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!

You may find MC weird, sometimes dumb sometimes smart, insecure about low self-worth. It IS exactly like that. She will say I do this bec of this but no, she is also unreliable. This is explained halfway through the story. So expect her insecurities, even when she is like a saint in goodness she will feel insecure about herself. This may make you not like her at first but not everyone needs to be perfect, and SOMEHOW she looks perfect on the outside. Good main character creation I would say.... more>> Most supporting characters are basic, but it also has some good side characters like the p*rvert guy and king and mob characters 5/5

I wouldnt say its "LMAO im dying 🤣" type of comedy. But her tendency to unreliable narrate and then seeing the other's point of view with real narration is actually a new and fresh. It sometimes make you put a smile. It is not funny, but fun. 3/5

Worldbuilding looks cr*ppy cliche gameworld on the surface but the more you read the better it gets. It looks like it will get really complicated and deep. 4/5

Story and plot itself is strongly intertwined with worldbuilding. It still puts some plot which is kinda hard with brokenly overpovered main character. 5/5

As I said in the comedy section, the unreliable narrating is fun altough not funny. But there is info dumps, random worldbuilding in the middle of dialogs/action scenes, over-complicating a simple explanation and repeating over and over kinda annoys. 2/5

Overall it deserve its current stars. Recommended by Jackie. <<less

It's not a bad read but nowhere near a great read. If you enjoy a twisty plot this could be your cup of tea, unfortunately the author explaining the world is like putting spoiled milk in that cup of tea.

Awesome MC and interesting plot. Plus so many extras/side stories.

Only annoying thing is how the MC keeps having pervy thoughts about various women, plus the ongoing b**bs obsession. It's technically part of their character setting (NEET) but it feels so awkward to read. Not too bad though, you can just skim over those parts.

At first, I was having doubts when starting since idk, it might not be as interesting as I thought. Turns out I was wrong fortunately. Overall, I like how the story progresses. I understand why he authors implied that Fudou Niito is tr*sh, because he is. (In his own way of course) It's basically math you know? Add two negatives and you get a positive. Well, tr*sh inside, Saintly and Kind Outside. She might be kinda have some naughty thoughts but it's a relief she doesn't go too far (or... more>> maybe because doing such stuff will risk her good reputation or something lmao)

I was expecting comedy from a galge/Isekai trope but it also had some interesting moments
Spoiler

they actually got me on that monster dog. I kinda feel bad about the guy, I think he's a good boy. The king was kinda pitiful but not really much.

[collapse]

Edit: I forgot to add but yeah, she might be fusion of two tr*sh people, but she's a real Saint (Outside)

I know I'm literally just repeating words over and over again but don't mine me. I enjoyed this despite being a short read, and I hope those who are planning to do so will feel the same.

I just want to point out a little before any of you reading it. The MC narration won't get better, it's tr*sh. Not a likeable tr*sh, but just a pure garbage. Sometimes you see him talking about serious event but suddenly talking about food in 1 fkin paragraph! Even more so his monologue. The more you read, the more you know he is a tr*sh. The author tried really hard to portray MC as a boy too much.

But the other pov however is so good that I even thought it... more>> was being written by a different person.

As for the plot, you can see the other review.

So I'll give it 4/5. With the 1 being tr*sh MC <<less

Interesting premise, and very fun to read, tho I do have some gripes with it. This novel is about a guy (Fudou Niito) who gets isekai'd to his favorite game and is about 10yrs~ in the past and decides to create the happy ending he wants. If you want a synopsis, read the description.

However, I want to talk about the way it builds and ends, which bothered me a bit. SPOILER

... more>>
Spoiler

As he slowly gets closer to the ending of the game, Elrise (Fudou Niito/MC) pushes this idea that since he was reincarnated, because he was always s*um on the inside, its ok for him to sacrifice himself (or herself) in this world to get rid of the Witch (whoever kills the witch (usually the saint) gets the witch's curse, and since the saint's body is built to somewhat resist the witch's curse they slowly lose themselves to it, thereby becoming the witch in about 5yrs or less). Since Elrise is a fake saint and doesn't have the constitution of a saint, if the witch's curse is passed to her, she will die as a result.

