There is a lot that is good with the story. The writing is entertaining, there is some great world-building as it progresses, and the characters are all fairly distinct with their own unique personalities. Volume 1 is an enjoyable start with a twist at the end, and volume 2 really amps up the stakes with a tragic ending.

What really lets this story down is volume 3. I won't go too deep into spoilers, but the MC transfers bodies into a prince and meets one of the girls who loves his normal self. Then instead of telling her who he is and what happened he proceeds to basically rape her, leaving her feeling as if she has betrayed the person she loves. Even then he doesn't tell her. All the MC needed to do was tell her his name and prove it by relaying some of his memories (like the very unique way they met). Instead he violates her and leaves her emotionally destroyed.

This just killed my enjoyment of the story, and is the number one reason so many people have negative views and reviews of it. The backlash was so big that the author postponed writing volume 4 for a while on his website and it was several more years before going on to the fifth volume. 

Volume 4 is an improvement but not by much. It becomes more of a mystery/man-on-the-run type of story, where pretty much everybody he encounters is an enemy. It's so formulaic that it becomes boring, and what should be plot twists are straight paths. Unfortunately the author is also very thin-skinned and, instead of taking any negative feedback into consideration or engaging in constructive dialogue, he reacts to any negative reviews on his website by either lashing out at the poster or outright deleting them. Even he knew he screwed up on volume 3 and alluded as such several times, but he is unable to take any critique without attacking the users.

TLDR: Volumes 1 and 2 are great, volume 3 was a piece of garbage, and volume 4 just felt like the author going through the motions because he had to, not because he wanted to. This is how great  and promising stories self-destruct.

If you can get past how utterly repulsive the main character is, it's a great story. It's just a really high hurdle and subverts expectations.

The smut scenes are quite good and the world is interesting and fairly fleshed out. While I'd never want to live there, it's interesting to think about how such a messed up society could exist and did draw me in for far longer than I would have thought. The magic system is a bit odd, but seems pretty engaging in how it was implimented. The drama is paced at a fairly good speed though sometimes it is jarring.

I'd recommend this to anyone who can ignore/pardon the MC for his increasingly disgusting behavior.

Difficult to give this story a rating, honestly it's better than his other stories, but I wouldn't call it great. Honestly it's a shame about volume 3, because before than I would say this story was preety good, but Volume 3 was bad.

At the very least though, it helped me figure out why everyone was calling the MC an idiot, after reading volume 3 it was obvious. The writer abuses the Idiot Ball trope. For those not in the know the idiot ball trope is where a character suddenly becomes stupid/stupider, for the sake of the plot. It is usually seen in OOC events, but occasionally some writers' ret-con those scenes by giving excuses such as drunk, magic, tricks, grief, etc.

The MC was never the brightest bulb in the bunch, but so long as you're character is progressing and improving people for the most part are fine with it. The first volume was him stuck in his own bubble. The second was him experiencing it for the first time, so the MC is given some leeway in terms of dumb things he can get away with, but in volume 3 his character definitely regressed, and even if you give an excuse, it's obvious to you as a reader that it's for the sake of the plot. After all, if the character wasn't an idiot *blank* wouldn't happened.

Clyburn, the MC, actually has moments of competency so it's obvious it's less that the character is dumb, and more that he HAS TO BE dumb.

If I had to guess; the author probably had an idea or two for certain plot threads, but then decided to change them retconning them as best he could, but in doing so the tone was f-ed up, and the idiot ball trope was abused.

I don't know if I'll read the next volume. I liked 1 and 2 very much, but reading 3 was quite difficult.

Started out amazing and the world-building is also amazing but the MC is so hard to read that I can't put up with reading beyond this chapter.

I can't add more without spoiling it for new readers that may enjoy the novel.

But world building is amazing the actually people not amazing and the MC is the worst by far with how stupid he is

I stopped reading after 25ish chapters. It just got so painful to read about a fully grown man with the wisdom and intelligence of a 13 year old comic book fan.  The setting and prose are actually surprisingly very well thought out and interesting. How the author depicts women is, in my opinion, accurate. Women are no better or worse then men in everyday life. It's in the extreme ends of the behavioral spectrum that really show any difference between the s*xes. The problem with the story is the MC, His incompetence and inability to learn from his mistakes to only repeat them over and over again is frustrating. His actions have no logical consistencies. If you wanted your character to be a hormonal moron then don't include a 37 year history with a wife and successful business as his backstory, you could have just had him die as a teenager or early 20 something then get transmigrated. His poor choices with his family can be partly explained with hormones but seriously, what kind of grown man in a weak child's body would think its okay to act as if he is Batman/Sherlock Holmes?

