While the concept of the novel has many elements of self-insertion, overall I think it's very well written despite that.The main character while bland is active enough. The main focus is on the characters around him, the side characters are the bread and butter of the novel. It's like watching a reaction video, you already know about the video (the average bland MC that appears in every isekai) but you watch it for the reaction of the person watching (the side characters interacting with the MC).The reasons for why the side characters are interested in the MC is also well-defined. He's decently attractive, has a defining physical trait (his red hair), has an interesting reputation (son of the red lion), and he's also unique personality-wise (mostly because reincarnated).Overall I recommend it. Though you'll have to go through 35 chapters of edited MTL first. Onward soldier.
