Kill the Harem

Description

I was never a person who struggled with anything. Whatever I wanted to achieve, I achieved, except for finding a good reason for living. That was until I died. Perhaps it was karma, or perhaps it was some particularly sick god. I woke up in a world full of magic and encountered all these women who became romantically obsessed with me. It bears an uncanny resemblance to those garbage isekai series that I had the misfortune of reading in high school.

The problem is, I loathe isekai. It got to the point where ever time I read about a busty elf-girl wanting to follow the protagonist, I wanted to throw something. It's illogical and it ruins the flow of the story. But now, I'm the one getting harassed by such illogical people? What complete and utter drivel. If any obsessive crazy person tries to make me theirs without even caring about my opinion, I'll f*cking kill them! I'll kill them all!

I'm getting back home no matter what. My favorite manga hasn't finished yet and I want to read it to the end.

Q&A Section

Q: Is the protagonist mentally healthy?

A: No, not even close.

Q: Are all the female characters stupid?

A: Barring extenuating circumstances, nobody rational would fall for a guy like the protagonist, so there's a bit of selection bias going on here.

Q: Is this about a Gary Stu killing a bunch of irrational harem characters in a cliche isekai world?

A: Go reread the title and the synopsis.

Q: Do the women die because they won't sleep with the protagonist?

A: No. I'm not sure where anyone got that from since it's entirely the opposite of what happens.

Style: Really nothing to say here, we have been showcased the "true" world in a grim and dark fashion but not really too much in my opinion. The equivalent of PG-13 or John-Wick or Mission Impossible.
Grammar: What do I have to say, this honestly should just be a pass or fail, you do not evaluate a story based on grammar but here you go...
Story: I really love the story so far and think that even though it is really small, can grow up to be a god comparable to the likes of Reverend Insanity or AYMTAV4. We have gone through a lot of dynamics and settings that in a typical isekai, would have taken multiple arcs and already a budding harem. This just shows that a lot of isekai is a kind of useless filler. I especially love how mage ranking works, it does not, as mages are like glass cannons, the cannons get more powerful but the glass stays fragile so there should be no reason why 100 peak-rank 5 cannot hold a candle to one half-step 6 when their bodies are still about the same toughness.
Characters: The characters, almost every single one, have been fleshed out a little more and that is probably what is keeping me through this story. The MC and some side characters are probably equivalent in the matter of looking at what we know a lot about. I especially love this new character that provides a rival to our MC as he also looks very interesting.
OVERALL: JUST READ THIS!

The Main Character is a pragmatist who actually follows reason and is actually relatable and while he is able to easily do quite immoral actions it is actually explained why he does it.
Also what I really like is that the characters are not just stated as smart they actually show some good reasoning and planning.
This is a refreshing take on the boundless cliches of isekai.
I'd recommend this if you actually like isekais but are bothered by the predictable cliches and annoying dense MCS who are so stupid and blush basically everytime.

So I saw the cover and I immediately think to myself, "Hmm, what's this?" and I read the first chapter.
And the next one.
Aaand the next one.
Somehow, it's been three whole hours and I've nearly read all of what's been posted so far. It's shit, the MC's blatantly overpowered, there's so many awful tropes, but my God I can't get enough. Please, please, I'm begging you, read it. You will not be disappointed in the slightest.

When Jordan B Peterson gets summoned into another world.
I can actually taste the pure hate from the author towards generic Japanese isekai. I almost thought we were soulbound. Too bad there's no childhood friend trope he can exploit.
Anyway. I think this is a good recommendation for the casual Japanese LN enjoyer to open their eyes to the truth.

Its a blast. Few 'good hearted' people will hate the story to their bone. But the truth of the matter is that this is how a mc should act like. Not go mad with lust and stupidity like other all other harem stories.
Latest chapters seems a little disappointing. It seems like the story is going to introduce harem soon despite the title. And writer please add male characters in the story too. The way world is built or shown, it seems like there are hardly any important male characters.
Thank you.

First five chapters were very promising, but instead of characters development, author chosen left behind any deep storytelling and wordbulding and kept escalation without limits. Interesting ideas barely stretched together by pure harem tropes hate and bashing. Every new chapter is another trope and successful and mostly deathly instant solution. Incredible mix of rational fiction, trash clichés bashing, Gary Sue and underdeveloped characters.
I became too attached to the main character in the first few chapters, supporting his paranoia and actions, and then I was deeply disappointed when it turned out that this was not his reaction to a stressful situation, but the default state. The author accuses harems of bad tropes and uses no less banal cliches to debunk them. The quality of the plot decreases the faster the more the background of the main character is revealed.
I cannot give an adequate assessment of grammar, since English is not my native language. Unfortunately, I fell in love with this story very much for a few hours, and then I hated it catastrophically quickly, since this is not a story about an ordinary guy who reacts to danger too sharply, but very effectively, but about a hypercompetent death machine with zero guilt and a whole dollhouse of stupid beauties who line up for the slaughter.

I admit to getting farther into the story than I expected I would, or in truth that I was even vaguely comfortable with. The premise was interesting and I was eager to see what would happen because of it. However, I quickly began to feel disturbed or at other times nothing from the story.
I do not necessarily go out of my way to share my past experiences, but there were quite a few chapters that managed to bring back some bad memories while reading. I have survived the worst one could do to another person, many times in fact, so at the very least the aggressive way the event in the second chapter played out brought up some...mildly unsettling recollections to put it mildly. I don't necessarily blame the author for this.
Each chapter seems to run across someone who quickly becomes lovesick or another trip of harem. I admit to not knowing any harem tropes as it's not my usual genres. Even reverse harem tropes are hard for me to place.
At first I thought the MC's paranoia and actions were due to his reaction to the situation but it was his normal personality. It was so telling he was likely on some kind of medication or therapy in his previous life to handle it. The story is cliche against cliche without expanding on them or countering them. The quality of the story suffered the longer it continued.
The grammar is average to me.
Honestly, this story reads to me as a Gary Stu just murderhoboing his way through a world and the brainless barbie lined up to either take the d or get their heads chopped off. There isn't any guilt or hesitation or thought into killing these people, and the MC seems very much like a narcissist, so I'll just say he is likely extremely mentally unwell. Woe to this world.
It was not what I expected, but what I found either disquieted me or filled me with a resounding nothingness to the characters or world. Perhaps you, dear reader, would fair better.
