Synopsis
Blackmailed into playing a dating simulator set in a matriarchy, an ordinary man must put up with the unbearable and convoluted world until he clears the game. After countless days of grinding, he finally manages to beat it, but his hardcore gaming comes at a cost: extreme sleep deprivation and hunger.

While heading out to the convenience store to solve one of these problems, the man tumbles down the stairs and falls unconscious, only to wake up to the worst possible realization—he has been reincarnated into the game as the mob character Leon Fou Bartfort. Now trapped in a world he despises, Leon must use his knowledge of the game to navigate through the plot safely and sustain himself in a society where the odds are heavily stacked against him.

Character
"What's with all the whining about being royalty? Has anyone tried to sell you to a perverted old hag? Ever had to bow your head repeatedly and beg someone to marry you? Ever had someone tell you how much they hate countryfolk or how they expect you to finance their lover, too? It's pathetic! Why don't you try waiting on a wife hand and foot while she turns around and loves every man but you?!"

- Leon exclaims to Prince Julius and other nobles.

The main character of this work. He is the son of a baron and he is a Reincarnator, In his previous life. H was in a position to be used by my sister who was good at it, and as a result of being forced to play the otome game all night, stairs due to overplaying. Although he is small in stature, he has short black hair, a toned body and a good face. His face still bears the remnants of his previous life.

In this world, he is the third son of a concubine of a baron family, and has an eldest brother and eldest sister who are actually the mistress's children, a second brother and a second sister who share the same mother, and a younger brother and sister. Zora, the lawful wife of his father, Barcus, almost forced him into a political marriage for monetary gain, so he became an adventurer and used his knowledge of the game to discover lost items (Luxion) and treasures, thus avoiding marriage. However, his achievements were so highly regarded that he was granted the title of Baron, independent of his family, and he entered a mad aristocratic society.

He is a petty person who is recognized by both himself and others and is foul-mouthed and dirty with money. However, in reality, he has a kind personality, although he is twisted, and he is a good-natured person who can't abandon people in need, so he sometimes tries to help after making a calculative reason for himself. However, because he has a naïve outlook and his knowledge of the game interferes with his judgment, he is often ill-mannered and deviates from his own intentions, and is sometimes reprimanded by Luxion for being sloppy and half-hearted.

He wants a peaceful life and does not want to be promoted, but because he is often at the center of turmoil, he is promoted from baron to earl and even marquis against his will. I'm going to be the one who takes a heavy responsibility. He recognizes that Livia, the main character of the original game, and Ange, the villainous daughter, "I am a mob, so I can't have a romantic relationship with the main character."

In battle, it uses the power of Arroganz and other Lost Items to thoroughly strike but does not take the life of the opponent. Knights who are prepared to die if they are defeated give him the nickname of "The Fiendish Knight" because of his action that will humiliate them. Luxion speculated that her ancestor, Leia Bartfalt, was the seventh adventurer to found the kingdom

Abilities
Closely resembling a "jack-of-all-trades", Leon is closely competent in all forms of combat, but he is nowhere near a master of none. In terms of individual fields of expertise, there are people better than him (For instance: Chris is likely superior in swordsmanship or Jilk is a better sharpshooter and Brad is more proficient in magic). But Leon makes-up by being a taskmaster that can improvise, adapt and overcome as many odd situations as possible.
