“Urk…”

Just a normal a way to regain consciousness, almost as if waking from a deep, dreamless slumber, it’s a calm, effortless awakening, sweeter and more refreshing than any other.

“Haaahm…”

My body feels so light. I’m amazed at how light it is. With this kind of situation, even if it were Monday morning, I could rush off to work or school right away.

Could this be a perfect morning?

With the sun beating down through the closed eyelids, it feels warm, and a cool breeze blows in, but…

“Byubyut~ Bubyubyut~”

The sweet chirping of birds brushes past the ears…

“hmm…?”

Wait a sec.

If it were a sparrow or a pigeon, I wouldn’t think twice, but the unfamiliar chirp of a bird I’ve never heard before suddenly makes me unease.

What kind of bird is making that “Byubyut~” sound?

When I start to feel uneasy, I start to question everything I feel.

The soft pillow under my head feels like grass, The fan’s breeze is like a gust from the forest, and I used to love how free I felt when my body was so light, but now it’s like I’m naked without even knowing it!

“Huh?”

Shit, What’s that all about?

When I opened my eyes, I wasn’t in my tiny one-room apartment, but in a strange forest filled with round birds flapping their small wings.

“What?! What the hell going on?!”

I’ve never really talked to myself before, but panic made me blurt out everything. I clearly fell asleep in my apartment, but now I’m naked in the middle of a forest?

I quickly sat up and looked around. Now’s not the time to stress about things like tsutsugamushi disease or itai-itai disease on the grass. Huh? Hey, do you know if itai-itai disease is something you can catch from walking on grass?

Anyway, I rush around looking for my clothes. But all I can see is grass growing thickly all around me.

If this is a hidden camera prank, they definitely put a lot of effort into it, so I’ve got to give a great reaction.

The problem is that I’m completely naked with no underwear on. These days, TV stations would lose their licenses if they did something as wild as this, so I don’t think it’s a hidden camera prank. That’s my take on it.

“Byubyut~ Byubyut~”

Those round birds flying through the air one by one since earlier are an odd shape I’ve never seen before.

Rather than calling them birds, it might be more accurate to describe them as round balls of cotton. I just can’t imagine how something that looks so strange can fly.

But there’s no time to dwell on them. The current situation is far too dangerous.

A forest? I woke up and found myself alone in the middle of a forest! How dangerous could this situation get?

But then I had a thought. I was able to adjust to the sudden change in environment, and I finally realized the truth.

‘Shit. This is reincarnation in another world. This is definitely reincarnation in another world! No, wait. It’s not reincarnation, it’s a transmigration, right?’

That’s right. This must be the isekai reincarnation I’ve heard about!

There’s no need to get tied up in arguments about whether it’s reincarnation or transmigration. At the moment, the most important thing is that I’m in a completely new situation, and the first thing I need to do is get my thoughts straight.

‘Alright, Status Window!’

…

There was no Status Window. Fuck.

I’d often thought, “Give me more story instead of this crap,” whenever I saw status windows in stories, but now that I was stranded in a new world, I desperately wished for even the most rudimentary status window to appear.

‘It’s okay. It’s okay… For now, At least without a status window, it’s not a fantasy game. But there’s got to be some special skill you need to get into another world, so I’m just trying to figure out what it is.’

Sometimes you find yourself in situations where you don’t have any skills or experience, and you have to figure things out on the fly, I’m sure I won’t experience such a terrible tragedy, though.

I gave myself a quick once-over.

Maybe there are some patterns engraved on my body that can help me survive this crisis in this other world.

‘There it is!’

As it turned out, there was a very special pattern engraved on my wrist. I gave it a quick look and tried to figure out how to use it, and that was it.

‘Ah. I remembered.’

My memories came back.

Yesterday, I read some works on Novelpia like I always do.

Then I read a novel. It was a yandere novel.

