This is a preliminary view, I might change the rating after reading further.

First of all, if you don't like r*pe or dark stories then don't read this. That much should be obvious from the title and tags.

If you're reading for fap material, well the s*x scenes are detailed enough but there's also a lot of dialogue and plot so it might not be ideal for you. Some scenes and dialogue can also be pretty cringeworthy if you're not prepared.

Next, the novel requires patience to read, because the plot is EXCRUCIATINGLY... more>> slow-paced. A week of time in the novel took more than 100 chapters, so that should give you an idea. This is also the reason I said this is a preliminary review, since 240 chapters really isn't enough to judge whether I think the novel is good or bad yet.

Spoiler

Most/all of the characters introduced so far including the main character have sone kind of dark or troubled past which leads to insecurities, and due to the MC's obliviousness to his own issues and placing everyone else's needs first, he essentially becomes a load bearing for the girls' needs (both s*xual and emotional).

[collapse]

Spoiler

Some of the girls become very annoying in their degree of reliance and clinginess to the MC. But seeing as this novel has decent character development that may change later on.

[collapse]

If those points don't bother you though then by all means read this. The story is well-written and all of the characters are given detailed backstory. The scenes are intense and make you feel like you're inside of them. Although the story is slow-paced the character development is noticeable.

Overall whether you'd enjoy this depends heavily on your tastes. Definitely not for everyone. <<less

For those trying to start the novel, they may expect something good from the massive 5 Star reviews (which I also gave), but this really is hard to start with where the first part of the novel is DARK as in stomach wrenching with no progress, at least until the 33rd chapter. (Not that dark but most readers quit within the first 33 chapters)

So my advice is to at least read until the 40th chapter and then judge the novel, whether to put down the novel or continue, or... more>> just read the part until you can read it anymore then try to read the future chapters first

In my opinion, the 30-40 chapter is the turning point of the novel where they discuss about their past and future (?), so that readers can know that they are doing those stuffs for a reason, not just some mindless actions

Spoiler

What I like about the main character is that the main character is missing pieces of his heart due to his upbringing and so the story will have MASSIVE character growth, another thing is that the main character greatly regrets doing the things he have done where it will haunt him for a good duration in the novel because he knows and accepts what he have done is wrong and doesn't run away from his past deeds

[collapse]

I started this novel thanks to Wuhugm for spreading it on many Animesuki threads so thanks for the masterpiece! <<less

A novel where you can forget that this has R-18 tag on it because of the greatness of the plot, or rather it let you enjoy both the story and ecchi scene. The characters in novel feels so surreal like the author gives them life. This maybe dark but it enlightens you on the psychological part, it looks like you're having a lesson on psychology with sex-ed. Anyway its a great read

3 stars, or "good".

The author shows amazing fundamental literary skills for a R-18 web novel. There aren't loose plot points, main characters are developed, there's a lot of foreshadowing that isn't necessarily obvious...

But the dialogue is repetitious and I've seen rocks with more personality than the MC. This is especially important because the MC is in every scene and there's a lot of talking. So much talking, and a lot of it is just lectures telling MC what to do (because in 300 chapters he basically does two things without... more>> being told to) or teaching random trivia with tenuous relevance at best. I'd swear the side characters and villains are lifted from Chinese novels too - there's arrogant young masters and rival sect leaders (businessmen) and a crowd whose only purpose is to comment during a confrontation.

And look through the tags before reading - if you hate any of them, turn around and don't look back. <<less

i really love this novel but it is really repetitive in its dialog.

ok if you came until here and don't know if you want to read it or not here is some tips:

-There is quite a few r*pe scenes in the start (and the MC is the one doing it) so if you are a woman or you really hate r*pe it's hard to pass this part, the s*x scenes will continue but r*pe will basically end around chap 100.

