I'm quite a bit surprised by how much I'm enjoying this story. I definitely got what I expected, but I also got a bit more as well. I've only read the first volume, and I definitely rate what I've read as above average. There aren't too many issues with grammar/mechanics of the writing, and a couple instances of using the wrong word that is similar in spelling but different in meaning. One thing I particularly enjoy is how Nux actually drives the plot forward, and I'm not just talking about the spicy scenes. It's nice to have a character with goals and objectives. I'm not sure how things turn out with the ladies of the harem later, but I do have a criticism that they don't seem to be particularly active in whatever goals that they might have. Seeing as our perspective character is primarily Nux, it's not always the easiest to show something like that, and it may not be entirely necessary for this type of a story, however, as an addict of reading, and a lover of writing it's always nice to see storytelling fundamentals improve. Overall, what I have read thus far does a good job to keep me interested in reading more and seeing more of what this world has to offer as well as how our MC will interact with it. I'm curious to see how he might deal with set backs. What he can gain from failure. How I can cheer for him when he succeeds. Also, of course how exciting the spicy scenes can get.

All netorare is cheating, not all cheating is netorare.

I know very well what Netorare is mate. That moment comes close. It is not the bone fide thing.

I guess? It doesn't continue like that though.

That is not correct usage of the word netorare. First off it was pretty well in character for her to spite him like that for completely disappearing like he did, and second she has mostly only used him as a way to cultivate her power. She lusts for him because he's hot. She doesn't really love him.

This is a story that just gets better as time goes on. The MC is very intelligent and cunning, however, that doesn't mean he wins all the time which keeps the story from growing stale, and even some of his victories come at a cost. He grows stronger as time passes and comes up against harder and harder challenges that test his limits every time. I think I have reread this from the beginning at least five times. Every time I fully enjoy it. It may not be quite a masterpiece, but I am tempted to call it one with the quality of storytelling that is there.

You should check out Reverend Insanity too if you like this kind of MC.
