Even Though the Gender Ratio Has Changed, My Attempts at Flirting With Women Are Unsuccessful - Chapter 1: I’ve Been Reincarnated as a Villain, but Do I Really Need to Change?

Chapter 1: I’ve Been Reincarnated as a Villain, but Do I Really Need to Change?

I probably reincarnated as a villain.

I realized this when I turned 10 in this world.

Why?

Well, you’d get it just by looking.

I live in a ridiculously fancy mansion, surrounded by stunningly beautiful maids, handpicked like they’re from a catalog.

Those maids, though, they flinch every time our eyes meet, whispering to each other, always watching my every move.

As for me, I’m a bit chubby with sharp, upturned eyes… totally giving off “spoiled brat” vibes.

No matter how you look at it, I’m not the protagonist type.

I’m the villain.

And the gender ratio in this world? It’s apparently 1:9.

The gender ratio being so skewed didn’t shock me too much.

I mean, in fiction, I’ve seen crazy settings like “one guy in an all-girls school” or “a 1:1000 gender ratio.”

A 1:9 ratio almost feels tame.

One out of every ten people is a guy, right?

There are plenty of guys around.

But for a villain reincarnation, that’s a rare setup.

…Still, something bothers me.

I don’t remember ever playing an eroge or RPG with a 1:9 gender ratio.

In these reincarnation stories, you’re supposed to end up in a game or light novel you were obsessed with, right?

But I can’t recall anything, almost unnaturally so.

It’s not just fuzzy memories—it’s like they were never there to begin with…?

Well, I only just noticed I have memories of my past life. I’ll probably remember more later.

For now…

“Even if I reincarnated as a villain… do I really need to change the part about chasing girls?”

After thinking it over, that’s the conclusion I reached.

Normally, in a villain reincarnation, you’d aim to be a better person to avoid a tragic death or a doomed path.

Of course, violence or verbal abuse is out of the question.

Basic human manners are a must in any world.

But what about chasing girls?

Does that need to change? I don’t think so.

I mean, it’s a 1:9 gender ratio.

With so few guys, doesn’t that mean guys are in high demand?

At the very least, I’ve got better odds of getting close to girls than in my past life.

Petting a girl’s head, getting fed with an “ahh,” having my ears cleaned…

Maybe it’s okay to indulge in a little skirt-chasing.

In my past life, I went to an all-boys school, so I never had any cute girl events!!

That said, chasing girls takes preparation.

It’s not like it just happens.

First, I need to work out.

This chubby body won’t do.

It’s bad for my health and looks terrible.

Plus, I want girls to say, “Wow, your muscles are amazing~♡”

I’m going to train my body to perfection.

Next, I need to boost my magic.

This is a fantasy world.

In a world of swords and magic, you can die just living normally.

Plus, as a villain, there’s a good chance someone’s out to get me.

It’d be such a waste to die in my second life, so I need to strengthen my magic.

And, of course, I’ll be kind to people.

Being kind should keep me from dying or hitting a doomed path, and it’ll help me build good relationships with girls.

Muscles! Magic! Kindness!

With these three in perfect harmony, my smooth-sailing, girl-chasing life begins now!!

“Alright! I reincarnated as a villain, but I’m going to enjoy this world to the fullest~!!”

…Looking back, it’s already midnight. Time to sleep.

And so, I fell into a deep sleep.

This is the story of a guy who genuinely believes he reincarnated as a villain, not realizing he’s been thrown into a “reverse chastity world.”

As he prepares to chase girls… he’s actually preparing to be devoured by this world’s heroines—a story that’s already too late to fix.
