Kinda cliché and not the best out there, but while I wasn't spellbound, it was funny at times. Of course the idea isn't really original, this is based on an old folktale, there are spin-offs EVERYWHERE in every shape and form. So many stories parody it that I couldn't possibly count them all. The main attraction isn't the romance, it's the comedy. He's quite the pervert and unlike so many other japanese protagonists, he's completely unflustered and also not worthless at all. Still, he felt a bit artificial exactly because of this at times, like he's just there to joke around.
The start was the best part, I feel like it gradually lost attraction the longer I read. Partly because of the overdone gags essentially just repeating several times every chapter, it gets old when the same situation is told over and over again in slightly different scenarios. I feel like the author didn't really want to try making the story more interesting, there were plenty of interesting characters but most were just used once or twice and then promptly disappeared like a one-time gag. His father that seemed really fun didn't turn up at all until the last chapter and in flashbacks(not in a speech scene or anything, just standing there) and so many fun situations was missed as the author refused to move from his comfort zone of repeating the same tired gags all the time. His childhood friend just got a chapter or two and while being really hyped, she just disappeared, the cross dresser just got a chapter or two and then popped up every once in a while to say one thing before disappearing, the mother and sister was barely present even after returning, just being there for one chapter featuring them. Seriously, this had the potential to be awesome but while everything was introduced properly, he just tossed them away like garbage right afterwards.
Even the ultimate "plot" ending was lacking impact to say the least. He tried to make some background story but it was clearly just a chaotic mess. Then the typical "succeeded but didn't now there's a sad end but let's change that at the last page". Also made no sense that one person became a goddess. This was another crappy point, nothing is really explained at all, as if the author does his utmost to not think things through, just thinking "ah, it would be fun if this happened" yet doesn't want to justify it. I for one want to know more in detail the background story and even more so why and how that person became a goddess. So many plot holes that it puts swiss cheese to shame.
I was going to rate this 7/10 but after pondering and looking back on what I just read, I can't justify giving it more than 6/10 and that is only because scores tend to be inflated. I did find the main character a fun one and the gags made me laugh a fair amount of times, but that's it for this story.
