29-year-old programmer Suzuki Ichirou finds himself transported into a fantasy RPG with video game mecahnics. Within the game, he is a 15-year-old named Satou. Immediately after his arrival, he uses a unique power to destroy an army of lizardmen and becomes the most powerful human in the world as the army gave him tons of XP. He then saves the daughter of a noble from a monster, starts building a harem by saving several demi-human slave girls from abuse, defeats a powerful demon in one hit to become the city's saviour and in the process obtains two more slave girls to add to his harem.

This is the story of a 29 year old in the body of a 15 year old using his high stats and powers to build a harem in a fantasy RPG world with video game mechanics.

Aren't Reincarnation / Trapped in Another World novels like the "Little Sister" fad that was all the rage when Oreimo was popular?

Yes. The increasing amount of stories involving slaves is also a bit concerning.

The only cool little sisters I can remember from around that time frame are:

Rina Yaegashi
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DHh0zWTHI38
Komachi Hikigaya
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uCMs3N-pfpU

Neither were exactly the main focus of their works, but both were awesome. Especially Komachi. Aoi Yuuki is generally awesome as hell. :3:

Fushigi Yuugi is a big name one, though I don't know if it's actually any good.

Also gently caress yeah 12 Kingdoms is great.

Fushigi Yuugi was okay. But the problem is that that Yuu Watase doesn't know when to stop.

Seconding the 12 Kingdoms being incredibly :black101: opinion.

The final boss in that game does the biggest, greatest gently caress you that I've maybe ever seen in a rhythm game.

Look, I'd like to think of myself as a reasonable person, especially towards goons with avatars using what is undoubtedly the Best Girl of a certain anime/manga where food and fanservice create something special and more often than not very very funny, so pardon my french-- BUT PLEASE TELL ME YOU DID NOT JUST TALK poo poo ABOUT FUGAZI, DAVINCIE. :toughguy:

Yeah, I read that Clamp kinda wanted to end it where the first series left off but because their readers were so young they felt like they had to continue it.

I didn't really like the second series (never got far in the anime) so I just assume the end of the first one is what's canon.

Yeah, I recall reading that interview too. The one thing I remember is that, when they return from Cephiro for the first time, the girls are basically shell-shocked. All I keep thinking is "How the gently caress did CLAMP thought this would be an okay place to stop?". Like, now that I've read multiple Clamp works, I know that those ladies can have a nasty streak, but holy poo poo.

I recently rewatched the series and, while it does show its age, the first season still feels like it has overall good pacing. The second season has a bunch of problems, most of all in fact that it's longer but it feels like it should've been shorter, but at the very least the ending is (mostly) okay.
