I love how cold, analytical, detached and emotionless the MC is. Or at least that's what the creators were obviously going for.
They're my favorite kind of character. Too bad this story is making the MC's actions out to be VERY stupid. The creator is NOT creative. There are so many cool ways to work MC's abilities and many other ways for him to level up but we see absolutely none of it.
MC is like a robot. He does absolutely NOTHING outside of his programing aka his "memories" from a different life. He does NOT deviate when the situation clearly calls out for it so, predictably, by literally every comment on every site I've seen this one, MC is always on the defensive. Or worse, remains passive.
With better utilization of his abilities there's zero reasons why he needs to suffer from mana inadequacies or mana potion addiction. The creator/writer just has to choose the dumbest reasons possible to make him that way.
Right now the "bad guy" is finally given some agency and a personality (sort of) but even with so little to go on he's a lot more interesting than just about everyone else. Combined. That includes the MC.
So well I like the premise of this I am not really liking a lot about it maybe it'll get better as a progressive but for now I'm not even liking how they're paneling the battles and and I'm not really connecting with any of the characters because they're not really doing a lot of character development as is normal at the beginning
Yuri apart, which still is very sweet, the characters feel so real, even with the sweetness and fluffy they act like people, the problems are some that kids and adults would deal with and the resolutions are in a way normal but still have such meaning because they are so simple.
Hope to see more of this.
