Description
Shou Atami always admired heroes. Masked heroes who defeat monsters are admirable. Gigantic heroes who battle kaiju are great, too. And heroes who wield swords and wear armor to defeat evil creatures in a classic fantasy setting are simply the best. They fight, save, and sometimes even win the hearts of beautiful girls they rescue. They struggle against evil, lose their way, and despair over the meaning of it all… Yet they still charge ahead, advancing into the future. Shou always admired such classic heroes. But his first life ended without ever stepping onto a path toward a bright future. “We deeply apologize for the error this time.” “As compensation, your next life will be in a world of your choosing. Yes. Huh? Um… what?” “So, you want to become a ‘hero,’ right? I see… that’s an unusual request.” “Understood. In the world you’ll be reborn into, you shall have that… yes.” “Well then, off you go.” “Phew, that could have been bad… Wait, what? Oh no. Are you telling me that he didn’t mean a character named ‘Hero’ (Hiiro), but an actual hero, like a protagonist?” “…What? No way. The character he’s being reincarnated as is a villainous mob character, not even remotely close to the protagonist. Wha-what should we do…?” In a certain sword-and-magic turn-based RPG world, famously called a “depressing game,” a mob character attached to a minor noble villain group gains consciousness. Despite having reincarnated into a side character with villainous inclinations, he is convinced he’s the story’s protagonist. With the mantra “I’m the hero, so everything will work out!” he unintentionally and recklessly disrupts the grim plotlines, villain evaluations, and the mastermind’s schemes with zero awareness.

My Thoughts on [The Aspiring Hero Reincarnated as a Villainous Mob, Unknowingly Ruins the Original Dark Plot] Dear Goddess, Am I the Protagonist of This World?
First Impressions
Okay, that title is a mouthful, right? But honestly, it's pretty accurate in describing what you're getting into. We've got a reincarnation story, a "mob" character, a world that's probably a game, and some dark plot shenanigans. It's a recipe for potentially hilarious chaos, and that's what drew me in. The premise is interesting, and the tags promise a fun blend of comedy, fantasy, and school life. I was ready for a lighthearted read with plenty of misunderstandings.
What Works Well
The core concept of a would-be hero ending up as a villainous "mob" character is executed pretty well. The humor derived from the MC unintentionally messing up the original plot is genuinely entertaining. The academy setting provides a classic backdrop for sword and magic antics, and the hints of a harem and romance add another layer of interest. The misunderstandings are definitely a driving force, and I found myself chuckling at the MC's obliviousness to the grand scheme of things. It seems like the author has a good grasp on the "reincarnated in a game world" trope and uses it to create a unique and engaging narrative.
Areas of Concern
While the overall story is enjoyable, I did find myself slightly put off by the MC's dialogue. The attempt to portray him as a "delinquent" sometimes feels a bit forced and unnatural. It's not a deal-breaker, but it did occasionally pull me out of the immersion. While I appreciate the effort to add flavor to his character, it can be a bit grating at times. It feels like the author is trying a bit too hard, and it might be better to let his actions and interactions speak for themselves.
Final Verdict
Despite my minor qualms with the dialogue, I'd still say that "[The Aspiring Hero Reincarnated as a Villainous Mob, Unknowingly Ruins the Original Dark Plot] Dear Goddess, Am I the Protagonist of This World?" is a worthwhile read if you're looking for a lighthearted and funny reincarnation story. The premise is unique, the misunderstandings are hilarious, and the overall plot is engaging. Just be prepared for some potentially awkward dialogue. I'd give it a solid recommendation.
