Spoiler for FAQ:

Spoiler for What is this about?:

Tanaka. Plot is comedy/parody-ish with typical TUEE aspects, though a different turn of events from the typical. This one can be a hard read for some people, all I can say is don't take this series seriously.

Spoiler for Protagonist?:

Closet pervert/virgin with a strong shojo chuni. Appears to be the typical hetare, but doesn't give a shit either way.

Has near infinite mana and maxed out healing abilities. Thanks to his mana he can use pretty much any magic OP, though the MC doesn't really give a shit and just raises whatever skill he needs when he needs it. He doesn't aggressively fight but rather uses his healing to be near invincible and tank the shit out of everything.

Spoiler for Is it harem?:

Yes? A number of the heroines are after the MC(and actually ask him directly to sex them), though the MC refuses to lose his virginity to a non-virgin and through various circumstances is under the impression that almost all the women who gather around him are not. (Half of them actually aren't virgins)

There's a lot of insanity in terms of relationships. Some of it can be taken as NTR to the reader if you try to ship though the MC doesn't give a shit about dem non-virgins.

It's really hard to describe this one, it's TUEE, though that doesn't really have any value story wise other than preventing the MC from getting owned by life. Then the MC is hetare, but not at the same time. There's no flustered blushing BS here, the MC is pretty honest with his desires he just isn't proactive in them. Plot? What's that?

It's actually hard to give a good reason why it's a fun read.... Maybe it really isn't and it's all just my imagination?!

A slightly different flavor TUEE, try it if you're bored.

It's in the narou thread. Though the LN is basically just coming out.


Pretty much every character with a name is re-occuring in this story. There is not much to call a plot. The writing and character interactions are good.

The main reason this series is good is the characters really, don't go into this expecting the same thing from other series.



There are a lot of females, defining heroine is difficult here. There is sex, the MC gets none by his own choice (because he can't confirm if they are a virgin).

It's really hard to call it NTR in this one, rather the MC steals another guys harem member. Though he never touches her (see the usual reason).

Up to current I still have no idea who could be considered the main heroine.

Spoiler for NTR? Spoilers:

The two females on the LN cover are part of the blonde ikemen knights harem at the start. The MC parties with them and they start having a threesome in the room next to where he is sleeping. He was into the blonde tsundere prior to that (literally 1 chapter since he met them). They continue partying for a while and the knight ends up not living up to his class, the MC basically fights a dragon and saves the blonde. He saves her a number of times so she gradually falls for the MC.

The MC knows shes not a virgin so he basically holds no interest in her, and when she eventually asks him for sex he starts refusing her under the excuse that he's good friends with the knight and says she still has feelings for him. (In reality he just doesn't want a non-virgin)

The blonde pretty solidly rejects the knight and seriously goes after the MC but he continues to reject her for quite a while, eventually some events happen and she loses her memories and basically resets to the knights harem again.

The knight is a decent dude and respects the MC after the dragon incident so he's kind of frustrated by losing the blonde, and wants to have a "fair fight" with the MC over her, not getting her back just because she lost her memory.

The NTR is hard to deifne because the MC has never really shown a solid interest in the blonde. Though another heroine the MC likes and he knows is a virgin is shallow and into the knights face. Yet another potential heroine is a total lesbian so it's hard to figure out her position, she actively has lesbian sex alll over the story where the MC frequently comes across her and enjoys the show.

Most of the heroines have a position where the MC is lead to believe they are not virgins or are in relationships/love with others, thus he has no interest in them.

^MC sounds like an asshole

Why do the girls like him anyway?
He's fucking ugly

The MC has an incosistent personality. The inner thoughts and the way he interacts with people don't match up, though it's done consistently and well written throughout the story. He interacts with just about everyone very formally and almost never refuses to help, his internal monolgues during all this are on the level of Rudeus from MT or worse. He fights several dragons, a war, builds a city, basically the usual TUEE stuff.

