Is there a way I can rate something below 1?
At its core all entertainment is pornography - you're not exactly learning anything from watching a production of MacBeth, now are you? So having a pervert MC and titties all over the place should not be a negative factor for anyone's rating of something like this. (Because if it is a terminal factor, it's obviously not for you. You don't rant about how much you hate gay porn, right? Absolutely nothing is for everyone. Not even Evangelion or Terminator 2.)
The problem, as we all too often see in this genre, is that it has a tendency to immediately degrade into "he's the strongest in the world, never has a problem accomplishing anything, and collects all the women like pokemon."
At this point there's only one character in the story's existence: a pig that's accomplished all of his goals on page one, that proceeds to gleefully roll around in his own shit for 300 pages.
Saitama from One Punch man is sympathetic - even though he's the strongest, he's realistic enough that in itself makes him miserable. We can empathize with Kazuma from Konosuba because he's not the unstoppable sole god of his universe, and also because he's only collected some of the women instead of all of them. It also helps that Kazuma has a personality and opinions, instead of being empty protagonist shaped mayonnaise.
This is a long winded way to get around to saying I'd be so much more on board with this one, if the Protagonist was reincarnated as one of the big titty women inside the game, and wasn't an unstoppable god. There are so many more new things that could be done with that - his problems trying to do anything with his lesbian lust, his abject horror of Horny Cheat Hero Bastard who he has to constantly protect his chastity against, etc. Because he doesn't get everything he wants up front, we could feel alright about him getting some of what he wants later.
....But the real problem is, all that story space nonsense... it means nothing. Because I'm gonna read it anyway because it has a video game and boobies in it.
...Damn it.

@IronDoge
I can't say I agree with that logic of yours. "All entertainment is pornography" is such a large arse statement that I won't even touch it...
* This has a negative score because it's easy to see that the MC is a childish moron, and nobody likes him. Giving ultimate power to a moronic child does not seem like a fun story to go through. If the MC actually deserved his capabilities, even if he was overly OP, it'd be much more acceptable.
* OPMCs are not a problem, even from chapter 1. There are so many "slow life" OPMC stories out there and none of them are a problem to read through. The issue is the writing capabilities of the author, and this one is on the level of a gradeschooler.
* Your analogy to One Punch Man is just bad. The main focus draws almost instantly away from the MC, and his amazing mighty powers. Most of the narrative focuses on other people, who are around the MC. As such, every reason you wrote as to why OPM works is completely irrelevant. OPM works because of the world and characters that exist around a living deus-ex-machina, that try to solve problems like a human with certain limitations would, while OPM just solves everything immediately when needed. Read the manga again, and notice how the MC almost never appears in his own story.
* This is more of a personal rant, but Konosuba works because the "MC didn't collect every single women in the world, and he's not OP"?
The MC is a punching bad of the author, his sole existence is to be surrounded by complete incompetent idiots for him to react to. Konosuba works because it's a very basic form of comedy, in which you bully someone and they "react" to it.
If you feel like you sympathize with the MC, that's on you. I'm not saying you're wrong here, you feel how you feel, but "Konosuba works because the MC is not OP"? I wouldn't say that.
* I'd be much more on board with this mango, if the MC was not an insufferable teenager.
Welp, that's my 5 minutes of rants.
