After binging for 5 days, I finally caught up. Feel said that a lot of people are unsatisfied or to the point of hating the novel. It's understandable that the acts done here are morally wrong, but no one has the right to make someone like this stuff.

Okay, starting off let's talk about the MC, Timid, wimpy, and all around depressing. They are the commonly outcast people in society due to how they present themselves. We know it's wrong to discriminate but humans tend to make first impression base on... more>> what they see. This would be the starting point for most people to not like the male MC.

For him to develop, he places himself in situations that the normal human would not be able to face calmly or rationally. Even he still backs away when those situation happen at the beginning. But as the story progresses, we see that the reason for how the way he acts are just him forcing himself to continue with life. Later on, he develops his own principles which are still lacking in my opinion.

Now, there's the plot. What made the plot interesting was that s*x was used as the medium for connections. It's understandable that it seems disgusting. But in the end, humans need there id to be satisfied or else they turn crazy.

There is the Main Story and the After story. The main story is finished till ch 589. It was done incredibly well with how you can see the characters grow and how an attachment is form between each character. The downside is that a day reaches more than 10 chapters to finish.

With the After story that is still in progress in translating, it feels considerably weak. The knew characters added lack presence and feel less human compared to before. There are events wherein original characters are further developed but makes you dislike/like them more compared to before. Since it still new, it would be best to be open for more chances for new characters and more developments to come.

4 stars is the rating that I give for it. <<less

Don't mind the low star ratings, they didn't read much yet or maybe because they got swept by their emotions, they hurried back and rate this awesome novel 1 star, without even knowing for the main reason. Holy shit, the plot here are so fkng deep. In the past I was avoiding this like a plague but when I tried to give it a shot, I got hooked quickly and read all day and night nonstop. If you want more info, check the high star ratings because I'm sure they... more>> can convince you to start reading now. Just like me. I didn't regret it. And now, I'm here to give what this novel deserves. 5 stars!!!*clapclapclap*

This is an erotic/harem novel, so there would be a gratuitous amount of s*x.

SPOILERS AND RANT BELOW:

... more>>
Spoiler

Aside from that, I strongly disagreed with how most people said: "Yukino is a bit*h because she was prideful and egotistical."

"Are you for real?" Ok. Other characters kill and we are cool with that. Other characters r*pe and they are less blamable. Yukino resisted her raping, not complying with outrageous orders, and you called her a "b*tch".

Ahem. Yukino is a typical female hailed from a prestigious background, so you should expect her to be arrogant and even spoiled. But would you consent to r*pe her for that reason?

"How about her abusing her non-blood-related sister?" Someone might say.

"Sure". That was a terrible act, which "demanded punishment" in the form of r*pe. And not just that, but also psychological torture and humiliation.

The only solid reason, in my opinion, to r*pe Yukino like a sow (not like a whore), was that it was part of a revenge cycle of her dad's misdeeds. She was the victim of the karma. Can anyone give me a solid, realistic reasons that I might have missed as to why I should shift my blame onto Yukino and not the others or her dad? I felt as if people in the comments here and at "Machine Sliced Bread" are subconsciously practicing victim-blaming here, and that just disgusted me. The comment section made me quit the story, and also the unnecessary harem.

And for your info, I can, and often read guro/vore/r*pe hentai to relieve my stress, but I did not blame the victims for being haughty in the process of being mistreated. I just cannot wrap my head around the ones that cannot sympathize with a "r*pe victim". Guess arrogant, selfish people deserve to be r*ped and humiliated on a daily basis. Social justice OP.

It's my first review in novelupdates and sorry if there is something wrong with my english because it's not my first language.

It's the first 18+ novel that have great story that i've ever read.

and that's why there I want to answer a bit the most complaint from those who give this novel 1 star.

first, for those who read this novel for the plot and only reading around 30 chapter, you're going to think the story only about garbage MC raping an innocent girl because that's only the opening of the... more>> novel, it's don't even reach the plot yet, even the personality of each character not yet shown.
Spoiler

Yukino is not innocent at all she is a b**ch believe me, and Endou is an a***ole

[collapse]

And for those who read this for the fap you will need to read around 10 or more chapter to reach the first s*x (rape) scene and each chapter is a bit long around 3000 words so you have to be patient.

second, for those who saying that the MC is idiot for not growing at all after reading around 30 chapter. I tell you, this novel is realy slow, the reason it's seems fast is because each day there's have a lot of event. Just for info, from the 1st chapter to the newest translated chapter right now (chapter 238) there only 9 days had passed in the story. If you don't believe me you can check the raw or TOC of the translation yourself. So you can think yourself why the MC is still s*upid in around chapter 30.

well maybe just that for now. <<less

Read further down for edited review.

