Sigh. Forgive me. I think you're not going to like it, but for the most part of the first volume, the MC will take on the back seat and one of the most passive roles for plot purposes. So brain cells will leave him from time to time with full lucidity only in some chapters. For your sake, I suggest returning after the first volume ends, around chapter 90 if you would like to give this story a shot or not. That's the time when the MC will kill whoever he wants while pretending to be weak and backstab those who are stronger than him. I'm still an amateur writer with limited vocabulary, so I'm slow, and this story might not be the cup of tea you prefer.  I have high hopes for this personal project, gathering inspiration from multiple sources to create it. If you want the shortest description of how I would describe this story, it will be mainly progression and: Legendary Mechanic meets Lord of Mysteries and Reverend Insanity with Clannad breathing down the neck. It is ambitious, I know, but I want all of these worlds combined, and this is my take on it.

Hi, this might be long, and you will never read it again, but I just want to point this one out. Fang Yuan, whom we idolize, was more than five centuries old. Just remember how he dealt with the new world in his first life before his first regression. I just want to point out that the Ash here had his memories played with, and it's still not clear if his personality was also tampered with, something Fang Yuan was fortunate enough NOT to experience on his arrival. PS: This is not one of those novels where the MC will instantly know that he or she will want to rule the world, become immortal, and hunt a specific antagonist or organization into oblivion. This is a slow-progression type that will build up on what the protagonist will learn about the new world. A genre not popular in webnovel, I believe. I'm glad you pointed it out because it was what I was going for, but my question is, is it too much? I appreciate the feedback btw. Thank you.
