    A reincarnation story with less stupidly strong characters and more common sense... If I died once getting yourself killed for some idiotic reason would not be my first choice but hey.
    Instead of your headbashing brute we have a smart guy that tries to make a nice living of the memories he has, well played and decently written.
    the reason it gets all five stars from me is because despite the shortcomings in grammar it is a well rounded package I enjoy reading. I hope the story will stick around for a while.

    This book has caused so much hype for me, im addicted after the first few chapters, its crazy.

    ★★★★★ 4.5
    So I've been trying to avoid stories that are under about 12-15 chapters but I have to admit I'm glad I broke the rule on this one. It's been very enjoyable and I can't wait to see more!

    ★★★★ 4.0
    Quite nice.
    Reincarnation stories are fun to read if executed well and i think you have made a good start. You're pacing is quite nice, not too fast not too slow. Characters are memorable and pretty interesting already. I also quite like the idea of a smart mc rather than a strong mc.
    When more chapters are out i will be making a better review.
    Until then.

    ★★★★ 3.5
    A good story with a somewhat cliched start but very interesting developtment.
    the first 4 chapters are rougher, the grammar and styling have some issues, chapter 5 and onwards are a pleasure to read.
    there are only two complaints, light blue status screen burns my eyes and has few chapters.
    (reviewed untill chater 7 - 1)

    ★★★ 3.0
    Good premise and plot.
    Disappointing main character, with vague personality and childish mentality. At this point he could have just been somewhat smart kid instead of reincarnator.
    Another bad point is author writing style, insufferable/redundant/longwinded, throughts and reactions of every person are worded with all the detail.

    ★ 1.0
    A great concept executed poorly.
    The first part indicates no knowledge of what it was like to be a banker in the 2008 crash. Of homelessness in a major US city. Or of a 34 year olds point of view.
    This is forgivable considering the conventions of reincarnation as a plot trope. But, why choose something you cannot write? Waste of time.
    The painfully slow pacing, jumps between 3rd and 1st person, poor grammar, and use of italics for dialogue make this story almost impossible to follow.
    Needs serious revision and editing. Or abandoned and started over in a better way.
