So far the writing is mediocre and the author makes a lot of mistakes. He will say 1 thing in a chapter and then completely contradict himself in the other. Some things are not explained well, and the main character is weird.Character Analysis Rant:I was unsure whether to admire his determination or scoff at his folly and weakness. His mentality is one of a weak beta (understandable as he was just a peasant) who was brutalized until he became determined to get revenge. So far I didn't have an issue with that. In fact, I can admire someone weak striving to be stronger. But his approach is utterly s*upid and demonstrates his weak mind (beta male, sub tendencies, and just poor decision making).I can understand that he thinks he cannot run, and maybe that is true. I can understand that he needs to acquire certain resistances. But what he does just reeks of weakness. He allows himself to act pathetic to reenact the circumstances that he hated. Instead of playing along and training himself, he allows himself to be brutalized to gain it that way.And this might MIGHT have made sense, if he hadn't said one of his reasons. Part of the reason he does this is to ensure that his revenge is "justified." That by being brutalized AGAIN he can justify his revenge. This is s*upid and shows a weak spirit. 1. He already can see that the princess has not changed. 2. Even if he has gone back in time, it is only 4 years. She is still the same damn person. 3. WHY DOES HE ACTUALLY CARE? He was beaten, r*ped, starved, drugged, and just ab*sed for 4 years. WTF would anyone ANYONE ever want to give their ab*ser another chance. So rather than going the crazy alpha (which wouldn't fit), crazy broken (might work), or just determined and sad person route (would work) he is just a determined (when he can make up his damn mind) yet weak sub. This reeks of a weak character, but is probably because the writer is Japanese and is trying to justify the MC's actions with weak Japanese "Sensibilities." That seems to be the best explanation as the hentai is off screen and fade to black, the MC seems to kill people randomly with seemingly no consistent logic, and the MC seems to be unable to make up his mind over whether to get revenge or not. He says he definitely will, and then the next sentence says well maybe not.He decides to kill a soldier for harassing (propositioning) one of his girls but he decides to allow the soldier to hit him once, just to make it fair? What? He then kills the soldier. But a few chapters earlier one of his other girls was literally about to be chloroformed and he just hit the attacker. Did not even kill him.One of his potential targets literally r*pes little boys and then kills them so they never grow old and out of their "beauty." Said target r*ped the MC. The MC decides well maybe he is different in this timeline and shouldn't be killed. WTF.
