140 chapters in. I really don't understand how this novel is ranked so highly. Its about as lowest common denominator as it gets, and the MC is a naive weirdo. I don't feel any conflict or drama at all while reading. There is no tension whatsoever.
The MC sort of just bumbles his way through everything. Even things that should be sources of conflict (like being made a slave), are explained away and end up in his favor... He has an opportunity for character growth when his grandfather sends him to see the underbelly of the world. The result is he becomes a catatonic, only to be returned to his naive and carefree self, seemingly having learned nothing in the process. He is supposed to be 18 when he died the first time, and now has lived for 14 more years, but he acts like a 12 year old.
Having read comments that say his harem becomes a burden and the author continues to make him weaker than he really is (like he did with the mana seal in the early chapters) it doesn't look any better.
