Alex Quill went back in time, and now he has a second chance to get everything right. He will no longer be a failure in life; instead, he will profit from his future knowledge... or so he thought.
The only disadvantage is that, while he did travel back in time, he did not arrive at the location he expected.
Everything is strange; the women act strangely, as do the men... does that girl have cat ears? huh? Is there magic?!
(The pace is slow)
Some real top tier writing in this one. MC acts like a real person would in his situation, at least more so than other protags of this genre. He may seem like the typical "dense harem protagonist" at the surface level, but he simply falls into the "normalcy bias" like 90% of people would; he can't process information too far outside his experienced reality: his lived "normalcy". MC isn't dense or dumb, he just can't immediately cope with a complete upheaval of everything he has known his entire life. Definitely worth the read.
EDIT: Had to seriously lower the rating. The pacing is horrible. 20 chapters in and we're not even through the 1st half of the 1st day, and not a single major development. I understand wanting to take your time and really develop the characters and setting, but this is just insultingly uneventful and slow at this point. The content is interesting (the magic is unique and original), but nothing is happening, the cardinal sin of creative writing. If 3 or 4 chapters were combined together, maybe the pacing would seem more appropriate, for example chapters 16-19 only contain 1 chapter worth of progression.

Pacing is actually a serious problem. Just a bunch of nothing happening. Yes, world building is important but that can be done while driving the plot. Also, I couldn’t suspend disbelief over the whole beauty and ugliness also getting flipped. That part felt too much of a stretch and was completely unescessary.

Great story! Has some of the best world building and interactions I’ve seen in this genre so far. Only problem I have is pacing, there is very little time passing in each chapter and sometimes it feels like nothing is really happening, like in the chapter where he played video games with his sister for the entire chapter

Great writing. Excellent world building.
Chapters are painfully short so it feels like everything is moving slower than it actually is.
Every chapter is only half a scene at most.

I am really enjoying the story with an MC that is clearly overwhelmed in an "Isekai" World. Where he takes the place of somebody else and he doesn't try to stand out too much, but still learns about the ins and outs of the reversed World and about who was the person he was before. Until now the story reads really great. The pacing of the story ins’t bad, but slow. I feel like many people on Scribblehub don't understand the diffrence. Slow writing is when the story takes it's time and bad pacing is when the story jumps from fast to slow and back again.

I am enjoying it, pacing is too slow imo, I would still read it though. If there was more chapters it would be great. I like that even though they are only once a week the chapter ls are consistent. I have been reading one chapter a week of this since chapter 17 I think
I'd give it 4.5 stars

Great story so far! Probably my favorite take on the reverse world trope. (If you're just looking for some quick smut this probably isn't what you're looking for.)

Well the pacing is quite slow (as mentioned in the description), but is still very enjoyable. :)