-the pace is slow but sooo maaannnyy thinks happen in the... more>> small time spawn that you will not be borred

-DON'T BINGE READ THIS NOVEL, the characters are passing a really bad and important time in their lives so they must keep encouraging one another A LOT so it gets a bit repetitive if you read one chapter directly after you finished the current one (around every 10 chapter they do basically the same conversation to stay mentally focused on the events that is to come)

-there is so many good points that people before me talked about so I will no comment about it, it's just good! <<less

After 300 chapters, I am finally writing a review but not really a review

You expect smut in this novel but after the first r*pe scene, what will you get are gun fights, gang wars, mafias, inheritance drama, politics, and a lot of human psycholology

Its not the greatest story there is but from all the WN and LN I have read, this novel have the greatest character development IMO. We watch as the MC raised from an empty husk into an alpha by the women around her. Even the heroines wont... more>> lose for character development too. The psychological arguments sounds convincing. But the romance part is too cheesy that it will make you cringe.

Spoilers and answer to wielderofcha's rant

Spoiler

Yukino has all the right to hate the MC since he r*ped her and all. Even if it was ordered by Minaho, he himself said that he really wants it. But that's not all the reason why people call her prideful and b*tch.

1. Her attitude for her sister is the worst I understand if it's just megumi who is her step-sister but also maika/mana who is her full blood sister. Her pride and insecurities is not a reason to bully her sister.

2. After her boyfriend lost his social standing, money and power she dumped him.

3. She hate the guy who r*ped her but she cannot accept even with video evidence because of her pride that his father is a much worst rapist, not only he r*pes underaged girls and made them prostit**es, killed a girl he r*ped, he even tried to make his illegitimate daughter to also be a prostitute and another daughter of her in an underground dungeon to be raised as a s*x s*ave.

I don't really hate Yukino, but I won't ever like her even if she turn a new leaf.

I'll make a short review.

First don't get turned off by the tags. The characters, story, and settings are actually well done. I was probably like most people. I just see the tags and say, "Not gonna read it". Don't be like me. While at first you might hate certain things at first, there will be a reason for those things to be done. Just read at least to chapter 80.

I could only get through 15 chapter before regretting it, I really couldn't go on due to how s*upid the MC is. Although I'm not expecting for a completely new personality but he should be able to grow and be slightly more mature after betrayal but still, he so blinded by love he no longer has ability to weigh the pros and cons of the situation.

Keep in mind this is a review on the first 15 chapter that I've read an it may of gotten​ better but its first impression... more>> on me is that it's just another 18+ novel that's rushed to get to the so called PLOT with s*upid a MC. <<less

This novel is amazing. Every character has it's own story and are well made. The people reviewing it say it's slow paced, but that's wrong, because even if in 149 chapters hasn't past a week the characters have grow into something completely different.

I would give it 5 stars, but the antagonists and classmates are too s*upid and the MC's s*x drive and stamina are superhuman. It makes no sense, besides that the novel is an emotion roller coaster, it will make you laugh, feel sad, disgusted, happy, so you need... more>> to be a little emotionally numb to enjoy it. <<less

The plotline is average for this kind of story, but the smut is below-average and the main characters act like s*um while praising themselves.

Smut: Isn't all that great, not very descriptive or well written. Amateur online erotica is much more satisfying.

The harem drama..

Spoiler

Guess what you get when your harem is half filled with middle schoolers.. You get middle school drama.

Worst harem I have ever seen in a web novel.

Plot:

Spoiler

I wouldn't have minded reading it, but the plot revolves around taking revenge on a father by kidnapping and raping the daughters. I can understand the motivation for that, but they have convinced themselves that the daughter is the villain because she doesn't like the MC and wants the escape.

[collapse]

I think, if the PoV changed to Yukino's point of view about how she was kidnapped by a mentally unstable prostitute ring, I may have actually enjoyed the story. <<less

The novel is okay, the story is fine as well, like many has mentioned don't stop reading until you reach chapter 30th or so. It's a so-so novel, and not really as erot*c as you'd think it would be, the translations are also quite painful, I can't tell if it's just the translations or the author too, or a bit of both- yes, it IS understandable, but lol.

