Description
I became the protagonist of a reverse harem romance novel where the main character ends up committing su*cide, but instead of being a female, the protagonist is male. With the gender reversal, the female protagonist becomes male, and the male protagonists are all turned into females. So, does that mean it’s a harem story, and isn’t that a good thing? Well, it would have been if it weren’t for the obsessive and toxic elements.

My Thoughts on I Became the Protagonist of a Reverse Harem Romance Novel with an Obsession with Men
First Impressions
The premise of "I Became the Protagonist of a Reverse Harem Romance Novel with an Obsession with Men" immediately grabbed my attention. A male protagonist transmigrating into the body of a sickly heroine in a yandere-filled reverse harem? That's a recipe for either hilarious chaos or utter disaster. I dove in hoping for the former, but unfortunately, I found myself wrestling with some significant issues.
What Works Well
The translation quality is definitely a high point. The writing flows well, making it easy to get through the chapters. I also appreciated the initial hook. The idea of navigating a world filled with obsessively possessive female characters is intriguing, and the story sets up a clear and immediate obstacle for our protagonist. The story also can be fairly funny at times.
Areas of Concern
My biggest issue, and one that seems to be shared by other readers, is the protagonist's lack of agency and questionable decision-making. It feels like he's constantly reacting to situations instead of proactively shaping his own destiny. His plans, or lack thereof, often feel poorly thought out, leading to frustrating consequences. It's one thing to be thrown into a chaotic situation, but it's another to repeatedly make choices that exacerbate the problem. The MC doesn't seem to learn from his mistakes.
Furthermore, the logic behind some of his actions left me scratching my head. For instance, when needing assistance, why would he consistently turn to the very individuals who pose the greatest threat to his well-being? These choices feel contrived and undermine the tension that the story tries to build.

Final Verdict
"I Became the Protagonist of a Reverse Harem Romance Novel with an Obsession with Men" has a lot of potential. The premise is interesting, and the translation is well-done. However, the protagonist's frustrating lack of agency and questionable decisions ultimately drag the story down. While there are moments of humor and intrigue, the overall experience left me wanting more strategic thinking and proactive problem-solving from the main character. I'd say give it a try if you're looking for a very light read, but be prepared for some moments of face-palming frustration.
