A great fanfiction remix. Instead of being a modern piece, this takes place in Japan's Heian era (794-1185 AD). I was initially interested in the time regression aspect of it, to see how the world changed compared to the dime a dozen modern era ones. However, the characters and dialog are what really kept me sticking around. 

Interactions seem natural and flow really well (apart from the main characters unhealthy obsession with Sakuna.) There's a sense of purpose to what the MC does and a hard-set personality the MC doesn't stray from. He is relatively on the side of good but can commit acts of evil with heavy emotional recoil if it's for his survival and peace.

The romance aspect of it isn't well explored but I'm hoping with later chapters that it's expanded on. It's cozy where it's at but the MC doesn't feel all that committed yet. His love of deer is more explored than his romantic interests.

Overall, I'm giving it 4 stars since there is no 4.5. It would be 5 if it ever gets to completion and/or is something i'll reread.

Absolute peak, immediately going into my absolutely based list and whoever gives this less than a 5 needs to get a pair of glasses. The world building, characters, grammar, interactions, foreshadowing--it's all so well written you can't even complain about the upload rate. You just feel utter satisfaction from reading a chapter and await the next. Truly, peak fiction
