Description
For some reason, busty beauties won’t stop pressing their breasts against me! After a hellish life as a corporate s*ave, the protagonist is reincarnated as Esmeralda, the Fifth Prince, in a game world he has thoroughly mastered. According to the setting, this Fifth Prince was universally despised, notorious for having “no talent”, “lazy”, and a “bad personality”. After living his previous life for others, the protagonist seizes the opportunity to fully enjoy being the villainous prince and decides to live the life he wants. However, contrary to the supposed setting, Esmeralda’s initial stats are overwhelmingly stronger than even the “game’s protagonist”. And because he is a good person by nature, even though he intends to act as a villain, for some reason the beautiful girls fall for him incredibly hard. This is the story of the villainous prince who, without realizing it, forms a harem army and unconsciously saves the world.

My Thoughts on Reincarnated as the Hated Villainous Prince, I Thought I Could Live Freely in This Life, but Unconsciously Acted Like a Saint Trying to Create an Evil Kingdom, but for Some Reason I’m Highly Respected by Everyone
Okay, let's dive into this long titled web novel. "Reincarnated as the Hated Villainous Prince..." you know the one. It definitely hooked me with its premise – a reincarnation story where the protagonist aims to be a true villain but hilariously fails at every turn, accidentally becoming a saint instead. The core concept is ripe for comedy and some interesting world-building.
First Impressions
Right off the bat, I was intrigued. The idea of a protagonist who thinks he's crafting an evil empire while inadvertently doing good deeds is genuinely funny. I was expecting a lot of tongue-in-cheek humor and maybe some clever subversions of the typical isekai tropes. The tags also promised a strong protagonist from the start, which is always a plus.
What Works Well
The core of the story – the misunderstandings and the protagonist's constant failure to be evil – is genuinely entertaining. The author clearly has a knack for comedic timing, and the situations the protagonist finds himself in are often absurd and laugh-out-loud funny. I also appreciated the multiple points of view, which allowed for a broader understanding of the world and the impact of the protagonist's actions (or rather, misinterpretations). The world-building is also decent, with the elements of sword and magic and the inclusion of elves adding a classic fantasy feel.
Areas of Concern
My biggest issue lies with the protagonist's supposed "villainous" nature. While the story hinges on him trying to be evil, his actions often feel…well, not very villainous. I feel like he's more talk than action, which can be a bit frustrating. I wanted to see more genuine attempts at villainy, even if they ultimately backfire. This disconnect makes it difficult to fully invest in his character and his supposed goals. The harem aspect, while present, doesn't feel particularly well-integrated either.
Final Verdict
"Reincarnated as the Hated Villainous Prince..." has a lot of potential. The comedic premise is strong, and the misunderstandings are genuinely funny. However, the protagonist's lack of actual villainy and the somewhat underdeveloped harem elements hold it back. If you're looking for a lighthearted, comedic read with a unique twist on the isekai genre, this might be worth checking out. Just don't expect a truly evil protagonist. I'd give it a solid 3 out of 5 stars.
