I like all the characters so far. Honestly I wish the chapters were longer.
also... I lowkey feel like the setting would be better if it was in America. I know its a fantasy story, but the characters give off a western vibe and there's not really alot of a sense of Japan. Oh and sidenote, I totally wasnt expecting the author for the guys to be brothers.
ya know.... you'd THINK a betting system would be prepared to handle big losses. I mean lotteries NEVER give you ALL of your money, theres always taxes you need to pay. In a real world setting I think he'd be taxed maybe 5 percent of his winnings and even if he won a lump sum, it would be paid back in parts or a lesser lump sum if he wanted it all at once like how lotteries pay out.
To be fair, they did rig the competition in favour of the king, seeing as the magicians were in cahoots with the owner. And the king's matches are the only ones with such a high allowance on betting, so it is fair of them to assume that they would only profit because it would be difficult to anticipate a high level mage also being a swordsman without the reputation of being so. So like their system could definitely use work, but since they were cheating anyways, it seems realistic that they didnt have a delayed payout system. I do hard agree about the taxes though
guh... so I had recently seen a rise in stories using my mom's name lately that its cringe when I read them that I have to force myself to just read past names.... NOW MY NAME IS BEING USED! D: Anyone else feel that way seeing certain character names? (now i see why final fantasy games use such unique names that its impossible to have this issue)
incidentally I actually liked the choice in names for the guys in the FL's family. The girls in these types of stories always have the longest frilliest names tho.











I read the first chapters and after that I was already skimming cus the plot is confusing and uses typical chinese plot devices that westerners probably wont understand (like the slapstick between whoever is reincarnating him and the crappy foreign characters they introduced off the bat and the "woe is me" wife character that he has to tend to even with the main character's "woe is me" health).
Not to mention the translation doesn't do it many favors with so-so grammar. I would probably be stuck with ambiguous lines for 20 or 30 chapters before I understood how the plot would flow.
Dude so much stuff has happened within the first 11 chapters that I am reading I can’t keep up It’s like they’re jumping into situations one after another
