If there’s a Yuri guy, is there also a Fujoshi girl?
Given they way they act I’d think they’d resent any guys being attracted to each other bc they want them for themselves (tho, surprised we haven’t seen a tomboy “cross dresser” who does so to attract women/some kinda pseudo host club to compensate for the lack of men versus “only” fantasy books/games lol)

But idk if there are enough yuri fans to where they’d be willing to give fan service in exchange for hooking up the way men want 3-ways/threesomes bc they wanna watch women making out as “foreplay” lol

It was your fault for accepting, my boy.

Or perhaps...boys of this world simply aren't equipped for heartbreak. Though it looks like they're kinda easily talked down in general.

Yes, as there is definitely no difference between The Wizard of Oz and Alice in Wonderland. Both are just Isekai, after all. Star Wars and Star Trek are the same, because they are both just super popular Sci-Fi shows, right? D.C. and Marvel are the same, right? I'm being pretty flippant, but you should get the point that your reduction is about as useful as pointing out the sun is in the sky.

I can even pick 2 different 'Gender reversal worlds' I greatly enjoy that aren't the World of Moral Reversal that have different world building from this one. It isn't that hard. Yes, Virgin Knight is set in a different time period and the focus is more on time period politics in between a lot of trying to get into Faust's very big britches, but by your own definition it is a World of Gender Reversal.

Kakudzukesareru sekai de iketeiku | Living in a Class Based World
Set in a world with a much higher gender ratio disparity. All men in their country are sent to their own special section of a town in the region.

Teisou Gyakuten Sekai no Doutei Henkyou Ryoushu Kishi | Virgin Knight who is the Frontier Lord in the Gender Switched World
The MC was reborn into essentially the Holy Roman Empire as the above states. He has to remain chaste before marriage, and only barely remembers stuff from what was effectively 20+ years ago from his prior life.

Saying this has world building is like saying elves and magic in a fantasy setting is amazing world building. Haven't seen class based world but virgin knight has actual world building with different histories of countries, each having their own culture and values. Of course it's different, this is one of the exceptions that go further with the setting.
On the other hand what has this story done? Girls so thirsty they would attack men because there's a lack of them? That's about as new as dwarves being good blacksmiths. Men being divas and disliking women? About as different as fireballs in settings with magic.

This story has brought nothing new to the table, it's like saying isekai cheat magician has such amazing world building after they literally copy every trope and offer nothing new.
You obviously think this is fresh or new because you haven't seen much of this genre, but the only thing unique about this story is the specific ratio number.

I agree the concept is not new, but I don't really understand your logic by thinking the author don't do world building. Of course there is a world-building, despite it not necessarily being a new concept.
To me, it is like saying "you don't cook that cake because you are just following an already available recipe on the internet". Of course I cook that cake myself, I just don't invented the recipe.

For the uniqueness, I think The Negative Effects Of Women's Education chapter is quite unique in a sense that the girls are delusional because they are being taught. It is clear the author put some thought in this. I just think it is not fair as I think you are dissing the author for "not putting thought" in this series when it is clearly not the case. Using an already available concept is not necessarily "not doing world-building".

With your cake example it's like someone praising the cake you cooked as an amazing new recipe, when you just followed an online recipe and swapped vanilla extract for strawberry.
Cooking the cake would be the writing of the story, which author fully did himself while following the recipe.

Like yeah, this is technically world building even if he came up with almost none of it himself. Every long eared elf is technically a new fantasy race even if they're all copying Tolkien.

And your chapter example is unfortunately not unique... It is actually the most common exposition for this genre when the story switches to a girl's POV. Explanation of expectations of what 'typical' men would do, why girls are sad about it, in order to directly contrast what MC does, and why the heroines love him for it. I also personally dislike it when stories use that exposition because it feels like they're jerking off the MC, giving a lecture of why he's so great instead of just showing through action.

The most different thing about this particular story is that there are 3 guards instead of the typical 1, a secondary male character that is slightly more developed than most other stories (not all, some have male characters that are actual characters) and his obsession with Yuri (usually they would have an obsession with yaoi), and the lack of actual sex (not all that unique either but considering this genre started in porn, the lack of it makes it rarer comparatively due to the sheer volume of smut using this genre)

I'm not dissing the author for his work, he does execute it well enough, but the author didn't come up with a new recipe, he's following the existing recipe by the book.
