i totally simp for mc. he's hilariously batshit crazy

he's the type of mc I loathe the most. also, istg these artists don't know how to draw clothes on women. it's annoying how they're trying to pronounce the chest and butt size. of course, there are clothes that are tight on the chest area but I really doubt women with common sense would wear that type of clothes on the job. regarding the plot: it's pretty much much what you expect from a plot that mostly focuses on harem and simple gratifications like face-slapping idiots. sigh, I know the creators produce this kind of comics targeted at young men, but I'm telling you, a well-thought-out plot with fabulous storytelling would bring in more readers from varying age groups and genders.

changed my rating to 4 stars. it's boring af and repetitive. mc is so obnoxious and annoying. the only sign of maturity is not being attracted to his friend's daughter... the bar is so low. the other charas are so fcking boring without brains as well. they either completely simp for mc or hates his guts, and the only in-between chara is his friend, who technically is on mc's side but he's not a simp. so he's made to be the joke and treated as comic relief that's not even funny. god, even when i do try to turn my brain off to read this, i would just be mindlessly scrolling thru this, not enjoying it at all.

hmm the art is good but the body and facial expressions are a bit stiff. I thought it was a bit cringe when he says cool phrases with a cool pose like "ill make them pay a hundredfold" or "I take my grudge to the grave and back" or "...it won't be easy" and it was presented in unnecessarily large panels too ...there's a lot more but I don't remember. anyway, the plot was a bit boring at first but it got more interesting at the arc with the near collapse electronic company.

ch. 10. hmm I'm not really connecting his past self to his current self. he's mentally a middle-aged man, but I don't really see it, except for being more knowledgable, able to talk boldly with intimidating adults, and a bit more mature than his physical age. sigh, it's like his mental age also regressed along with his physical age. like doesn't he ever think, "I've outgrown wasting my energy on this hateful brat, and will not deign to engage in meaningless fights." if there was a backstory that describes the entanglement with the people he hated in the first life (besides his ex-best friend) it could make readers sympathize with him more. also, despite holding his mother in great significance, she's just a useless character to me. she's just there. since she's really important to him, i thought he would request the duke to protect her safety from the first wife...well, ig not. now, regarding the side characters such as his half-bro, the first wife, the annoying knight. it would be nice if a backstory was provided that would explain why they are terrible to the point of being so nonchalant about killing a nine-year-old boy. most characters are boring and flat. if you want a story with simple gratification such as beating his annoying opponents who have nothing better to do except provoke him, this is pretty much it.
