A very unique twist on those "I've transmigrated into the f*cking damn villain" genres.

Particularly on the fact that Harold ends up being 'in character' as a result of his unfortunate circumstances regarding his voice. Hilarious because this gives off so much misunderstandings, and in a good way. People recognize his good intent, but then they start to over analyze why he's so arrogant on it.

It's a small change but the effect is really noticeable, I can't stop laughing because of the comedic miscommunication and it drifts away from the usual... more>> "holy sh*t this shitty boy is being nice??" reactions from the supporting cast. <<less

Although it is said that Harold (MC) will help Ryner (protagonist of the game) you can think that he will admit defeat and things like that in front of Ryner for Ryner to be above him and so, like a true protagonist who will save the world. But he didn't, Harold is way stronger than Ryner and he doesn't want to be defeated but he cannot break the protagonist so he creates "inspiring situations" to motivate Ryner to be stronger. He still defeats Ryner easily.

He (Harold) is very smart, everyone... more>> has a big headache dealing with him and trying to avoid his schemes

I'm confused about why Harold himself can't face the "Main antagonist" of the story since he is way stronger than Ryner and has a lot of ways to be even stronger, plus the fact that he is very smart and he can use the game's knowledge to defeat his enemies.

The Female Lead is cute, Erika was suppossed to be one of Ryner's harem members (his party) and Harold knews that so he avoids her by all means and is very cold towards her, he truly crushes every "favoring points" possible and does whathever he can to draw hate. But some things happened plus misunderstandings and now she loves him the most and her "moves" are slow since she know Harold's personality. <<less

The story feels forced. The MC is changing history itself, but because he's alone, it doesn't feel real and he is afraid of changing it too much that the final boss would change course. The character is supposed to die at the end, but at present he has gained enough sympathy to not be killed. This novel is good, but I can't help feeling that the ending would be a mess.

Great plot, Good Read, Awesome MC.. But somewhat dull side characters.

I really like the premise and execution of the story although I find some stuff overly exaggerated. But story is just nice that it negate those negativeness.

Anyway on a More serious note though. This story could really use a nicer heroine. Heroine1 really doesn't deserve the MC, cause the current heroine for me was nothing but a natural story burden and a hindrance and cause of unnecessary suffering for the MC. Sorry for the heroine1 fans here. But I could... more>> only see that girl nothing but a hypocrite who harbor false affection given birth by guilt and misunderstanding about the MC. Seriously, every single time I read this girls POV, the only thing I could see was nothing but his desire for atonement and Selfish guilt towards the MC and it specially irritates me when he look at the MC with pity and sympathy despite not really having a clue to what the MC is currently being been through I dunno about others but what heroine1 is experiencing Could be anything but love and affection. (Could you have imaginge if heroine1 never learned about the MCs true self. I bet he was already scorning the MC while condeming him over nothing) If author could just make a sub for this heroine with a girl who could love the MC for who he was and what he does.. Loving his past and future unconditionally. Then this novel could have been a top notch novel. <<less

Great characters development, Checked! Great story building, Checked! The most awesome way to get misunderstood by any side characters, checked!

Overall the story grab my attention for every chapter I read. There isn't one chapter I feel like skipping as they keep me on my toes making me rereading every chapters and loving it even more than before. I can't wait for the next chapter update!~~~ :D

The first 20 or so chapters were pretty interesting, then it proceeds to the combat arc. All the previously smart tactics and plots are mostly gone. Authors gone to the combat type of story which is very boring and typical. I lose interest very fast around chapter 30+.

Storytelling and/or translations are lacking. It is confusing sometimes (don't know who's talking to whom, fcking replies in brackets...) and a bit long winded, well that's expected of a JP novel. The idea is great but you don't get to really hear that unstoppable foul mouth - just saying bastards over and over doesn't cut it. Also if this is a western style novel, author should reaaaally stop with the sama, san, kun...

There is a reason for overwhelmingly positive score.

It is just too good.

Unlike many reincarnated into a game novels, this one has no apparent game mechanism. Rather, there is barely any game element in the novel except that the MC knows the original setting and route of the game and instead of avoiding or vastly changing the route, he tried to keep the event as close to the game story line as much as possible.

Quite good, I must say...

The MC became a foul-mouthed villain of his favorite game. He looks for ways in order to avoid Death flags and tries to go to the main route of the story without altering the plot of the game and looks for routes where he doesn’t die. The series is full of misunderstandings because of the body he is possesing. (I call it the “Auto Bastard Translating mouth” LOL)

The development is good. The characters are quite likeable...

As someone who's been following this novel for so long (even more surprise that it still updates - huge thanks to defiring-praises akatsuki too), its been damn well 7 years at least, makes me so happy, its really good, although there are quite a few time skips and veritably angst, Still am rooting like hell for Erica.

