My Thoughts on When I Went to Another World, All the Women I Met Fell in Love With Me and Things Got Out of Hand – A Carefree and Heartwarming Harem of a Man Who Fell in Love With a Death God, as He Pours His Thoughts Into a Sketchbook and Dominates All

Okay, that title. It's certainly...descriptive. I went into this web novel, "When I Went to Another World, All the Women I Met Fell in Love With Me and Things Got Out of Hand – A Carefree and Heartwarming Harem of a Man Who Fell in Love With a Death God, as He Pours His Thoughts Into a Sketchbook and Dominates All," with a healthy dose of skepticism. And honestly, my initial impressions weren't far off from what I expected.

First Impressions

The premise is pretty straightforward: average guy gets isekai'd, and inexplicably, every woman he encounters becomes immediately smitten. It's a trope we've seen countless times, and in this case, it feels like it's played completely straight. The initial chapters introduce a flurry of female characters, each seemingly falling for the MC at lightning speed.

What Works Well

If you're looking for a lighthearted, power-fantasy romp, this might scratch that itch. The "dominates all" part of the title isn't just for show. The MC does level up quickly and acquire skills, allowing him to overcome challenges with relative ease. There’s a certain appeal to that wish fulfillment, especially if you're in the mood for something that doesn't require too much brainpower.

Areas of Concern

My main issue lies with the character development, or rather, the lack thereof. The sheer number of love interests introduced early on makes it difficult to connect with any of them. They often feel like archetypes, defined more by their instant infatuation with the MC than by any unique personality traits. This makes it hard to distinguish them or care about their individual stories. The relationships can also feel rushed and superficial, jumping from meeting someone to sharing a room in a single night.

Furthermore, the combat, while present, lacks a sense of genuine tension. Even when the MC acknowledges the danger, the fights often feel like a formality, a quick way to level up and acquire new abilities. This predictability can make the story feel somewhat monotonous.

Final Verdict

"When I Went to Another World..." is a novel that delivers exactly what the title promises. If you enjoy overpowered protagonists, harems, and a lighthearted, low-stakes adventure, you might find some enjoyment here. However, if you're looking for depth, complex characters, or a truly engaging plot, you might want to look elsewhere. Ultimately, it's a fairly average example of the isekai harem genre, neither particularly terrible nor exceptionally good.