DO NOT UNDER ANY CIRCUMSTANCES STOP READING UNTIL YOU HAVE AT LEAST GOT TO CHAPTER 35. Like most people from the first 10 chapter or so I got bored and thought it was just another weird r*pe fantasy bullsh*t you see all the time.... it is not. Yes it's based around s*x and r*pe IS a big part of the start BUT it goes so much deeper.

There is so much mystery and introspection and the characters are ALL fleshed out and real feeling. I... more>> don't get that unrealistic feeling you get when characters in novels act weirdly or s*upidly for no other purpose then to advance the plot. I just got to chapter 35 and realized um hook. Yes I might have started reading this story for the p*rn but the back story and plot is now what I'm staying for. Also the s*x description are pretty good.... it is the best p*rn with plot I've EVER read. Expect twists and turns and secrets. The MC isn't a sick and pe*verted person... he's an empty she'll of a broken person who barley understand why he does anything. This story touches on obsession and love and hate and the masks people wear to hide their true selves. If you have a low tolerance rate for sick and twisted stuff this might not be for you.

Edit.

The main charachter has ZERO soul or will of his own. And this is somehow endearing to all the women who surround him. I was interested in seeing how his f, d up relation with his r*pe victim would go or end and it seems to have ended but all the other girls who through themselves at him is just getting rediculous. To much s*x s*x for the sake of s*x. I was hoping for more actions and charachter growth but most of the story is centered around s*x. The MC is boring as sh*t compared to the women who surround him. 3 out of 5 because while my opinion of the novel is much lower now it isn't horrible. I'll finish reading eventually. <<less

Best novel I've ever read, depicts the dark aspects of life in a realistic structure.

Given this is slice of life and erotic, and some might find it disturbing or boring in the first part of the story.

The slow pace is what makes this special, the intricate depiction of the characters and life events of each and one them is brilliantly design to rouse our intrigue to read.

You will either like it or hate it there is no in-between.

How should I start this review? There are multiple aspects I want to highlight.

First, this story is not for SAd victims and weak-hearted, specially the first chapters.
Spoiler

The MC and his teacher that time are just total scums, lowest of the lowest. (Even with all the background later on trying to make me sympathize with them.

[collapse]

Second, you must turn off your brain while reading this. Many characters have almost one-dimensional thinking.
Spoiler

I get it, MC should get the harem. But come on, the girls are addicted to him just because they c*m first before him. It that even a substance for a lot of characters?

[collapse]

Third, there's a lot of mention of psychological here and there but none of it even come close to real psychology. Just don't use the term please, it's irritating as a psych major.

Fourth, there's no character development aside from MC supposedly overcoming his past and treating himself and the girls right.

Lastly, the writing style is basic (or maybe the translation). Many s*x scenes and dramatic encounters could have been enhanced by right words.

It's... fine. Honestly, this series does a lot of different things, but there are other series that do them better.

The MC is kinda boring. His personality traits are mostly described to us by other characters. The girls like him because he's... good at sex? But not even really that, it's just that he tries to make his partner c*m first. The way the other characters talk about him, you'd think he's super special in some way, but the WN fails to demonstrate it. He just has a sad backstory of... more>> being neglected by his family.

The writing is also not great. The s*x scenes are written in a very basic way and the characters tend to ramble a lot about stuff. Usually they'll ramble on about some kind of psychological fake-deep thing and then talk about how great the MC is.

The characters themselves are fine in the beginning, though imo there just are way too many of them and they end up diluting the story. Most of them end up being fairly two-dimensional. Oh, and the author seems to really have a thing for loli. The villains are even worse, as they're pretty much all the same kind of character: a blustering, rude character who DARES to defy the MC and/or his allies and doesn't know their place.

The story arcs are okay, but are kinda too drawn out for how much happens imo (the author is horrible at pacing). The author also fails to commit to certain things and it feels like they kinda write themselves into a corner.

All in all, a fairly enjoyable read, but it could be way better. <<less

I don't even need to read until the latest translated chapter that this is a masterpiece for me, truly worthy of 5* (I'm not saying that I won't be reading until the latest translated chapter though, lol)

I came for the PLOT (seggs) but stayed for the plot (actual story).

