idgaf i dislike goodie two shoes mfs, I like them a little shady and conniving!!

MC is still cunning. He just have different mindset and priorities.
This story is kinda the reverse of the usual reincarnation trope
Which is: pushover/selfless/goody two shoes/white moonlight MV who were bullied/betrayed die and when they were given a second chance.. they plotted a revenge and in the process they become a selfish/self centered, shady cunning, conniving main character (blackened).
In this story the opposite happened.. MC used to be a selfish, ambitious, cunning, shady, conniving character who aim for personal glory/achievements.. but his life ended in tragedy.
So this second time he choose different route. He's still cunning but his goal have changed. MC no longer care about personal gain/achievement, he doesn't hesitate to sacrific himself for his main goal: eradicate the seeds of Black Swan.

Exactly! Thats why I love him sm!
Your explanation is why I find this mc so refreshing as well (≧∀≦)
People are mad he was about to sleep with the boss but our boy never said he was gonna be a better person in general but just better to the people who he deems important and his ways are still questionable showing his character didn't have a 180 just his priorities which is very realistic ╮( ̄▽ ̄)╭

Yea I don't get why other commenters (not OP) are complaining. I mean MC and the boss were lovers in 1st life, and the boss was his sponsor/backer. Meanwhile in MC's point of view ML is a crush who were in a loving, highly matched relationship with another guide (the hobae/junior/younger woman). Of course in second life it's more logical to approach past lover for help rather than a distant crush (ML).
if i just ignore the beginning this is so
wdym? whats wrong with the beginning
Touching someone while pretending to be asleep is iffy while the recipient of the touch is responding in an uncomfortable manner. This teeters around the bounds of what is SA and what isn't.
ohh yeah makes sense, i agree
