Description

Links are NOT allowed. Format your description nicely so people can easily read them. Please use proper spacing and paragraphs.
[The Eternal Scattering Flowers: Fiore Caduto Eterna] is a game ill-suited of being known as a galge, as the main heroine would – regardless of the chosen route – meet her demise.

Fudou Niito, a resident of Japan, went to bed dissatisfied with the ending of the game. When he next awoke, he found himself in the body of the game’s hated fake saint, Elrise.

Confused, but with an understanding that Elrise’s actions would spell disaster for many lives in the future, he took advantage of the situation and acted to change the course of history.

As a result, despite her rotten personality, Elrise was adored by those around her as a perfect saint. Furthermore, the game itself was intrinsically linked to his original world and changed accordingly to suit Elrise’s actions. Without any knowledge of what the hell was going on, the fake saint Elrise continued to alter her fate.

A saint on the outside, but a man on the inside.

The transmigrator was a piece of sh*t and the person he transmigrated into was also a piece of shit. A combination of sh*t and sh*t would cause an accident – to create the greatest fake saint sh*tshow of the year!

Best of the best, that's all. You ask why? Well read this then.

The story' is interesting, the comedy is good, the plot is good too and not too much and moreover, me, who love slice of life kind of setting is like this kind of type too. The reason are simple. Yes, simple. No useless plot, its balance and proper. The others-perspective kind of setting is lovely too. I love when everyone thought Her as a saint-like goddess. Moreover, the Lore and explanation about the time travel is great too.... more>> Basically everything. That's why I don't know what I need to type anymore because I love everything.

One of my most favorite novel of all time. The MC is already overwhelmingly powerful and the author was still able to make the her even stronger while making the story more and more interesting. The comedies are on spot and funny, seriously she was worrying that the main hero Vernell was going muscle macho route instead of increasing his favorabilty with the heroine, I was laughing out loud when reading it. One of the misunderstanding elements was how she was actually selfish and only want to achieve her goal... more>> of happy end by acting like a true saint but nonetheless people see her as a real saint even the witch was fooled by her. Later everyone will know she was not a Saint choosen by the will of the world, but still she was a Saint in people's hearts. The MC growth are not quite noticeable, but basically she was striving to achieve a HAPPY END for everyone (based on her ideal), but she was not included in those happy end, when she came back to live then she finally noticed how important she is for everyone and came to appreciate her third life? Her heart was also purified a little bit towards the end lol, and her inner monologue become a little bit decent? Definitely one of my favorite novels of all times. <<less

The story is interesting. The focus of the story is on how the MC who is reincarnated as a fake saint wants to make the hero and main heroine achieve a happy ending even if she (or he) have to sacrifice her lives considering that the MC is a fan of the main heroine.

Although this is a gender bender and fantasy genre novel. But the MC is quite aware of her true gender identity, which is male at soul even though her body is a beautiful girl. So that the... more>> MC avoids all forms of romantic relationships that can lead to gender deviation like yuri or yaoi.

The most interesting story of this novel is how the misunderstanding created by the MC to achieve a happy ending for the hero and main heroine. The original MC was a fake saint but she acted to be a saint more than the real saint herself so even the main boss was fooled. Even so, it was all done as an 'act' to fool the people around the MC. But the people around the MC were fascinated by the MC's noble deeds so they admired her.

The shortcoming of this novel, I think is more about the MC character who is a bit le*d where she sometimes uses her girl's body to touch breast of heroines during certain crisis conditions. Although this scene is seen by a third person as a rescue act. So impressed as 'ecchi comedy'. Whatever it is, it's still s*xual harassment, okay? Even though the MC is a beautiful girl. However the MC was quite aware that the original character was actually rotten, so she didn't go any further to commit further s*xual perversions. It's just more like taking advantage of opportunity, instead of taking advantage of authority for personal pleasure.

Apart from that, I am quite amused by the comedy of misunderstandings presented by this novel, so it is quite worth reading.

Spoiler

The good ending of the fantasy and gender bender genre novel is that MC chooses to be single for life and withdraws from civilization to live peacefully and slowly. And yeah, MC finally chose to live a lifetime of singleness accompanied by her (female) guardian knight by building a wooden house in a remote forest.