Reading this novel is like watching a train wreck; and just when you think its over, it gets worse. I enjoyed the first 20-30 ch of fluffy smut, I should have stopped there. After that the novel vacillates wildly between otaku comedy and monstrous tragedy.

It starts out pretty bad/annoying. You start out in volume 1 thinking it's going to be more slice of life, especially with the way the MC was acting, but drama start coming in and our MC makes some terrible choices. It seems the author intentionally made it so and acknowledges his flaws. 

In volume 2, becomes much better, but the scale of events continue and the drama continues. It isn't a bad thing and the MC has matured a bit, but he still makes bad decisions/moves causing you to groan here and there.

Volume 3, which I finished the author's website, is really good in way. It starts out really weird, but as you get settled in, it becomes amazing, but also frustrating, not because of the MC, but because of the world.

Overall amazing world and characters, but you have to tough out some frustrating moments.

Just needs to be stated this is not a happy story. Just to clarify because I always fear it in any dark/tragedy r-18 stuff there is no NTR in it (thank god) but it is very dark. It deals heavily with mental illness in a world with nothing resembling normal interpersonal relationships.

It's really well written and the story kept me heavily invested as I marathoned the rest of the chapters available on the authors website.

Over the past two weeks I have done nothing but come home from work and read this story for several hours till I have to force myself to sleep. 

If you are looking for simple-braindead-smut, this is not your story.

If you are looking for a simple male power fantasy harem wish fulfillment, this is not your story.

If you are looking for a story where our protagonist will take a few licks and bruises before eventually manning up, go on a Shounen training montage, and barely save the day right before antagonists wins, this is not your story.

World of Women is a rollercoaster of emotions. Not the type you see a small county fair, but the sh*t you see at theme parks that seem to be designed to want to kill you. 

Some nights, after reading a few chapters, I'm too excited to fall asleep right away. 

'Is Cly gonna finally get her to sleep with him?'  'Holy sh*t! What a f**king twist!'  'Wtf! A twist within a twist!'

A lot of nights, I go to sleep mentally cursing the protagonists immaturity and naivete. I force myself to swallow the fact the Cly is still a teenager. Yes, he's mentally in his mid thirties, but so am I. A majority of people in thirties still don't have their sh*t together.  As of volume 4. We follow Cly through basically 5 years of his transmigrated teenage life. A majority of the screen time happens during the most dramatic and eventful parts of his life, when the world just absolutely sh*ts on him. We don't get to read about the boring and peaceful times Cly has with his family. 

I believe this has turned off quite a few readers who aren't familiar with this type of pacing. 

There is also very little short term gratification in this story. I mean, yes, the hard to get women will eventually f**k him, and yes, he'll make it out of the situation alive' most of the time. But, it is the cost and outcomes of his decision making that will leave quite a few people feeling frustrated, myself included, on several occasions.

Yet I couldn't stop reading. This is most likely my favorite novel on scribble hub. I haven't felt this giddy about a webstory since I first found out the 'lemon' tag in fanfictions in 2004. 

I implore all potential readers to keep on reading when you encounter your first mental block with story. Just swallow it. And then keep on reading. Then do it again after the 2nd, 3rd, and 4rth block.

This story will completely f**k with your mind. It will make you horny and then make you depressed. It'll make you laugh and then make you feel disgusted. It'll confuse and piss you off. You'll sometimes want to break the device you're reading on. 

But, I think that's what makes World of Women great. It makes you feel.

Soo, it was a great start, then he gets rape,

The logic or the behaviour of men in this world is based on some dudes book on how to treat women like cattle/objects,

There are a bunch of feminist and some super extreme that the victim aint really the other boys but the poor/rediculously dumb MC who cant even adjust to the world and remains impulsive and headstrong with the values of his old world without actually slightly adapting to the ways of the new world.

Just read this for the 18+, the story itself can just frustrate you. I recommend his other book "the power of creation"
