The Main Heroines are trying to kill me is definitively a very fresh and sufficiently unique concept which is very well executed and sticks surprisingly well to its premise, an oddity for web novels. Frey is a rather well developed character given the fact that he wants to do good as is his nature as a pure Hero but the system compels him to be perceived as evil by everyone in order to achieve his goals of saving the world. This leads to an interesting dichotomy of Frey's internal thoughts conflicting with his actions.Spoiler
There is quite a lot of character development once the Heroines start regaining their memories as they learn of the depths of suffering Frey has gone through and as they have to deal with the fact that them knowing Frey's secret weakens his life-force, strength and causes him a great deal of pain, making clearing the game even harder. The characters feel alive and are well developed though there are times where you get quite annoyed at them for their decisions.
[collapse]Overall, this is very well written novel with a translation on par with its writing and is one I would definitely recommend to read. Though it is not for the faint of heart due to many bittersweet scenes to the point where continuing to read continuously for a period of time makes you feel like a Masochist, which can't be helped given the very nature of the novel as it would not have close to as much depth without taking such a route.
