Giving it a solid 3 star. The reason as follows: It's a great novel as far as isekai novels with a slice of life tag can go. But, this particular novel has a weird problem. That is, the male protagonist (or the author) avoids the topic of s*x or mating in this case like a plague. The protagonist Yuki is unlike other beta JP protagonists we see in most novels, where they are too afraid to take the crucial step in their relationship and marry their harem members. Yuki did not wait for long and quickly married his harem members. But the problem starts from here, that is he entered a perpetual state of "Sage Mode". So far in the novel Yuki seems devoid of any carnal desire. He feels both attraction and love towards his wives, but so far he didn't show any feelings of lust for them. He doesn't have the male instinct of reproduction. Even when he is in the bath, alone with his beautiful naked wives; Yuki only has the feeling of attraction and love, no lust is present. It's the same for the female characters also. Some might say that Yuki is too innocent and pure, but we should remember that before his reincarnation he was an adult. He cannot be that much pure. In the end, there can be two possibilities: Firstly, Yuki lacks a male reproductive organ. Secondly, the author himself is purposefully avoiding the topic for some reason. Maybe he has some sort of past trauma about the particular subject? Most likely we will never know, but Yuki is certainly the Beta Demon King adept in the art of the Sage Mode.
