This story is an absolute delight — charmingly written with a perfect balance of humour, emotion, and character depth. Saran’s redemption arc is handled with real sensitivity, and the ensemble cast brings colour and energy to every scene. The dialogue feels wonderfully natural, the romantic tension is subtle yet captivating, and the comedic timing is spot on.
The story shines particularly in its character development so far and i hope you don't mess it up. Each member of the cast — from the sharp-witted Diya and observant Aadhya, to the humorous household staff and the ambitious student council — brings something unique to the table. Their personalities are distinct, their motivations clear, and their chemistry palpable.
The pacing is engaging, with each chapter deepening the characters’ relationships while introducing intriguing new twists.
But i personally feel the pacing of the story is slow, like it is showing daily activities i feel that you can somewhat improve in the cliffhanger endings as i don't particularly see any good ending for each chapter. I hope you can improve in that aspect.
Also, the love moments between saran and diya are good and i want more of it. I love the father character and hope you can make more use of him and the family situations to make the story more interesting.
Overall, this story is a compelling blend of humor, emotion, romance, and redemption. I am hyped and eager for further chapters.

If you guys love redemption, If you guys love slapping the face of people looking down on you with your actions, If you guys slow and subtle romance then this one is for you.
This isn’t a story, it’s a lifestyle. Its story is f******ng awesome. There is no action,No cultivation. Its completely revolving around strategy, suspense and still its engaging. I am literally waiting for more. The humour is spot-on without taking away from the emotional depth.
Many will feel that this story is just another normal redemption story but only the first chapter feels boring. From the second chapter it was nice.
If this keeps going the way it’s headed, it’s going to be something special.
This is something I personally feel. From seeing the previous three reviews, I think most people who read this story felt the same. I want the author to continue even if its just little of us reading this. I love this too much. I think this story's is based on Indian culture and stuff. I love those setting too but the only thing is it has lots of characters making it super tough to remember who is who.
Apart from that this story is super good. I love this.

This story's storyline is a common one in recent manhwas and manhuas but I love the way the author presented it. A timetravel redemption story in Indian Style bringin in bonds that Indians have with their family even after becoming 18 is typical Indian style. There is no overhype for the Hero nor does it show that the Main lead is above all, atleast for now it's like this. I would appreciate if the story goes on like the same way maintaining the same tone and not like the recent revenge or massacre type. This story is heartwarming and the romantic parts were awesome. While the Indian style the author used is quiet difficult to understand or imagine it's actually a wonderfull story. Literally all the reviews i saw previously are done today only. That was also one of the reason that made me study this one.
What i feel negative was the slow pace of the story and how you finish it. most of the chapters so far start on the morning and finish at night. It's make me feel like reading some day to day lifestyle of a person. If the endings of the chapters are made more interseting or suspenseful i think even if the story does not become one the best, it will be a decent one. The first work of an author to be this good till now is surprising. I am waiting for more.

This story is totally awesome. I thought of dropping this as it was slow and boring but the last 2 chapters was just awesome. I never thought the author would think of something like this.
I love the uncertainty in Saran's character making it clearly visible that he is changing his character and behavior. But I also feel you can explore the other characters too.
A perfect redemption story. I never thought i would come to like a plot which had no superpowers or myth and stuff. I am supely hyped for further chapters and i hope the author does not mess up the story line

The story so far is good and going in a slow pace in an interesting way. Also this story as i have read so far does not contain some super heroic stuff like martial arts or college gang fights or hero saving heroine (damsel in distress) stuff. I hope you continue in the same tone with new turn of events. I also love those family moments. Its great. A typical Indian story.
Even-though the story line feels repetitive and already seen it still feels fresh and new with the way you approached and made the story go.
Your way of writing is also good, the grammer and stuff is also good.
All the comedy moments and those slow burn romantic moments in the recent episodes were great.
I wish even more romantic moments and also some rivalries between students. I wish you still keep this non-violence wit based story go on. The brother and sister moments and the subtle emotional moments between parents and children were completely Indian style and that's heartwarming.
But the title "I am Back to be Good" doesn't seem that good at attracting people. I hope you make some good name for your upcoming fictions.
Overall, I love this story.
