Description

Regret, resentment, and revenge dominate the thoughts of most reincarnates, but not me. I welcome the chance to live the right way. My way.

Fred Dreadtree, the most talented son of the strongest nobleman in the Moonwel Empire, has a secret. He's the reincarnation of an old timer who managed to turn his life around. These memories of wasted youth and depressed early adulthood push Fred to the brink, he won't let a single day pass without putting in his best effort.

The new world Fred has arrived in will present its own trials and hardships, that'll test his new outlook on life as well as the strength of his spirit. Not all is sorrow, new bonds, powers and memories await him as he forges his own legacy in a world of swords and sorcery. There is only fulfillment and enlightenment for those who seek it.

So, it seems a lot of amateur writers want to copy Mushoku Tensei without the perviness. Unlike the others, this one is actually pretty good, because it adds a number of interesting elements. Rather than the ubiquitous Fantasy Only Child, this one has the MC reincarnated into a large family, creating many opportunities for character interaction (and jealousy over the MC's inevitable cheats. In stead of the MC getting a harem, he is born into one. Instead of Fear being the Mind Killer, it is the cornerstone of a branch of magic the hero stumbles on.
It's nice to have a Progression Fantasy Isekai that doesn't skimp on the characters or instantly surround the hero with girls who flirt with him. What we've seen of the magic system is intriguing, although it is too influenced by the practitioner's imagination for my taste. The dream sequences get a little tedious.
