About this ebook

While playing games after my wife betrayed me, I suddenly died and woke up as Jack Girard, the protagonist of the fangame Survival Strategies of a Corrupt Aristocrat. Unfortunately, Jack has it even worse than I do. Between his parents trying to assassinate him, the betrayal of his personal maid and the house’s butler, and a host of other horrors, his life—now my life—is one treacherous twist after another. However, with the help of Adele, the strongest supporting character of the game, and my foreknowledge of said twists, I’m determined to overcome it all and live in the lap of luxury!

Ratings and reviews

A pretty decent read, I hope they release a volume 2. MC treats the characters a lot more like game npcs than other similar stories, though it looks like that is going to change going forward. The heroine felt like she turned yandere a little too fast... Also I had hoped that with MCs overly emphasized trauma and distrust of women in particular, any romance would be slow starting and restricted to one person at most but it seems this is gravitating towards harem like almost every other Japanese novel... All in all it is a pretty decent read, it reminds me of Summoned Slaughterer with its writing style and pacing.

Amazing. I almost didn't buy the book because of how short it was, but I'm honestly happy I did. Although it's a little pricey for the page count, it is well written and very thought out. The book feels full of great plot lines and not filled with needless paragraphs about how a vase sat on a desk.

actually well written. I doubt I'll make it much further cuz of the juvenile harem bs, but the fact of the matter is the author made it entertaining in spite of this.
