Description
“I heard that as an incubus, I can enter people’s dreams and see what troubles they have.” In this world, Succubus are typically only born as females. This is a fact of nature, common sense, and even history shows no exceptions. However, one day, a male incubus was born among them. Rather than just going along with the flow as an incubus, he thought about helping people. This is the story of a boy who decided to use his full power as an incubus to give life advice in dreams, without resorting to anything too erotic.

My Thoughts on I Became an Incubus, So I’ll Dive into Dreams and Give Life Advice However I Want!
This web novel definitely took me for a ride. "I Became an Incubus, So I’ll Dive into Dreams and Give Life Advice However I Want!" is a quirky story about a male incubus born into a society of succubi. It's a premise that's ripe with potential, and while it doesn't always hit the mark, it certainly offers a unique experience.
First Impressions
Initially, I was intrigued by the concept. The idea of an incubus diving into dreams to offer advice felt fresh and funny. The early chapters introduce a protagonist in a unique situation within his succubus tribe, and this part was quite enjoyable. I found myself chuckling at the family dynamics and the MC's general naivete.
What Works Well
The novel's greatest strength, in my opinion, is its world-building, particularly the normalization of lewdness. The author manages to create a society where lustful thoughts and actions are commonplace, yet they don't feel overly gratuitous or jarring. It creates a fascinating lens through which the protagonist views the world, offering a different perspective on relationships and desires. I found this aspect to be quite captivating and thought-provoking. The humor is definitely present, and the episodic nature of the dream diving makes for easy reading.
Areas of Concern
However, the novel isn't without its flaws. One of my biggest gripes is the lack of detailed descriptions, especially when it comes to the dream sequences. The dreams felt underdeveloped and more like conversations in a void rather than immersive experiences. I also felt that the world-building, outside of the succubus society, was lacking. The magic system and the broader world remained vague, which detracted from the overall experience.
Final Verdict
Overall, "I Became an Incubus, So I’ll Dive into Dreams and Give Life Advice However I Want!" is a decent read. While it has its shortcomings, particularly in the rushed ending and lack of detailed world-building, it offers a unique premise and a fascinating perspective on lust and desire. If you're looking for a lighthearted and quirky fantasy novel with a touch of ecchi humor, this might be worth checking out. Just don't expect a masterpiece.
