So far, this story is actually pretty good. The magic system feels unique, the author actually put some thought into it instead of just going with the regular stuff. The MC is also fine, though nothing special.The monsters are also not just your typical goblin-orc-whatever and they seem to be kinda smart, so the MC can't just steamroll them despite having a lot of magic power.The flow is also pretty decent, the passage of time neither feels too slow or too fast, I think the author got it right and the new elements to the story are also introduced in a good pace which keeps it interesting but easy to follow.BUT what the hell is with these parents?! The mc's mother and father are acting like as if they were high on something, and badly. They are extremely slow and feels like they can't even process what's happening around them. Even though the father is a high-ranking exorcist with a lot of experience, he comes off as a total incompetent who's just staring out of his head while drooling.The MC goes to work with his father and he's expected to contribute but the father doesn't even explain what they can expect, even his colleague is surprised why he didn't explain the fundamentals, he's not sharing basic information and gets caught off guard all the time. The mother is also on something. MC defeats a high ranking monster that unfortunately blows up half their house, the mother is standing close by. After the monster is defeated, she asks the MC whether the monster ran away. Dude wtf. Before that the MC tells her to get away because the monster can one-shot her but she starts arguing while it's apparent that she cannot do anything in that situation other than running away.They are in a constant state of incomprehension, they remind me of zombies. The small kids (who are not reincarnated so they really are just normal kids) have more presence of mind than the mc's parents.
