Description
A middle-aged man who once spent his youth on gal games found himself waking up in the world of his old favorite galge, “Under the Clear Blue Sky” popularly known as “Kumosora” as the protagonist Naruse Yuuki. Kumosora is a typical visual novel drama game that he used to play and is completely familiar on how to capture the game’s heroine’s route. Now he’s ready to embark on capturing the heroine – NOT! Why?! Because the way to get the happy ending is too difficult! That’s right. Kumosora is a typical Japanese Romance-horror style galge set in the countryside with lots of depressing elements! And the game developer is a nasty guy known for his R18 humiliation game! No matter what route the protagonist takes he must endure a gruesome, painful and excruciating ordeal! “I will never capture any heroine! I’m going to smash all these depressive flags before they even appear!” Using his knowledge as a former broker and the knowledge about the future. The middle-aged man builds up his financial strength to gain power. “A depressing event at the head shrine, buy it and block it! Yakuza trying something to do lascivious to the heroine? Hire a mercenary and crush them!” This is the story of a man who reincarnated in a depressing game and refuses to capture any heroines. And using his financial power, he forcibly destroys any depressing flags. But the saved heroine won’t stay silent… “Puhihi. Yu-kun. good morning” “Oi! Heroine – san, stay away! I don’t want to go down on your [3000 years of Loneliness] route!”

My Thoughts on Reincarnating in a Depressing Game! I’ve Been Reincarnated in a Galge That I’ve Known All Too Well, so I’m Going To Destroy All the Depressing Flag and Live Freely!
I dove into "Reincarnating in a Depressing Game!" with a mix of excitement and trepidation. The premise – reincarnating into a game world you know inside and out, determined to avoid the tragic endings – is undeniably appealing. However, after considering various reader experiences, I'm left with mixed feelings.
First Impressions
The initial concept is strong, drawing you in with the promise of a protagonist using their meta-knowledge to navigate a dangerous game world. The idea of a "galge" (dating sim) gone wrong, filled with depressing flags, offers a unique twist on the isekai genre. The potential for comedy and drama is definitely there.
What Works Well
The world-building, at least initially, seems to capture the essence of a dark and twisted game. Some readers found the setting, with its blend of gods, espers, magic, and science, to be intriguing. The initial draw of the protagonist's cheat ability also provides a hook, though its execution seems to be a point of contention. Several readers enjoyed the setups for certain characters, finding them interesting despite other issues.
Areas of Concern
Unfortunately, the execution seems to falter as the story progresses. Several readers expressed disappointment with the protagonist's character, describing them as bland and lacking in development. The main issue seems to be a lack of meaningful relationships, the romance allegedly being butchered by a character that prevents the MC from forming any real connections with the heroines.
I've also seen complaints about the pacing and world-building. Instead of exploring the established elements, the author seemingly introduces new characters and concepts without fully developing them. This leads to information dumps and a sense of the story being pulled from thin air. The age of the characters is also a major point of concern for some, with the early ages making any romantic or suggestive interactions feel uncomfortable.

Final Verdict
"Reincarnating in a Depressing Game!" has a compelling premise, but it struggles with execution. While the initial hook and world-building hold promise, the lackluster protagonist, underdeveloped characters, and pacing issues ultimately hinder the experience. It might be worth a try if you're a die-hard isekai fan, but be prepared for a potentially underwhelming journey.
