A loser with no attachment to his old life gets summoned to another world to be its hero--and then is betrayed, realizing only at the end how badly his friends in this new world had been treated by the 'allies' that were around him at the end. He then awakens as a six-year-old, ten years before the summoning. Why's he a loser with no attachments? Because back on Earth his family and allies were peeled away in a succession of accidents, murder, and coercion. An elite life of a "young lord" had been taken away from him, and he didn't even know it. Why not take him only back to the time of his summoning? Because he wasn't that OP--as a hero he was a meathead, because a sword was good enough for the Demon King's army. The humans that summoned him would see through him, see that that he hated them, and then would've just overpowered him with magic and delayed their plans. The MC needs to unfuck his past, get re-summoned to be a hero, and then protect his friends in the new world while pretending to go along with people he knows will betray him after he succeeds in what he knows to be an unjust war. I like how the author is taking the MC's problems seriously. Fifth stars are reserved for a beastgirl waifu. An elf can come too. Complaints you'll have/notice: 1. elite six-year-olds are smart and act like adults. The MC in particular has to re-learn acting like a brat. Personally I think that intelligence varies a lot more between people than between ages (stupid people are stupid their whole lives; smart people are smart their whole lives) and aren't bothered by this, but lots of people are. 2. at C101, all chapters but the first few have taken place in the 'past', and there's been only one two-year time skip. You're not going to see a beastgirl waifu for a while. IMO, whether this is bad or good depends ultimately on how long the story is. Ultimately the story may be 10% MILFs-from-the-past and 90% beastgirl-waifus. It's too early to be unhappy with the story. If you're bored by the MILFs, then you're just not compatible with this author and shouldn't expect a setting change to fix that.

LIKESorry to tell you, but the difference between ages doesn't matter much only after most of the brain is mature enough when a person is 15-17 years old. Up until then, the difference is huge. No matter how much of a genius you are, you will still be stupid and naive at 6 years old, because your brain just isn't formed completely yet.
