Yen Press is publishing the light novel series and Yukari Higa's manga adaptation, and it describes the story:

Living in the world of Magical★Explorer, the legendary erotic game, sounds like a dream. Problem is, I reincarnated not as the lady-killer protagonist with his overpowered cheat skills, but as his unlucky comic-relief best friend!

The novel series debuted in February 2018 on the Shōsetsuka ni Narō website. Kadokawa began publishing the light novel series in November 2019. The 13th volume shipped on April 1.

The manga adaptation launched in Young Ace Up in August 2020. Kadokawa published the manga's third compiled book volume on January 8.
