*This contains no spoilers and was posted as of the completion of Volume One.* I say read it: I truthfully enjoy the writing. There are some genuinely beautiful and thought filled passages that I admire. The characters are quirky and with this review being only of only Volume 1 (currently only one published), the character cast is already developing their own individual arcs! I love the world building, and I’m excited to see what MC does within this world. The MC did some horrible things in his past life, and did his best in the modern life where he woke up to be a better person, to save lives rather than take or ruin them. Now that he’s been brought back to his first life, he is determined to help the people he wronged, as a form of atoning for all he did. He doesn’t expect forgiveness or pity. He wants to give back even while he acknowledges that he can’t escape the responsibility for the fact that he still did horrible things, no matter what he does to make up for such actions. It not being a pity party or characters *always easily forgiving him (some do, but even then it feels like there is valid, in-character reasons that allow them to put forward that forgiveness). That to me is important and rare to see in protagonists. They get to have “sins” and past actions erased, when in reality you always hold the actual responsibilty of what you did in your past, no matter what good you do to try and make amends in the future. That alone is worth reading in my eyes.
