I Was Body-swapped

Description

Outside, I’m revered as an S-Rank Hunter.

At home, I’m at the bottom of the hierarchy—even the family dog ranks higher than me.

I’m Son Si-woo, a hero to the world but the lowest-ranking member of my own household.

Then, one night, while I was drunk and vulnerable, my body got swapped!

To the guy who did me this favor… I really have no idea how I’m going to repay you.

But since it’s come to this, I might as well make the most of it—living life to the fullest and indulging in all my desires.

It uses the tropes of a MC who is OP but puts it in adult novel. I think that combination makes it strong and gives it a somewhat fresh feeling. I've read other novel where the MC gets isekai'd, becomes OP and then gets transported back once the novel starts. This novel takes a similar approach but instead of transporting between worlds, it's between bodies. This gives some interesting plot points because the MC has the opportunity to react to people he used to know but in an anonymous position.... more>> There's also a stranger that is running around inside of his old body and interacting with his old family.

The adult scenes are nice. It's setting up to be a harem novel, but it's mainly centered around one woman as of now. We haven't seen the MC fully break free and embrace his new life yet. It's probably gonna be slow and repetitive for him to break free of his moral past.

It's a decent dungeon diving earth protection novel with a OP protagonist. He's not the strongest in his world, but he's got cheats from the combo of his past experience in a fresh slate body. There's a solid plot and "plot" combo where both advance steadily. I think a lot of the side characters have depth too. I think all of them have some kind of redeeming factor or backstory beyond just how we see them introduced. <<less

Although its premise is interesting, the story quickly loses its steam in the first 100 chapters because harping on and on about regret and revenge tends to get stale.

It's an early review, will update later.

The premise is, MC achieved the complete success in life as public figure, but in person, his life is just gold plated. Most of his regrets come from wasting his youth by living too straight and upright, which he can now redo, as he changed bodies with young loser and nobody. Expect s*x scenes from genre, but story doesn't revolve around it (nothing as of yet). Current 5 star rating is for unique premise, nice writing/translating and potential.

Chapter 23 update:

Mostly classical zero to hero... more>> action with training, using MC's knowledge as former best hunter.

Spoiler

First s*x scene, if you can call handjob that, happened at chapter 18. As expected of genre, reason sounds lousy, but it was hilarious how MC used secret technique to lengthen his d*ck because original was too small.

[collapse]

Chapter 70 update:

MC ACTUALLY!!! Tries to woo woman, instead of them falling for him just 'cause. R18 chapters to not R18 ratio is about 1:6?, either way, author seems to be writing story with intent to give Do-jin (switched) fulfilling life development with parallel success lines as a man (sex) and a hunter (power fantasy). Common go to academy (university) setting and MC showing off his talents development on hunter side of things. No news about Si-woo's family or Si-woo (switched).

Chapter 151 update:

Got two chapters from Si-woo (switched) POV and he isn't really doing anything, not even original's schedule.
Spoiler

Because he doesn't have a personality to make long term plans, fight monsters or act proactively. Although most infuriating thing is how original's wife accepted changed behavior as Si-woo "not being young anymore", daughter is at most, mildly suspicious, but sister-in-law, who was overseas for 7 years and his student from guild found out that he is fake at once. Pitiful guy.

[collapse]

He succeeded in wooing 3 girls and is working on the fourth. There is actual harem management. It's a bit funny how 4 women are asking for a date on Christmas and Do-jin (switched) is having hard time.

From around ~130 chapter there are hints how world might be in danger, which leads to surprisingly interesting, although shallow, heroic plot.
Spoiler

Lastly, he meets his wife as promising mage hunter and decides to seduce her. Not in a romantic way, but more of petty revenge for hiding secrets from original Si-woo (he only noticed it now), disregarding his opinion (understood it after taking a step back), just to see what face will she make after he reveals his identity. Her sister might had a crush on him by the way.

[collapse]

Got manhwa around 2025-03, but adaptation leans A LOT more to R18 side. <<less

One of the best Korean novels with R-18 elements that I've read so far, if not the best.

The premise:

... more>>
Spoiler

The protagonist, Son Siwoo, is a famous S-Class hunter and swordsman, known publicly as a hero, but in actuality his life isn't so rosy. His wife and daughter are cold to him, and he secretly suffers from an incurable internal injury that's slowly deteriorating his body and strength due to a past battle.

Then comes along Kim Dojin, a NEET loser who envies the life Siwoo displayed publicly. He happens to have a one-time use unique ability "Equivalent Exchange", which allows him to force an exchange that's perceived equal. He approaches Siwoo with the intention of swapping places with him, ignorant of his injury and frosty home life. Normally an exchange between him, a loser, and Siwoo, an S-Class hunter, would have been impossible, but due to the aforementioned injury, Siwoo's despair over his life, and envy of Dojin's youth, the exchange actually went through, and they wake up the next morning in each other's bodies.

At first, Siwoo is furious at having his body and identity unilaterally stolen from him, but quickly realises that Kim Dojin's body is incredibly talented at magic, something he as a sword user had never touched, despite his wife being one of the country's top mages. The unique experience of having his soul leave his body and enter a new one also granted him the unique ability to see mana, an advantage no other mage has. With the knowledge and experience he has as an S-Class hunter, he swiftly begins whipping his new body into shape to start a new life full of promise, while also dealing with past entanglements.

The story is interesting enough on its own merits, with elements of both action and mystery. The R-18 and harem just add extra spice to it, how I like it.

Some of the elements of mystery include the trials of the Seven Deadly Sins, which the protagonist naturally gets embroiled into, as well as him trying to uncover the reason his wife turned cold in the past, using his newfound body and abilities. They are written well and always leave you wanting for more.

Overall the story is well-executed and thoroughly entertaining, hence the 5/5 rating. <<less