I have to admit that I’m not a fan of the whole “regret-obsession-decay” thing, and I’m a bit hesitant about the whole yandere tag, but I figured it might be worthwhile to try and understand their perspective. So, I decided to give it a shot.

But the book I picked wasn’t just another typical yandere story. If I had just read the comments left by the advance party in the first chapter, nothing would have happened.

‘Fuck! What kind of a lousy novel is this!’

From my standpoint, it was a novel I just couldn’t understand.

It’s normal for a man to take the lead over a woman, but in this novel, the guy gets beat up and taken advantage of! A woman! How could a woman!

But I refrained from commenting. I had this vague idea that the author must’ve had their own thoughts and philosophy…!

I thought that one day, Jujiro would educate the heroines and make them all kneel before him…!

‘Fuck!’

But the book ended with him getting fucked to death. He even stabbed his legs to cripple himself and said he was completely submitting.

I got so caught up in my own anger that I ended up leaving a pretty long comment for the author.

[I stayed up all night reading this and writing a comment. This novel is a total disaster. I want to beat the heroines to death, and the male lead is a total wimp. The writing is good, but that’s about it. It’s not very pleasant to read. This novel is pretty awful. The author has some pretty messed up values, and he makes the characters go through some really awful stuff. If you’re thinking of reading it, please be careful. Get out. You Shouldn’t read it. It’ll hurt you.]

It was my own way of getting justice. It was just to set up a signpost for readers like me who might be hurt by the novel.

But a reply was posted right away.

[Hey, sorry about my novel. I messed up, and I’m sorry it gave you a bad time.]

It made me feel really bad. For a second, I thought the author had just written from their own perspective, and I’d gotten a bit too excited and taken it personally.

So I replied again.

[Hey, sorry about that. I think I got carried away with my comment.]

He also replied to me.

[No, it’s all good. I’ll try to write a better novel next time. I hope it matches your taste. It’s a gender-swapped fantasy where the main character uses a save and load ability to escape a gender-swapped fantasy world.]

After reading his reply, I didn’t know what to say.

In the end, the author clearly had his own firm…

A firm preference for… [dominated by women].

I felt kinda bad for leaving a mean comment, but I didn’t leave any more for him.

I felt like no matter what I said, we wouldn’t understand each other.

Thus, I fell asleep after.

And then, here I am.

“Fuck, fuck, fuck! That dog-fucking bastard!”

I have no idea what’s going on, but I’m definitely sucked into that perverted writer’s novel.

The words “Save & Load” tattooed on my wrist confirm it. I’m inside that pervert’s novel.

‘Wait a minute. He said it was the next novel, right? Then he hasn’t even started writing it yet, has he?’

I had some doubts, but I didn’t have time to think about it.

I remembered what that jerk had written in the comments: [Gender-Swapped Fantasy World].

In a gender-swapped world, women are superior to men, stronger, and more capable. They dominate and oppress men.
I remember getting mad at people who brought up gender-reversal stories in my novel communities, but now I’m trying to figure out how to deal with it.

‘Shit…’

If it’s a gender-reversal story from Novelpia, the male lead is probably just going to wander around and get raped by all the women in the neighborhood!
I have to cover my naked body with anything and run away. But where?

“Whew…”

I grab my head to calm my overheated brain. I get a little overwhelmed when I’m pumped.
But seeing my arms only made me more pumped.

“Ah, Fuck.”

I started going to the gym when I started college. The muscles I’d built up at the gym were gone, and all that was left were these skinny, soft arms like a kid’s!
I’d worked so hard because I’d been told I looked like a girl, but now it was all gone in an instant, and I felt furious.

“You dog-fucking bastard!!”

I couldn’t hold it in anymore and blurted it out. I’m not sure if anyone heard me, but I’ll go back to that world and cut that bastard’s neck.

But the person who heard that voice wasn’t the author.

“Huh? What was that?”

It was that some female bandit who seemed like she had just finished urinating, walking over awkwardly clutching her pants!

As if she had just finished relieving herself!
