my point is that it's pointless horny bullshit. was MC extremely sensually brushing his sister's teeth necessary? no. not commenting on the quality of the manga/anime overall

i think 8 is way too high for this story, to the point of being indulgent of all the bullshit it deals in, much like an ign review. an 8/10 on imdb is a good movie, a 6.5 is a mediocre movie. it's the difference between the Incredibles and Cars 3. 7 is the highest i think this story should be rated even if one was being generous; my disagreement isn't in the 7 part (which we agree on) but in the tier or range of quality this is in. it has too many things detracting from it and so it's closer to a 6 than an 8.

has harem = pointless read

too many side characters. the ML starts out interesting but, like all japanese males in manga, he cannot have any defining features that separate him from literally every insert-lead character in the industry. long hair and glasses becomes literally a indistinguishable from any other manga character. this story hates its own premise and becomes a mediocre school life slice of life after the first dozen chapters.

definitely would've been 10x better if it were yuri. green haired and glasses MLs are rare, but i felt MC had way more chemistry with her female friend

good except for dog butler ML. i hate romance existing between characters who are master/servant or master/slave. it's always scuffed; this manhwa doesn't take the power dynamic seriously.

No shade to your opinion overall, but 8 seems like an IGN score to me, given how the main character is actively awful for a lot of the story: intention>intelligence, romantically dense and a total bitch to the ML who is basically a perfect ML, and often borderline suicidal. it's like a 6.5-7/10 given how many frustrating things happen just so there can be more conflict and pad out the main conflict. Everything involving her most troublesome disciple is misery to read. I had the urge to drop so many times when reading how she treats disciple vs. ML.

yeah, even if she's sheltered and dumb, she should know some events or facts about the real world, but no, she is 16 years old the entire time through. authors wants her to regress to make up for her mistake, but she doesn't gain any maturity or real benefits despite becoming an adult. even if she's sheltered, it's a mistake in writing to keep her the exact same in terms of maturity

chinese homophobia ruins a great yuri.

This story has tension and good action, but the character decision-making is so bad and MC is way weaker than he should be given all the advantages he has. MC gets a new life but all his doubt and judgment from being a king just disappears because he has character growth and now loves everybody. How many experienced adult kings are naive and trust everyone they meet except for idiots who bully and fight him immediately? And it's not just him. This story nerfs every character's intelligence for the sake of drama and conflict. The amount of numbskullery and intentions>intelligence moments really hinders the quality of this story.

MC has like every power in the world and a crazy head start: he awakens as a toddler, is skilled in basically all magics and sword-fighting, has a shit-ton of past experience in leadership roles, and yet somehow he's a "sacrifice yourself and get grievously injured saving people every 20 chapters" type character. Having a flawed and weak-to-strong character is usually better for overall plot structure than OP from the start, but it's totally inconsistent with what he should be and his past. How does he have so many OP advantages, but he can still get injured or beaten by people his own age? Why does an OP character have to be so reliant on plot armor no jutsu? He struggles more than a typical MC in this genre, mostly because his intelligence is low. To make up for him always getting his ass kicked, the story gives us way too many yapper bullies who just self-destruct with their privileged stupidity, all to show how good MC is at beating guys weaker than him. The professors in the middle part of the story are irresponsible, negligent, shameless dumb bullies, and/or terrible at keeping their kids safe even in normal situations. The best part of the story is MC's character growth from a revenge-trope character to a good guy, but like I said, this comes with him being totally oblivious to anyone with even mild scheming tendencies.

This also has too much "hiding his full powers for 10 minutes before revealing what he can do" plotting. And him revealing his abilities always puts him in more danger. Because he's stupid, he then can't handle the heightened level of danger and gets his ass kicked or endangers those around him. Why is an experienced character like him totally incapable of handling anything unexpected? Any time something he doesn't anticipate happens, he ends up nearly dead. Every single time. If this guy didn't reincarnate with all his knowledge and whatever and was just a 12 year old kid genius, this story would be way better because it would fit well with the judgment and foresight we actually see from him. Him having a mental age of 50+ with his experience and abilities should make him a much stronger and more tactful character than he is.

Story: 6.5/10
Character: 5/10
Art (until art change): 7/10
Enjoyability: 7/10
Overall: 6.5/10

the romance in this is awful and when it takes the focus a few dozens chapters in, the pacing goes to absolute sh*t. dropped.

an op mc character with no stakes or even the pretense of drama. mc is so strong he could do anything immediately. a pointless read, as there is no real plot to speak of

This is a great casual read. A lot of similarities to Dungeon Reset which I also think is good. MC slowly levels up his farming skills with great support characters. Not a read with action or anything but entertaining anyway. Also, no harem (thank god)

naruto and one piece are not serious things. they both are filled with horny nosebleeds, filler nonsense, and goofing around

on rereading this story, read my own comment and said "what an idiot" before realizing i was the one who wrote it. you're definitely right; no idea what i was talking about

Man do korean authors love a contract premise even when it makes no sense at all

tired of the "genius" child regressor story trope. it's just creepy and everyone around such an MC would find it too creepy to ignore without suspecting possession or something

not a fan of these child genius stories where they bring so much attention to their adult intelligence. they always land on the extremely creepy side of "genius" to the point where it's not just suspicious but would cause major problems

who the heck would make business decisions based off what a 10 year old says? this guy seems like a terrible ceo

this manhwa makes such good use of mustaches
