Two problems mainly. Firstly the MC is previously an independent 30+ year old who has been living on his own since high school. The aura that he presents from his actions, thoughts, and words, makes him seem like a young adult at best. Examples would be his lack of emotional control, like this statement. Ch 7 "Damn!!! Every single one of them are human scum!!! Die you f**king pests!!!" I don't know about you, but adults where I live, don't say that about 16-year-old children.

Secondly, it really doesn't make sense that the MC decides to go on an adventure to look for relics and actually manage to find them. This is excused in Otome because the main character in that series knows the exact location of treasure with an AI but that excuse doesn't work for our MC. The way it is portrayed in the story is that the main character is a hot-headed idiot who decides to venture into dangerous lands with the bare minimum equipment (which he lost immediately), is attacked by several different things, and still manages to find exactly what he was looking for. A bit of plot armor is expected but too many different types of plot armor happen here simultaneously.

Spoiler

The first is that HE SURVIVES PIRATE, DINOSAURS, AND CANNIBALS IN AN UNFAMILIAR ENVIRONMENT WITH NO EQUIPMENT AT THE AGE OF 16. You cannot portray an MC to be stupid and then make him do something even a geared army soldier would struggle with. Secondly, the MC discovers an artifact by WALKING and FALLING into a crack. A very cliche but normal plot armor. The third and final cliche is that the artifact happens to be the EXTREMELY RARE artifact with a WORKING AI SYSTEM that speaks the SAME LANGUAGE. Even in Otome, an AI artifact was essentially non-existent except for the one the MC had.

[collapse]

Overall though, I think the main character needs a bit more maturity for a transmigrated person. It's hard to enjoy a story where the protagonist acts extremely cliche, predictable, and childish (ie his friends get somewhat disrespected, and then he rages).

A decent read in a familiar world. Especially if you read the author's other series.

Hi reader this story is basically like a sibling to the version of The World of Otome Games is Tough For Mobs. It has the same plot, same type of character and has far less humor.

Overall it is good. You will be cheering for the main character to stomp everyone. And you would love the romance. The villians feel like a threat. And much much more irredimeble.

Only issuse I have in the story is the main character is a doormat which even the author agree since his name translates to mat.