The issue I had wasn't necessarily that Elrise (or to be more precise the soul of the MC) had wanted to sacrifice, its that the MC said he was s*um when his actions surely didn't felt that way. Especially when he planned to sacrifice himself, him realizing and caring for the characters of the Fiori world, and even the premise of how he defeated the "Witch" using a holy bomb of positive energy and mana circulation was somehow "purifying" him from his "scummy-ness". This contradiction was such a nagging point that I couldn't hold my suspension of disbelief even at the end of it and left a bad taste with my mouth. The old Pizzarise was true scum, the MC felt like he had depersonalization or some kind of mental health issue rather than being scum.

If it didn't make sense, it's probably because of you haven't read it.

[collapse]

Having said that, I still enjoyed it. Especially...

Spoiler

Alfrea who is the first saint but somehow she has no dignity and is pure ponkotsu. Her flags and unnecessary commentary made me laugh and I enjoyed her company.

[collapse]

The third person perspective from the other characters was also great, especially when we see it from them praising Elrize and it almost becoming galge-like. Plus, when the tragedy hits, the feels hit strong. Besides that one gripe, it was a fun read. I did wish for more character development, but at the end most of the sub-characters felt like filler at the end.
Spoiler

Even the main heroine, Eterna was filler, color me disappointed. I wanted some kind of yuri development but that's personal preference.

[collapse]
And the end felt like it was a bit stretched but otherwise, I enjoyed the read.

Worth the read for fun. Give it a shot if the description intrigues you. Also worth noting, J-Novel released the 1st novel in the Americas (EN), support if you like it enough to do so. <<less

I liked this, obviously not life changing literature but was light easy to read and fun in a trope-y way that was enjoyable.

While the MC is genderbent and girl crazy/slightly pe*verted it’s not to a point where he overtly takes advantage or is super creepy to anyone.

While the story is pretty predictable it didn’t feel drawn out or boring getting to the ending. The side stories and extras were also extremely enjoyable and helped to tie up some loose ends.

Overall this is a pretty well done OP protagonist with a... more>> great affect on their surroundings, and decent outside pov to appropriately ooh and ahh, which is satisfying. It’s a good read if you go in with light expectations. <<less

a pretty fun story for people who are good at skipping text.

Approximately 20% of the text is necessary. Most of the rest is repetitive annoying filler that you'll find on many other jap novels.

Approximately 5% (only 5%!!!) is 'umai delicious delicious cooking rice rice japanese curry delicious amazing sama' filler.

But if you have the patience of a real saint or the intelligence of the original fake saint, then you won't need to skip any of the text and you can just enjoy the story.

The story is overall good but there are elements that drag it down. Several parts feel like they could be edited to have greater effect. It's short at only 89 chapters but there's still a bunch of unnecessary/pointless infodumps and repeated information. There are some developments that should have been foreshadowed or at least hinted at before being brought up abruptly, while others feel like the author spoiling their own story.

A few examples:

During one scene the action stops so the MC can internal-monologue about how she's wearing an mp-restoring flower... more>> on her head, then detail exactly how much MP each petal restores even though she's never actually used it. It's later used by another character in a fight but makes no difference in how that fight plays out.

A hugely important part of the saint/witch dynamic is nonchalantly spoiled early by the MC thinking to herself. In a later scene this info is later dramatically revealed up to other characters who react with appropriate levels of shock/horror. Shouldn't this have been revealed to the reader at the same time? Just because the MC knows in advance doesn't mean the reader has to.

The MC is OP in both magic and swordsmanship. She spends several paragraphs talking about how she invented a spell that lets her copy other people's swordsmanship in addition to training herself to be able to handle the demands it places on her body. She never actually fights with a sword, in all the fights she only uses spells.

Most of the story is told from the MC's perspective but there are sometimes POV shifts which repeat the last chapter as seen from someone else. Some of these work well, others are 80 percent the same other than the MC's dialogue sounding classier.

