well, I powered through what was out so far and I have to say I'm not impressed. There will be vague spoilers in this review if you care about that sort of thing.


The most basic premise is good, and the whole reason I picked this up to begin with. Art is all right as well, and the theme of 'new beginnings' and 'giving life your all' is something I can get behind.

The execution was pretty disgusting though.
The thing reads like a basic male power fantasy with really gross pedophilic undertones (both in that the mc is literally 3-7 and lusting after women and the fact ... that he's sexualizing other very young characters. super gross. Also slightly incestuous considering the beginning where he's really into his mom's boobs and then later his cousin).
The main character has some traits that could be sympathetic, e.g. being quick to get discouraged in his past life, bullied harshly, and seeming to be a good person deep down (a la saving the guy from a truck).
But he's saturated in the most toxic elements of otaku culture and honestly pretty disgusting because of it.
he's literally a terribly written Mary Sue in this new life. Nothing really goes wrong for him, he's OP af (which I'm not totally against on it's own) , anyone who's mean to him is shown to be in the wrong, casually and easily manipulates all the flat characters around him, tone/attitude of superiority carried throughout.

also the very blase and flippant treatment of rape (the maid and his father??? in the past if not the present), the whole fuckery with Paul and how there were no repercussions from his cheating at all? w/e, the random torture-porn (in that she was violently beat up in a weird tonal shift, not that there was literal porn) scene with Eris when they were kidnapped, his occasional super gross pedo asides, NIPPLE LACE AND SUSPENDERS? (literally had to stop and take a moment to contemplate the absolute stupidity), and it's harem so u know it's gonna be shit.

I was pleasantly surprised at the treatment of the tutor when she left though. Even the stolen panty moment wasn't totally awful.

basically a really bad fanfiction. the only reason I even gave it a 3 is because the art was decent, it wasn't as visually/cliche Ecchi as it could have been, and I did actually manage to read through all the currently translated chapters.
