Trapped in a Dating Sim: The World of Otome Games is Tough for Mobs - Reviews

I'll make it short for you. This novel had a badass beginning. It exceeded my expectations and few novels could compare to its development and script. Alas,

The Higher of expectations, the greater the downfall. 

But READ THIS AT YOUR OWN RISK. 

It's one of those types of novels where the Author destroys his own work. His own progress and characters in a nutshell. 

No reader should have to go through sh*t like this. The amount of frustration or rage quit will probably be one of the strongest in your reading life in Light Novels. 

(I won't spoil anything, the review or comment section on other sites says everything.)

Honestly dissapointed with this manga, the MC is not likable at all, 40 chapters in and instead of character development, he deteriorated. 

First of all the story, the concept in it self is kinda new, but at the same time they dont really give enough emphasis on woman being more powerful, the only thing they say which fits the concept is most woman has slaves and that's mostly it. Even the shity manhua that is reccomended in this manga played better with the idea of woman being upper in society than this manga. Plus there are a lot of interferance when it comes to MC and his relationship with 2 of the current girls he is involved with. For starters the first focus was for the MC to have a wife, but the manga always disregards everything after that, we aint even close in developing his relationship, at this point the queen has better romantic development than the first 2 woman introduced including the "MC" in the game. Going back the concept of woman has higher status in this world is just stupidly placed, there are even no reason for it being that way. The reason men became of higher status in most standards including work, sports etc is that because men are in a way naturally stronger in terms of muscle development and personality, men are also has higher status in society because back in the early days men are the only ones who can be enrolled in schools. thus in modern society men are still looked upon on and woman are being disregarded in offic and being an athelete. But this manga shows how weak the woman are, there arent even woman fighting in this manga, they are just mean girls in school with slaves, also men are shown to be more intelligent than woman in this manga. Stupid right for a manga that depicts woman being higher status but at the same time woman here are nothing but sidetracks. 

The Art is kinda ok, but the panels are sometimes hard to look at and the text speach most of the times are hard to figure who is saying which. 

Characters are the weakest in this, there really is no character development in this manga "yet". again the MC is gowing down hill in terms of personality, from all the manga i've read the MC here is one of the hardest to really cheer on. He is very hypocrite in the manga, saying things such as the prince being stupid for disregarding his position as a prince etc... meanwhile himself after damaging future of the woman lead who supposed to be the prince wife, he disregarded her emotions and trashed her away because he said its not really his responsibility and he wants the "true" story to happen in the game world he is isekai'd in. Yup hypocrite after taking away all the oppurtunities that should be given to the female lead he felt irresponsible and tossed her after that. ok enough with the MC, other thing i can say about the female leads are that they dont have anything going for them, female lead is being tossed arround everywhere and its hard to see her true emotions because the girl always blush at everything and for everyone. 2nd female lead kinda OK but because she is probably the only character that has a good development in personality so far. sorry but i also need to talk again about the MC, he also has a lot of powerup but it was used stupidly in the manga in a way that it felt like him having the powerup has no sense added in the story, even the ranks he gain he barely used it to do something, even after being promoted in a way that became history breaking for the kingdom for how fast he is being promoted he is still being kicked around by everyone. What's even the point of promoting the MC if almost everyone just do stupid shit to him, it felt like even if he is being promoted to higher rank he is still below. like wth right.

Overall didnt enjoyed most of what the author tried to do in the manga, if you're gonna read this and expects a good story, you'll be dissapointed. Also sorry for the long review that is also somewhat me just releasing awful shit about this manga, this is a first for me, most trash manga/manhua/manhwa i can tolerate and even suggest even though they are shit, but this is in another level. DONT READ.....

This was way better than I expected it to be. The setting of an otame game isn't uncommon, but they didn't have to go so fucking hard on the world building. Sky pirates. Mech battles. Floating islands. Dungeons. If you can roll with the setting it's a delight. Cute girls but not too fan service-y. An interesting main character and antagonist. A MC that stick to their motivations while growing!  the translation was, however, bad at pronouns.

Minor spoilers ahead

QRD:It's garbage, it starts off good and just fails to its own hands. The romance is drawn out cliched and confusing, the headache inducing kind of confusing. The characters and villains are annoying. It could all be so easy but then we wouldn't have a shit sandwich. Seriously he’s the most capable and incapable MC out there. Leon WAS the only redeeming part of this series but it's all just become a blob of tropes and garbage. It becomes a gnawing pain to read, the art is the only thing that keeps me checking back in on this series. For those thinking the LN or WN might be better, it's around the same. And for those that don't like the yuri, harems or basically how Angie and Livia progress their relationship without Leon. Take this as your sign to drop the series. Personally I don't mind it, but it just becomes a garbage schtick with no real substance to the story.

Honestly this has absolutely no romance whatsoever and the male lead doesn't show to have any interest in the girls he thinks that because he's not the main character he doesn't deserve them it was kind of interesting up until chapter 20 then it just got so dramatic like just get together already or at least start to see them as girls instead of friends this is honestly just frustrating it really was not for me but it is kind of funny but that's about it no romance whatsoever [read up to chapter 27] no progress at all and the fact that you only get 1 chapter a month that isn't even satisfying anymore it honestly just got boring and it skips some events
