I read a lot of this series, hoping it would get better over time. Spoiler: It doesn't.MC's personality can be defined as a "genki guy, " hard-working, average intelligence, extraverted, typical Japanese man. His physical appearance (going by other's standards in the novel) is top-notch. He's tall, good-looking, ripped, and for good measure they made him well-endowed to boot (which they bring up more times than needed). And in a world where men are scarce and don't exhibit particularly charming personalities, this protagonist is the equivalent of a pro e-sports player going into a lobby full of newbs.At first, you'd think "this is fun, in a power-fantasy kind-of-way." But it gets boring over time as the story never develops past this aesthetic. The main character might not be a genius, but he is still the 'Gary Stew' archetype, and literally never shows flaws. Couple this with the lack of interesting character interactions and it becomes mind-numbing. I'm not saying there aren't any side characters, but they're just not very appealing. One of them was a "trap" whom we assume would fall for the protagonist, and maybe he did? IDK. But one thing is for certain, the author wants to nip the idea of romance with them in the bud for fear of alienating the readers.As for the heroines, they are all part of a web forum (think 4chan) and have been actively stalking the protagonist for about as long as he's been in this world. The idea itself was novel in the beginning, truly, but it outstays its welcome pretty quickly. Chapters of the story go like this: Protagonist does thing, people in friend group help, big reaction online (4chan), maybe show a snippet with one of the heroines, repeat. If you couldn't tell, this formula denies screentime for heroines and instead substitutes it with web forum shenanigans. This is the reason why I dropped this series. I am SO sick and tired of the same things being said ad nauseam.Okay, but what of the "plot"? Is it any good? Honestly, it's passable for one or two chapters, then it just drops off a cliff. You have the God-of-Playboys in a world with women starving for Se. Gs. And yet the protagonist just throws them all into the abyss because he wants to be faithful to some random God-given-human-form of a woman. It literally doesn't make sense how perfect this person is, or why she's even relevant to the story. It got to the point that I started detesting the protagonist because of her relationship with him, he's denying the world he is living in. I'm sure the author is planning to loophole-logic the protagonist into accepting the harem life, but to me it's just a way of making sure the protagonist gets to keep his cake and eat it too (morally speaking).Recently, I picked up a manga by the name of "A Parallel World With A 1:39 Male To Female Ratio Is Unexpectedly Normal" and this is exactly where this story should have been heading in. Unfortunately, it doesn't. This story made me waste a few hours of my life, hoping I'd see another R-18 scene with my fave girl: the military woman, but when she finally got re-introduced into the story, NOPE, CAN'T DO THAT, GOTTA BE MONOGAMOUS. I literally can't express how angry this made me, and for that, I hope no one else falls for this series' lies. Find something else to read, you won't regret it.TL;DR: It's garbage pretending it isn't. The tags/title are all just a bait-and-switch for annoying BS. 1/5.
