I Became The Scoundrel In The Popular Dating Sim Novel

Trapped in the body of Yagami Reiji, the most despised character in a legendary dating sim, I face an impossible task. As the heir to Japan's most powerful Yakuza empire, I've inherited a reputation steeped in harassment, bullying, and heroine-stealing—the exact role designed to ruin playthroughs.

But the game is no longer fiction. The heroines are real. The choices that once determined endings now shape my actual life. And I'm determined to rewrite my story.

Navigating school corridors while dodging my father's underworld expectations, I embark on a quiet rebellion to reclaim my name. Each day brings new obstacles: suspicious heroines, ruthless rivals, and the crushing weight of my predecessor's sins. Yet beneath the chaos lies an unexpected truth—the original protagonist might be far more problematic than anyone realized.

Can I dismantle the scoundrel persona thread by thread? Will the beautiful heroines I once "stole" give me a chance at redemption? And what happens when the game's dark underbelly collides with genuine romance?

In this world where dating sim logic meets brutal reality, survival means something entirely different.
