My Thoughts on The Protagonist Who Is Relaxed Because He Is a Childhood Friend and I, Who Was Reincarnated as an E*oge Scum Character
Alright, that title is a mouthful, isn't it? "The Protagonist Who Is Relaxed Because He Is a Childhood Friend and I, Who Was Reincarnated as an E*oge Scum Character." Let's just call it "Relaxed Protagonist" for now. I dove into this web novel expecting a certain level of… well, let's say predictable fun. And, to a degree, that's what I got.
First Impressions
The premise is pretty straightforward. Our MC gets reincarnated into an eroge (adult game) as a side character, while his childhood friend is the game's protagonist—a notorious scumbag. The MC, armed with game knowledge, decides to prevent the protagonist from ruining everyone's lives and, naturally, ends up attracting the heroines himself. It’s a setup we've seen before, but I was hoping for a fresh spin.
What Works Well
The novel delivers on its promise of a charismatic and caring protagonist. I found myself enjoying the MC's approach to solving the heroines' problems. He uses his knowledge of the game to his advantage, but he also genuinely seems to want to help them. The slice-of-life elements were pleasant enough, offering a lighthearted break from the more dramatic plot points. The comedy is there, although it can be a little hit or miss depending on your taste.
Areas of Concern
However, the plot can feel a bit formulaic. I found myself predicting the story beats quite easily. The character development, especially for the heroines, felt somewhat rushed. It seemed like simply saving them from a minor inconvenience was enough to make them fall head-over-heels for the MC. This rapid shift in their affections felt a little unearned and made it difficult for me to fully invest in their romantic arcs. The harem aspect also felt a bit… convenient. The heroines are all perfectly fine with sharing the MC, which strains believability.
Final Verdict
"Relaxed Protagonist" is an okay read if you're looking for something light and undemanding. It’s not going to blow your mind with intricate plotting or groundbreaking character development. However, if you want a simple isekai with a charming MC, some light comedy, and a harem of adoring heroines, you might find some enjoyment here. I'd say go in with moderate expectations and you might be pleasantly surprised.
