Have you ever been frustrated by protagonists with the emotional range of a teaspoon? You know, the ones so commonly seen in the "Reincarnation" fantasy subgenre; the brooding loner whose expression never changes, the confident badass who is always in control, the tortured former soldier who should definitely have PTSD by now but doesn't for some unknown reason... This comic is not about that kind of character.

Contrary to the rather generic sounding title of this comic, its MC, Rin aka, Rein, is a complex character who struggles with the grief of losing everything he ever knew and loved, while simultaneously still being a powerful and ... ambitious mage. There is no single moment of him "deciding" to live life to the fullest, or correct mistakes from his past, etc. because that isn't how someone would respond to the trauma of waking up after death. All his close friends are gone, and Rin has survivor's guilt for sure. We see him continuously struggle with this, mourning his friends in private. But because he is fundamentally the same person as he was, this means that he is still a powerful mage and warrior, so the story retains it's sense of adventure and action. It's the best of both worlds.

The art is also a nice change from the ultra-polished smoothness that had become so popular recently. Heavy linework means that dire situations are given intense weight, not necessarily just extra glow effects over character eyes (for no particular reason), and it gives the comic a further distinct identity of its own.

TLDR: I cried multiple times reading this, even after only 2 chapters. The character writing is just that damn good. don't skip this one.

I randomly binged the whole Manhwa in a few hours, and I was impressed immensely.
The main attributes here lie with the active involvement with MC's past memories paired with a hybrid cartoon style?
You only need to read the first 2 chapters to realize the introduction was done flawlessly.
This Manhwa could have gone in the alternative direction of building a whole story based on it, and no one would complain.

To my delight, the Art Style centers around a hybrid style of Cartoon and Realism. This allows certain characters and monsters to be expressed in great disturbing detail.

Lastly, the concept of magic in this Manhwa is done ... by breaking it down by math concepts. Re-addressing magic in fantasy worlds may be a typical story, however, following through with magical editing via math works wonderfully.

People must be aware the pacing may be somewhat longer than most. This is due to the MC still suffering or going through heavy internal pains due to the origins of his upbringing. If anything, just be sure to look at the perspective of what the MC has been going through since the years of long ago.

An actually interesting story which I really liked. The art is nice, although it is not my favourite.
Now to the important parts, the mc is an actual human with thoughts and emotion, who you can understand and bond with. The before-reincarnation story isnt skipped in a single line and plays a major role in the mc's current life and his decisions. The side character-developments aren't the greatest, since the mc is a "solo"-guy but it is compensated by the great world-building.
Ofc this is also a power fantasy with similar traits, like other reincarnation media, just better (trust).
With time and good care, this will ... surely get the recognition it deserves. Im really thrilled to see more!
