So I really like this novel but before I go into what I really like let me go into the reason why I gave this 4 stars.The MC is unbearably dense I can handle the MC being really dense but Ian is by far the densest MC I have ever read, girls confess to him multiple times and he's like "Oh It MuSt Be A mEtApHoR" And I'm like bro she's literally talking about her crush on you in front of you. He does slightly make up for this by being a bad*ss but the whiplash I get from seeing him calmly battle with his life on the line to the denseness of a black hole is astounding. Another thing that frustrated me is the situation with Emma. Like come on man you had a weird dream, you can't recall anything you did for the past week, and woke up with a strange letter but you're not even going to be a little skeptical of it? That just makes the MC look like an idiot since he should of at least followed her. But that's enough of a rant about the MC so I shall now transition into the stuff I like.I'm sure we're all suckers for second chances and will eat up anything half-decent as if it was the last food on earth. So this novel takes the second chance element and adds a mystery aspect to it. Unlike other MCs who get visions or their memories about the future Ian only has a Love Letter to go off of which can only have a limited amount of information. I'm assuming it was future Ian who possessed his body for over a week and heightened his sense and proficiency with a hatchet which is a nice touch since the future aspect actually aided him in a less direct way than SCOG did which I can admit felt very plot armory. This event is the catalyst for MC and Seria to meet and later come, friends, which is a good thing. Seria and MC's relationship is nice it honestly feels like a little brother and sister more than Ian's and Celine's since Seria ends up relying on MC more than Celine is ever shown to. There's not much to say it's an interesting concept that is executed excellently and I looked forward to the direction the author takes the world into.Now WAIFU TIME, so we got 4 so far 5 if you consider Elsie but she is too bratty for me she needs more development rn. First, we got Celine who basically fills the Childhood friend/Little sister role. I don't have too much to say since her character is fairly common, especially with her being jealous of Seria's increased time with MC. Kinda one dimensional right now since her character is solely around knowing the MC since childhood. Now Seria is by far the most focused girl so far in the story. She is lovely I like the contrast between how she appears and how she actually is which is a common trope but one I personally adore. Her social anxiety is cute but she is still strong well physically at least. She is starting to learn more about her emotions as she spends time with Ian since her family kind of made her repress those emotions and it's pretty obvious she isSpoiler
Head over heels for the MC but she just doesn't know it yet
[collapse] so no comment.Well, I think I said everything I wanted to say.Edit: Crap I forgot to mention author is excellent at writing action scenes its one of his strong points.
