An enjoyable read. I highly recommend it.5/5 Translation Quality. EatApplePie is a top tier translation/proofreading team and I want to offer my sincere thanks to them. It's rare to read something without worrying about grammatical mistakes or odd typos to break immersion.5/5 Writing & Characterisation. Bo Myung is an incredibly sympathetic character and the author does a great job in conveying his determination to succeed and overcome the demons from his first life; a childhood marred with bullying, only to have the effects reverberate years into the future. It's such a poignant theme, especially if you've had similar experiences with bullying/ab*se.Most isekais use the protagonist as a reader-surrogate but, as the chapters unfold, Bo Myung's reactions are incredibly realistic. Feeling guilty when using Do Wook's money; the bittersweet jealousy when he learnt that Do Wook's parents were well-off enough to support his career choice, whereas Bo Myung's parents did everything they could for him despite being poor.One scene stood out to me: Spoiler
Bo Myung's parents bowing down in apology in the principal's office despite him being the victim. Seo Kang Jun who got away with intense bullying through his father's political sway and financial capital. This is the type of unfair reality we're introduced to, and it's such a strong premise.
