Trapped in a Dating Sim: The World of Otome Games is Tough for Mobs

Blackmailed into finishing an otome dating game set in a matriarchal society, an ordinary man endures its frustratingly complicated rules and relentless grinding until he finally clears it—only to pay for that victory with severe exhaustion and hunger. On a quick trip to a convenience store to deal with the fallout, he takes a fall down the stairs and loses consciousness.

He awakens to an even harsher twist: reincarnated inside the very game he loathes, now living as the background character Leon Fou Bartfort. With the world stacked against “mobs” like him, Leon relies on his knowledge of the game’s story and systems to keep himself afloat and steer clear of the dangers lurking behind the plot.
