Succeeding as a Knight in a Gender-Reversal Game

I just couldn’t get into this novel. It is not poisonous (no beta MC, no “follow the plot” trope, no tsunderes, no “hide my powers” because “reasons,” etc), but it is like the stereotypical gender reverse world novel (i.e., poorly done), just with more attempted comedic reverse r@pe scenes (which fail). Basically, this is a generic OP MC academy harem story that simply uses gender reversal (i) as an explanation for why all the women are h@rny all the time, (ii) to allow the author to avoid dealing with any legit male characters other than the MC, and (iii) as the basis for comedy – in other words, not really a gender reverse world story at all, but just a crutch used by the author for an uncreative story.

And while of course this is an MTL, I think I have gotten to the point when I can tell when one of these novels is just poorly written – which this novel seems to be. It reads as if it were written by a 15 year old who received failing grades in literature.