I'd rate it a 2 for now, for what it is, I'd say it's better to just read a doujin, unless you really... more>> want a long degenerate story arc, which is not bad too, but yeah, as I mentioned, something that might be partially enjoyable since the R18 scenes really aren't that great, turns into something cringeworthy sometimes with how it's written.

Try it out, maybe it's for you, maybe not. <<less

Pretty cringe people, they are hmm.. But the best ero story I've ever read so far. Great surprising plots backed up by detailed reasons, great characters with personalities, reasonable smut scenes and I like the growth of the protagonist. He had reasons for his ret*rded personality (it taught me several things) but he soon became confident and yeah, even when he treated badly by others people. He was noticed by one of the most beautiful and dignified girls which is pretty damn fortunate.

For those who complain that the novel is repetitive, the author seems to do it intentionally so we don't forget what happened. (It has 1000 chapters after all) I sometimes forget what I write in my stories too so this author is really thoughtful.

Anyways, our protagonist Yoshida-kun is definitely one of the best harem mc's i've read so far. He has major development over the 1000 chapters i've read. Sure it might beslow paced and annoying at times but sometimes it's enjoyable to read and also funny.

At least this MC... more>> isn't so wimpy like most japanese manga's mc's that have modern day settings. Seriously, it's like guys from japan are so wimpy. Why would you make a novel with such a guy with no redeeming qualities?

Yoshida definitely isn't weak sauce later on. Although I would've prefered a more darker story where sometimes things don't go as the MC wanted it to.

He's like a bystander sometimes. That's all I hate about this. <<less

Honestly, this deseves a 4.1~4.4 ish out of 5 to me, buuuut I can't do it like that so a 5 stars it is (for now) xd.

I still don't have the words to describe the novel in a structured and consice way this.... experience so a abridged resume wold be...

UNEXPECTED

... more>> I think this is one of the firsts ero/ecchi/i don't fking know where this is tha I read and I did it because many reviews and comments were talking about "came for the p*rn stay for the plot" and.... fair point.

This novel deserved the 5 star ratings as the 4, 3, 2 and even 1. This is not something everyone could enjoy and it has its flaws for me but I recommended to read it if you are okay with the tags this have becuase MY GOD don't take lightly ALL the tags this novel has.

Also, I can just maybe count few people describe as "evil" or "bad people", besides what they refers themselves as. I really like that. Also that the girls so far have personalities, traits, and issues (and not being empty shells, depending of the power of the MC... I mean you could SAY it's true in some degree xDDD)

In addition, ill say bad things to balanced this out: I understand that you want your novel to have variety, but the amount and the way to release the information of the topic/theme is a BIG nono for me as the
Spoiler

fighting scenes, especially the Hotel arc

[collapse]
. I appreciate the effort to do it nonetheless xd buuuut yeah.

PD: Chapter 60 everytime I read that chapter (4 times now) I cry like a whiny baby. I am sure it's not because is the saddest thing I read. Tbh is everything that clicks with the character really.

PD2: I will rewrite this as I read all the chapters available, just wanna leave my impresion for now <<less

I've seen this before and decided to give it a read. The first part is excruciating to go through so I decided to stop. Now I've picked it up again since I got nothing else left to do.

At first it would seem that novel will be a typical ero r*pe fantasy type of bullshit. I.e. MC r*pes dream girl then gets harem out of nowhere type of jazz. Then I read some more and the plot takes a different turn and becomes a revenge story type of thing. The MC... more>> is not some h**ny r*pe-y kind of guy. The author would later reveal that the MC has issues (still a weird justification for the r*pe alongside the revenge plot going on) also his harem members has issues. And something about helping each other blah blah blah and tackling the issues and trauma hand in hand. Along with copious amounts of s*x. For all the plot it has and characterization it does, boy I sure do have some problems.

My main gripe about this is the pacing. It's f*cking slow. It feels like the author is dragging out for the purpose of content. Ch. 1-500 takes place in less than a month. The dialogues are even repetitive in some way. It all just boils down to the girls showing some sort of insecurity and the MC being a weird dipshit. Almost nothing happens aside from s*x and MC acquiring new girl. Maybe some chapters to move the plot but in between that are dialogues that are way too bloated.

