Ok Childhood friends, either be wise, uninvolved, and look on; or be practical, involved, and suffer.

On another note, Ayane's worried about her children getting a bad reputation because their mother is 'the villainess', but didn't she think having a husband who 'keeps other women on the side' could drag his own family's name through the mud just as bad, if not worse?

Yes and no. Japanese society still has some pretty outdated beliefs regarding the “manliness” of men having affairs. As long as you’re not “open” about it and are otherwise upstanding in society, men having side-pieces can range from “accepted by not spoken of” to “a show of masculine excellence”.

Wow ... I'm surprised this doesn't count as 'toxic masculinity' to the feminists, they'd be all over this if they were true to their ideologies.

Still, if it's 'outdated', yet still being practiced in 'traditional' homes, I guess it makes sense for Ayane, a child of the upper-class, to bring it up to MC who has more-or-less lived the commoner life up to now.

It does makes you wonder, is this part of why NTR is such a popular genre in Japanese media? Because of the 'manliness' it takes for one to steal another man's girl?

I mean, this girl is kinda the worst right?

"I've been trying to climb up the social ladder so I want to marry into an esteemed name"... what?

That's ... the worst. You're literally telling him you plan to marry him for his name. People call her a villainess, but this is even worse.

Yes I get it it's a romcom, doesn't change the fact she's the worst. Also the childhood friends feel very out of place here...

Actually you might be surprised to know it's not just Japan but large parts of the rest of the world that similar views on 'powerful' or 'sucessful' men having multiple women. The 'developed' Western countries strong views on fidelity are somewhat in the minority although clearly that evolves with each generation.

Thank you very much for the translation, this story is cute!
I'm following the light novel too and making audiobooks for it. I'll link the playlist in case anyone is interested in listening to it. Volume 2 should follow soon:

Have you seen how most female shoujo and josei mangaka treat their own female main characters?

It's not just from men, I swear I have seen some of the most vile depictions of mysogony come from female authors doing a "cute" shoujo story. Jesus fuck do they love glamorizing rapey hot guys.

That's cool and all, but that voice is a big no for me.
Also it's super slow, do people actually listen to audio books that slowly?

Just taking the pure text without ads and shit and posting that, letting people put their own readers to work would be more helpful... Actually you're just after the youtube moneys aren't you, carry on I guess.

I assume the childhood friends can be hired as maids. This would allow the needed harem business to continue even if not in the open

I noticed this has a harem tag and he had the approval to have mistresses. Not to mention if he has the money to support them and they all agree it should be a pretty easy answer later on. I'm sure this is one where the villainess obviously win at the end.

I'm surprised the knife didn't stab anyone when he swung her arm around carelessly like that.

I mean, I kind of get it. I'm almost positive there was at least one time men have thought of having multiple women faun over them, regardless of social class. It's been written in history that powerful men (politically or otherwise) have attained multiple wives/lovers, but at the same time their downfall was also due to having multiple wives/lovers to cater to, and one way or another, they destroyed him and each other from the inside-out.

It just goes to show that having multiple lovers doesn't guarantee success for everyone involved.
