If a hero that could save everyone appeared Id do all I can to support his cause. I failed to become a hero or a main character. Leon fou Bartfort to Luxion from Ch. 63 Reckoning The World of Otome Games is Tough for Mobs or MobuSeka isnt just another isekai mangaits an exploration of selfworth through its protagonist Leon Fou Bartfort a character whose battle with impostor syndrome and selfesteem resonates deeply with readers like myself. Leons journey marked by cynical humor and emotional vulnerability mirrors the quiet struggles many face when feeling like a mob character in their own lives. Leons reincarnation into an otome game world as a nameless mob character sets the stage for his internal conflict. Despite gaining power status and admiration he clings to the belief that hes an unremarkable fraud undeserving of his achievements. His selfdeprecating humor Im just a coward who only fights battles I can win masks a deeper insecurity: the fear that hes stolen someone elses destiny. This is most evident in his guilt over taking Luxionan AI meant for the games heroineand his reluctance to accept romantic affection as if love and success are reserved for main characters. Leons fixation on the games original plot reflects his struggle to reconcile his role in a world he views as predetermined. He dismisses his impact insisting his actions are mere disruptions to a scripted narrative. Yet every life he saves and every battle he wins chips away at this facade. His PTSD after the final fight against the Principality of Fanoss in the Kingdom Archaunted by floating wreckage and lives lostreveals a raw humanity. He blames himself for casualties not as a hero but as an incompetent mob echoing the crushing guilt of feeling unqualified despite outward success. Leons journey is painfully relatable for me. His tendency to downplay achievements I didnt do anything special or attribute success to luck I just prepared thoroughly mirrors the internal monologue of anyone whos ever felt like a fraud. His denial of affection from characters like Angie or Liviainterpreting their care as misplaced or temporaryparallels how selfdoubt can sabotage real relationships. Even his scheming often dismissed as cowardice is a survival mechanism familiar to those who overprepare to compensate for feeling inadequate. What makes Leon compelling is his duality: a strategic genius who sees himself as an outsider. His growth isnt about overcoming enemies but confronting his own selfperception. When he silently crushes adversaries who mock his loved ones we see glimpses of selfworth breaking through his mob complex. His arc isnt a triumphant rise to confidence but a messy ongoing battleone that validates readers who similarly oscillate between doubt and determination. As someone whos wrestled with impostor syndrome in college Leons story struck a chord. His moments of vulnerabilitylike doubting his teamaking efforts super wholesome moment with his teacher or recoiling from praisereminded me of times Ive minimized my own accomplishments. Yet his resilience offers hope. Leon teaches that selfworth isnt about fitting into predefined roles hero or mob but embracing your impact however messy. MobuSeka is more than just your typical isekai harem its a story about identity and belonging. Through the eyes of Leon we learn that hes more than just your average mob character hes a mirror for anyone whos ever felt like an outsider in their own story. For those whove questioned their worth or felt like a mob in a world of main characters this manga is a reminder: sometimes the most profound heroes are the ones who dont realize theyve already become extraordinary. Rating: 8.7/10 Definitely a mustread for anyone whos ever felt like theyre faking it until they make it. If you like isekais harems romcoms with a fantasy background this is up your alley
