Luc Hugaro Deskustos is a villainous noble in a romance strategy simulation game for adults.
Although he has a talent for magic, he lets it go to waste. He’s slothful and always gorges himself with food and ends up growing as an ‘ugly fat toad’.
Reincarnated as him, our main character follows his slothful ways, except he doesn’t want to grow as an ‘ugly fat toad’. He seeks to become a handsome man while still spending his days in comfort and happiness.
Watch as he takes the villainous route while carving out a future for his ideal sloth life.



Let's focus on Luc. The plot relies heavily on the cliché that the主角's imagination makes them magically skilled; however, there's no explanation for his extraordinary abilities. Also, Luc's physical appearance is constantly highlighted, yet unexplained beauty enhancements are conveniently glossed over. The story frequently mentions his magical power that allows him to control others to do his exercises and combat training, which feels implausible.
Luc is portrayed as kind and charitable, but these traits are often exaggerated. His supposed selflessness amounts to simply donating money and accompanying his fiancée to orphanages, which is a lazy approach. The reactions people have to his actions are disproportionate.
The way Luc obtained his fiancée is particularly unconvincing – he noticed she could cook and decided it was useful,求婚于此. This lack of depth in character development is disappointing.
The issue lies not only with Luc but also with the other characters who blindly idolize him. They're so infatuated with his looks and perceived benevolence that it becomes off-putting. For instance, some people praise him to the point of obsession, while others are grateful for minor contributions like a visit to an orphanage.
The女主角's admiration for Luc based on his strength feels forced, especially when there's no real earning or growth shown. The supporting characters, including the heroines, are unlikable and seem one-dimensional, with the original heroine from the original story being a stark contrast.
Some specific points worth mentioning:
- Luc's seemingly effortless creation of a powerful magical creature remains unexplained.
- One of the heroines, a magician's daughter, is unnecessarily hostile towards the original MC because he's seen as an enemy of Luc. This illogical behavior does little to advance the story.
- The act of helping an orphanage is reduced to a shallow reason for marriage proposals, making it seem manipulative and superficial.
Lastly, the idea of classmates openly discussing their desire to marry Luc solely based on superficial criteria is cringe-worthy, with the exception of the merchant girl, who at least admits her intentions honestly.
In summary, while the story might have some redeeming qualities, the excessive adoration of the protagonist, lack of explanation for his abilities, and shallow character interactions make it an uncomfortable read.
1. The MC engages well with characters beyond the original plot, showcasing genuine relationships without feeling forced. Despite being portrayed as "extremely handsome" (with an androgynous appearance), the two women he loves demonstrate their affection based on his true character, which helps avoid a generic harem scenario. Currently, he has two fiancées, along with a servant who cares for him. He doesn't prioritize the original heroines, with only one being the daughter of a friend (who is adorable).
2. The MC possesses strength, but it's not driven by a need to compete; rather, he focuses on becoming the best.
3. He remains unbothered by the original storyline and isn't interested in getting entangled. However, this doesn't make him passive; when provoked, he stands his ground firmly. In a confrontation with a rival, the protagonist tries to challenge him, but the MC mercilessly dominates the fight. Even the protagonist's friend defending him doesn't sway the MC's determination.
In summary, the MC is assertive and unyielding when it comes to protecting himself and those he cares about, ensuring no one messes with him.
"Edit: This one has really annoyed me. It's been 30 chapters since my last review, and honestly, I've decided to drop the series. The story went from promising to excessive praise for the main character. If you give it a read, you'll see exactly what I mean. Downgrading to 2 stars, and I won't be revisiting it."
Rewritten:
"After reviewing around chapter 7, I had high hopes that it might turn out well. Unfortunately, those expectations were not met. The series has become increasingly frustrating, as the protagonist has been overly idealized over the past 30 chapters. Reading it yourself would clarify my concerns. I'm giving it a 2-star rating and won't be reading any further."