That's just how good it is.

To think that the MC here literally changed in a matter of just a day or two is already big. (Though one has to know that these took like 40+ chapters just for the two days... more>> of many incidents).

It's well-written except for the fact that the characters aren't described well so I can't imagine their appearance properly, but their character developments. That's where this is a top-notch novel.

For me, it's a well thought-out series. It started off as very dark (though yeah, it's still dark after the 1st day of the series) but came to be a bit more fluff. (Yes, despite being a harem.)

One thing to note here is like, all of the characters are broken. Broken in terms of their personalities. They all had dark pasts and secrets that opened up hatred/anger/emptiness as a person.

Seriously, I even teared up for the MCs past. I never thought that I would cry from an ero-novel of all things.

If you're planning to read this series, I highly recommend that you read so. Despite the number of chapters, it's actually necessary and only little time (in the story) has passed on those. As currently of c83, the story is at its 4th day.

Like I said earlier, it starts off very dark, involves r*pe and stuff. Even the MC was quite baffling at the start. I assure you, from chapter 30 thereon, it became much better. Not only the MC, but the other characters of the story. You won't regret reading this series.

Update: Every new character that gets introduced is well thought out as well. They have personalities that may overlap with others but their backgrounds are different. <<less

Pros

Spoiler
  1. Character Development: most characters have quite a decent character development. A lot of them are quite colorful and multi-dimensional. Even if the story is repetitive sometimes, the characters are good enough that it keeps you going.
  2. Setting: I won't say that it's realistic, but it's not completely unrealistic either. It's a vibrant unrealistic setting based on reality. Nobility, underground society, secret Qi arts, etc. Powers that can ignore laws and control a country to some degree make the story thrilling as the MC obtains them one by one.
  3. Psychology: the psychology of each character is analyzed thoroughly in a way that gets down to the root of the problem. Various traumas and ideals, you'll be able to relate to them and realize a lot of things in real life. It's a rare experience to gain life lessons from an ero novel.
  4. s*x Scenes: this novel sticks to the orthodox s*x without going too overboard nor soft. The MC always goes for cr**mpies with the feeling of making the girls pregnant. No machines/tortures involved, which I prefer. The MC loves everyone he has s*x with and treats them dearly.
[collapse]

Cons

Spoiler
  1. Main Character: quite debatable. But he's extremely passive and selfless like a robot. He won't move unless people around him tell him to. He's quite a unique character, but not that unique at the same time. I won't say much, but I can tell you that you'll be disappointed if you expect too much. He's not OP, but his women are.
  2. Slow pace: this is one of the most slow-paced novels out there; one day's worth of story goes on for dozens of chapters. 600 chapters worth of story only spans around 2 weeks of the story. Nothing much will happen in just 5 or 10 chapters as there's quite a bit of winding up before shits go down. Don't expect time-skips where the MC comes back with huge growths (although there's a minor one). Everything is extremely gradual. This can be a pro depending on your taste.
  3. Excessive trivia and history: trivia and history can be good when used well, but the author ab*ses them too much that it gets boring a lot of times. One paragraph might suffice for the purpose of the story, but the author often dumps an entire chapter worth of them.
  4. The loli's: the story didn't start off with many loli's at all, but after a certain point in the plot, loli's started flooding his harem. Most of the characters with good character development are the older ones, but after the loli's went rampant, the older ones weren't allowed much screen time. It probably would've been an easy 5 star if the author kept the loli's moderate and focused on other important things.
  5. Repetitive Problems: the plot has so many repeating problems, such as the main character holding back during s*x, him adding everyone he has s*x with to the family, and Megumi b*tching. It's not just once or twice, but the problems are repeated too many times that it quite irritates you. Each iteration ends with you thinking "thank god, this problem is solved now", but the author shoves it back in your face before you could even forget about it.
  6. Villains: all the villains in this novel are quite dumbed down and boringly comical. It makes the novel quite light-hearted, but it makes it less exciting at the same time as well.
  7. Combat: the actual combat scenes are quite lackluster. They perform uninteresting skits instead of seriously fighting. Despite being in a modern setting, guns are rarely used. Close combat somehow dominates everything.
[collapse]

This novel is definitely one-of-a-kind and I recommend reading it. If you ignore many minor flaws, it's definitely close to a masterpiece. Many people say it's dark, but it's actually overall light-hearted outside of the Minaho arc. I really hope the author comes back and finishes at least the Momoko arc.