Finally the earth plotline is overcomplicated and takes up too much time considering the simple and inconsequential conclusion. Nothing in this story necessitated a sideplot concluding in an entire chapter explaining timeline mechanics. <<less

Since the other 5 star already say a lot about this masterpiece, I'm only gonna summarize my review of the good thing this novel has:

  • It is unique. Reborn as the villainess is the norm nowaday, but male-to-female reborn as a villainess is very rare and even more so for reborn as a villainess without the cliche reborn heroine interference.
  • The character building is exceptional. From the MC, the supporting character to even the normal civilian and the politician has their own motive, emotion and actual reason for any action they do.
  • The world building is, in my view much weaker than the other aspect, yet still incrediblely detail.
  • And the cream of the crop, the most amazing part of the story is of course, the MC. Cute, cool, almost perfect exterior combine with the cringy interior monologue. Than the other character in the story itself point out the flaw of the MC and help 'her' change herself. The MC alone deserve giving a 4 star for the story, everything else just enhance it a bit to nearly perfect level.

This story was more enjoyable than I expected. I originally started reading this novel because I stumbled upon the manga. The manga made me interested in reading further ahead, so I came here searching for more.

The main character is a black hearted Saint that is known for being the greatest Saint of all time. Her reputation stems from the fact that she portrays herself as the ideal Saint in front of everyone, and she has the most magic in her arsenal.

The plot actually makes use of the initial premise where... more>> the main character is reincarnated as the fake Saint in a Galge, which is a visual novel where the player can romance possible heroines. The original fake Saint was a terrible person, and the main character is also terrible, but the main character is redeemed by the fact that they can hide their own terribleness with acting and magic. The main character's initial motivation for saving Fiore, which is the Galge's world, is accomplished at the end of the story.

Throughout the story, the readers know what the main character is thinking about while she maintains her Saint act, and the humor comes from the dichotomy between the mask she uses and the thoughts she shows.

The author failed at making me laugh at the homos*xual jokes, though the story does lightly touch upon the idea about how an established personality and s*xual preference does not suddenly change when one's mind is moved into a different gendered body. Liking men as a man does not suddenly turn into liking women as a woman. Therefore, the main character does not seem to be into men when they became the fake Saint.

The most egregious part of this novel is the repeat of story points. There are many, many chapters where the author repeats the previous chapter from a different character's point of view. The information in these chapters is also redundant and seem likely to be padding to increase word count. I pushed through and read these chapters because I did not want to miss any important details. Now that I've read every needless, unnecessary, superfluous, inessential chapter, I can recommend future readers to skip them because they barely do anything for the story. Please read these filler chapters only if there is a desire for more useless information.

If future readers can overlook the fact that this story contains some uses of informal language and terms such as LOL, LMAO, memes, and referential humor, then future readers may enjoy this story.

I give this story a 3.5/5, which I rounded up to 4/5. <<less

I've read this story multiple times and I can safely say it's a favorite of mine.

The story follows the typical isekai set up of a random nerd being sent to another world. The reason I like this story however is because of the upbeat way the Main Character describes his (her?) thoughts. The MC is a really interesting character, talking about his life and rhe events around him in an Obsessively self centered way but still making is quite funny to read.

All this comes to a climax when ... more>>
Spoiler

we find out the MC in his original world was terminally ill and was very self aware of his own morality. As well as being emotionally stunted his whole life to the point he was shunned for the most part.

[collapse]
Because of that the MC had a hard time accepting the people in his new world.

Highlights of this story include:

  • Multiple character POV's that show dirastically different interpretations of events
  • Very few loose ends by the end of the story
  • An actual ending that doesn't take 300 chapters.
  • Explanations for basically all events that happen
  • Comedy thats above average
  • Translation that is top notch
  • An upbeat story that has no shoe-horned romance.
Marks agains the story include:

  • Really weird explanations for the MC being isekai'd
  • The story also repeated some points quite a bit
    Spoiler

    Like explinations for the Witch and why the MC does certain thinge, also the way he introduces himself every few chapters.

