The Shepherds Are Dense

During the ritual of summoning demons, Aiwass finally recalled the memories of his past life. This is supposed to be an online game that has been published and operated by its own company for six years. Now his adoptive father is the leader of the latest version of the villain organization. And he will reveal his identity six years later, and he will hesitantly jump back from the protagonist. In the end, because he decided to block the fatal blow for the player character, he was killed in the cutscene CG by the big brother who was rooted in the black without even having a chance to enter the book. — but it’s not a big problem. Because Aiwass also knows many secret promotion paths that are exclusive to the player character, as well as the various path rules that serve as secret knowledge, he will surely be able to reverse his unfortunate fate…… So now there’s only one question left. “According to the original plot, shouldn’t I have been saved by the protagonist before this breaking ceremony began?” Aiwass, who was tied to the ceremonial table as a sacrifice, fell into deep thought. —————— This book is also known as “When the Plot Skips Players Into the Game World” Keywords: Victorian Fantasy, Amber Flow

## My Thoughts on The Shepherds Are Dense "The Shepherds Are Dense" (though I’ve seen it called "When the plot-skips players into the game world" elsewhere) has definitely grabbed my attention. Jumping into a new web novel is always a gamble, but this one feels like it has real potential. ### First Impressions The initial chapters are promising, immediately drawing you into a Victorian-esque world with a unique power system. The protagonist seems clever and observant, using subtle psychological tactics to navigate social situations. It feels like the author put in work to create this world and its power system. ### What Works Well The world-building is strong. The plot seems well-developed, and the characters are engaging enough to keep me interested. The author appears to have a knack for keeping the story flowing. ### Areas of Concern I've got to be honest, the translation quality is a mixed bag. While some find it surprisingly good for MTL, others have pointed out inconsistencies in names and stiff writing. I can see how this could be frustrating and pull you out of the story. ### Final Verdict Despite some translation hiccups, "The Shepherds Are Dense" seems like a worthwhile read if you're into fantasy, mystery, and unique power systems. The strong world-building, interesting characters, and engaging plot outweigh the translation issues for me. I'd recommend giving it a shot, but be prepared for some potentially rough patches in the translation.
