The reversed gender roles seemed promising at first, but the execution is poorly done. So far all this premise manages to do is:
- Provide an excuse to repeatedly talk about the MC's painful erection (because he has less control over his pen*s than a twelve year old and can't stop getting erections just from seeing women with breasts).
- Prevent the MC from having s*x (because he has to stay chaste or he won't be able to get married).
- Body-shame the MC (because he's too tall and muscular and almost everyone in his country finds that disgusting).
I'm being harsh above--there are some small tidbits that are interesting to think about: for example, if men really were only one tenth of the population, then naturally there wouldn't be any male monks as the population couldn't afford to lose the additional reproductive capacity to a vow of c*astity. These small thought experiments are mildly interesting but are also far and few between unfortunately.
Now on to the MC himself: he is incredibly reactive. Most of the time he gets dragged around by the royal family without any real goals other than: "I want to be a good lord for my territory!" Maybe later that changes, but I'm not holding my breath. It's worth noting that the tags above explicitly do not include romance, so don't expect the MC to make any progress with the copious women around him.
As a side note: it's annoying how often the POV changes--not because it's confusing, but because the changes are almost always an excuse to repeat the previous chapters ad nauseam.
All said, the character development done through flashbacks falls flat, the events come off as random and forced, and the work is all around mediocre and boring.