    [collapse]
  • Genderbender is a niche tag and can be a dealbreaker.
Overall, I would recommend this story if you like Genderbender, isekai, Galge/villainess story's. It does have some flaws but the MC is just a really fun character that I can enjoy the story for the most part. TL;DR 9/10 story I like the MC <<less

My review below when I was still at c35 still holds 100% IMO. The author is a great writer, and many individual chapters have great flow, emotional expression, and dialogue. However, IMO they need more practice in storytelling - many chapters don't connect to the previous chapters, many plot elements are introduced so late they don't add anything to the plot, and overall the story feels forced until the very end. Be it the reason why the real world is getting affected by Elrise's actions or why the Saint and... more>> Witch are actually unkillable by normal people, everything feels like it was come up with in a few minutes as a hacky way to piece the story together, even if it sounds nice looking only at how the author wrote the chapter's dialogue. I would rate the first thirty chapters 5 stars, but the last fifty chapters 3 stars (closer to 2 for actual skill, but I did enjoy anticipating how the story would end even if it was deux ex machina'd to death).

______________

Original review (c35) :

I love the initial concept and the early implementation of the novel, it's a perfect combination of an interesting personality using their prior knowledge to gain strength and power despite hardship after reincarnation. However, the later developments feel absolutely forced, and although the plot could be resolved by c15, random delays get choked down the reader's throat. I'll probably continue reading, but it feels like the author started with a clear idea of how to begin the novel, but changed the plot's direction after reading user feedback and rushed the implementation. It was still charming because of the MC's personality, but then in c33 the author randomly threw in "the MC is losing intelligence as time progresses" as an actual system in the story in order to justify why the MC couldn't resolve everything in five chapters.

Spoiler
    • Half the side characters treat the MC as a status symbol or a princess waiting to be saved. They charge in despite knowing the MC can handle the situation, and the MC has to hurriedly move to save the annoying side characters moving on their own and making assumptions even if the MC says otherwise. And guess what, this is an absolute inconvenience to every plot the MC has to kill the witch, delaying the novel another 5 chapters until the author can throw in another screwball.
    • The author's introduces actual retcon chapters every 5-8 chapters. Officially, they're chapters to view the situation from another person's perspective, but they always shift away from that character to third person in order to start hurriedly adding details on why the MC couldn't actually move in the previous scenario or to try adding logic on why the side characters are acting out of line.
    • The author keeps changing why the MC can't just go and kill the witch. First, it was because the MC wanted to see Eterna's ending. Then, they wanted to prevent the hero from becoming a muscleman (and why? No idea, but the author decides it'll become the MC's mission for several chapters). Then, the MC wanted to ogle girls so they didn't do anything for a couple more chapters (yes, that was the reason stated). The author found a good option at "the witch will teleport away once the MC tries to fight her, " but all of the MC's good solutions get thrown out without much reason other than "they wouldn't let the game characters participate." Then the MC gets locked in a castle to prevent her from fighting the witch, because she took seemingly several months to wait until Christmas to fight the witch. The MC could easily escape, but now her knight is acting on her own to screw the MC (of course, trying to "protect" her despite knowing the full plan).
    • Again the author keeps trying to add drama to prolong the story/add emotion. The MC's new body supposedly has a short life normally, and taking in the hero's darkness supposedly shortens it to a year. No explanation is given for why this is the case (is she sickly? Clearly not, based on all the other stuff she does and how the world establishes that high magic increases lifespan. Is taking in darkness dangerous? Clearly not, since several other much weaker characters do it throughout the novel with seemingly no adverse side effects.). Then the author decided that the MC was actually dying in the real world when they reincarnated - there was no foreshadowing for this, but suddenly the MC is confronting existential dread for a chapter or two and the readers are supposed to care? The MC quickly moves on with their life afterwards, without much mention of the dying real world MC again.
[collapse]

Again, I love the concept and the initial implementation, but the later screwiness of the plot is making me drop the rating from 5 to 3 stars. <<less

I read it through the ending, epilogue, and one side story at Kakuyomu. Whew, that was an emotional rollercoaster.

It's mainly about misunderstanding (s) and the comedy that stems from them. MC is a proper human being, surprisingly humane despite his claim as a 'filthy existence' (based on his personality).

Author did a good job with keeping the MC's character, while the majority of expressions that affect the reader usually came from his entourages and their (misdirected) preconceptions.

So, I liked the story. I enjoyed it pretty much. I spent whole my free time to read it till the end. And the more I think about it, the more I feel scammed.

