Interesting

 

[Qwest]

An actual unique concept with good art, hopefully theres no reveal later that he was a Japanese citizen isekai'd and a former hero and/or has cheat abilities

MC's jaw and mouth are a bit too wide he kinda looked like a frog in some panels.
The women were fine tho'.

I only know one other story featuring a protagonist being a scumbag that leeches off of FMC and it only took one episode from that anime before I decided to drop it altogether. I'll give this a few more chapters as it hasn't given enough information for me to do the same yet, but so far he's no better than the other guy.

 

[XDcute9999]

damn. already 10 chapters in the raws.

 

[REDRED]

Hmm Not bad. not bad. I'm thinking i'll like this one.

Thanks for the series!

 

[ARealCoolGuy]

Ah yes, I can see how he protects the princess knight by... checks notes... having sex with random prostitutes?

 

[pepinotomate]

tbf prostitutes can have some info that might involved with some hidden orgs, by doing them and then have some chit chat, he can both ease his horniness and discover some hidden plot against the princess
a win-win

Spoiler: Not big spoiler but

According to LN readers things he does has a purpose and pretty much stops entirely when shit hits the fan

It's very much on purpose to make him look deplorable.

 

[TakilCal]

To be fair, he's not a good person, but... half(?) of this is an act. He's definitely a whoremonger, but he's also in the slums and whatnot for information.

Spoiler: HUGE SPOILER FOR NOVEL VOLUME 1

The princess' adventuring companion had been killed, and she got the "Dungeon Sickness", essentially fantasy PTSD. She started taking "Release", which is Fantasy-cocaine, but worse, and became addicted. Over time, you have to take more and more, and it gets worse and worse.

He's being "kept" to help wean her off, and he's actively removing all sources of the drug from the city, using deadly force if necessary.

Spoiler: HUGE SPOILER FOR HIM

He was part of a legendary adventuring team, but they ransacked the Sun God's tower, and he was cursed to only be able to use his Herculean strength when he's being directly shined on by the Sun. There isn't the sun in the dungeon, so he can't do anything in there.

It's a big mystery throughout the first volume, and when it shows how they met, a year prior, a LOT of their previous interactions start making a whole lot more sense.

 

[TheProtectorOfPureHeartedGirls]

Honestly, the story looks promising.
