Give this book a chance, you won't be disappointed.(This review is talking more about the previous book I read, if you noticed this is the edited version which is similar but a lot has happened before this one came) I didn't think much when I started reading, the first few chapters caught my attention, because I never read a book like this. (Again im talking about the first book) Then next thing I knew I was giving any Firestone's I had, I finished reading the whole book in 3 days thats how captivated I was. Once In a while I would get really annoyed by a bunch of toxic people who wouldn't give any good advice but just annoyed the Arthur. Slowly the Arthur felt the story was more work then it was worth. I was totally unaware because I was so focused on how good the story was, the grammar the plot, jokes basically everything. So when I got to the last chapter I was shocked to know the Arthur had enough and was not writing anymore. So I stopped giving Firestone's (I think I gave maybe 4-5 before I got to the last chapter) and sadly moved on. I was so inspired that I started writing again (I soon gave up again lol school) but oh and behold the Arthur has returned!!! I I'm so happy to have him back. I can't recommend this book enough! ^=^ hopefully my book can reach the same standard as this. I hope future readers will be glad to have this art and appreciate it for what it is. A great story waiting to be read. \(^=^)/

For those who decided to skip the Long Description in the Synopsis, I wonder why you are so impatient... Let’s get things straight about this story of mine. It is NOT a Power Fantasy and I did not use a ‘template’ Main Character that only exists as the stand-in for the reader him/herself. This is a story about a reincarnated eighty year old soldier who gets his second chance in a Isekai. There are many questions I get whenever people question my artistic choice, so I’ll list them out below: Q1- Why did I make his age so great when he acts like a kid? This level of maturity doesn’t fit an ‘eighty year old’. A1- A person’s level of maturity isn’t equivalent to their age. There are many reasons for him to act this way. Q2- Why does he criticise his decisions so often? A2- He grew up with a mindset that makes him never be content with what he has. Always thinking of ‘perfection’. Q3- Why did Enigma make him so weak? A3- To hide him from the other, more real ‘Gods’. This is also the kind of story where he progresses in strength every Arc as the stakes get larger and larger. The only time this story will end is when he reaches Godhood. Q4- Why did I ignore the overarching plot and make him waste his time doing normal training for 50 chapters? A4- It is better this way as you get to have a better understanding of the world and characters through his own eyes. It is the reason I chose doing this story in First Person Perspective rather than Third Person Perspective. Q5- Are his internal struggles THAT important? He looks really wimpy when he whines about life so often. A5- Because I wanted to do a more realistic take on the Reincarnation Trope and how adapting to a foreign mindset that says ‘murder is okay under certain conditions’ would be really hard. I don’t know about Japan but we British people are taught that ‘murder is NOT okay under any circumstances’ and that violence like that should be left for games. You can’t realistically adapt to a foreign world with a different common sense so easily, even with ten years. Think of the Main Character as Kaneki from Tokyo Ghoul except his ‘ghoul instincts’ are his past habits and his conscience is what he adapted into. Even though Keneki was always crying and puking his guts out in the beginning of the story, he was a lot more realistic than the white-haired Edge Lord who came after (Anime version) that no longer struggles with his inner demons or the world. Rather than creating a character who accepts the world as it is, I wanted to make a character who defies common tropes and ‘defines himself’ through his action instead of his thoughts. After all, I truly believe that it is actions that define a person for who they are in the world. The 1st Arc has the main character succeed in adapting to the world, the 2nd Arc is how his conscience and common sense subtly get into conflicts, while the 3rd Arc is a literal representation of how he defines himself regardless to the traumas or fears that have passed from his previous life. I hope tot guys like reading the story as I myself like writing it. It’s kinda become gender-bent in the current Arc but that is more symbolic than a gimmick thrown in there to add comedy. I hope this tale amuses you readers!

Glad to see that the author has picked this back up again. It is one of the best reincarnation stories i have ever read, almost to the point that i thought it was a translation lol. The tone is good, the writing flows. The grammar is on point. Beside the perspective i think everything is awesome. Can't wait to see how it turns out. Please don't bail out on us author san ;)
