Spoiler for Synopsis:

Taken from Novel Updates

The main character is reborn as a character from a game he played in his previous life. This character falls into ruin along with the villainess, spending the last of their years together. A man named Kururi Helan.

No details of this decline is written inside the game, it can’t be understood why this sub-character ended up with the villainess route. However, that is of no importance.

Living as a needy farmer along with someone is unpleasant, so the main character seeks a profession. For now, he aims for becoming a blacksmith as he originally had skill in it.

Spoiler for FAQ:

Is the MC OP?
Nope. He is strong when compared to the average but not so much to be considered OP.

Is this a harem?
Maybe or maybe not, the story seems to go to a love triangle with the MC, the Heroine and the Villainess but nothing confirmed so far.

Any Sn-
So far no relationship has been born so no, no snu-snu or anything of the like.

Well, since I only have seen this been mentioned at Narou thread and no thread for this I decided to make one since Vol.1 of the LN has been out for a while and the WN has been recently updated. So far as of lastest chapter my biggest complain about this would be hw often are the background characters forgotten, never to be seen again like the one time characters in some animes/mangas.

There are others problems too but at least I guess it is ok enough to keep me interested and I swear it is not because I want to see a shuraba from a love triangle, nope not at all.

[cabman11]

Not sure if a thread already exists for this one

[travelingbum]

nope.

and once again the giant corn.
does the 1 and only volume out, cover everything that the WN has right now..... geez.

[Jazteer]

I don't think so. At the very least if the author fixes all the loose ends, don't leave most of the characters forgotten and/or adds some new content it should be enough for at least 2 or 3 Volumes I think.

[lexlexz]

who is the black girl and the purple girl?

[obnuchious]

am disappointed that the princess isn't on the cover... she's quite fun based on the translated chapters...

purple girl, obviously the villainess aka his probable future wife

black girl, might be the heroine

and to think Mr. Giant is that good looking . . . weird . . .

lastly, poor lamb/sheep~~~

[Hokoga]

I enjoyed this story a lot and I'm eagerly awaiting for the next chapter to be translated.

too bad her adventures take her all over the place and we don't get to see them meet.

yes.

yay raw meal got on the cover.

[Jazteer]

Too bad the princess onlu appears two times and in both times she doesn't meet Kukuri like she planned to.

And yeah, poor lamb/sheep isn't going to have a good end (and with it being aware of it)

[watisit]

The WN covers the student council coming in quite early but the LN makes zero mention of them.

You poor naive fool. There will be no further translation. The translator has gone MIA. Unless someone else picks this up, it will go the path of Metal Hagure.

[The One Above God]

New translated chapter up by SlothTranslations.

So the blonde holding the sword is his "apprentice"?

He seems to be associating more with the game's main character compared to most stories of this type.

Usually the people that turn into gaming characters try to avoid the game's main character as much as possible to prevent bad/unpredictable things from happening in the future.

Well unlike the cliche, the heroine is actually likable rather than a bitch in sheep's clothing. Considering Kururi somehow believes she will automatically be queen in the future(due to that being the main route of the game), it's in his best interests to be friends.

Actually, even though right now everything is going smooth sailing with the villainess it could easily flip and have him marry the heroine(or both). There are hints to that effect.

BTW, for even Eliza doesn't know the answer of question [ what is the other name of Vitamin C?] make me think that She is also a transporter if not reincarnator

[Cancel]

Why is the heroine holding a corn? Is this to show that she's a farmer?

This. I love it how the heroine and villainess are both shown to be actually amazingly good girls; most series like these use the cliché of making one of the characters randomly bitching and acting crazily for no reason; here the two girls are moving and looking forward so a love triangle -> rivals sandwitch end would be much welcomed

This is a little bit similar to yuusha party kawaiiko; is shounen but it's also fluff. Both series also don't try to be overly complex when they can't, to me that's a plus.

Added translator site for chapter 16+

Still I wonder if the WN is officially abandoned by the author now that it has a LN adaptation, since it didn't seem like it was going to end with chapter 56.

[The One Above God]

New translated chapter out.

[xTachibana]

so....anyone have any spoilers for this?