I'm glad the MCs stayed 'sane' until the end so she didn't fall into the LG*T group.

But the bad news is that MC failed to achieve her ambition to match the hero and main heroine in main story because the hero had already been captivated by the MC since his first meeting even though the MC persisted in maintaining her sanity to not get involved in anything romantic.

However, in the side story, MC's ambition is achieved to match the hero and main heroine to achieve a happy ending even in a parallel world.

In other words, the ending of this story is very satisfying in my opinion considering that a good ending is that the story must be able to fully answer the initial premise of the story and that this novel has achieved it.

This should be a text book example of how to write a story. You should read every thing, all of the extra inclued. The author know how to use the extra to develop a wolrd we havent learned much of.

I personally prefer to rate this 4-star instead of 5 (which is only for masterpieces= not exist except you are going to get a Nobel prize with it), but in the novel's standard of this whole site, I have no choice but to vote 5-star. It's a fun ride of a novel and leaves me some expression of its existence in a corner of my memory. That's enough to highly regard this as a fine piece of work.

Not every novel has to have to change something in you, which is,... more>> well, a very sensitive topic. Some novels change the whole life of some, but can't do anything but receive a sneer from the others. And, well, again, can you guarantee that the change of view after reading the novel is for the better? Like the more precious books you read, the more you "level up" and become better? I'm sure it doesn't work like that. Like self-help series books, the fact that can your life change or not after reading the book totally depends on yourself, not the second book, or the third or any other books after that. It depends solely on you. Maybe you haven't changed at all and are in the delusion of being so, a very dangerous thought that novels and self-help books bring up. They make you overestimate your ability, think that you have things you don't even have. How to check for the change? Time. Only by the review of others on you over a very long time is the only hope for you to know, not after you just read some random novel and proclaim to have changed your whole being and become another person. People don't change that easily, to begin with. <<less

It's excellent fun. The main character has some screws loose specifically when concerning her self worth, and some chapters went a bit too far with praises; but beyond that the plot is tight, the villains were all with understandable motivation, and the emotional punches can knock you hard. Among the sea of cookie cutter Mary Sues who pull knowledge and miracles out of nowhere, this superhuman I-can-solo-your-entire-nation character had to wrack her brain fighting unconventional enemies and ended up being much more well rounded. Oh, and have I mentioned there... more>> is no cringy romance? Nice.

Oh man. I have to create an account to review this novel.

I read Power in Shadow before, but this is on another level of misunderstanding comedy. The author's sense of humor is twisted, and very much to my liking.

Also, props to the translators, as a person who used to do translator's work myself, I understand that it is super hard to deliver comedy translation properly. Yet, the translators here did an excellent job, sometimes just by leaving the jokes in Romanji. They even added references to Jap pop culture, which... more>> is another plus.

I am still reading, and enjoying this novel. Highly recommended. <<less

It was an unexpectedly fun experience reading the story.

Originally I thought it was a very ordinary wish-fulfillment isekai story like any other but, since I was recommended it, I gave it a try. It wasn't an ordinary wish-fulfillment story.

Here's how it differs: it is a misunderstanding story that doesn't actually seem illogical. The reason for it is because the main character lacks empathy and a connection with reality. She (he?) doesn't understand how others feel aside from the most surface-based impression and has no interest in changing it.

The main character... more>> herself (himself?) plays a role of a Saint in a rather selfish manner, and does so with the intent of getting the ending to a video-game that they would want (and they do treat the world they are in as an extension to the video-game, even going as far as to deny the significance of their own life, since they are "an (originally shitty) extra character of the game", giving others the impression of selflessness), so we don't get usual boring tired out arcs that most other isekai go through, and many clichés also don't happen here, because the main character has a very specific way of interaction with their environment.

The disconnect between the perspectives of the main character and the surrounding characters is therefore very hilarious due to how widely different they are.

But it also leaves room for good drama. The characters aren't reduced to comical caricatures for the sake of making jokes, they still have very real and understandable feelings and opinions, and, coupled with the very non-comedic situation they are in, many dramatic moments have been written.

It's a tightly written and well-planned out read that will satisfy most of the audience, so giv eit a try if you haven't already. <<less

Very disappointing for such high reviews. I stopped at chapter 20, which is approximately 1/5 of the story because it was too boring.

