pluckaduck's manga / #Reincarnation(180)

damnn this is truly funny. mc met a guy who is to be the professor of a prestigious academy. the man as mentioned earlier is killed, and out of necessity, he takes on the man's identity and job. lmao and it turns out the man is a high-ranking member of a secret organization. he is suddenly thrown into a conspiracy (members of the academy were killed) along with the predicament that he must not let his true identity to known. edit: let's hope for no "females fawning over mc" route, cuz all the potential side charas r all female. shame. edit: eh one guy that's not going to despise mc for no reason edit: i love the little illustrations at the end of each chapters. anyway, it's better than i expected. most female side charas don't take up as much screentime as i thought. it's less about relationship ties with others and more about the secret society and fissures in soren and ss. as of ch 14.

ch 17. decent story with a mixture of dungeons/regression and family elements, albeit it's more like simping over the daughter. all decent charas simp over the little girl. other than the addition of a cute daughter and wife, it's not much different from the other typical manhwas of this genre.

gioni or whatever (fifth prince)...he pisses me off, and he's only just been introduced. like, he's way too overprotective; what can a 5-yo do to harm his brother? how does a 5-yo have the mental capacity to scheme to harm his brother?? ch 9. its very confusing, like the author crammed a bunch of info(some not necessarily important; just filler) into a chapter. like, i don't care for it.

another airheaded and dense asf female lead, who claims she doesn't know if she was female or male in her past life, but knows other stuff about herself, such as her hobbies, and the fact she was over 30 yo...then in ch 5.3 after roland saves her, she's like "i think imma fall for him!" .....bruh, he's 8-12 yo.

the mc, despite living as the villainess in automode 5 times, still retained her pure kind good nature. the trauma of her past resulted in her caring deeply for genuine human relations, such as with Keith (her best friend and likely the ml, a commoner) and elle and primera. she's also more in tune with people's emotions, and she does give them some weight, like the good person she is, so long as they don't cross boundaries. there's no romance yet (ch 28), and the original otome targets are actually of little significance to the mc, and in extension, the plot rn (well, maybe bc the heroine hadn't arrived yet). of course, despite not having a lot of screentime, they are interesting charas who met mc as children offscreen... and it didn't go that cliched route of everyone falling for her, which was interesting (her mutual nemesis is one she met as a child, he's not reviling, but he's not great either, for hating mc unreasonably). that being said, the mc was considerably patient and thoughtful for that annoying woman who stubbornly wanted to compete against mc. so it was cathartic when she finally got angry and told her off. but she's hella stupid for not suspecting that twin pigtails girl.

tbh theres not much action, just mc's manipulation in influencing other people towards a better future. he is the guy on the back, providing ideas from his future to his colleagues, and not at the forefront to lead. whilst mentions of his past are short and scarce, it does show how miserable it was and that the shackles will likely not disappear. it is the reason why he's so driven, after all! ch 55. finally that guy, who can be considered a minor villain, took the bait! i must say the manhwa is rather slower-paced, but it's really cathartic that way.