  1. It's a really terrible gender bender story. MC just doesn't care at all, he says about some inconveniences, but after it he's just continues being the god-like actor, who doesn't see any problems playing whatever role. It's written something about how he changed... yeah, I don't buy it. He just continues to be tr*sh inside (and it's not my opinion, it's author's words, he really says his soul is very very dark, so he really suffers from any positive energy and really suffers from it. Ahm... what?)
  2. Author a lot of times continues repeating the same information again and again. Likes in the very interesting moment start saying all information prior to it from a perspective of another person. It really annoys.
  3. MC is OP but s*upid but smart (depends from author's will), the world is game (actually no, but it doesn't change a lot). I just don't like it.
  4. There are steam machines (In theory. In practice there's only one train), but people for some reason live in feudal society, don't know anything about gunpowder and don't build castles everywhere, only major cities are fortified. And there's no technomagic. I just don't understand this absolutely broken line of progress. You can't just rush for a steam engine, you need a lot of things to be done before. It just will be useless like making computer before getting electricity. And it is useless. There's no industrialization. It seems food is grown be the most ancient technologies. I just don't understand why to put it here if people live even not in the middle ages, it's deep dark ages considering lack of fortifications... for a thousand years of kinda constant war... Logics. Seems people there are just dumb, and it's no wonder why the world was gonna die without the OP hero. The scariest thing I've seen were thousands of monsters, meanwhile Roman republic, which didn't even control a whole not very populated Italy, in Punic wars easily could mobilize hundreds of thousands, so I see no excuse why people couldn't overwhelm any monsters with quantity.
While I enjoyed the story, I definitely wouldn't read it if there wasn't "gender bender" tag. Well, there's the tag, but there's no real gender... more>> bender story. Yeah, I really was scammed. It isn't bad, you can give it a try. It's just not for me. <<less

Well, well what a journey it has been.

Originally I really wanted to drop this as it felt like my school summaries of some book I had to write when I was younger. That and that happened and then that but no real tension at the start.

Though after some time - after chapter 20 as other comments have already pointed out - it got better and the style of telling the story changed and there was more substance to the story.

Although I liked it at the end and spent a lot... more>> of continuous time reading this and getting to the end - I felt quite unsatisfied. Why? Sorry that's a spoiler, not able to go around this one but let's also include what I liked.

  • Reincarnation - not even bland, a partial one at first progressing in it's "percentage" and then even a second one at the end. NICE, really innovative - at least this is a first for me, dunno if this is copied. I would not know the source - if there is, let me know; I wanna read this then too.
  • Catching story and element of surprise

Contra:

  • Long fuze to get to the point where chapter 3-5 should have been
  • No notable romance with the other MC - they kinda live together but as far as I read (skipped the side and some after stories) none. Why though? Male reincarnating as a female but is disgusted of men? Then go for female then Prime Knight-san is there you know? But I kinda don't get it - "When in Rome, do as the Romans do" you know? It definately influenced her already... Well alright...
  • Ahem... did I skip this part but what even is the Propheter even? Isn't it just someone very old that is able to make predictions? The turtle managed to predict the next saints for 1000 years almost correctly so it might seem as this job has more to it... But when MC gets it it is just "oh you can hear something really far away (and maybe even watch it - not sure about that, I forgot) "... Uhm, what does the world even need that for? I feel it is just makeshift of the world to make someone more intelligent for... what exactly? Predicting the saint? Heyho dear Kings just go through all Villages periodically and take a knife and slightly cut kids. I mean you could incorporate that into some mandatory baptism or population counting and stuff to literally find your Jesus.
  • The character kinda lacks depth. I mean yes mentally strange male reincarnated into female... But most of her thoughts are more akin to a program:
    • Fake the saint
    • I am tr*sh inside
    • Gonna get killed? Ah finally the garbage disposal is there
    • Lazy
[collapse]

I mean overall its fine and an excellent read but I feel like the author progressed significantly from the beginning to chapter 20 and beyond that more slowly - and it still had more potential with more character development. You literally took the bodybuilder route. Only that the FL only boosted her magic and appearance/conduct. <<less
