Is there snusnu? - Don't think so.

Character list with illustrations:

Reverse isekai.
Setup very similar (copied even?) to Kikanshita Yuusha, but MC's origins are less cool.
No motorbike clubs or similar.
Also, MC's mother is loli, like the mother from Masamune-kun no Revenge.

This one already got manga version by hentai mangaka Sameda Koban.

(How Kikanshita doesn't have a manga yet surprises me.)

Also, TakayaKi and Sameda Koban.

Wasn't this brought up before in the narou thread before? I recall something about the subtitle being complete fraud.

[sasuke706]

Yeah that'd be me.

Same author as Murabito desuga Nanika? Seems he learned a bit from that work the characters are all around a lot better, but the protagonist, while better than the previous, is still kinda...derp.

Like the first boss fight was supposed to be something not too hard for him but they basically had a shit-flinging contest at each other.
They pretty much just let each other hit the other, and kept trying to one-up the other in terms of amazingness. It was kinda really stupid.

Also, the protagonist has a romcom skill that conveniently makes him go deaf. Yeah.
And for being a hero who saved the world, he's a bit stupid, seems kinda weak, and looks worse than everyone in general despite being stronger.
The more interesting part is he's actually kinda willing to go out with girls, but the girls themselves have such...eccentric personalities that it doesn't end up happening.

The subtitle is a lie, by the way. There is no taming the girls, like at all.

It looks like he got rid of the subtitle for the WN, but the LN still has it.
I actually haven't read this in a long while, on top of the author's hiatus with it.

I assume it hasn't improved much.

Nice art

I stopped reading it shortly after the first heroine arrived and I knew at that moment how the whole plot would go
Then I made jumps to see how the combats or interactions would be and I only saw the same thing as the beginning of the manga
A protagonist (hetare) without a brain and a cheap and annoying comedy.

it's not abeno teruya but abeno kaguya

Reading this, the MC is not really hetare. He's just surrounded with zannen girls. You got the first main heroine who's first introduction is exactly his type in the looks department, but ends up being annoying as fuck what with the literal hundreds of text messages he gets in less than a day. Many of them are like this:
"Hey"
"You know"
"I saw"
"A Bird"


MC was basically trying to hit the abort button on that real fast.
Then you have the other heroine who flatchested, Not even in his radar.

So why are they heroines?

Because they at least get better, kinda.


First one can easily go yandere though. There's no running from her. At least he gets her to stop the texting.

Second girl is doing her best to get his attention.

First girl aside
Second girl is still flatchested forever so she won't ever be on his radar (according to you)

[zztop]

Does the MC's hero status influence why the girls want to get closer to him?

[wuhugm]

The manga is nice so far

[Garn]

But how is the novel, I remember that when I read it the MC was too annoying, and for others who read ahead this doesn't change.

[wuhugm]

^Dunno
MC is fine for me
The heroines are kinda annoying tho
Yea, their trait is being foul-mouthed, but it's weird that they are always foul-mouthed in any situation
So they are curious about MC thinking he has superpower, so how do they approach the MC? By being rude bitches

[wuhugm]

Still reading
Heroines still asses

MC helped her lvl up and thus solved her family problem, not even a thank

[Ruki0089]

Dump her on garbage.

[lokoxDZz]

Chances she would make his life hell by targeting girls near him if he stop talking with her are high

[VooXoo]

Not bad, his relationship with girls is similar to Arararararara in Bakemonogatari, and some heroines are pretty similar too...cool beauty, big glasses girl, blond loli...
But sadly isn't done half as well.

Spoiler for relationship bullshit ex machina:

I can bet money on the author changing idea on Sakaguchi background and deciding to make her a girl from MC past, so to force them together after making clear he wasn't interested in a tsundere tyrannical loli, the connection was created too late and the bullshit of the cerberus curse reincarnating her in the modern world with no real penalty is stupid, is like who made the curse wnated to bring a troublesome person in another world and stop there, no negative after effect or suppresion of power too.
Even the yakuza arc looked like a way to reconnect MC to glasses girl after he had shot her down and ran to save Kaguya.
Kaguya isn't bad, clear is based on Hitagi but with the humor of a old man, hard to decide if is all jokes or she is serious about herself though, funny that if she just continued her school facade or limited the jokes MC would be the one trying to get closer.

A very bad part of the plot is how the MC have a tons of skills, even get foreboding and hints of stuff going but just decides to ignore them, even with the literal 6th sense skills telling him stuff will go in a bad direction, the author would do better do just not write of a skill like that when MC ignores it everytime, that isn't the dense harem protagonist skill at full work, is just the MC being retarded.
Story full of cliches but still can be enjoed (like the deranged bandit going straight for MC class).

[Avrorrange]

Read like the first 30 chapters or so. This novel is definitely trash tier. You don’t feel where the novel is going and the author tends to just skip a lot of detail and summarise what had happened. The ‘heroines’ are definitely trash.
