This story is really well written. A very realistic portrayal of a second chance at living. Cause let's face it none of us if ever given a chance to relive our life would be like those op protagonists.

The protagonist is relatable as he's an ordinary man. An ordinary man who has been reborn. Due to his rebirth he at first excels in his studies so the genius herione takes him as her rival. But the MC knows that he's no genius. He thus searches for his reason to live this... more>> second life. He's lucky to have the herione in his life who in his darkest moments of self doubt and downward spiral helps him find peace and an anchor in reality. The reason this story is great is because we can all relate to the MC as he's a normal person like us. He's no genius but he eventually makes peace with life and his existence.

This story really helped me during a dark time in my life. Thus I recommend it highly.

It's a short story so it won't take much time. Do give it a try

The pacing, execution, characters and their development, and plot are all exceptional. This is the story about an average man who got reborn as a kid and his genius friend. In the beginning the MC is completely dominating his genius friend, but as time goes on, he's the one losing against his genius friend, precisely because he's just average, he'll never be special, but his friend is a genius, a special one to boot, the more time passes, the more he loses, and the more the distance between them increases.... more>> It's a meaningful story, it tells you that no matter how hard you put effort, not everything will be rewarded, and helps you to realize your limits, to not to overestimate yourself. Reality is harsh, and this story exhibits it in a heartwarming, bittersweet, and realistic way. This story is definitely one of my favourites. <<less

This oneshot is really heartwarming.

Spoiler

It's not your typical story about MC being reincarnated dominating everyone. It's just a story of a man who wanted to be special. Knowing his childhood friend as a genuine genius, he tried to be what she expected of him. But in the end, it's not just about being special can we find the world colorful. It's about finding the right paint to color what our "art" will be.

Verdict: Absolutely Good Story

  1. I felt joy.
  2. I felt sadness.
  3. Yes, I cried.
The Characters are very likable even though there aren't enough material to refer them as a 'deep' character. The plot, progression, everything, I love all of it. I can see why this one shot have such a high rating. If this had an animated movie, I would surely watch it.

I loved this so much. The novel told the story of man accepting himself as he was and allowing himself to do what he wanted all the while finding love and making a life he can call his own. This was a truly touching story and I'd recommend it to anyone who needs a down to earth story.

This is my element. I am in pure bliss reading this story that has inundated me in its romance filled with heartbreaking struggle. This author has captured my heart with a oneshot that has masterfully done more in its short span than years worth of writing of other authors. It is no exaggeration to say literary art of this quality fulfills part of my life and does not just entertain me.

Just look at all the reviews above and below. People are so emotionally rattled that their scrambled egg brains can... more>> barely slap together a comprehensible sentence that doesn't consist of "the feels be strong" or "I'm bawling my eyes out". <<less

Warm and heart-filling, a reincarnation story that feels extremely relatable for the sort of person who tested well in school but struggled afterwards.

Honestly, one of my favorite WNs. It portrays a realistic aspect of being reincarnated a normal person that evokes feelings of nostalgia of your own youth, however it may have spent.

Wholesome... Beautiful... If you have feelings, you would love it as much as I did, you can feel the same as the MC, the frustration, the envy, the sadness... As much as the fulfillment and the happiness... Ten out of ten

This oneshot is seriously worth gold. A passionate piece about life and happiness. 10/10 would read it again.

The story is so touching, I really loved it. This is the first oneshot I ever read and with this I start to appreciate this corner of LNs.

This story kind of reminded me of Clannad. It was very heartwarming and I greatly enjoyed it. I even had a little tears on my eyes.

A heartwarming oneshot, so not a ton of character dev. Or plot, but more of a focus on emotions and the relationship between the two characters.

When you read other novels, you feel time flowing faster, and without knowing, a lot of time passes. But with this novel, I was so immersed in it that it felt like three hours passed altough I was only reading for 20 minutes with how complete it was.

It was a very good read, 5.5/5.

ps: that's my first review, and I don't know how to express my feelings well, so sorry.

My First Review.

The oneshot is simple and very perfect, from the beginning to the end you see yourself in the MC and when you hear crying with them

This was an adorable story featuring a man who was reincarnated and a woman who's a genius. The mood of the story could easily be felt as many of the things writer can relate to most people.

Usually for books you'd write down, you'd write things like "this book was good" and some descriptive text "because the romance was nice" and some negative comments to balance out "but the Author doesn't understand prodigies" and a rating, 10/10

This book, is not one of those books.

This book doesn't deserve a rating, it deserves to be read.

... more>> There are few literary masterpieces in the world of light novel and manga. This is one of those 1 in a million books that make you wake up.

There is no description necessary, but, if I were to write a descriptive review, I know that there is no amount time that could possibly allow me to encapsulate everything that this novel is. If you want one there are other reviews here.

So give it a read. You'll understand. <<less

Amazing novel that finally underscores the difference between "smart" and "genius" at a very relatable level

Thousands upon thousands of novels cheapen the value of intelligence by describing characters who do impossible feats nonchalantly, all while spouting technical jargons used incorrectly. This novel does not do that.

The biggest difference between a smart person and a genius, is the innate ability to understand concepts and further refine it: a smart person scores 100 in tests, a genius writes the book those smart people study from. They'll never stand on the same platform,... more>> the best smart people can do is simulate the results a genius would produce

There's really nothing special in this novel, there's "magic" but it's basically just science. It's mostly low fantasy (if at all) and accurately depicts the struggles of an asian, haunted by an imaginary parent forcing him to do his best in the face of a true genius, and the heartrending, if inevitable, result.

Very much recommended. The whole "reincarnation" thing is just a world building device, nothing more <<less

A short and seemingly wholesome story.

it defines the harsh line between a genius and a non genius. That’s all I have to say, it’s simply too good not to read.
