My Thoughts on I Reincarnated as The NTR Villain in a Gal Game After His Evil Deeds Were Exposed, But For Some Reason, The Heroines Keep Approaching Me~

Alright, let's dive into "I Reincarnated as The NTR Villain..." – a title that's quite a mouthful! I went in with a certain set of expectations, given the premise, and I have to say, the experience was a bit of a mixed bag.

First Impressions

The initial concept is intriguing: reincarnated as a villain in a gal game, sounds like a recipe for some chaotic fun, right? I was hoping for some cunning schemes, maybe a bit of delightful villainy. However, I quickly found myself wondering if the "villain" label was just for show. It felt like the story almost immediately backpedaled on its own setup.

What Works Well

Despite my reservations about the initial premise, I can see why some readers find this enjoyable. The protagonist is undeniably competent, and it's a pretty straightforward wish-fulfillment story. He's surrounded by adoring girls, and while he might be a bit of a jerk at times, his intentions are generally good. Some readers seem to enjoy the harem aspect, as it commits to the trope fully. I also appreciate that the translation quality is decent, making it an easier read than some other web novels out there.

Areas of Concern

My biggest issue, and one that seems to echo through several reader opinions, is the misleading title and the lack of depth. The "evil deeds" are pretty tame, and the NTR element feels almost non-existent. I also found the storytelling a bit disjointed. The constant retelling of events from different character perspectives got repetitive. It felt like padding, adding length without necessarily adding substance. The characters themselves felt a bit flat and their motivations were sometimes confusing. The plot inconsistencies further detracted from my enjoyment. It's like the story forgets its own rules sometimes.

Final Verdict

Overall, "I Reincarnated as The NTR Villain..." is a fairly average read. If you're looking for a deep or complex story, this isn't it. However, if you're in the mood for a lighthearted, brain-off harem rom-com, it might scratch that itch. Just be prepared to adjust your expectations and don't go in expecting a true villainous protagonist. I'd say it's a solid 2.5/5 stars – entertaining enough to pass the time, but not particularly memorable.
