Description
Harold, the third prince of the kingdom of Dehavals, gazed at his reflection in the mirror and let out a sigh. This situation was only natural. After all, Harold had the unfortunate fate of being the most disliked character in the ill-fated role of the antagonist’s sidekick in the romantic mobile RPG “Engage Hazard,” a game he had played in his previous life. In this RPG, which played out like a romance novel, the ultimate objective was to “win over the most outstanding fiancée in the world.” During the tutorial phase, Harold had abruptly broken his engagement with the Duke’s daughter, only to challenge the main character. He had spent the rest of the game competing for the affections of various heroines, but in the end, he had remained a woeful secondary character. And as for the heroine… ultimately, his fate was sealed – execution. But not this time! Determined to survive, Harold planned to leverage his knowledge from his past life to become stronger. Instead of repeating his mistake of canceling his engagement with the Duke’s daughter, the first one to do so, he resolved to avoid the impending disastrous ending by immediately stepping away from the fiancée rivalry at the start of the main game. What’s more, in his previous life, this very Duke’s daughter had been the character he had wholeheartedly recommended. Yet, little did Harold know that this Duke’s daughter was not just stronger than any heroine; she was also more possessive and obsessed than any of them.

My Thoughts on The Incompetent Bratty Prince Wants to Survive: Reincarnated as a Villainous Mob in a Romance RPG, But Aiming to Be the Strongest by Ignoring the Original Story
This title certainly grabs your attention, doesn't it? "The Incompetent Bratty Prince..." promises a fun, self-aware romp through familiar isekai tropes. While the premise held initial appeal, my experience with this novel was a bit of a mixed bag.
First Impressions
The initial chapters were intriguing. The idea of a protagonist reincarnated as a minor villain in a romance RPG, determined to become strong and defy his predetermined fate, is promising. There's a certain charm to the "fish out of water" scenario, especially when the MC is aware of the game's plot. However, as I delved deeper, some cracks began to appear.
What Works Well
The budding relationship between the MC, his fiancée, and her servant is a definite highlight. I found myself enjoying the dynamics between the three characters and how their bonds developed. There's a lightheartedness to these interactions that provides a welcome respite from some of the story's other shortcomings. The initial pacing also felt brisk, avoiding the excessive detail that can sometimes bog down this genre.
Areas of Concern
My biggest issue lies with the antagonists. They often come across as cartoonishly evil and lack any real depth or nuance. It's hard to believe these characters are supposed to be intelligent when their actions seem driven by plot convenience rather than logical reasoning. This simplistic portrayal of the "bad guys" significantly detracts from the overall narrative and makes it difficult to become fully invested in the story's conflicts.
Furthermore, the MC's characterization felt inconsistent at times. While the premise suggests a cowardly protagonist, his actions and reactions sometimes feel jarring and out of place, particularly in his interactions with the main heroine. The development of their relationship felt rushed and lacked the organic growth that would make it believable.
Final Verdict
"The Incompetent Bratty Prince Wants to Survive..." has a catchy title and a decent initial concept. While the relationship between the MC, his fiancée, and her servant offers some enjoyable moments, the weak antagonists and inconsistent characterization ultimately hold it back. If you're looking for a lighthearted read with minimal depth, this might be up your alley. However, those seeking a more nuanced and engaging story might want to look elsewhere.
