It was fluff, there's angst but not that much. It was light-hearted in short. Though, the MC is gary sue and naive, just like most of those female mc's rebirth and made their intellectual degreased. I mean, he acts like some kid although he supposed to have much more mature mindset. There are some stuffs I dont like while reading this. Im fond of fencing, so I was hooked even more while reading this. But, the author doesn't give much information about it, so it's a bit disappointing. About being... more>> the world's champion, I was even expecting it would be the ML. Since he was known as a genius and stuff, but in the end it was MC who won. It's not that bad for him to win but... Welp, I kinda understand that perhaps it's because MC traveled back with his experience. So as im saying, he was dense like he's denial when people pointed out someone has a crush/like/love on him. I dont like that he just let himself get kissed, the supporting love interests isn't that bad but... You know, then there's ML saw it and got jelly and stuff lol. About the villainess cousin, the person who just killed him before. Gosh, she supposed to have a punishment that she deserves but nope... Oh well <<less

It's Good. It's Great really. Lots of thing I like and enjoy. The sports moments itself I Love it even though I don't understand Fencing.

But the whole story is not as good as I expected. The start to the middle of story is really good, but the rest of the 1/3 part of the story... Hmmm. Well, I just have different opinion.

Beside the Villain, everyone is likable characters really! But doesn't mean they don't make me frustrated. Even the MC frustrated me sometimes. I like to side with ML more... more>> in this case.

If I read the spoilers of something I dislike which happened in this novel, I probably won't even read this novel. Thank god I read no spoilers. But if you want few little spoilers of what I dislike, I'll show you.
Spoiler

MC get kissed by the 3rd ML and the 2nd ML and then 3rd ML again. All of them is Non-Con and then DubCon. But I dislike how MC is so weak even when he tried to get away from the forced kiss. If you dislike it, you can struggle more violent!!! The struggle he did was weak than what he should can do!!! Sure both of the 2nd and 3rd ML is his friends, but still!!! I didn't dislike the 2nd & 3rd ML, they're likable and good characters, but. Uuuggghhh

And the Unsatisfying ending of the Villain. They get threatened but didn't get the punishment they deserve to get!!!! I don't care if the harm wasn't known to public or they're still 16. They Deserve To Get Punishment!!! More than just Threat!!!

[collapse]

So that's why I don't have the right feeling to give this novel a 5 stars. I like the novel, I enjoyed it. It has great Translator, but that's all. <<less

It's not bad, not too good either in my opinion. Don't expect too much. Idk what's in the author imagination while writing this story and I don't mind, after all this is her/his work. For the CP, I don't mind their force s*xual relationship (?) if that what so called to describe their relationship. after all, they're still minor. There's an angst, and a bit swetness. If you want fluffy romance this is not for you. I'm always on ML's side lol don't ask me why. MC knows that ML... more>> have feelings for him since before he got rebirth but he choose to be a bit dense and unbothered to ML's feeling towards him (?) idk what is he doing I find it kinda annoying sometimes. Anyways, side characters are good. There's a villain that will ruin the CP and can make you irritate and want to punch their faces. <<less

Rating: 4.2/5

Story:

The story is cute, more realistic than most reincarnation novels. Both our MC and ML had many regrets in their first life, and they are able to resolve them in their second life. The fencing aspect is what makes this novel unique, although a lot of the matches can be hard to visualize if you've never seen a fencing match before. The translation was smooth, and I really appreciated the annotations that were added to certain terms. Big shoutout to the translator!

... more>> Characters:

The story has its "angsty" moments, but our couple is very devoted to each other, so there's never an extreme worry whenever there was a conflict. One thing I do have to say is that in terms of connection to other characters in the story, I felt that the ML only associated with the MC. The MC is always surrounded by other supporting characters, and often times many other admirers. This is tricky since it has the potential to be annoying, but the MC is a very sweet, earnest, and hardworking character that allows the author to pull it off without being too biased.

Read or Skip? Read!

Overall, it was an enjoyable read. I went in not expecting the novel to do anything but entertain me, so it did what it needed to do. It's not groundbreaking, and you can definitely pick apart certain aspects of the novel if you wanted to. However, if you're looking for a more modern, sweet, story with some fencing added, it is definitely worth a read! <<less

I'm using the translator, please ignore spelling or consistency errors. First of all, thank you for the translation, thank you for the effort!

Honestly, I have no idea how to rate and describe this novel. I think the author had everything to write something incredible and engaging, knife and cheese in hand, but he had a somewhat distorted view of reality.

The fencing scenes are very good, I particularly enjoyed it even though I have no affinity for the sport. The MC is cute, I like him and the way he's friendly... more>> with people and enjoys swordsmanship. The MC's friends are also very charismatic and I've turned off most of them.

What definitely spoiled my opinion of this novel are factors that cannot be ignored or treated as normal.