MC narrates what he does, then the pov changes, and other characters narrate exactly the same scene. It doesn't bring any new information, the characters just praise the godly Saint (MC) and that's it.

There is no adventure, no Chara dev, no plot to look forward to because MC just crushes everything with brut force and lol about it. That's the essence of this story, MC going "LOL."

I'm sorry... more>> for the translator who put in hours and hours of efforts to give us this work, but in my opinion it wasn't worth it. <<less

At first I couldn't adapt to the author’s writing style it felt close and personal and it honestly made me uncomfortable since I'm used to feeling it is fiction. When Niita the MC turned into the fake saintess Elrise he maintained his original personality looking down on others who were weaker or slightly incompetent compared to himself the OP Saint-sama. He would do it feeling exhilarated at his never-before-seen power and would get deep in the act of being a Saint whowas endlessly forgiving and all merciful to anyone within... more>> ’her’ reach.

I really liked this novel because of how much effort the author pays into explaining every single mystery delving into plot holes and patching them all up with logical reasoning and various theories using otaku knowledge from other times and spaces (manga, anime, otaku specialties) which made sense considering that Niito, after all, has been an otaku since the very beginning and in fact his sense of fiction and reality which he lacked made him feel less of a line of thinking that others would consider logical and this sense of realty is ironically built in what he had supposed was a fictional world. This author did an excellent job in making the personas more 3-D by adding several POV's. If anything it's the MC who tends to understate his actions as he sees it as a routine but from a spectators view we as readers can understand what was happening outside of the MC’s unreliable narration. <<less

Man this is one of the better misunderstanding-based novel on this site. The story conclude nicely and doesn’t stray from its purpose like “to be a power in the shadow” where there’s ton of chapters but the story just keep getting worse.

I love it. The first starting was lame but not in bad way and was funny. The whole story was pretty dragged out tbh like it could have been over faster but they added multiple pov (which was good in a way). The ch 78 was so emotion and I cried man I need to get rid of onion slicing ninjas. 10/10 I would I highly recommend this

It started off a bit rough, but quickly grabs you as long as you like the light hearted, nonsensical nature of this type of story. It is at its heart a comedy afterall.

Gender bender done well. I like the gender bender genre, but most of them fail to do it right. Being lighthearted, this story uses the gender bender as a mechanism for humour more than anything else, and thus is able to do it really well.

A great read for lighthearted laughs, with a good overall story that has proper... more>> worldbuilding and a plot that is headed to a proper conclusion.

Seeing that this novel has been picked up for publishing as a LN, I will be buying it to support the author. Thats how much I like it. I rarely give novels 5 stars. 4 is usually as high as I go. I think giving it 5 stars and buying the LN is the highest praise I can give it. <<less

This unreliable tr*sh protagonist rivals Cale for the amount of self delusion and hijinks. Super fun story that gets surprisingly deep as details of the world are slowly revealed and the other characters perspectives give us a good glimpse outside the narrators aggressive world view.

This isn't a perfectly written story. Every piece of information is repeated thrice when told to the reader, and then repeated from a different perspective before the author is ready to move the story forward (granted, it still moves at a quick pace, it's just repetitive). The first 40 chapters could've (read: should've) been cut to 20.

But it's a wonderful story if you can speed read through the slog near the beginning. The author gets much better at inserting comedy in between the lines, the cast/MC later become and introduce... more>> more likeable characters, and differing perspectives become better utilized (or maybe you just become used to them, either way!).

The way it wraps everything up and ties the reincarnation into a broader story is pretty cool as well, usually isekai novels don't go through the effort anyways, and even when they do it isn't this well put together. I'm excited to see what the author writes next because by the end this was an honest-to-god 5/5. <<less

It ain't perfect, but mama always said nothin' is perfect. It knows what it is, a comedy, and doesn't get too big for its britches. It's a good read if you're lookin' for an entertainin' read. It ain't got a big plot or twist since the main draw is the comedy.

LOVE the backstory, the worldbuilding, and the whole twisty plot of why and how MC got isekai'd into the game. The characters had so much heart despite initially being stereotypes. The humor and misunderstandings were right up my alley. Love Elrise-sama and her ambiguous peaceful end lmao.
