Description

Links are NOT allowed. Format your description nicely so people can easily read them. Please use proper spacing and paragraphs.

God: “I’ll lie to this guy and tell him that I reincarnated him as the protagonist, when actually I just reincarnated him as cannon fodder (LOL).”

A high school boy who longed for the protagonists that appeared in fiction got hit by a truck and died. He was then called before God, who told him that he will be reincarnated inside a game based on a novel. Our boy was happy to be told that he was going to be reincarnated as Protagonist… However, he was actually reincarnated as mere cannon fodder inside utsuge!! (T/N: Utsuge translates as “melancholy/depressing game” and that’s basically it.)

And so, the guy was played by god’s scheme … Well, such a thing didn’t happen though. He firmly held onto his belief and the vision of his ideal which then changed the world.

It's a pretty interesting take on the "reincarnated into a game world" trope.

When the MC met the goddess in charge, she told him he would be reincarnated into a character of a certain game (a dark, hardcore game, apparently, where every choice might lead to someone's death). He never played the game but knew about this one character because he was voted as "the best character" of this very popular game (only because people were trolling). Consequently, he mistakenly thinks that the character is the hero of the story while... more>> he's actually a cannon fodder third-rate villain. The bored goddess finds it very funny and let him believe he's the hero.

The mistaken Fey (the MC) then starts his life in this new world with a very clear idea of what character he wants to play: a dark, lonesome, stone-faced hero. Because of that there's a great disparity between his behavior and his actual thoughts, which is often funny.

Furthermore, not knowing the plot but knowing it's a game world, he constantly (wrongly) interprets what's happening around him based on his general knowledge of game plots, on the premise that he is the hero of this world and that it's a shounen-like world (so he thinks he can't die ^^'). He misunderstands the actual hero as a third-rate villain or a sidekick, the main heroine as his rival, etc. And everything his teacher (who is in love with him) does is interpreted by him as being some kind of special way of teaching him some profound theory about fighting...

Sometimes the pace is not that great, the plot-armor is strong (but mostly funny), but I generally find the contrast between the original very dark plotline of the game and the absurd comedy it turns into after Fey gets involved quite enjoyable most of the time.

It's not really a serious story and the MC is basically "playing a character", which means he has little to no attachment to the people around him (because they are just game characters in his mind), still, because he thinks of himself as an absolute shounen hero, he won't let anyone die or anything like that, so he's still likeable.

I quite enjoy it. <<less

It started ok, liked the premise of a deluded protagonist everybody else misunderstands. But the part where his instructor gained romantic feelings for her student (the protagonist) gave me the ick.

To be fair I barely remember their age gap. I barely remember the characters names. I barely remember the other details except for the main point that a Goddess (?) Tricked him into thinking he's a hero and that's his motivation. But I don't feel motivated to re-read it.

I know its too early at just 19 and 2/4 or so... more>> chapters. (Its divided into parts) but there isn't enough of a hook to keep me motivated especially with the volume 1 and even volume 2 being so generic.

Still dont let my jaded opinion sway you too much first time readers should always give a book a chance.

Also would help you to keep this page open to be able to open choppies from this index. Next page on website does not go to the next chapter but to the paid chapter blocked pages.

Translation quality is pretty nice. There are many consistent gendering errors like the main Character who is male being referred to as female/her. But who knows might be deliberate with all the madness going on about "genders" at present. But overall its easy to read and understand. <<less
