The World of Otome Games is Tough For Mobs Chapter v37 part4 Discussion

Is the concept good? Yes

Are there funny parts to the story? Yes.

Was it somewhat enjoyable to read? First half yes, Second half not so much.

Was the story good? Not at all.

This is just another novel where the concept was good, but the story got muddled in the process of making it to the end. Most Asian novels with good concepts have a similar issue, but they usually at least make it to "the end" before it becomes "muddled." This one however, went downhill plot-wise a little bit past the first volume.

As far as main characters go:

One. This is unfortunately a very, very, VERY clear case where the character is only as smart as the author is.

Two. For some reason the author believes that the MC should never kill anyone and never touches on the consequences of said softness i.e. having a loved one be killed by a person he spared as revenge for humiliation suffered at the hands of the MC.

"The easiest way to kill a man is by killing the man standing next to him"

- Said someone probably

Three. Honestly, there isn't much progress that could even be made for an MC like this because "Luxon" exists as you see... Luxon is literally a robot version of the philosopher stone that can turn dirt (yes dirt or any material) into gold (or whatever currency they happen to mention in the story) or precious/rare metals (for weapon advantages). The MC basically will never have to go through a real crisis because Luxon can pretty much do anything.

Overall... 3/5 simply for the concept.

Unfortunately, the other two stars died in an airship crash along with the plot.

For anyone curious for why the setting had women on top for reasons other than just because it was an otome game:

Just look up the women of Sparta as examples.

Basically,

women would get married

Husbands would go off and die from wars

The wife would receive all the property/money

The fortune would be split evenly between the children after the mom died

Rinse and repeat until the richest people were women

Did they have direct political power? Nope.

But... They did have the "donations" to move politics in whatever direction they wanted. Anything that would hurt their financial powers would be squashed.

So yea. Real world example.