Him being fucking ugly yet building a harem without intending to with heroines he has no interest in is part of the amusement. Half the heroines hate him or want to kill him.

Also, his goals are based around his looks, the first part of the story is him becoming an alchemist so he can create a youth potion.


I'll say it again but this is not the usual stuff, but closer to a parody.

[Ncf]

My question is just why?

Why not create a MC who has an healthy libido and acts according to it??
Why must it be a virgin? why does he even care about that?

EDIT:

If it´s more like a parody than those tropes become more acceptable I might give it a shot them

[TheCatWalk]

so can the no virgin amnesia blond be considered the main heroine?
does he eventually do her?
rather...does she get her memories back?

[Kaito Yamakage]

Spoiler for Big Spoilers :

Her losing her memories was a more recent series of events, she seems to have found a stalking diary she kept of the MC and is in denial over it, so up in the air.

Others:
In terms of plot wise she has the most going for her, but honestly his development with various females is pretty solid so it's hard to tell who the MC has the most interest in... there's his loli babaa alchemy teacher (who declared herself a slut), he has a strong interest in her and she likes him secretly for saving her life, though he frequently wishes she was a virgin and considers going for her even if she isn't.... the other big one is the maid, about the only one he knows is a virgin, though she is shallow and only into good looking guys and actually hates the MC for making her life insane. Originally she was a waitress in her family bar, the MC basically uses nobles authority to turn her into a half-slave maid without intending to, and she has to follow him around all over the place. In spite later she starts serving him foods with various body fluids in it and gets hooked on it.

The dragon he fights ends up being a loli as well, though she's one of the few he outright denies because of how arrogant she is.... also the noble dude with a mustache who is a friend of the MC falls for her so the MC wants to help him get with her.

Why does Japan have a festival where they sell candy penises on a stick?


Because the author made him a virgin chu2, in other words he's actually a unicorn.

Edited it. Though like I said it's hard to declare a main heroine here. The entirety of the series there's a lot of build up between all of the characters, they all have their own thing going for them, very few named characters become side characters.

The hardest part about it is trying to figure out the MCs true intention, since he secretly wants to be reverse raped by every female he meets, though openly he declines everyone and says he only wants "true love".

He shows no reactions that would hint he has deeper interest in any of the heroines.


One thing I can say is the loli and tsundere ratio is high here though...

[wuhugm]

The girls on the cover are not the "main" heroines?

who are the bitches anyway?

usually the punchline be everyone is virgin

Spoiler for :

See above spoilers for the blonde, the other female on the cover is the first one to become his "fiancee", though it was forced on him by the blondes father so he could distance the MC from his daughter. Up until then she was the female the MC had the least interest in out of all of them.

Once against she's not a virgin(was sex friends with the ikemen knight and often did threesomes with the blonde, was the one who introduced the blonde to the knight) so the MC declines, but he literally can't because he's only a baron and the blondes father is a duke(not to mention his political parent association wise). He literally declares that he won't accept her until he finds a virgin though to the blondes father, so it's not really finalized yet.

That female on the cover is a bitch, the lesbian is a bitch, a dark elf later is the biggest bitch, the other lesbian princess seems to be a bitch but hasn't had much appearance yet, the maid is kind of a virgin bitch, though more just shallow, can't blame her for thinking the MC is ugly though... he refers to himself as soy sauce face.

The only confirmed virgin is the shallow maid, and she's the one the MC has showed the most active interest in(because she's a virgin), though it's realllllly hard to call her to main heroine (I have a feeling the knight is eventually going to sex her as well which she would be totally up for)... also his alchemy teacher is probably a virgin and lied about not being one, they have some of the best chemistry going. Most of the rest of them are not virgins.

[cabman11]

What a colossal faggot.

[wuhugm]

Uuuh... no thanks... this isn't even nocturne, I'm not mazo enough to read this... Heroines are others' SF... ugh... if they were rape victims or did it with past lover, it's still tolerable... but bitches... no
