I feel like the author kept forgetting the premise of the story he's writing. He keeps throwing in these tropes but he's forgetting that these tropes work because they're MALE-centered in MALE-centered universes. In a world with such a massive gender skew, where women are the dominant and aggressive sex, they don't work.

For example, guys being arrogant about who they date. If women are as overly aggressive as they appeared in the first couple of pages, few guys would act like that so it shouldn't be a normative thing. Why? Because getting constantly hit on and seen as a sex object doesn't innately instill confidence, it mainly instills annoyance and disgust for the people who go through it.

Another one is that part about "Treating people like equals" when looking for a guy. Author-san, in this world, GUYS should be thinking that! Women are the DOMINANT SEX! They're the ones in position of power, they're the ones initiating and objectifying by your own mouth! You literally showed us the female equivalent of a Playboy who can't take "No" for an answer hitting on MC!

It just feels like he's throwing out the premise whenever it's convenient and expecting the reader not to notice.
A lot of novels with similar premise are already doing that. This one is rather fresh since the MC isn't someone who's out to exploit the "system". He's just some dude who got thrown on a rocky boat.

Well I like the art and I do find the premise while not original can make for fun situations, but I find the girl for someone who seem to shun traditional boys has grown to like him a bit too much too quickly.
It may end up nice but as it is, I don't want to be led by the nose by another harem, so I will read this...when is done, see you in 3-5 years.

I feel like that should be the bare minimum for this premise, like how Isekai requires you to, well, get isekaid. I feel like from there it can just do it's own thing, but I'm just not a fan of acting like your premise doesn't exist when it fits your fancy.

This isn't the greatest, (Like, she falls in love with him after one meeting?) but 1:39 is so horrendous and obviously-fetishy that this seems a work of art in comparison. (Though I'm not totally convinced that "Kissā" isn't just Kōtarō Mifuji's pen-name.)

So this is basically like that world with LOTS of women but men is SO rare compared to this, but all the girls is not straight horny or lewd? Why is this not has “Harem” tag though from the title and description it seems MC is gonna have lots of “girl friends”?:thonk:
Either way it sounds interesting

I could totally see us evolving into a non-Fisherian species in a few million years.
How? What evolutionary incentive is there?

If there’s a genetic factor that leads to any given baby having only a 1/6 chance of being male, then the more widespread that gene is, the greater the advantage held by the competing “1/2 male” gene. Because the more skewed the population ratio, the more advantageous it becomes to have sons.

For a simplified model, imagine a binary-gender population strictly divided into generations of fixed size, with children of one generation born from random pairings within the previous. On average, women can be expected to have 1.2 children each, with five women having one son and five daughters. Men, however, have on average six children each. That means if you introduce a “1/2 male” gene, it has an evolutionary advantage, because the average number of grandchildren is going to be more.

(I’ve run this simulation. The skewed-gender gene sticks around for a surprisingly long time, because as the sex ratio approaches 1:1 its disadvantage shrinks. Never seems to actually stop declining in prevalence from one generation to the next, though.)

Thought this was a remake of the manga with the similar premise but its completely different and already pretty good

I really, really like this

Same but I'm actually glad it isn't. Now we can have the 2 best possible versions at the same time: one that is the good kind of trash and one that seems like wholesome goodness.

All the girls are actually crazyy.
The protagonist works at a host bar every fridays because his benefactor runs the shop.
(His benefactor is not in his harem)
The office lady stalks him, finds his apartment address and writes it in her memo app, also gets horny listening to his shower water run.
The middle school girl was so unnecessary... She pinned him down and confessed her love but the fact she's in middle school is disgusting to be frank.
His Uni friend, Koumi and Mizuho and the JK girl is the most sane(?)
They're all horny tho...

Good points. While all teisou gyakuten sekai-type stories have some elements of the way society or common sense is structured that probably wouldn't make much sense if you looked at them closely, it does seem like the execution is a bit flimsy in this manga. It's probably trying to take advantage of a hot trend, and the author just conceptualized teisou gyakuten as "men play hard to get and are arrogant, and women have low self-esteem and might idealize the type of guy who isn't arrogant" without carefully thinking through all the details.

Still, the main girl is cute enough, so I'm enjoying it all right. Unfortunately, I suspect the author will just constantly introduce these other heroines and play them off each other, turning the manga into a generic "women fighting over a man behind the scenes" romcom, the only twist being that due to the sci-fi setting these girls are confident they want to date the MC from the start. It's a bad sign that most of chapter 1 was the main heroine's POV, because a good execution of this type of story relies on a funny, likable MC, not some generic "gentle" MC who constantly spaces out.
