Overturn the (supposed) tragic fate of the villains with knowledge cheats!!

Compared constantly to his exceptional younger sister, losing even his position as the next lord, he fell into despair and imposed a tyrannical rule, leading to his defeat by the protagonists——such is the life of the villain Weiss Hamilton in a certain game.

Moved by his story, I became a “villain supporter.” One day, I woke up in the game world as “Weiss.” It was a few years before he was defeated by the protagonists… In other words! It means I can still change his fate now!!

Having played this game extensively and repeated hundreds of simulations on how to save Weiss, I will avoid the destruction flags with my knowledge and experience!!

A fantasy of villain redemption starting from reincarnation as my favorite character!!

This was fun. I'm unsure if the "dense protagonist" tag is warranted - but I do understand where it's coming from.

The premise of the story is your usual "reincarnated into video game" trope. The twist is that our "gamer" had sympathies for some of the villains. In his world-view, there are two kinds of evil - those with tragic back stories and those who are evil for the sake of it. Our gamer hero believes that a lot of the "villains" in his favorite games do not deserve to be... more>> villains and it was the lack of anyone helping them out that caused them to follow the bad path.

He is so passionate about it that he gets his chance to try and save the "villains". That is a unique angle that I've not seen too often. Usually, with a lot of these stories, we see the reincarnated individual taking on the role of the game-hero and saving folks in his place. But here? Our protagonist is aware of the tragic back-stories of a lot of his favorite villainesses and goes out of his way to save them.

Something I'm a bit confused by is the protagonist's motivations. In the beginning, he feels that he's been inserted into the body of Weiss Hamilton and tries to set things up so that when Weiss returns he'll have a better life. But near the beginning of the story there is some kind of "merging" which takes place and some of the narration after that confuses me.

Here is an easy example - our gamer *knows* that his personal maid likes the noble who he reincarnated into (named Weiss Hamilton). He also knows that the character Weiss likes the maid. You can see a lot of consideration between the two in their interactions. From the outside, it is easy to think of them as an item/couple.

But the inner monologue of our gamer? It goes something like "Weiss cares for you and I won't let you sacrifice yourself!" THAT confuses me. It's not the usual "dense protagonist" who is unaware of the affections of his associates. Our protagonist clearly knows and responds favorably. The thing that confuses me - is he responding for himself or for Weiss? And are they not the same?

I like the plot so far. There is a bit over-arching thing happening and the story is slowing building up to it. Am looking forward for more chapters.

A nice isekai story. That's how I would recommend this. Very vanilla in some parts, but good execution and a unique premise. Most certainly fun.
