Description

King Grey has unrivaled strength, wealth, and prestige in a world governed through martial ability.However, solitude lingers closely behind those with great power.Beneath the glamorous exterior of a powerful king lurks the shell of man, devoid of purpose and will.

Reincarnated into a new world filled with magic and monsters, the king has a second chance to relive his life.  Correcting the mistakes of his past will not be his only challenge, however. Underneath the peace and prosperity of the new world is an undercurrent threatening to destroy everything he has worked for, questioning his role and reason for being born again.

    This is a great read. The world is clearly fleshed out and as the story moves along the world gets bigger and more defined. The characters as well are wonderful you actually want to follow them and see what they do when put in different situations and route for them.

    First chapters are really good, then it kinda falls off starting school arc, though it stays an okay read, then it comes back.
    There are a couple of seemingly pretty rough chapters in that arc (some not so logical plot devices) but the author does manage to patch it later on.

    The good points:
    The mc is powerful enough to keep the story going, but not too strong.The new characters are slowly introduced to the story, they don’t pop out of nowhere. You get a chance to get to know them.The information about the power levels and abilities blends right in the story. No infodumps.Romance and friendly relations are not sudden. Women are part of the story, not just a pair of breasts with legs (like you would often find in chinese wuxia).Logical power-ups, no “mysterious” techniques or “heavenly” items that have this god-of-the-machine feeling. He has one power-up that came out nowhere, basically, but it was from relationship with a character that was introduced to the story (if somewhat spontaneously).Not too many/long flashbacks.The not so good points:
    The story at least once goes like this: “He (side character) felt he (mc) emanated the aura of a king”. But it doesn’t explain why. Say, in other stories you read “he gave out a thick bloodlust”, but it was previously explained that it came from countless killings. I expected an explanation about this “kingly” aura, we know he was a king previously, but it didn’t feel right. Something along the lines of “he looked at me as if I was beneath him” or “he carefully stroked his cat, as if I was a subject in his court”. I wanted some insight into the mc’s mannerisms, into his personality.Parents don’t question where did mc learn everything. His father and mother feel stupid, I hope they don’t become characters with a plain personality. [Update: this is slowly improving][Update] Some qualities of the characters tend to disappear (no more kingly aura)The hopes for the story:
    I hope the characters’ personalities evolve according to the circumstances and events.I hope for a realistic ratio of male/female characters. Don’t want a stupidly big amount of females following the ridiculously popular male. [Update: It feels like the male population is just there to highlight MC's qualities, there is no competition

    Haven't met any grammar or spelling errors that pop out yet. Plot is great, and the MC is nice. Keep up the good work! :)

    The premise and the overall plot is decent. It’s typical generic hero MC. However, like most of the protagonists, this one is an experienced “king” with supposed maturity and very skilled. Despite that, the dialogues and characterization of him is too immature. The way he talks and the way he interacts don’t add up with his age. Moreover, the side characters feel like cardboard cutouts than real people, most probably because of simple and immature dialogues that flow between them. A lot of dialogue exchanges are pretty pointless at trying to be a romcom or comedic relief but it just adds more nonsense. There's no real substance to care for the characters nor empathy to feel with him. Descriptions of their feelings and actions are read like a "requirement to read" rather than brought about by their actions and descriptions of the events.
    I really wish  I could like it but the writing style feels like I’m reading a children’s book.

    The author keeps trying to have the MC spit out internal jokes.
    Whole story is like one perpetually bad joke that the MC is telling.
    Have the MC take things more seriously and you have a good story on your hand, as is though his mentality doesn't match the character development you made. He's some caring emotionally hyperactive super guy or something, which is unrealistic IRL and unrealistic to his backstory.
    The jokes are something a reader would be thinking if you 'pulled' the jokes off. Leave it to the readers to think those jokes to themselves, don't write it for us.
    Author doesn't do a really a good job writing the MC either. Just the way the thoughts progress are just unrealistic to a real person.
