After spending over 1000 hours playing Eternal Phantasm Requiem, Fujimoto Haruto knew everything about the game. He knew Alicia von Edelweiss, the heroine. He knew the monsters. He knew the plot. And he was perfectly content being her best friend, her sidekick, and one of her party members. He wasn’t the hero, and he didn’t want to be. Alicia was the one out there saving the world while Haruto stayed in the background, helping with minor tasks and occasional support. It was a sweet deal.
Then, Haruto got Isekai’d into the game world.
And now? He’s still the same useless sidekick with zero heroic ability, but with one new absurd skill—he somehow keeps triggering romance flags with every villainess he meets. These villainesses are all nuts, by the way. Some want him dead, some want him married, and some want both at the same time. Meanwhile, Alicia is out there, saving the world, looking perfect, while Haruto is dodging poisoned love letters and trying to survive romantic death traps.
And that’s when it hit me.
I wasn’t just the sidekick anymore. I was the sidekick who somehow got romanced by every villainess in the game. Why? I don’t know. What was supposed to be a quiet, background role has turned into a nonstop disaster. Alicia, the actual heroine, is off doing all the heavy lifting, saving the world, while I’m left with a harem of murderous women who think I am their “true love.”
How do I survive this? How do I deal with a life where my only job seems to be dodging love potions and poison daggers? Can Haruto escape the villainess crossfire without accidentally marrying one of them to his doom? Or will he be the first-ever sidekick to get romanced into oblivion?

Action packed fights, intense training scenes, and interesting cultivation methods, are all things you won't find in this story. The translation itself is a slog to read through, partially due to the overly flowery language and content of the source material. So far 47 ch in, there has been many more pgs dedicated to poetry that doesn't translate well, or at least hasn't been, than pgs of fighting, cultivating, and learning combined. I feel like author is trying to show off how cultured he is. The fights are very bland as far as I can interpret from the confusing translation. Mc suddenly get good at techniques without any on screen training or exploration of the technique itself. This does have some potential, Mc is interestingat least, but potential was squandered by poor translating and writing.0 0 Reply

The world background is poor. I wish the author would give more details regarding the era. There is no backstory nothing.***********************0 0 Reply

When I first read the synopsis and the so-called 'Doever Writing Quality Guarantee', I was taken aback. This author has quite the confidence, borderline arrogance, to publicly state such a thing, and in a synopsis no less! But as I read this novel, and got immersed in it, I realized that such confidence was not unsubstantiated. The grammar, vocabulary, lack of plot holes, and great immersive storytelling made me slowly fall in love. I see most of the novels on this platform as fast food. Most are just cheap and quickly made, just to scratch the itch of the reader and nothing more. This novel is like Five Guys. This is some gourmet burger stuff. I think about it even in my sleep. Like the Author's review says, the system element in this novel fits perfectly in the story's settings. Everything so far makes sense. All the potential questions I've had were answered, and I leave every chapter feeling happy and fulfilled. Every chapter fills me with wondrous world-building and I am oftentimes awed by how big the world is and I am often excited by the prospect of our scary alien friend assimilating it all into the Collective. The chapters are also nice and long. Like Lord of the Mysteries long. It's a huge treat compared to the average novel where they just give the minimum amount of words necessary to make Webnovel and the algorithm happy.My only worry is that this author has another large novel that he's working on. It's currently on hold for this novel because he wants to win the competition. Because of the high word count and the effort that goes into maintaining such a quality of work, I am often scared by the idea that the frequency of chapters will fall. Especially when he inevitably resumes working on his other novel.In conclusion, TL;DR, read this novel, cherish it, and treat it like you would treat your cute 2D anime waifu. With love. I love this novel almost as much as I love her.... almost.0 0 Reply
