## My Thoughts on I Got a Cheat and Moved to Another World, so I Want to Live as I Like This web novel… well, it's certainly something. "I Got a Cheat and Moved to Another World, so I Want to Live as I Like" throws you headfirst into a world where the protagonist's priorities are, shall we say, *unique*. It's a wild ride, but one that might not be for everyone. ### First Impressions My initial reaction was a bit mixed. The story starts off pretty slow, focusing heavily on the MC's... *exploits*. There's a lot of potion-making, a lot of brothel visits, and not a whole lot of plot development early on. It definitely felt repetitive at times. I can see why some readers dropped it early, feeling like it was just a cycle of "earn money, visit brothel, repeat". The lack of explicit scenes, despite the adult tag, was also a point of contention for many. ### What Works Well Despite my initial reservations, the novel does have some redeeming qualities. Many readers praised the slow-burn plot that gradually unfolds. While the brothel visits are a significant part of the story, they also influence the MC's growth and his impact on the world. The introduction of mecha powered by magic is a unique twist that adds an unexpected layer to the fantasy setting. I also found the world-building to be intriguing, with its own history and realistic character interactions. It seems the author put a lot of thought into the world that they created. ### Areas of Concern The biggest issue, for me, is the repetitive nature of the early chapters and the lack of depth in the brothel scenes. If you're expecting a racy, explicit novel, you'll likely be disappointed. It's more about the *idea* of the adult content than the actual depiction of it. Also, the main character's personality can be a bit… bland. He doesn't seem to have much ambition beyond enjoying his new life, which can make him feel a bit passive and detached from the story. ### Final Verdict "I Got a Cheat and Moved to Another World, so I Want to Live as I Like" is a unique and somewhat divisive web novel. If you're looking for a deep, plot-heavy story with complex characters, this might not be for you. However, if you're open to a lighthearted, ecchi adventure with a slow-burn plot and a unique blend of fantasy and adult themes, it might be worth checking out. Just be prepared for a *lot* of brothel visits. I'd personally give it a 3/5. It's not amazing, but it's entertaining enough to pass the time.