I'm alright with s*x in my novels I like me some steamy r18 sh*t but this novel just takes the cake. It's not that it has s*x every chapter but it like treats s*x as some sort all cure medicine. Have depression? Go s*x. Back pain? Have s*x. Is probably dying? Go have s*x. The author just pulls out from his ass some weirdsh*t justification for the characters to have s*x. And my god the s*x scenes gets stale fast. Like really fast. Maybe a new girl will spice things up but it will feel like a copy of previous scenes. It also doesn't help it's case when the s*x is either a variant of some bizzare r*pe play or vanilla s*x. What's more annoying is when the s*x is interjected in between important plot event.
Spoiler

they literally have to fight an assassin and is definitely at the risk of dying. But instead of, you know, actually preparing, they just have s*x and then the plot proceeds.

[collapse]
not gonna lie, it gets annoying.

People say that the characters are good. They are complex and have their own motivations. I wholeheartedly agree with them, though I think they have too much character. The author would introduce some weird ass concept to flesh out the characters. The logic on these concepts are all around the place. I don't know if the author intends to make this as a dissection of psychology or an interpretation of the "underworld" but damn it gets weird at some places.
Spoiler

one notable example is the MC's 1st girl. The one he r*ped. At later chapters the author will make the effort to make the girl unlikeable. The proper harem members are also convincing the MC to abandon the girl. The girl really has no value and the MC is clearly sort of happy with the harem members but the author just pulls out excuses for the MC to not abandon her. The author dances around these logic and it gets annoying cause it feels like the author dragging out the inevitable and bulshitting his way for content.

[collapse]

They say that the MC will have some character development and will grow blah blah blah. I'm in motherf*cking chapter 500 and the MC is still the same person as in the chapters below 100. He then makes some sort of promise to himself and to the girls but it just end up being all air seeing as he's not making a conscious effort on upholding those promises. Maybe I don't know how to read or something. I really hope that it's my fault since I have high expectations for this novel. All that happened in so far is a dissection of the MC's psych, along with other characters. S*x. Girls being insecure. S*x. Plot. And more s*x. Maybe because the story is dragged out for so many chapters that nothing sort of relevant happens yet.

I hope that it picks up in later chapters. I've been skimming the novel and sometimes skipping chapters entirely. I don't care what happens, just please have something to happen. Heck, I'd even gobble it up if it becomes isekai.

I've been harping about the negative comment I have for this novel but I really need to let out frustrations before I drop this. It has some good moments but the frustrations just keep on piling up that I'm so close to hating it. Maybe I expected too much from what is basically a smut but damn I hope it really picks up. <<less

It is one of the best Ero novels I've read well until you finished the 1st Act after that It's become dull. You will notice author really likes to drag the same plot over and over again. (eg. girls' insecurity, MC being naive).

Logic in the story some do make sense while some don't. also, the author really loves to put gibberish or random info in the story to make smart characters look smart. due to time gap release a ch. I'm certain the author forgot what he had written before... more>> like Ai-chan's mom, Mana's tattoo.

Still, I highly recommend the 1st act around (500 ch) after that It's just a-okay to read even s*x scenes become dull real fast (since they're nothing besides vanilla s*x and r*pe-play). The author doesn't like kinky s*x.

Those special power like "KI" and "Tsuki Yomi" mind reader and mind control are not really fit the story. It's made the author become lazy to think How MC can overcome the situation. just use your special power Yawn... <<less

I don't normally write reviews and just consume any stories then leave it after but this one is different. I felt like I have to do this. I put off on reading this when I first saw it being translated years ago, the story was still below 30 back then so I never bothered trying to read it. Only yesterday when I was browsing NU did I notice how many chapters it has now so I gave it a try and here I am.

I haven't slept much because I was... more>> too consumed by the story when I reached those chapters (31-33). I was honestly repulsed at the first 30 chapters but I endured to read that to reach those 3 chapters which most of the readers believed as the true turning point of this novel.

