axima's manga / #Reincarnation(290)

Hovered between 3 and 4 stars. The ideas are there but execution leaves some to be desired. Like the ramifications of that time skip barely have time to sink in before we return to status quo, same with the beastmen getting kicked out. FL is also of the passive variety, which is a shame because she really has her moments like the motivation to help Lucien and when she got angry at the prince. At least she's otherwise an interesting character, her abandonment issues stemming from her past get some development. It's nice to have an FL that's not obsessed with not changing the story. ML is kind of a red flag but he does seem to realize his wrongs even if that scene was a little clumsy.

Love how they mixed regression with guide verse and how much more grounded it is compared to normal. You see them deal with the fallout of natural disasters, bombs, heck possibly war. MC is interesting, he really was a "villain" in his past life and now he wants to do better because as he was dying he realized that his actions never got him what he wanted and just made everybody more miserable. So he decides to spend his second life atoning by preventing major tragedies and doing what he can to make his love happy even if he knows it's unrequited.

It's reincarnation and guide verse, what more do you want? I like the more realistic military style. It's cool to see MC immediately go tell somebody when he realises he's in someone else's body. Not planning on telling his close partner that he's not dead isn't great but keeping secrets and running away is basically a requirement in the romance genre it seems and his reasons at least make sense since he doesn't totally want to leave him out to dry.

It has potential but their motivations don't really make sense right now. FL could just tell him she wants to marry for love instead of acting Sus about it and ML is kind of weird for not immediately accepting the information if he didn't want the marriage anyway?

Solid all rounder. What it lacks in action variety it makes up for with worldbuilding and so on. EDIT: Dropped. becomes kinda generic, are you really gonna do the dragon waifu claimed as "reward" trope?

It was great until the time skip but it's really dropping in quality now. She hasn't done anything for multiple chapters now yet it all falls in to place and she doesn't care about Zerkan anymore which is the one thing that made this unique. Is she just gonna go for the same running away/getting a divorce trope as everyone else and ignore that he has actual feelings for her that she went out of her way to nurture? EDIT: Dropped. She spent like half the ML's life leading him on and now that she doesn't need him anymore she's just decided to go back on her promise to get married. My girl you flirted with him and made sure he swore himself to you and now you're just gonna throw him out like trash? No thanks. It's right after he comes back from a WAR too.

I like it but it sort of feels melodramatic. They love each other but won't date for stupid reasons and even when they talk it doesn't really feel like they understand each other. I'd put this down as Josei but on mangago that's a de facto smut tag so I'm adding shoujo too just in case.

Could be really good. There's potential in the plot threads we currently have and I like that there's some side goals to work on between the main rebellion. MC is willing to change the plot when it's obviously awful (so many of them just leave abused kids BC they'll get saved later??). Love the ML and father.

So many hot guys in this one, between Leon and the two older brothers. Action is serviceable but drama is the main appeal. Will downgrade the rating if it looks like a harem.

I got excited at the title having her be proactive instead of running away but it's kinda mid. Although the translation doesn't help, and there might be one or two missing chapters. Idk what it is but the art doesn't quite look right even though it seems like the artist is skilled??
