I understand that. It's the memory sharing part that makes the reincarnation no longer a valid excuse to me. This very much depends on each individual's views, but to me, memories make up 99% of your personality. If the core is the same, and you suddenly share all the same memories as well, I find it vary unconvincing to see the different incarnations have such different personalities. Even if somehow the body made an enormous difference large enough to overcome all previous experiences, I still can't believe the characters would resemble the original anime ones in any way. A different worldview would result in a person adapting to the same situation in very different ways. Again, this is due to my view on what makes up a personality, and it's fairly pervasive in my beliefs, so I doubt I'd be convinced otherwise in anywhere near a short enough time for me to want to try in a conversation with a stramger online.
It wasn't the relationships or the lemons that prevented me from getting into the novel. It was how all the girls someone stayed in character despite remembering their past lives as a man. Even more so considering the whole memory sharing thing and how that too didn't seem to have had any impact on anyone's behavior. Basically, it doesn't actually feel like they are all him, nor does it seem like their past had much relavence. This isn't a complaint on your skill. I'm not entirely sure how I would write such a thing either. Make them the same, and the story would be boring. Make them different and it feels fake. In other words, cool concept, difficult to execute..
I gotta say, I get that plenty of people oppose yuri, but it is seriously wierd in this case. All of them are him. So imagine youself in that situation, but your "fragment" of you is one of the female versions. Suddenly, the sole male one expects you to only sleep with them and none of the other female yous. Would you agree? Why does only another fragment of you get to sleep with many people, but the "you" you does not? How is someone open enough to sleep with themselves supposed to be opposed to.... themselves sleeping with themselves? To put it bluntly, I can't possibly see someone in the MCs position successfully sleeping with the other women, yet preventing them from sleeping with each other. It's far less likely than even a normal harem that has a bunch of women happily be in the harem and have no jealousy at all towards each other. I couldn't really get past the very start of this story though. The story just seems off.
Well, if his Grandfather's head signals anything, that might not just be hair.
Everyone has different tastes. Personally, I love this sort of thing. I know a lot of people actually like when the MC has a power unlike that of anyone else. Most fics do a poor job of conveying how others react to said powers though.
He really needs to meet some normal old people. Acting like kids is pretty common for them. When you realize your time is coming to an end, you realize all those pretenses mean nothing.
Interesting. What was it called?
Actually, you technically did. Your review literally starts with the word "why. " He just didn't answer in a way you like (or very nicely).