The author took special care at shaping the world they lived in and each of the character's personalities. Though most of us couldn't relate to each of them, they all felt like real people except for the absurdness how easily they can accept things as it is. Yes, he carefully explained the why and how but I still feel that's not enough since after that, next or a few chapters later more info will be dropped again that will confuse me if that was really the end of it.

There are more chapters I have to go through so I'll just leave it at this for now. Hopefully at the end my review will stay as is and not get tired to see through this to the end. <<less

My first impression of this novel is it's about an MC who received help from someone then idiotically use that opportunity to "do" girls and after doing it a lot, he became good at it that he became better in dealing girls that he turned into a baddass fuccboi. But it turns out that I was wrong.

This is about a "broken" characters being together to support each other and I honestly didn't expect that.

The first few chapters can be painful to read to some as our MC's state back then... more>> is like a mad dog holding himself. Same with the r*pe part actually, at that point I thought myself "Just why the hell are they doing these horrible things!?" Well the thing is this novel is very very slow because of a lot of things that happen in short span of time together with using analogy to explain things to MC.

If you drop it while reading only 2-digit of chapters then you missed the fun. The thing is the whole personality of the characters are not shown completely in the early chapters, the character development is big for people around the MC.

Others says that the MC's only redeeming quality is being honest to a fault, and also maybe a huge stamina in s*x, so how come the characters like that guy with almost empty personality? Well, most characters (like former prostitues) here are broken so they don't need a person who can accompany them or who can give them interesting experience, what they need is someone who can accept them and someone they knew they can trust. The MC, because of his life with his family are used to living like an air, he will listen attentively to the other characters, he's afraid that they will hate him so he does his best in all things like s*x.

Enough of things about their relationship and personality. This one is a very good novel where "sex" is not only it's selling point. The character is still developing even after finishing the main arc which is over 500 chapters.

After that is the sequel series the characters are still broken and still having a development. And the sequel arc is damn good. Since the MC is being occupied in taking care of his family, and s*x became duty rather than a moment of pleasure, they need someone whom can MC have s*x without taking care of everything, a woman whom he will not afraid to hate him. So yeah, things like hypnosis (using qi), getting some sexfriend in their school, and dominating the 3 big noble family of Japan are involved here, so who wouldn't want to read this? Also the Yukino in this arc is damn the best.

I can't give this a 5 because of the way the author used analogy as an example to explain things that makes the conversations always derail a bit, that the writing became longer.

UPDATE: As of now it's hard to read this. The plot just became repetitive. It's to the point that it's annoying now. Especially how the girls became smart and spout trivias or their life experience and lessons, after he conquered them. It's still worth reading, only if you ignore those dialogue though. And I will still recommend this since the previous chapters are just good. <<less

There are already good reviews around. So just gonna highlight some points:

    • Adult content: 5/5 rating. As already said: there is no repetition, each and every s*x scene has its own uniqueness.
    • Characters: 4/5 rating. As already said: the harem characters are all well developed each with its own uniqueness. Only the MC is dull, he is more like a s*x s*ave for his harem.
    • Story: 3/5 rating. The development overall would be 4/5, not that it gives big expectations for what would happen next, nor gives hard feels for the story itself. But what's the problem on this? It turns out that author creates some long ULTRA cringe worthy conversations, that are so hard to read due to its cringeness. They just hug each other and say "I love you" like 50 times per chapter for 3 chapters in a row. It is really hard to read those conversations! Also it takes 10-50 chapters to complete an ark, that would could be easily reduced to 2-5 chapters (I know the importance of dialogues and stuff for character development), but it is hard to read 50 chapters of cringe to conclude 6 hours (of a day) of a plot.
Compared to other Adult content novels, it is praiseworthy to have an actual good plot for more than 1400 chapters, but I dont agree that the plot is really that good of a reading (and all its cringe). Its an average plot compared to other novels, but compared to adult novels I could say it one of the best out there.
