The MC is cute, super smart academically but dumber than a sack of rocks. He's been reborn back to a younger age but thats just the authors catch. He's still a moron who has barely learned anything other than to stay away from his bit*h of a brother. He's had this whole past life where he has been used and ab*sed constantly and relentlessly by other people but still has no sense of self preservation to exercise wariness and lets himself (no not get himself) LETS HIMSELF in situations he could have easily avoided with some semblance of self awareness and some past life knowledge that apparently is only useful during hindsight. So the description that the MC is a baby is very accurate. Dude could probably drown himself on half filled cup of tea. But don't blame the character. The author wanted it that way.That aside the heartwarming moments are good enough to let all that pass to be an okay read. Granted to be honest I just skim and read parts because its a typical long winded chinese novel with so much made up words to fill some sort of quota.Reading instructions to help a reader gain a more favorable experience: (This will apply to most chinese novels) I find skipping most of the posted 1/8th of an actual chapter disguised as 2 parts, whose page is 80% ad space and the obligatory full page pop-up makes reading it more entertaining read 3 to 4 sentences of the first part of the few paragraphs disguised as a chapter, read 1 or so sentences on the next parts or so till you get to the 4th page the most important of which are at the bottom, you can ignore the rest most of the time and it feels more coherent, weirdly enough. Because you'll soon find out the other parts of a part of a chapter is just word vomit and usually a repetition of the first chapter just written with different words when their not feeling particularly shameless.In summary its an ok enough light read (light if you follow the reading instructions, heavy if you insist in reading all of the falsely labeled segmented chapter hoping it has actual world building value as the page loads and reloads more ads that take up half the screen of a "chapter" that would barely fill a phones screen or at most take half a swipe when using an ad blocker) with some great heart warming moments and villain face slapping (wish these books had the authors picture in the credits tbh) and a great philosophical journey into realizing why love and hate are two sides of the same coin.
