This is a good story, but it started losing me over time, so I'd probably knock it down to 3/5 stars now...The premise is nice, and it's about a world where every fantasy race exists (as well as humans), but mostly look human, so it's hard to tell. Anyways he gets regressed into an angel by the same angel who failed to save the world, and now has to try to save the world. Basically, the angel failed because too many heroes became evil / sided with demons / gave up on saving humanity, and now MC has to try to change that. MC is a nice person, but it's also that his racial traits make him much nicer: there's a bit of charm floating around, he literally cannot swear, and he gets stronger by doing good deeds.This is NOT an action heavy story despite the world setup; it's about MC, an angel, trying to be a background/supporting influence on the heroes and prevent them from turning into villains. MC also has rapidly rising and falling levels of strength depending on the good deeds he is doing, which is clever, but also may feel a little too deus-ex-stat-bonuses to some people. It's aiming for underdog but OP in situations type deal, but it leans a bit too heavy on the OP.Over time, this gets worse (past about chapter 100). To me, the enjoyment of the story was watching a character in a support role try to save the world, but after several complicated reveals the MC starts getting really strong in all aspects, which I think was a bad choice. So it slowly devolves from interestingly helping others and quietly interfering mostly out of sight to just another shounen fight fest, and the fights aren't that interesting. The romance aspect also gets increasingly weird, mostly because literally only MC is remotely sane and it's just kinda annoying.
