I want to read a WN that is like a male-oriented version of those "reincarnated as the villainess in an otome game" WNs. Like, where someone reincarnates as the rear end in a top hat arranged marriage partner of the harem protagonist's main love interest or something.

edit: There was this one WN I read where the protagonist is a guy who reincarnates as the main love interest in an otome game and ends up dating the villainess character. I remember that the heroine having the supernatural ability to make all men fall in love with her was a plot element.

Oh, I saw that one too. It would be this one, with such an incredibly generic LN title:

Then we can enjoy another unified thread like we did with Asterisk of a Failed Knight a couple years back.

It'll probably take a million years before all the planets align in such a way to produce circumstances that amazing again.

Oh well, that’s WNs!

It's always great when a series is dropped and picked up by somebody who may just be running everything through a Japanese -> ??? -> English machine translation. Like, sometimes I don't think a straight machine translation could result in such unreadable grammar.

It always amuses me how so many readers apparently demand the typical "overpowered MC with a harem of 20 women" and will get super salty when they're denied that. I think it's because they treat reading these things sorta like jacking off, and if the MC isn't an overpowered demi-god with a giant harem it's perceived as the equivalent of an ugly woman showing up in the porno they're watching. (I feel like this comparison between isekai web novels and porn is actually surprisingly apt)

I'm pretty sure the dude does get his harem in Risou no Himo Seikatsu, so don't worry.

Ever since I found out you can exclude series with certain tags from NovelUpdates, things have been a lot easier for me.

Can you even create an isekai without a slave harem these days? I think it is actually a prerequisite for the genre now.

Are any of the jnovel club books worth paying $5 to read all the way through in one month?

There's only like 2 or 3 series I would ever consider on J-Novel Club. They have waaaay too many really lovely isekai on the service. Not even the good isekai, just the absolute worst ones. Apparently you can just pay for one month for $5, then buy a bunch of premium tokens and grab the epubs you want. Then, wait a couple months for the next batch.

I'm waiting until next month to do that. By that time they should have two volumes of Cooking with Wild Game.

I would just normally pick up Kindle version from Amazon or wherever, but what really sucks is that they only include the side stories in the premium epubs. So that means you either really enjoy reading lovely isekai every month, or you have to cheat the system and buy the premium epubs in bulk a few times a year.

so, every single interesting aspect is gone now, replaced by painfully generic isekai schlock.

Oof. I've enjoyed the manga so far. Not looking forward to the future of that one.

I enjoyed the first chapter of the manga, but that's really all we get as nobody has bothered to translate the web novel at all (it doesn't even have a Novel Updates page).

Well, that's impressive, in a way.

I mean, I would kind of prefer that versus somebody dumping a raw MTL on a WordPress site and leaving me scratching my head at what is happening.
