OK the good the bad and the ugly!

1 The good! It is well written, good grammar, and a good plot. I will continue to follow this great story!

2 The bad! The MC is so smart and likable but he is a retard when it comes to girls.

3 The ugly! Based on the MC and the tags the author has put up this is a fake harem.. I.E. dense protagonist that probably will star in the movie the 40 year old virgin... so do not expect him to have s*xy time!

Despite ponts 2 and 3 I love this story!

Reviewer / user TDM  says it quite well.

This is a face slapping novel. I has the elements, of second chance / do-over / return to the past qualities. Coupled with the famous Chinese school interactions (both in JP and China) of a rich person. Honestly better than most of the actual Chinese one's, but... (I'm not going to mention it). I'm not surprised people find it boring, but grammar, pacing and story is good. This is really oriented towards a specific reader / niche. Author has some cool ideas though.

I like second chance

I like villain

But not this one.

1. He said his family blah.... Corporation and have butler. If you have money gave to gangster or what to beat long something (he afraid everyone suspect him - idiot as long as no one have a proof or he just ned to not go to school)

2. This should be second chance, but the moron and mongrel the son of poor family MC was, he just endured being bully in school. If you rich and your family powerful why every mob bully you? Illogical. His family was poor villager not corporation sh*t. 

3. This should be second chance, but until 48 chap he just did 2 things, cut his hair and study, so his father could saving money when he go to college. His family poor

4. This should be second chance, yet he still pathetic where everyone bully him, villain speak with fist (of course others fist, asking soemone to beat his enemy)

5. This should be second chance, again no revenge mode and no hating someone, just smile and acting like he and his murdered as stranger

6. MC persona was sh*t licking dog, loser, coward, what he do is simple (absent from class stomachache from playing ps5 and give someone money to beat the enemy and throw him in river and still absent from school until 1 month and no one gonna ask you as long as no proof)

Good premise, poorly implemented, short chapters with some less than a thousand words, little actual substance, poor pacing, unlikable MC with a beta personality, no use of future knowledge, and generally a bit boring since nothing is happening. It could be good if it was condensed,   pacing was done better, he grows a spine, but overall its annoying to read.

So far the overall development is great between characters and the tone set. No grammatical errors from what I can see either. Only problem is the chapters are too short but the frequency of the updates makes up for it in a way. Lastly looking forward to how the romance is developed as there have been no hints towards any yet but from the pace it is looking promising.

Chapters are short but interesting. Didn't read the original so going to look forward to more.

Interested in the Yandede tag and looking forward to how it will be implemented.

I like this style, I will follow closely.

The 2nd chance concept is ok but there are a couple of problems with the execution.

1) Slight grammatical errors here and there, nothing too major

2) The protagonist somehow never picked up that his wife never loved him despite all the obvious signs which is highly immersion-breaking.

3) The story takes a while to start. At chapter 13 nothing really happens apart from people being surprised about the protagonist changing.

While this review may note that I've read only 46 chapters, I'm reviewing having also read the original draft through chapter 73.

Story: A second-chance reincarnation story that promises future revenge elements as well as mystery/intrigue and some love interest. Based on the opening chapters, where the protagonist, Lu Chen, is murdered (in his late 20s?) by his wife and her long-time lover, I definitely wouldn't categorize this as slice of life despite the fact that we haven't yet seen much else.  There hasn't yet been combat, cultivation, sports or magic (aside from reincarnation), but story has introduced martial artists who seem to be practicing at a near superhuman level and if somebody doesn't die... readers would likely riot. (Read the first two chapters and you will understand.) The story tags are fairly accurate, while I think the "dense protagonist" applies only to the preface chapters; "military" and "cooking" tags are the only ones I haven't seen yet.

Writing Style and Story: Intriguing and subtle. Detailed and character driven. Motivations for actions are readily apparent, such that readers can debate about what is actually happening until the author reveal.  Author shows emotion and thoughts of his characters and isn't often telling us what people think.

Characters: The main character is not obviously overpowered, but he does have advantages, some of which are only hinted at thus far. He is/was imperfect; some would call him a loser and thuggish when he was a teen; personally I think he was born rich but had few redeeming physical or mental attributes, was obsessed with his fiancé and childhood friend (who learned to resent him), and was unhealthily antisocial... he was repeatedly baited by a certain villain's stooges into acting rashly and ruined his reputation and face.  And ultimately he is betrayed in the worst way, and killed, by someone he loved and trusted.  But 2nd chance reincarnation allows him an opportunity to fix his mistakes. Supporting characters fall into standard romance categories, and Lu Chen will likely juggle several female relationships, resulting in humorous situations. All support characters are well done, but not terribly developed thus far. Also, there are a couple characters, pretty well developed, that readers will love to hate.

Grammar and Spelling: Decent and visibly improving.

Recommendation: High... 4.5 stars.
