My Thoughts on Because I Reincarnated as a Succubus, I’ll Squeeze Out Milk

"Because I Reincarnated as a Succubus, I’ll Squeeze Out Milk" is certainly a title that grabs your attention, and the story largely delivers on the quirky premise. As someone who enjoys gender bender stories with a comedic edge, I found myself intrigued, and overall, I wasn't disappointed. However, it’s not without its flaws.

First Impressions

The initial chapters are...an experience. The humor is definitely in-your-face, and the story leans heavily into the ecchi genre right from the start. The premise is that our protagonist, after a mishap, is reincarnated as a succubus. To survive, she needs to find an alternative to draining men's life force, which leads to the rather unique solution involving a certain OP cow. It's a wild ride, and whether you enjoy it or not will largely depend on your tolerance for crude humor and over-the-top situations.

What Works Well

The core strength of this novel is its comedic timing and the sheer absurdity of the situation. The protagonist's internal struggles with being a succubus, coupled with her naivete and dense personality, create plenty of opportunities for laughs. I found myself chuckling at the misunderstandings and the awkward situations she constantly finds herself in. The author does a good job of exploring the protagonist's discomfort and eventual adaptation to her new life, which adds a layer of depth to what could easily be a purely superficial story. I also appreciated the lighthearted tone and the fact that it doesn't take itself too seriously. The characters, while exaggerated for comedic effect, are surprisingly endearing.

Areas of Concern

The humor, while enjoyable for some, can be a bit much at times. I can see how the constant barrage of dirty jokes and suggestive situations might become tiresome for some readers. The slow pacing of the story might also be a turn-off for those looking for a more action-packed narrative. I noticed that the MC's naivete, while contributing to the comedy, can also be frustrating at times. Some readers might find her too trusting and slow to learn from her mistakes.

Final Verdict

"Because I Reincarnated as a Succubus, I’ll Squeeze Out Milk" is a fun and quirky gender bender story that's perfect for readers who enjoy lighthearted comedy and ecchi elements. While the humor might not be for everyone, and the pacing can be slow at times, the unique premise and endearing characters make it an enjoyable read overall. If you're looking for a story that doesn't take itself too seriously and is full of silly misunderstandings, then this might be right up your alley. I'd give it a solid 3.5 out of 5 stars.
