Style:
The style of writing is pretty ok, nothing amazing but nothing bad either.
I have a slight issue with the pacing of the story it's a little fast for my taste, but then again this is just my opinion and I know some people prefer faster-paced stories.
Grammar:
Grammar is pretty good with a few extremely minor issues such as an odd capitalization error.
Story:
The story is definitely interesting. The context of reincarnation is particularly interesting. Most reincarnations gives the MC a fresh start in a new life but in this story, the MC seemingly possesses a body mid-way through its life. Makes me wonder what happened to the original guy now that MC took over his body.
One minor gripe is that the people around the MC don't seem to react that strongly to the supposed personality change of the body that the MC is now controlling. But then again we don't yet know what happened to the original person, maybe he got knocked into a coma or something and everyone else assumed that caused the personality change.
Characters:
The characters are quite interesting but there is a personal gripe I have with the MC. His emotional state appears to be a bit erratic in the story. To be fair the MC obviously has PTSD I mean he offed himself in his previous life. (Not much of a spoiler this happens in the first chapter)
Usually, people who have PTSD do exhibit erratic behavior and emotional states, with triggers often setting those off. To the author's credit, the triggers are consistent with them being more or less the same things, which makes it quite realistic, not sure if it's intentional but it's accurate nonetheless. That and the fact that suicidal PTSD sufferers are usually quite down that dark rabbit hole makes the erratic behavior and emotional states even worse.
One last issue I have with the characters is that the story sometimes introduces too many characters at once, making it a little hard to follow who is who. But these aren't that common or impactful to the story s

A pretty good story. There are some plot holes( specifically how alex barely reacts when he wakes up in a new world). Grammars fine. The story is interesting. Looking forward to how things turn out.
I like it. You might too!
