Character[]
The protagonist of this work. He is a pathetic arachnid virgin soy-sauce-faced fugitive who died by God's mistake. He was reincarnated with recovery magic that can heal anything except death and curses, and the ability to freely view his status. His inner monologue is almost a dirty ningen full of vile fantasies, but his words and actions are somehow sincere, and he plays a cool and active role.
Most of the characters start out with the worst first impressions, but their sincerity (although they appear to be calculating) and cheating abilities gradually build good relationships with both men and women alike. Because of his appearance, he has low self-esteem and is very cautious, so when he is favored as a romantic partner, he interprets it in a bad way.
He also sometimes gives others the impression that he does not know what they are thinking, perhaps because he has a habit of not showing his emotions. Since he goes by "Tanaka" throughout the book, he is never called by his first name. Or rather, he doesn't care that much about it.
Basically, the text is his monologue, but he often calls others by their nicknames. Although he is the main character, he is usually seen in the back in the cover illustration. In some episodes, he transforms into a beautiful girl. While seeking a stable life according to the Japanese code of conduct, he was given a title and created a town called "Dragon City" which developed into a territory and accepted adventurers and refugees.
Spoiler...
After final fight is over and they had a big party. Every girl trying to get Tanaka, But Tanaka pushed them away for he wants Edita-sensei (elf) coz she's virgin. Most of the epilogue is him walking around the party searching Edita-sensei meeting various characters, he met Edita-sensei but unable to convey his feelings, he went outside and The King met and ask him to marry princess. He postponed the answer by excusing himself to drink from a well, But he fell into it and died as a virgin. Met a God in a white room and about to get reincarnated with cheat, Tanaka asked to be made Ikemen and God asked whether he's sure about that and showed the girls surrounding the well and crying. Tanaka changed his mind and about to be returned to the previous world, But God said he's gonna let him rest for a while. He was returned to (possibly the future of) that world. In the form of summoned beast by a school boy
