The 2017 novel by Yomu Mishima was adapted into a light novel in 2018, followed by a manga that same year. The light novel for the series is published in English by Seven Seas Entertainment, and a summary from the publisher can be found below.
Office worker Leon is reincarnated into a dating sim video game, where women reign supreme and only beautiful men have a seat at the table. But Leon has a secret weapon: he remembers everything from his past life, which includes a complete playthrough of the very game in which he is now trapped. Can Leon spark a revolution to change this new world order?
