Review at ch. 285. First of all, this is a translation. The translator/editor did an excellent job maintaining quality and still having the point of the novel expressed. Now, onto the novel. The background of the novel is interesting and takes a unique perspective on some of the world's involvement. The MC is a former assassin who supposedly has good experience with women, who was reincarnated at Sasuke's cousin. Unfortunately, while the MC is good at seducing random women, it feels like all of the main heroines are somewhat ignored when it comes to progressing the character development and actually making them accept his harem. They turn into yanderes or women who like to mock and rile up the yanderes. These also aren't the good yandere. These are the yanderes who will stab and kill the other heroines or MC if they aren't pacified for the next ten minutes. Instead of dealing with them and solving the issue, the MC says he will get interest out of their backside, which he barely does. Additionally, it turns any new meeting with potential future heroines into a jealousy fest where the MC has to pretend to not be interested, while being berated by the girlfriend where she swears to visit the girls in her head. The story is kind of good with somewhat unique worlds such as Guilty Crown and Future Diaries, but in each world the MC was severely nerfed for no reason other than making things difficult. This provided a false sense of difficulty and didn't actually progress his power until somehow, at the end of Guilty Crown, he absorbed the crystals and became more powerful. It wasn't developed and more just handed to him by circumstance. TLDR: The MC basically let's the heroines who are close to him walk over him and refuses to fix their issues. One example is the girls constantly waste his karma points, which he complains about but still gives it to them without handling it or putting down his foot. Being henpecked is only appropriate it monogamous relationships and gets annoying in harem stories, because it becomes constant whenever there is a new heroine introduced.
