Really Enjoying the story so far. The reincarnation theme is one of my favorites. I do think the story would benefit from the MC being older when the story really starts. 4 Years old is just too unbelievable and something more like 10 would be more believable and give the story more options for plot development .

It's only at Chapter 11, but I'm already hooked. There is nothing truly unique so far, but it's got a lot of my favorite elements from other Xaixia books woven together really well. The reincarnated orphaned assassin, who finally got a family he always wanted from KSY's God Slayer. The bonding with a mythical tiger from Freedcats' Jade Phoenix. To name a couple. As I love both of those series, I'm excited to see where this one goes. Especially since this author seems to be a native English speaker or at least his grammar and syntax are top notch! No offense to non-natives, as I certainly couldn't write a book in a foreign language, but the jarring phrasing can be pretty immersion breaking at times. This one has none of that and is shaping up to be a real gem.

So normally people do the whole grammar, plot, characters etc. Nah.
I took off work to binge read this while eating pizza. I enjoyed it that much, I ran out of chapters is my biggest complaint. Second one, which is more for others then me is: there are a few minor spelling mistakes that seem like they are only in the last three chapters and from autocorrect more then anything. To me not a deal, but others possibly so.
So yeah, tiny tiger go brrr, 10 year old go bbbbbbrrrrt, and one armed vagrant go boom. I've greatly enjoyed the story and recommend it, it isn't perfect, but it's a smooth and pleasant read with no glaring hiccups that I noticed. Keep it up author, your doing well.
Edit: I don't know why author says they shake their heads where the English phrasing is nodding their heads, bit maybe it's a language barrier thing

Well... the story is not bad, good narration, the story is quite predictable, I don't dislike it.
But the main character doesn't put much effort into achieving achievements, his parents are strong adventurers, his mother is the one who wears the pants.
The main character is a former soldier, his powers awaken quickly and at 4 years old he can go out to fight alone, and that does not attract the attention of his parents.

This story has a lot of potential and I really like the story line, but it also has a lot of holes and a few inconsistencies. As well as the ignoring of something’s like the tiger or what he has shown to who. I hope it gets some polishing and maybe some restructuring in the future. It’s a good story but it could be great. Also it would be cool to see more of the how’s or why of the magic. I would love to see some of the theory, or the whys. For example why do some casters need chants and some don’t. Is that just a caster thing or a magic in general thing and how does one learn a spell non of that is mentioned at all. Even just once or twice to give of some idea of what that entails. I would also like to see a more solid line of Falyns ability. You seem to jump around a lot on what he is capable of. For example his core is deeper and stronger than most everyone in his class (I made it to chapter 77 before stoping) which should mean that his magic is a lot more potent, I think, I mean he can beat a gold rank beast but has trouble with a couple of kids??? There are just something’s that don’t add up. I mean Kent the strongest in the school had trouble against Fal but then Fal has trouble against a first year???

I'm sorry, but I can't recommend this story to anyone searching for an engaging read. It's so Cliché that I could almost be fooled into thinking that it's a parody. But it's not.
If you want something to keep you occupied, then this will do the trick. If you are looking for a satisfying story with interesting characters and an original plot, keep looking.

General impression: This story has potential, but I'm surprised it's rated so highly. It's not bad as a first effort from a newbie author, but it needs a LOT of work. I'm willing to look past a lot of mistakes and weak writing that I wouldn't put up with in a published book.
As a regular reader here on RR, I know how hard it is to write these books, and I'm reviewing it after ~20 chapters, so maybe there's a significant improvement in future chapters. In any case, I'd recommend the author do an extensive rewrite of the start of the book.
Main character: as other reviewers mention, the main character is incredibly cliched, 2-dimensional, and simply not very smart.
There is context of being either a veteran spy and fighter (book text) or a soldier (book description), either way I'm finding it impossible to suspend disbelief about the physical capabilities of the supposed 4-year old:
"I quickly enhanced my body with mana and bolted towards him.
I lashed out with multiple punches, but the man swiftly dodged every single one and kicked me square in my chest, sending me tumbling several feet away." [Chapter 11]
Regardless of mental capacity, we're talking about a 4-year old here:
"4-year-olds weigh an average of 40 pounds and are about 40 inches tall. need about 11 to 13 hours of sleep each night. They're likely potty trained, but may still wet the bed" [Source: parents.com]
If I were the author, I'd consider revising the start age from 4 up to 12 or so, that would help with suspension of disbelief and breaking immersion.
That won't solve all the problems with this manuscript, but it would be a good start. Other things to look at: the development is too fast at the start - finding the familiar could be delayed, try and make the plot less predictable.

So, this story has been going since 2021, so if what you're just looking for is content, it's probably fine.
But there's no edge, no energy, no style to it. Characters are very tropey and 2 dimensional. The MC is a hard bitten isekaid ex soldier who is auomatically good at things and an adequate judge of everything in spite of dying in his 20's, the adults around hin are non-serious former adventurers who don't question why a four year old talks like a college student and fights like an adult, everybody says exactly the thing you expect. Maybe it gets better later, but I'm 17 chapters in after reading another really excellent book, and I can't do this to myself.

A significant amount of the story is identical to “the beginning after the end.” The are some differences but enough is the same for me to be turned off.
some examples:
-three kingdoms with two extra strong combatants each
-major plot point about a new continent
-MC gets legendary beast companion from its parent at the start
-Child training arc, then adventurer arc, then school arc
-annoying brat from adventurer arc is also at the school
-pretends to have fewer affinities at school
Plus generic genre-staple similarities.

I am tried I really did.
The author introduced the protagonist as a spy or at least an adult in a child's mind. But the protagonist never acts in such a way.
The protagonist is reborn into a world of magic and dragons. He is born prematurely but the moment he is born he understands the spoken language. He can hear and see everything clearly as to say he can never be phased by the activation of unfamiliar signals from his infant body or the literal shit that usually sticks to your ears and eyes when you are born. He doesn't question or mention his perfect comprehension of the spoken language or that said language may be identical to his old world. Sure why not. He states he needs to act subtly as he was trained as a spy. But shows exponential improvement not linear. He has no ability to build a intelligence network or even gather intelligence as it is the job description of his former profession. The author seems to believe that a spy is a one man army that kills generals with knives and can doge bullets. He doesn't grown his arsenal by learning what he can from people willing and able to teach him. He instead uses his subpar abilities to push raw mana into stuff to achieve his dream of being a murder hobo. He barley scratches the complex intricacies of magic and calls himself a mage for being a leaky tap. Has no external pressure to do anything but still decides to go for maximum risk for no gain because the lolz.
The story can be so much more but a protagonist that gets handed everything doesn't question anything and lacks creativity is not something that will blossom.
