P.S.
- I may be editing this novel continuously and some times will need to change some details to accommodate later chapters.
- I am publishing this on RR and WN, but the first release is always here.

I added a ko-fi account, so if you want faster chapters, consider a little donation, It would help me a lot.

    Status: chapter 180: a new day

    This is my favourite story on Scribblehub. 

    It combines (a) excellent humour (b) thorough and interesting world building (c) an interesting MC who knows what he wants and (d) the fun of regression with the MC bringing a huge list of things he wants to do now that he's back in the past, plus a lot of knowledge and tricks to make it happen. The humour in particular is worth your reading time.

    In terms of downsides there are the occasional grammatical errors, which are absolutely no big deal, but not much else. I really love the story and hope Akaichi keeps going. Heck, if this ever turns into an eBook I'd buy it straight away. 

    One topic which other reviews bring us is that there is quite a lot of sidetracking - I don't see this as a downside. It more shows the MC's state of mind, coming back from the future and immediately and enthusiastically wanting to fix everything at once. It's actually very believable like that.

    One of the best story I read here. MC is smart and not beta like some of the other novels. MC will kill and control others for his goals, but is kind to his people. 

    Cons:  

    Cheat abit too OP

    MC collecting girls but still cant have s*x due to bullsh*t reason author gave.

    Yeah, no way. I don't know how so many people on this site are so in love with NTR, but as much as the author wants to deny it, he seems to enjoy NTR or the thought of it. This isn't even the most annoying. The story is CLAIMED to be around an 'OP MC' who has absurd authority in the 'system' the world has created... but in the first few chapters with ALL these advantages, the MC states he MIGHT have a chance to defend against the person who in his past life destroyed his family and took their bloodlines. It CLAIMS to be a story around an MC who controls things from the shadows, yet for an OP MC to have absolutely nothing done and who continuously gets screwed over from random SIDE CHARACTERS and having to resort to tricking people to follow some stupid system, he just gets WALKED ON for most of the story BY EVERYONE! By his family, side characters, fiancée who has cheated and yet he is still forced to be with, and its just absolutely ridiculous how far the author took it. I am baffled by how high the reviews are for the story, quite frankly.

    I like that there is a  lot of emphasis on story, but on the side there's harem as well. Looking forward to how story progress.

    Status: Chapter ⚛️ : The end.

    Good, but could be better. 

    Despite having a slow pace (in a matter of time, a few days have passed, but it's almost chapter 100...), but the story itself is quite hectic (a lot going on), which makes the pace of the story very interesting. Overall it has a lot of potential, although I have no idea how many heroines there will be, at least until the current chapter it seems to be raining and there are harbingers of more. Good luck managing this author.

    While the premise is good and plot seems to be interesting, the overall quality of this novel is being brought down by some major grammar mistakes and in general it would greatly benefit from some basic proof reading.

    Regardless of how good the novel is, something like that kept me bothering more and more, which is why I've decided to drop it after around 40 chapters.

    As I said before, the idea is good, but if you are going to write a novel, at least proof read it and fix some of the glaring mistakes before publishing it, regardless whether you aim to be professional writer or keep it only as a hobby.

    Status: chapter 361 : the justice ring

    Suggest some good novel on this site and leave a review so I can find it later

    Review as of 30/8/2023 and may contain spoilers so don't press read more

    I basically wrote a review to know a novel like this on this website and please tell me if you know one cause I only found this one worthy and good enough to read. 

    First of all my most fav characters excluding victor

    1. Margret 

    Man I just love her character, it's so well written by the author as every 4/5 people in the novel hate Margret and call her slut, bitch etc etc but most of the readers love her. Her character is so unique for example 

    Spoiler

    I may be a bitch but I am the richest bitch, not giving a f**k about what people call her

    [collapse]
    her character is a type I don't see in many novels, or even if it is there they fail to show its potential, where as Margret's character makes the readers want to see her in more scenes than other harem girls.

    One more interesting thing is that she has a very good sense of humour and can understand the humour of victor easily and she understands things very quickly which innocent or normal girls rather don't, well all thanks to her might slutty aura

    2. Alex 

    Once again a character written uniquely. A reverse trap or so I heard someone say it's called. Her interactions with Margret make me laugh most of the time and how she plans to take revenge on Margret but fears that that slut will do something more perverted if given a chance. And how she wants to love Vic but stops and how he knows and loves her and makes fun of her. She really is a funny character.

    3. Alpha

    From taking revenge -to being a subordinate -to finding victor interesting -to managing most of his work -to starting to fall for him -to missing him and yearning for him in her last moments -to finding him cute when she gets (thinks) powerful than him -to getting spanked her ass back to reality -to coming to love him. Her character has really developed all a lot. Her character is more like queen Medusa and is very likable.

    Status: chapter 310 : The Wedding Continues

    So, I started reading this story and I wasn't too impressed.  By chapter 30, I was ready to throw in the towel, so I gave the story 2* and wrote a rather critical review.

    But I figured I'd give it a few more chapters before I abandoned it completely.

    And I am glad that I did.

    The story is not great, but it is very entertaining and occasionally hilarious.  Some of the joke fall flat and others are beaten like a dead horse, but there is a lot of imagination and creativity in the plot and characters.

    So I recommend this story.  Its not high quality literature, but it should provide hours of entertainment, which is more like most stories can do.

    Original Review @ Chapter 30

    There are some stories that are so bad that they are hilariously good.

    Unfortunately, this story isn't one of those.

    The author seems incapable of making characters who aren't caricatures.  It's like walking through a fun house and watching as your images are warped out of shape by the twisted mirrors.

    The MC is dumb as a rock and wouldn't know subtlety or cunning if it bit him on the ass.

    I'm hoping the story gets better - if it does, I'll change the review.  But I'm not very hopeful that that will occur.

    Really like the novel, hope it will continue for a long time.

    Love the whole scummy/scheming MC that loves his family.

    Very interesting harem, I keep my fingers crossed the author will continue to flesh out the main members a bit outside of their relation to the MC like he did with

    Good pacing overall, not too drawn out but gives room to get to know characters better.
