The novel has a unique charm. If you're looking for a peak wish-fulfillment harem fantasy, nothing beats this. It’s not a novel with deep settings or complex characters; it’s simply a "feels good" novel. However, I can confidently say that among all the "feels good" novels I’ve read, this is one of the best. Here’s a disclaimer that might be a deal-breaker for some:
- The main character (MC) is a scumbag. His motives are not much different from those of the "MC" (the protagonist of the world he transmigrated to). He does several things that are outright despicable and, in many ways, is even worse than the "MC."
- Despite his flaws, the MC is respected, loved, and everyone wants to be close to him. What makes this work (at least for me) is that he doesn’t gain recognition through petty acts like slapping people.
- The MC is overpowered.
If you can overlook these aspects, it’s an enjoyable read.
The heroines are well-crafted. Each has her own distinct personality and desires. The best part of the story is how the MC wins their affection. Regardless of how it’s framed, the romance is solid compared to other urban/harem or shoujo stories on the site.
Of course, not everything is realistic, but here’s my defense:
The protagonist is in a fictional world, not a real one. And the world he inhabits is a typical urban/harem setting. It would be odd if the characters had a lot of depth in such a context.
I agree with most of what the Translator said about this novel. However, I want to add a few points. The original main character (MC) is an arrogant, petty scumbag. Apart from his medical skills and martial arts, there's nothing redeeming about him. While the new MC isn't exactly a saint, he looks a lot better in comparison. As you read the novel, you'll start to think that the original MC deserves everything the new MC does to him. He's a mentally unstable moron with serious anger issues.
Imagine a scenario where the arrogant main character has women falling for him left and right, thinking he's invincible, and using powerful allies to protect him as the story progresses. In this novel, however, that guy isn't protected by the protagonist's halo and gets what he deserves. The new MC's role is to gradually strip away that halo and plot armor, ensuring the story doesn't unfold as it was originally intended.
The original MC was a mercenary who considered it an honorable profession. He's rude, overly loud, and extremely arrogant, essentially seeing himself as a god. He's also a rapist and an all-around scumbag. His first ally is someone who runs the underworld, which speaks volumes about his character. He's petty and so arrogant that he thinks a top-level beauty from one of the four noble families in the city would like him just based on his looks. If you even slightly insult him, he'll go to extreme lengths to get revenge.
Despite these flaws, the story is entertaining. The heroines are a bit bland but have their own personalities and interests. You'll feel really bad for how the new MC treats his ex-fiancée later on. The plot is engaging, and I'd give it a 4/5. The only reason it's not a 5/5 is because both the new and original MCs are scumbags, and their treatment of those around them can be frustrating at times.
Another thing to note is that trying to make sense of the story's events is futile. Many developments are highly unrealistic. For example, imagine you're outside throwing rocks, and a rich person comes up and chats with you for a minute. Suddenly, you get a call that your company is almost bankrupt, and stocks are plummeting. The rich person, because of that single conversation, would risk life and limb and spend millions to save you. That's the kind of unrealistic development you can expect in this novel. Don't try to understand the logic behind it; it will just give you a headache.
It's an isekai adventure story with RPG elements, nothing more. But if you like those tags, this is a great webnovel. The adventure aspect is particularly well-executed.
The "real" main character is the sword, but it becomes almost permanently bound to Fran (the girl in the picture) a few chapters in. So if you're worried about the main character being dull because they're just a sword, Fran effectively takes on the role of the main character, with the sword providing guidance and advice. Fran is a well-crafted character—she’s kind when she chooses to be and ruthless when necessary, which is quite refreshing. There’s none of that nonsense where thugs who enslave people are spared; they get what they deserve.
Unfortunately, around chapter 305, the quality of the translations starts to decline significantly. Someone else has taken over translating the later chapters, so it might improve again once you reach them, but I couldn’t tolerate it. Fortunately, the series has been licensed, and as of this review, there are 11 professionally translated volumes of the light novel available.
This narrative holds promise, but unfortunately, its execution falters due to the writing style. Instead of immersing the reader in a gripping tale, it feels like reading a private journal, with the protagonist's inner monologue dominating the narrative. The storytelling relies heavily on exposition rather than vivid imagery or compelling action. Surprisingly, in this instance, the manga adaptation outshines the novel, offering a more dynamic and engaging experience.
I've thoroughly enjoyed reading every chapter on the MTL website, and I guarantee that this story is an emotional rollercoaster you won't want to miss! It's filled with laughter, tears, joy, and heartwarming moments. The characters' battle scenes are truly exhilarating and heroic, leaving readers inspired. My only wish is for more chapters exploring their future adventures and the blossoming romance between the main couple. I'm eager for more from you, dear Author!
By the way, if you happen to come across any fanfiction based on this novel, please do share! And please continue with your translations – I'm grateful for your work!
