How I have not reviewed this before is beyond me so here goes a review dug from my memory 5-6 months ago.

This is one of the most ridiculous piece of inconsistent regression garbage I’ve read. The author decides on a plot point, but changes it later on in the story. The most ridiculous thing about it was how the author initially emphasizing that the mc’s fate can not be changed as events will still happen, which defeats the entire premise of a regression. However, I guess the author decided that it was stupid so the mc somehow changed his fate. Don’t worry, it gets more ridiculous as it expends the cliche tropes of an overpowered sibling + other characters with untapped potential. I can get over this but where I decided to finally draw a line was the lack of mc’s power balance, and the kid supporting cast. The mc is depicted as overpowered in one scene, but then his kid friends, whom he just taught, caught up to him/is on par. The hyper-fixation on the side characters really takes away from the thrill that the mc should be supplying in a regression story. The only good thing about this is the art, everything else is just average of painfully bad.
