It's a pretty interesting take on the "reincarnated into a game world" trope.When the MC met the goddess in charge, she told him he would be reincarnated into a character of a certain game (a dark, hardcore game, apparently, where every choice might lead to someone's death). He never played the game but knew about this one character because he was voted as "the best character" of this very popular game (only because people were trolling). Consequently, he mistakenly thinks that the character is the hero of the story while he's actually a cannon fodder third-rate villain. The bored goddess finds it very funny and let him believe he's the hero.The mistaken Fey (the MC) then starts his life in this new world with a very clear idea of what character he wants to play: a dark, lonesome, stone-faced hero. Because of that there's a great disparity between his behavior and his actual thoughts, which is often funny.Furthermore, not knowing the plot but knowing it's a game world, he constantly (wrongly) interprets what's happening around him based on his general knowledge of game plots, on the premise that he is the hero of this world and that it's a shounen-like world (so he thinks he can't die ^^'). He misunderstands the actual hero as a third-rate villain or a sidekick, the main heroine as his rival, etc. And everything his teacher (who is in love with him) does is interpreted by him as being some kind of special way of teaching him some profound theory about fighting...Sometimes the pace is not that great, the plot-armor is strong (but mostly funny), but I generally find the contrast between the original very dark plotline of the game and the absurd comedy it turns into after Fey gets involved quite enjoyable most of the time.It's not really a serious story and the MC is basically "playing a character", which means he has little to no attachment to the people around him (because they are just game characters in his mind), still, because he thinks of himself as an absolute shounen hero, he won't let anyone die or anything like that, so he's still likeable.I quite enjoy it.
