My Thoughts on [Sum Mob Reincarnation] I Awakened to the Bug Skill “Eotic Doujin” in an All-Ages Dating Simulation Game, so I’m Going to Enjoy All the Super-Cute Heroines Like It’s an E*oge~ The Protagonist Is Too Pathetic, so It’s Okay if I Steal the Heroines, Right?

First Impressions

Okay, let's be real, the title is quite a mouthful, isn't it? It pretty much lays out exactly what you're getting into: reincarnation, a dating sim, and a protagonist with some… questionable motives. I went in expecting a heavy dose of wish fulfillment with a side of ecchi, and that’s pretty much what I got.

What Works Well

Initially, I was somewhat intrigued by the premise. The idea of a character reincarnating with a "bug skill" that lets him essentially rewrite the rules of the game had potential. At first, there seemed to be a glimmer of strategy involved as the protagonist tried to navigate the dating sim world and win over the heroines. The initial chapters held promise of some lighthearted fun as he figured out how to use his abilities.

Areas of Concern

However, my enthusiasm waned as I continued. The "strategy" I mentioned earlier? It quickly disappears. Instead, the plot relies heavily on convenient coincidences and "lucky chance" encounters that remove any real challenge or need for the protagonist to use his brain. It felt like the author abandoned the initial setup, and the narrative became a repetitive cycle of skill usage and… well, you can guess.

The biggest issue for me was the lack of genuine romance. The protagonist's skills essentially brainwash the heroines into liking him, which makes any connection feel forced and unearned. Without that emotional core, the story quickly devolves into just a series of increasingly explicit scenes. I found myself losing interest due to the repetitive nature of the plot and the lack of meaningful character development. It felt like the story was prioritizing quantity over quality.

Final Verdict

Ultimately, "[S*um Mob Reincarnation]..." is a novel that might appeal to readers looking for pure wish fulfillment and ecchi content without much substance. However, if you're hoping for a compelling story with well-developed characters and genuine romance, you might be disappointed. The initial promise fades quickly, leaving behind a repetitive and ultimately unfulfilling experience.
