Both the main characters are so well-developed, with fleshed-out backstories, personalities, and motivations. There are a lot of plot points and characters that seem cliche at a glance, but are given a depth that makes them anything but. The regression actually feels integral to the plot and not just thrown in as an excuse for MC to be wildly OP like it so often is. MC was definitely weak in his first life, and he regrets it, but he is not suddenly in a different position or an entirely different person--he has even more trauma from remembering his death (because who the hell wouldn't?) Struggling to take small steps to change both himself and the past is way more realistic, so I find myself rooting for him more.I feel like everyone was trying to adjust expectations with their reviews and warning that it's slow paced, but I personally feel like it's super exciting so far, so I don't know why? I'm really invested in what happens!Also translations for this are absolutely wonderful, EvelynAinsworth/Blessed Empyrean is an excellent writer!
