Ethan loved three things in life: anime, sleeping in, and girls with killer looks. He never expected to wake up as Nara Shikamaru, yes, the “what a drag” genius from Naruto, right in the middle of Iruka’s classroom.
But this Shikamaru? Oh, he’s done being lazy.
Armed with future knowledge, a sharper tongue, and zero patience for filler arcs, he’s rewriting the ninja world’s plotline one smug grin at a time.
Kage-level power? Check.
Outsmarting the smartest? Easy.
Getting chased by dangerous enemies and dangerously attractive kunoichi? Constantly.
From bored genius to ninja heartthrob, Shikamaru’s new motto is simple:
Why play side character… when you can be the main event with a lot of girls on your arm?
Isekai never looked so damn satisfying.
If the MC was smart it wouldn't be a problem but why is everyone except the MC so stupid. Kakashi is a former anbu captain and how can a newbie go undetected by him.
Is it a translation or are you writing it yourself?
I don't even know what to write to do not sound overlly negative.... Lets just say, that i didn't like this story myself, but some ppl, that won't require logic, won't have a problem with 'grapy' mc and author genderbending male characters might like this story. I don't think, that this story deserves high review score, but at the same time i don't believe, that it deserves a low one. I will leave it at 3.0 because it made me question author's lack of basic Naruto world knowledge (like mistaking B rank shadow clone jutsu, for A rank one from scroll of sealing) or making bandit camp just outside ninja village (facepalm) but i've read much worse than this one. You read it at your own risk. Oh one more thing (or two actually). Story seems to have a typical chinese trope, where girls fall in love with mc, for him just doing basic and normal things. You may also forget about characters, that are supposed to be much stronger than mc, to actually behave like one (they are made look stupid, so that mc will look like the smartest one).
