Akuyaku Reijou no Shitsuji-sama: Hametsu Flag wa Ore ga Tsubusasete Itadakimasu - Vol. 1 Ch. 1.2 - Prologue

[Khulmach]

"Don't tell me I stole the Prince's position"
I love how fast he realizes this.
This butler is not dense.

 

[Korvalus]

@deathmailrock The thing is that he made the exact same mistake all Otome Isekai protagonists do: he chose to believe that the game's plot is absolute and that her mistress would 100% fall for the prince. Which leaves him free to save the heroine without consequences.

Now he saw why that view is rubbish of the highest order: there's neither novel plot nor flags IRL. By saving her in the mansion and being by her side for years his mistress fell for him, and by saving the heroine she also started to fall for him. And now he has a problem, to put it lightly.

I'm thinking for a very long time why JAP and KOR stories regarding "isekaid'd in a VN" do the exact same thing and the protagonists of those stories are in borderline denial about plots, flags and routes. Hell, reality doesn't work that way...

 

[Sunbun21]

Damn, protagonist actually not a head full of rocks in this manga, can’t wait for next chap

 

[Wannieee]

Lmao that’s a good twist, and I like how he isn’t plot dense to figure things out

 

[R4nd0mus3r]

I do enjoy watching Cyril dinging his grave deeper and deeper as he attempts to survive

 

[Manga-Titan]

Haha, good thing he realized what he has done. But oh boi, he is gonna have to work like crazy now to avoid his doom.

 

[YamiShiroi]

Thank you! Can't wait for the next chapter!

 

[deathmailrock]

@Korvalus Well, part of the problem is that they know it's a game... so these people are game characters....

Which, I think actually makes a huge flaw in these series that the authors ignore... if the game characters look like anime characters to the characters... then do these worlds look anime to the characters... or real??? Like, we see them as anime style, but that's just because they're drawings....

But such questions are never answered...

But if the characters are seen as real to the MC, then there is no way they'd recognize the characters by design and would eventually forget the names...

 

[FgoSegul]

Gotta be real, density like this gotta be fixed with whippings. Like how can you save someone from childhood and not think they developed feelings or at the very least a complex about you?

 

[beazacha]

I mean since he's a Butler how hard is to simply avoid the girl? Unless is a social setting he doesn't even talk or interact with her, I wouldn't be so worried (but also I wouldn't have danced with her either).

 

[someunregpunk]

After reading so many similar toons, I kinda wish the MC would just grab people, spank the evil out of them.

"NO! Bad noble lady/laddy!" Spank them till they can barely stand.

 

[YuriIsTooLewd]

MC is intereting, but I don't see where is the problem. He just need to show to his yandere that he is interested in her, and avoid misunderstanding by rejecting the heroine when they are both present.

 

[Korvalus]

That's... actually a really good question, @deathmailrock. I guess that they would be seeing the world like a properly done live-action version of the game, with the characters the same as in the game, but with being human and that.

But even then, the protagonists treat the VN world as real. So what makes them think that in a Real World^TM there should be anything remotely game-like?

 

[Yahiroz]

Oh thank god MC is not dense and actually realises their feelings.

 

[bunny-k1m]

does this get better? i might drop it

 

[fiveboxes]

@deathmailrock
just think about it as their REAL face is the anime face, while the ANIME face is slightly different manga/anime styled... so they don't have the uncanny valley...

because they are anime and they look like anime... and in anime there is a more "realistic" face... like Deku's All Might impression.

as @Korvalus says they see things as they see it and can make proper judgement from that...

their world is probably different from ours... since to us even a slight difference to realistic features will cause the uncanny valley to appear.

I do think I've read a novel (with a manga) where it's a VR and it has both Anime graphics and Realistic graphics... I think there was more options but I forgot..

 

[Novak_Vai]

Oof, he showered her with a lot of affection that he just realized that she fell in love with him, I think he still has time to fix this.

 

[ExLegendary]

This is the definition "Doing your job too well".

 

[icarushector]

@YuriIsTooLewd this story actually has some pretty hard and fast commoners-nobles political games where class actually matters. Allowing her to go down his route would be just as much a destruction end for her (albeit one where she's probably not dead) as any of the other normal game outcomes.

 

[Karamru]

This is getting interesting a reverse Bakarina effect where the opposite is achieved instead of the desired effect very interesting I wanna see where this goes.
