This isnt yuri!As someone who don't read yuri/yaoi I was a bit hesitant on reading this novel, but I saw the tag and theres no Yuri tag so I gave it a try and oh boy im glad I did.Lets start with the world, this is important because despite the main story not being yuri this is still a Yuri game world, and by that I mean you have to abandon common sense and logic because this world don't operate on those. This world sole purpose was build for yuri, so im talking girl x girl is common, men are literal low class human, men being literal background character like their face don't even render!, and girls can get pregnant by other girls just by kissing (cuz magiccc). Yeah it doesnt make sense.However, I think whats make this novel shine is the Main Character, Hiro (after transmigration), see he is obsessed with Yuri and he wants to play matchmaking between girls, he sees himself as tr*sh that should just be a stepping stone for Yuri, and so while trying to survive this game world he always makes plan to make sure yuri prosper and everyone hates him...... Which always backfired and he ends up making a harem (though he tried his best to deny it). But most important of all.... he is hilarious!If im to make a comparison, Hiro is alike Akira from baka test or Zenitsu from demon slayer. Both are s*upid, obnoxious, loud, and obsess with what they like (akira likes ecchi stuff, zenitsu want to find a wife, and hiro likes yuri). But, just like them when something threatens the people they care about they immediately throw themselves to the fray, in this case this is how the heroine fell in love with Hiro. Though, what differentiate Hiro from Akira and Zenitsu is, despite acting s*upid most of the time (in a hilarious sense) he is actually smart. He is able to strategize and can be very manipulative, often using his 'idiotic act' to fool his opponent. Like seriously, im a bit shock by the level of deduction and subtle word manipulation Hiro was able to do.But the 'yuri' game world might be a bit too much for some, and it was for me for a while. So originally I was about to give this novel a 4 stars. However, after a certain arc say when the MC meet his... ugh.. 'other half' you could say the quality skyrocketed, I think by this point the Author kinda gets the formula and the vibe.More importantly the humor here are great, every time I read the MC self loathing and denial or scream in anguish cause his yuri planned failed miserably it always reminds me of the skits from baka test to.Also, I find myself liking almost all the characters here especially the heroines and Hiro close allies, they all have their own quirks and running gag with Hiro so its always refreshing and funny to see them interacting hahaha.
