My standards for isekai are generally low, I'm usually willing to read anything, but this still didn't reach them. Couldn't fet through 5 chapters of the novel. To summarize it - love story between a doormat and a pedofile. Honestly, good for them, let them keept each other and stay away form actual good people.

So the uke was an edgy emo overly panicked 13yo child the first time he got isekai-ed and was powerless (unlike other isekai-ed people) but kept quiet about being powerless because he was a child alone in a different world and ofcourse he was scared. the seme knight fell for him and kept ogling him but didn't touch him, instead he told (as all adults do, you know) to the scared child that he hates him and walked away, but the child dissapeared and when he shows up again all grown up he's not like "where the fuck were you are you ok???" no, he's all "i love you, you're so stupid and cute, let's be an item" cause why the fuck not.

on his side, the uke, after being told by his supposed bodyguard (woth whom he was on love with for reasons that the knight was handsome) that he is hated by everyone, bodyguard especially, got actually MURDERED. murdered. literally. attacked from behind and stabbed to death, but instead of dying he returned to his world and apparently for the last 15 years he belived the knight was the one that killed him. but nevertheless he was still crushing on the knight his whole adult life like the pushover he is and when they reunite he really os the most doormat idiot possible, giving away who he is immediately yet not realising all the clues the knight gave him telling him that HE FUCKING KNOWS WHO HE IS. i guess even the knight gives up on trying to lead this idiot to the answer and just tells him he knows he is the same person, and tells him he's been in love with him since he was a 13yo and has been looking for him all this time ( 4 years in fantasy world, years in which he not only looked all over for the uke, but also upgraded his rank by 100 because who cares if it makes sense, we need the seme to be a super extra ultra badass boss).

anyway, uke tells him that back then he got killed and thought the seme was the one who did it and you know what the seme tells him? spoiler, I already said it earlier. he actually goes "i wasn't me, i love you, had it been me I would've killed myself too after, now let's be together". where is the "what the fuck, you were killed?" part. WHEREEEE?

anyway that's where I stopped reading because i am way too old and have read way to many actual good stories to actually enjoy this stupidity. who knows, maybe the manga will be better, but I doubt I'll return. enjoy the future sex scenes I guess, hope some people will have fun
