This is simply not good or even decent.It does not work as a revenge fantasy or plotline, because the MC hardly gives a crap about what happened to the original owner of the body.The start is a common plot element. MC starts from a position of absolute weakness, just here it is as the protagonist of an NTR game. The Isekai character is then given every cheat or plot armor that are common. He knows the world from playing the game, and it's sequel, as well as being a massively OP character because he was already isekaied once into another world and succeeded as an overpowered hero.His powers are never truly explained and can essentially be called as plot demands. Only a sword master can learn it, well he is one. Only that specific skill would allow that, well he has it. No tension, of any kind, could ever exist.Adding to that lackluster elements comes that MC is an unlikable scumbag that essentially stepped into the role of the "evil scumbag" in an NTR plot. At the start, during his hunt for gaining the McGaffin to step out of his role as NTR Protagonist, he has some moments that make him appear likeable, but after he gets his "megachad" dick... there is nothing there.If an act of selfless kindness by a kid has to inspire a massively overpowered main character to step up and save people, that character is human garbage.He openly cheats on his girlfriend left and right, blackmails, tortures, mu*ders and mutilates people without a second thought. Shirks duties and responsibilities, but has no problem forcing them on others. He treats the heroines and FL like trophies to collect from a game, instead of persons. It does not feel like he has any feelings for them, none at all. It is exemplified when one asks what would have happened when she would have met him first, he just says then she would be his girlfriend instead. No feelings or attachment at all, they are just toys to him that he does not want to share.The three original heroines that "betrayed" the Original owner of the body are portrayed as sympathetic and you actually hope that things turn better for them. Well, they don't. In a classic example of victim blaming on the lowest level, after suffering horrible for their choice on a physical and emotional level, they just get hammered more. If that is the goal, why make them sympathetic in the first place? Let them be the pink woman that the MC so hated. (Btw, I honestly hoped this prejudiced view would have gotten him into problems just once! Imoen is best girl, a**hole!) By far the best parts of the story are the search for power-ups and the cure for the MC's small wiener problem. There is karmic justice, interesting side-plots and some humanizing moments for the MC, which get all thrown out the window when he gets his cure. Afterwards, it goes downhill as fast as possible.