1 – Although I like ML in general, I hate the fact that he presses and forces the MC in SEVERAL moments and doesn't understand that he's acting wrong. Just like he sometimes forces his jealousy on the MC. I don't see problems with jealous characters, I even like it. As long as HIS feeling doesn't interfere directly in the MC's life and choices.

2 – The MC is constantly harassed by almost all of his love interests. The lightest in that environment was Kevin, who was cute and respected the MC for being underage (which is basic, but compared to other characters it's already a lot)

3 – Lots of loose ends and things thrown to the wind for no apparent reason. Like the story of the MC's drunk coach, we understand that he had someone with whom he had a similar relationship to Lin and Chris. But it wasn't explained properly. Furthermore, the MC's rebirth was not put to good use, his memories of the past and the changes that occurred from one lifetime to the next seemed like nothing to him. Only his fencing memoir featured prominently, and then only at parts where he needed to fight. Chris's grandfather and father were also somewhat underused and not as developed, as were the people who practiced fencing with Lin and Chris. Kath mostly.

4 – Although Chris is very affectionate with Lin in small acts, I think there was still something missing. I really enjoyed the poetry he recited to Lin, and for me, I think that was lacking a lot, a novel. Romantic affection isn't just shown through intense kissing and intimate relationships.

5 – Their first time was horrible. Seeing Lin ask him to stop and insistently denying caused me surreal levels of discomfort. I believed that that would be an important moment, where Lin would surrender and Chris would do things intensely, but still taking into account Lin's fear and limits. All I saw was Chris completely ignoring Lin's wishes and feelings in favor of his own desire (like many other times throughout the story).

There are probably other things, but I don't remember at the moment. And, as I said at the beginning, the author had everything in his hands to make something cool, but he distorted some things that should NEVER be romanticized. I'm giving two stars solely for the MC, for the few moments I enjoyed, for the swordsmanship, and for a few other minor characters.

And that :) <<less

Ehem. Okay so when I went into this one I had particularly high expectations since the people that recommended it to me talked so highly about it. And in one way way I understand what they meant the way the author wrote the sport part was very engaging. The story and just the little stuff however..

I'm gonna be frank I don't like the ML much nor the other love interests. The lack of consent when they do things to the MC physically and mentally irks me to the... more>> point I almost dropped the whole novel. And what happened with that guy De Niro? His "redemption arc" seemed so sloppy, out of place, and just so eh to me. Maybe this is harsh but the whole relationship between the ML and the MC made me uncomfy. There are warm and soft moments but not enough that it could balance out the distasteful ones. The idea for this novel was great. Childhood friends that are fencers, pining, separation, etc etc. But the execution was terrible. If you can read a novel and just go against your moral beliefs and standards then I definitely recommend it to you but if your a normal sane person then no. Overall a 2/5. <<less

Well... I never wrote a review but this novel made me want to do it.

This is the novel that made me the most uncomfortable overall and I do not recommend it unless you don’t care about morals or want a read with a really uncomfortable relationship.

... more>>
Spoiler

For various reasons this novel really disappointed me, starting from when MC accepted the confession of ML just because ?? theres no growth no real feelings and no impression that he really is interested in ML. Also ML although not as bad as MC can be really forcing ML sometimes to do intimate things despite refusal.

From the moment MC was kissed by other guys and didnt react much, even trying to coax ML into thinking it’s ok and not come after them.. was really too much I had to read half heartedly to the end and simply couldn’t bear investing myself too much anymore.

[collapse]

Overall, a really uncomfortable romance with a plot that isn’t mature in any way so it’s all the way at the bottom of what I’ve read. Not worth this much time to read. <<less

Very intriguing start, the cute relationship between MC and ML was the best but it started to lessen as the story went on. MC was overly shy and run away while ML was very assertive so some moments just felt uncomfortable.

I also liked the side characters but the way MC delt with some people just wasn't fair to his relationship to MC so some ML jealousy was justified.

There were also small plot holes here and there but those aren't really noticed unless thought about so it's fine but added some... more>> kf the more boring moments it stacked up.

Overall MC and ML relationship wasn't perfect but still enjoyable. There were problems at times but was mostly looked past. <<less

Started this since it genuinely interested me after reading a lot from the E-Sports section if Danmei. I was prepared but I still ended up struggling to finish this despite the warnings of the inconsistencies and racist assumptions in this story. Those are sadly kinda normal when the authors don’t do proper research and probably other things I don’t want to comment about at this time.

What disappointed me was the difference or where anyone stood in the MC’s circle, especially in the ML’s case. Sure, the Gong has own faults... more>> too but the MC is a just bad boyfriend; ESPECIALLY WHEN THEY WERE “BEST FRIENDS” IN HIS PREVIOUS LIFE.

....😪 I was going to rant with spoilers but decided against it. I’ll just say that even though the matches were short, it was still thrilling to envision while reading and wish there was more to that; there were a lot of thing that weren’t talked about after the setup was made in the early chapters. <<less