Story is well done and the author has stood by to continue the story specially when it comes to developing their characters depth as a person.

Tsundere even though he's not (that devilish mouth has... more>> its way lol) Harold got he's work cut out for him and those that notices his acts even though he has all the death flags, and all he can do is survive, he still chooses to reach out for the others...

Can't continue with this review, I highly recommend it or at least give it a try. its an old gem that shine brilliantly. <<less

Pretty standard Isekai story here, a strong shounen title, and very cringey at times. It's written well for the most part, and the beginning will likely suck you in regardless of your experiences with hero stories, but the honeymoon ends fast. For all the troupes the novel avoids, it adds them back in the form of setting and plot conveniences. Training is done off-screen, everyone is drawn to the protagonist like the world revolves around him, and the drama becomes a focal point, of which it can be very eye... more>> rolling at times. I suppose that's what you can come to expect for people experienced in stories aimed at younger folk. Read this is you're still green on isekai hero stories. Skip otherwise. <<less

I read quite a long ways into this before I stopped, but that was a while ago. So I will forego giving my usual long review. I'm just going to present my single biggest issue with this work from what I remember, which causes me to rate it lower than I would otherwise: the sheer number of pages wasted on other characters monologuing their thoughts about Harold, and their general hyper focus on him. Yes, I know he is the protagonist, but it's just so extreme that it gets eyerollish... more>> sometimes.

A large portion of this work (as I remember it) is the various ways in which other people come to understand that Harold is not a bad guy, but just misunderstood. They see it through usually circumstantial evidence that he doesn't mean to present to them, which basically overturns their expectations 180 degrees, and turns most of them from being haters into fervent (secret) lovers of him. This trend is repeated. A lot. It sometimes takes up much of this work. The person that sees Harold will sit there and suddenly break out into a full-scale monologue and/or soliloquy that could take up a short story, comprising their sudden thoughts of Harold and how they will follow him through thick and thin while not trying to ruin his cringy antihero vibes, because *insert some plausible reason they can't openly support him here*. And some of them do it many, many times. Especially Erika.

It got old to me. Very old. Simple as that. End review. <<less

Definitely needs to get some more attention for Isekai in a game would adventure and drama light novel series.

This story so far still have a potential to become some easygoing fantasy, adventure, and drama series for me.

Currently by the time this reviews was made it's still on hiatus and don't know when will this be continued again because of the slow update.

I rated it at 3, but my real score is 2.5 (since this site doesn't allow that). I'll leave it at that because others might enjoy this, and I did, too, until I didn't.

TL;DR: Excessive use of misunderstandings. Zero communication. Romance development is not believable.

The main premise is that the protagonist transmigrates to an RPG world where he takes the role of a villain—pretty standard setting. I commend the author for trying to do away with all the typical clichés, but unfortunately, he failed at many other things. My first... more>> annoyance with this novel was that the MC is unable to communicate because his "mouth" says whatever it wants. In short, it translates what he wants to say in the way the body's original owner would talk. I could let this slide because it was funny, but it becomes a major problem later on. The main reason is that the MC is unable to create real bonds with anyone for obvious reasons since his mouth would say everything in a cruel way and insult everyone.

Despite that, the author decided that some characters will misunderstand what he's trying to do or say and make it so that, in a roundabout way, they understand that his intentions are not bad. You might think this is clever, but it gets annoying pretty quickly. Many times, you will see characters misunderstanding MC and start a monologue as if it was obvious what MC is trying to do, whereas MC has no idea what they're talking about. And this is not the only use of misunderstandings in the novel. To top it all, there's a major plot point with a major character that gets "resolved" without the MC ever knowing it did. So, someone who should hate him doesn't and he, understandably, believes they do hate him. You can guess how many more misunderstandings will arise from that plot point alone.

Again, despite the huge lack of communication I just pointed out, MC still somehow makes progress with his relationships where not one of the parties actually knows what the other is thinking. I talked a lot about his relationships because a lot of it is about that and the MC trying to survive. <<less

meh at best, there are too many strange points on the character action, and the relationship and personal growth of the protagonist is going nowhere.

Transmigration into villain character in a Game World + avoiding the countless death flags

this setting is interesting, yeah it's template nowadays but still great nevertheless

BUT!!! only the potential that great, this novel have a flaw...

... more>> Big minus number one! - MC didn't have Free will!

nowadays MC that role-playing or create fake persona is not rare (like [Overlord] or [Isekai Maou to Shoukan Shoujo Dorei Majutsu])

this one acceptable when they enacting Comedy or Cool scenes, and I found that quirk interesting, but... for this novel it's not at the level of acting anymore.

his Mouth is uncontrollable! always spite thing that makes his surrounding hostile against him.

in other novel MC may acting different from their true self, but at least they can somehow salvage the situation before it's become absolute bad.

