I'm sorry I'm with everyone else. New twist to the start. Even 5 chapters in I was very interested, but honestly if there's anything refreshing or new it's that the mc is strong and he knows he is also isn't scared to show it. Might not sound different or a big deal to you, but out of all the novels and manga I've read it's a huge occurrence that's annoying. What is really annoying is the contradictions and the bland parts. Where the twists and turns come up and the mc just waved them off. It's like saying. Meh who cares about that. It's doesn't make you build anticipation it just pisses you off. one. His whole reincarnation was just a breeze of 3 panels to 6 years old you find out a few details here and there  what about his circumstances we know like 3 things total.   who is his mother? Like at all. Even to quarter of the manga in I still can't tell you anything besides her race and she is important in some way.  his mother has many children but that's about a panels worth of explanation he gets thrown. (Literally) into the first heroine and you find minor details for 5 chapters like I understand this isn't a novel but it's kinda infuriating to know next to nothing and have no signs of such things being alleviated. This might just be my bitching but I think it's kinda important no?  There's several contradictions already and it's not fun to see them just building up for no reason. He is trained by an obvious superior person and taught the world for years but he has zero common sense and knowledge about any of it... at all? How?? He's horny wants to go to the red light district like a man, but within 2 panels his one and only female friend comes onto him but now he's a 5 year old scared of cooties? How does that make sense??  I think it's leaves a lot to be desired. Just my opinion. And it's seems it's shared at least with some

The story starts off with an interesting twist to the whole reincarnated and isekai series. however, the characters felt so bland and so underdeveloped that it made me pessimistic for the rest of the story. The intelligence of the main character is questionable, the characters are unlikable and its frustratingly bad. Wouldn't recommend it unless you just want to read a story about an op mc.

So after reading this manga I just have to vent here a bit about the terrible lesson it tried to teach.  So we have a standard isekai with some relatively nice art and interesting enough characters. The hook is that the MC is a daydreamer and that he has to overcome his weird way of thinking lets say. Sure, why not.  At the start we get a relatively generic isekai with him becoming and adventurer, finding a female companion and being op. While characters give him lessons, either about the world or the way he views it as a game and fights arrogantly. Sure, fine.  While not exactly great it managed to keep my attention until they introduced another common trope. Slavery. However, this time they did something unexpected. They introduced a group of characters who disliked slavery (and generally disliked the inequality of feudal society, or that merchants were beating a child that stole their jewel). Right away I knew I would have to vent somewhere because this arc was such a mess.  Firstly it started with the merchants beating a child and MC was stopped by his companions - aka the ones that were supposed to teach him to not be a "daydreamer"  -  from helping because he didn't know why those adult man were beating a child, maybe it deserved it or some shit.  And then a group of people (called Blue justice) yell at the merchants to stop and even call out MC for not stopping them himself. A slew of generic nonarguments (mostly arrogant and condescending "don't you force your values on other") were thrown at Blue justice. The group was painted as naive weirdos who meddled into people's lives by helping the poor. Very standard anti-activist stereotype.Well then the whole arc revolved around slavery and Blue justice was against it, they were stopped by mercenaries or soldiers from trying to force slavers to release the slaves. The MC was mostly passive and not caring just thinking of them as cringe, naive, stupid etc. The side characters on the MC side were mostly reluctant about slavery, nobody owned a slave but they mostly viewed it as legal business and maybe a type of punishment. This on its own is fine of course, the problem is about the message about the story. It is fine to have characters with such views even the MC, the point is about how you tell a story about slavery with such characters. What is the message people would read from your story. Was this a honest depiction of how slavery can be hard to remove? Not really no, it was mostly about the moral question of it, as that was how the Blue justice framed it and the response from the MC side was..."The slavers depend on the slaves, they would loose their business." Honest to god pro slavery argument coming from the Mc as a moral victory over the leader of the Blue Justice. You cannot make this shit up. This was not framed as wrong, but actually as a correct view. "Listen to other people side" in this sense, the pro slavery side and then...compromise with them? Or don't do anything, just listen. Typical horseshit. There was more sussy shit, like slave depicted as thiefs and lairs, or as somebody who sees some honor of freeing themselves.  I am not saying the author is pro slavery, but the story reads as such. If the point was to show how systematic powerstrctutres can manipulated the opressed people in to spewing propaganda, or how the subjicated people internalize their subjicaitons or how even people trying to help the poor can be manipulated by the very forces they fight against if they don't understand them. Because I could see glimpses of all of those, then it failed quite well by being terribly naive with its argument and falling into some stereotypes of activism
