Description
I swear. After nearly a hundred repeat playthroughs to collect all the hidden endings, there’s no way I could be mistaken. was absolutely not an R-rated game. There wasn’t even the slightest hint of s*xual content. “But, ahh, why, sob.” When Bella opened her mouth, moans mixed with her words. The man pressing down on her from behind grabbed her hair and pulled. “Seems like you want your master to catch you.” At the low voice in her ear, Bella flinched and clamped her mouth shut. The man laughed softly. “Still, I don’t mind. Go ahead and cry all you want.” “……!” Bella had to clench her teeth to avoid making any sound as something large thrust into her deeply enough to bring tears to her eyes. With a tearful expression, Bella clutched her pillow with all her might and thought. ‘How in the world did things end up like this……’ She absolutely didn’t want to be caught by her master, the princess who was the female protagonist of the original game. That these men relentlessly pouring their lust into Bella were actually the princess’s potential fiancés. But… “What am I supposed to do when you’re always so bundled up in clothes? There are still three men left. Bella, please entertain me.” It seems the princess knows what’s happening to Bella……?

My Thoughts on It Wasn’t an R-Rated Game
"It Wasn’t an R-Rated Game" certainly lives up to its mature tag, and perhaps even surpasses it. Jumping into this novel, I was expecting a steamy reverse harem with some darker elements, but I quickly realized it was more complex and potentially triggering than initially perceived. It's a story that demands attention and isn't afraid to push boundaries, but whether it does so effectively is up for debate.
First Impressions
Initially, the premise intrigued me. A female lead, Bella, finding herself in her favorite video game as a lady-in-waiting to the princess? Sounds like a fun isekai with potential for romance and adventure. I was ready for some lighthearted escapism with a touch of spice. However, it quickly became clear that this wasn’t the fluffy reverse harem I anticipated. The early chapters set a darker tone, hinting at the psychological complexities and potential for non-consensual situations that would soon unfold.
What Works Well
The writing itself is compelling. I found myself drawn into Bella's plight, wanting to understand the mysteries surrounding her and the repeating summer. The author does a great job of building suspense and keeping me invested in the plot, even when the subject matter became difficult. The hinted connection between Bella and the princess, Natalie, also kept me intrigued, driving me to uncover the truth behind their similarities and the overall lore of the world. Despite the darkness, I was genuinely curious to see where the story would lead and how Bella would navigate her increasingly precarious situation.
Areas of Concern
The primary issue with this novel, and it's a significant one, lies in its handling of sensitive content. The story delves deeply into themes of sexual abuse and manipulation, and it doesn’t always do so with the necessary nuance or sensitivity. Some readers might find the repeated instances of non-consensual acts to be gratuitous and potentially triggering. The male leads, with a few exceptions, are portrayed as deeply flawed and even abusive characters, which may be off-putting to readers looking for a more traditional romance. The power dynamics are skewed, and Bella's agency is often diminished, making for a difficult and sometimes uncomfortable read.

Final Verdict
"It Wasn’t an R-Rated Game" is a complex and controversial novel. While it boasts intriguing plot elements and compelling writing, its heavy focus on dark themes and non-consensual situations may not be for everyone. If you're willing to brace yourself for a potentially triggering read with morally grey characters, then this novel might offer a unique and thought-provoking experience. However, proceed with caution and be mindful of the warnings. I'm giving it a cautious 3/5 stars.