BUT THIS one... NAY! he can't control what he will say! in many situation... he is the one that at fault! because of his mouth!

if it's just once or twice... we can tolerate it... but! if it's E. VE. RY. SING. LE TI. ME. thats..... (；一_一)

"My Death Flags Show No Sign of Ending" yeah right...

you're the one that plant that freaking death flags!!!! (ノಠ益ಠ) ノ彡┻━┻

Big minus number two! - Tsun x TSUN! Σ (゜д゜;) oO (THE HECK IS THAT!!!)

If it's Tsundere X Tsundere, maybe we can still enjoy the "sweetness" from dere part, BUT THIS one... NAY!

all that they show is tsun, tsun and more tsun! (ノಠ益ಠ) ノ彡┻━┻

all of their encounter is tsun x tsun! theres no way we can enjoy the sweetness of romance from that. they only ever show their 'dere' side in front of other people, not in front of their counterpart!

at first, it's kinda cool that he keep his distance to protect the heroine... but he always do that no matter the situation, without eventually open up, or at least waver or struggle in that direction... that kinda.... well I love their innocent relationship... but there a limit to how long that can keep going...

Spoiler

that's how things go till c.66 (?) or only in that chapter thats there any resemblance of "dere (?) " in their moment with one another T.T

[collapse]

Minus number three! - fail at thickening the plot

many novel only interesting at first phase, but turn cold when they develop further. sadly this novel is one of them (for me)

at first, the beginning (childhood arc) is really interesting. for that part I'm wiiling to give it a 4... or maybe 5 star.

but after the knight arc (or the the knight arc closure to be exact) this novel is spiraling donwhill. yeah they begin to touch the core of game story. and probably want to thickening the plot.

but I really can't accept that result.

Spoiler

sure, for plot armor maybe they can't change the verdict, but at least they can change or sway the public opinion. or at least knights order opinion.

for god's sake he's one of a noble, more ever his in-law was one among the noble houses who had helped in the founding of the country, and from their organization, plus their ties to the kingdom was deep. how come they didn't have power or resource to combat that situation

[collapse]

i really can't fathom how they let the situations deteriorated that much (yeah~ yeah~ "the enemy is too OP~ so they can't do anything". or so that's what the plot wants -_-),

to continuously bring infamy to himself, maybe theres reader that may enjoy that kind of "growth (strugel) " but for me... thats hard to swallow.. so for me... so far the story turn cold.

thats 3 major flaw that takes my enthusiasm [-_-]

and as if thats not enough, later because of flaw no.1

Spoiler

he fight against hero party

[collapse]

if he can say what he want to say. that will not happen (~_~)... that's it... Drop it.

what a pity... even though this novel really have great potential... <<less

Well I guess I have to leave my feelings somewhere, as someone who read the novel since the beginning and was happy that finally got adapted to manga I have to say........ this novel needs to end, I loved watching harold struggle and how people at some point came to understand him, but now...... is tiring it's seriously tiring watching everything repeat itself.

And when harold faces a difficult scenario, at first there was suspense and it made me ask myself if he was going to survive said predicament, but now?

Is... more>> s*upid to ask if he's going to survive now..... yes he will (he's literally the best of the best)

Spoiler

[collapse]

And now I find harold kind of annoying 😅 (forgive me)

I seriously liked him

Now the only thing I ask to myself is is harold "survives" everything that's left what is the end after everything? Will he marry? Someone will stay whit him? Will he kill himself?

That's the only thing that keeps me reading this sadly....... it seriously got.... kind of boring.

:/ <<less

Very good novel, great story buildup and execution, although it starts getting really confusing after Volume 3 of the novel, as there was a 5 year time skip, right after a big suspenseful buildup at the end of Vol 2, and due to the time skip, a lot of things get really confusing later on, as Harold skips from 13 years old, to 18. Plus the fact that later on in the story it was said that Harold would die by the age of 20, it makes me wonder how... more>> the age progression would work, can't wait for the next chapter!

<<less

This is one of my favorite novel of all time simply because how interesting the novel, I've been reading this novel for more than 2 years but it doesnt even bored me, the only thing that I disliked is because they rarely updates this novel despite how long this novel been going on, hopefully it will never be dropped till the time this novel reach the ending!!

not the typical review about the novel, but just me expressing my appreciation

The story starts out alright, with the MC building friends allies with prior knowledge of things, solving this with knowledge of the game etc. Then it seems like the author creates conflict just for the sake of creating conflict, with the mc's course of actions seemingly whatever brings the most pain/problem to himself and his own ally. I get that the author wants to avoid going down the 'MC gets op and there's actually no stake anymore' trope, but at this point it's literally just creating conflict for the sake... more>> of creating conflict and dumbing down the MC and other characters to unbelievable level. You know, those cliched artificial conflict in stories could be easily solved in characters could communicate for 10 minutes like normal human beings. <<less
