as a fan of yaoi and shoujo romance, this has real potential

It really does, I just hope in the end be like him for him and not just when that guy is in his girl form. That’s the only thing with genderbender is that if they can physically change, would you still be attracted to them. Like he’d be willing to have sex when the other is a girl but the minute he’s a guy they’re not as close or lovelydovey anymore

While that is somewhat true, you can feel attraction for someone for who they are despite their gender. Sexuality is a preference for when it comes to choosing, but if you really love someone you can’t help but be attracted. That being said, he doesn’t have to end up bisexual.
(This is no hate just informational)

I agree. He doesn’t have to be bi, but I personally would want to him to still be attracted to him as a guy. Like he doesn’t have to sexually be attracted to the guy (while in guy form), but if he’s not attracted to that person at all as a guy(romantically), I just feel like then he’s not fully loving that person for who he is.

Exactly, he doesn’t have to be bi to like them as both though. It’s like when you’re in a relationship with someone and they confess to you that they wish to be the other gender, you might have a hard time but if you truly love them you’ll stay with them through it. Doesn’t mean you like the other gender, you just really love this person. ^^
nice story
but considering how old he was, how did he know the classic reincarnation tropes of today, and why does he come to the dangerous conclusion to go to the forest as a three year old?
Yes, I know it's just a manga, but there's a possibility that the mangaka thought that readers would assume that the MC heard about it from his grandchildren (or maybe his great-grandchildren) at some time in his life.
And he's not three years old. He's seven, I believe. There was a page that said "six years later" after he was shown as a one-year-old.
no, it said two years later
I don't know why I read six, lol.
Well for all we know he could’ve died in this era, and maybe the god erased all his personal memories but not memories that had no relation to his past life