Meandering and bloated story. Dialogue is constantly repeated with the most egregious being the harem members saying how much they love the MC every f*cking chapter. MC is a worthless doormat with no personality who is just treated as a living dildo by his harem, he has no will of his own and doesn't progress the plot in any way but just follows along doing whatever the women around him want to do. Not suitable as a MC. The harem just gets more annoying as time goes by and interesting... more>> characters like Yukino are sidelined. The s*x is disappointing after the beginning with Yukino who has some nice r*pe scenes, most of the rest is boring sh*t where they shout each others name and a few lines describing the s*x and then back to the annoying harem members talking about family and love ad nauseam <<less

It's worth reading, I don't believe anyone who read more then a few hundred chapters would disagree. Almost everything that happens in this novel has a good reason that effects the story. (And all the bad reviews came from people who quit the story early, from what I've seen.)

I read up to chapter 590. The end of the "main story." Not sure if I'll get to the rest but I felt the need to post a review here.

When folks say this is a slow paced read? They are actually exaggerating. Snail's pace might be more accurate. Though dead horse pace may be an even better description. Except for a handful of chapters? Those 589 not-short chapters cover about two weeks. Yeah, you read that right. Two. Weeks. I was waiting for the chapter devoted entirely to brushing teeth.... more>> While having s*x of course. I admit to skimming through a few chapters because they were focused on a character I wasn't interested in or included way, really way, too much social commentary slash analysis.

However, by and large, the pace actually felt okay. No matter how glacially slow it happened to be.

Also, I'm not a fan of the big harem, bang everyone, kind of stories like road to kingdom. They just seem to drag after a while. However, this story is an exception to that preference. Why? Well... Once you finally get to the chapter on Yoshida's backstory? Just... Wow...

"Hey, MC? Bang everyone you want to, as much as you want too. Seriously, if you need a wingman to help line them up? Just give me a call. Brother, you so need this more than me."

I might need therapy just from reading his backstory chapter. Yes, its that depressing. And that's in a cast that includes school girls who were kidnapped, r*ped, and forced to prostitute themselves.

In fact? I think this may be the most, justifiably, emotionally damaged cast of characters I've ever found in a story before. And for a story that, as of chapter 590, has yet to include cheating or NTR? At least any that's not in the MC's favor. That's really saying something.

I rate this story five stars because, to me, its a pretty unique read. Ridiculously slow pace and a cast of characters that should be under 24/7 psychiatric care but still managing to be interesting 99% of the time. And that's not even counting the s*x.

I highly recommend you read but keep your mental health care professional's number handy. And lots of tissues. Both for wiping the tears you will sometimes shed and, yeah, that other thing you'll be doing too. <<less

Astounding. At first, I only read the first few chapters and thought this was a novel just about s*x. I was wrong.

I am clinically depressed and this novel surprised me to no end. It grasped at the essence of depression

Although the psychology of the characters is dipped in a bout of fantasy, it is surprisingly realistic. The feeling of unconditional love is intoxicating and the feeling of being relied upon is exhilarating. Depression only appears when the character feels alone or hated. This novel captures these facts very well.

I love... more>> the s*x scenes. I became invested on each character. This is a good story. Not for everyone but it is good. On a personal note it is one of the best novels that I read. Mind you, novel. In other words, even in comparison to actual published books, it is one of the best. <<less

This novel was a big surprise for me. I hate r*pe, pointless s*x and annoyingly pe*verted mc's, so I always avoided this novel because of the description and the tags. Until I got interested in why this was ranked so high and checked the good reviews, So I gave it a try.

The first 20 chapters are god dam awful (not my preference) and I almost dropped it, but after I gave it a chance because of the reviews, it becomes the best Harem romance novel ever made, where everyone has... more>> a good back story and reasons to do what they do, a decent plot and everyone has good character growth.

Thats all im gonna write since other people already covered everything, and my battery is almost out, so all you need to know is just give this a novel a chance up to chapter 40 and see if you like it or not.

(Worst character ever, and gives me moments when I want to rate this novel a 1 star = Yukino) <<less

Great s*x scenes, really like the female protag (Yukino), I want to see her fall even lower! The other female protags are s*x crazy and dependent on the male protag, but overall a nice read.
