Story of the novel is as following:
“An ordinary salaryman perishes and awakens reincarnated as Leon Fou Bartfort in the Holfort Kingdom, the setting of an otome game his sister once coerced him into finishing. In this matriarchal society, women hold absolute power, making life especially harsh for insignificant “mob” characters like Leon. Armed with his thorough recollection of the game from his previous existence, Leon aims to upend the established order by acquiring the overpowered artifact Luxion and gaining admission to Holtfort Academy. Though he simply wants a quiet existence and a suitable spouse, his interventions draw him into intricate plots and conspiracies, forcing him to navigate the aristocracy and interact with the game’s central figures.”
