I thought the original protagonist was a cruel monster. Why is he being portrayed as the victim while the game's protagonist, a supposed genuinely good guy, suddenly the baddie?

It's supposed to be a world the game was based on, not the game itself. Creative liberties were taken with the creation of the game.

Manga trends are always a step behind novels, I suppose.

Mostly reversed with anime, but sometimes anime moves so slowly it loops back around.

Somehow, I both felt like I've seen this before and haven't. I'm confuzzuled.

Regardless, thanks for the hard work, TL-sama!

" bro it was just a prank!"
pushes crates on his brother who gets wounded and could have killed someone
well damn
It's DARVO, applied to 'reading the room' basically.
If the idea/act is mostly cheered, the abuser is free to build upon it and escalate. Any disapproval will quickly be made the next target, having proven themselves in opposition to the abuser.

If the idea/act is mostly met with disapproval and consequences risk occurring "it was just a joke/prank": Since in this condition doubling-down would cause accountability, the crowd is clearly bad people for thinking what was said/done was said/done to begin with.
Those who disapprove are decried as lacking an open mind/humor or even irrationally hating the person so much that they disapprove of the idea/action solely on the basis of whodunit "when in fact they would approve of it if it were anyone else".
Meanwhile, supporters of the act/action who were outnumbered know to gaslight any apathetics or fence-sitters about it "clearly" (regardless of what was done and said) not having been meant the way opponents and victims took it.

So the brother ran back into the room, to knock over a bookcase on top of them? How would they have not seen him as he was doing it? :dogkek:

Why does his younger brother consistently look like a decade older than him?

That wasn't crates, it was a book shelf and a big heavy old style one, not one of the light flimsy ikea ones.

I don't remember too well, but there was some reason for that to be the case much further in the story of the light novel.

Yes, there was a reason why he's worse than just in the game. But the bonus story that got released for the LN announcement shows the protagonist was always a manipulative bastard even in the original game, just very few people, such as OG "Villian" Harold, realized. I guess kind of justifying why the player character could easily go for multiple girls and the harem route.
