I like this novel. Its not a high action novel by any means. This is more of a "character study"-ish type of story that focuses on the emotional and mental development of not just the MC but the other characters. Surprisingly this novel also satisfyingly illustrates the contrast of good and evil as well as dwelling on the nature of man relative to the concept of good and evil.

As for the premise: The story is essentially a regression story because the MC has knowledge of future events, but it feels... more>> more of an "Isekai" because the MC is reincarnated in a new body and not his original. The MC in essence "does not have faith" be it in humanity, the heavens or the heroes. Anyway after being reincarnated as an Angel he soon discovers that by doing good acts he gains power, in his mind he is a greedy individual that seeks to gain angelic power but for those around him they seem him as the literal embodiment of pure good will. Such contrast makes for a good misunderstanding story that got me hooked initially.

But what really made me stay and prompted me to purchase all 211 chapters were the MC's heroic moments. Said moments were a clear 5/5 for me and to name a few they are:

Spoiler

Part 05. (Ch 24-30) - In this part it was revealed why the MC pushes through the hardship, and it is because when he needed help the most, no matter how much he prayed for a hero, no such miracle happened. As such his main driving force is that he does not want to wait for a hero anymore. It is also in this part where the MC endured heavy physical punishment which almost felt like a self-sacrifice were it not for the calculated profit thinking attituded he had when he saved one of the future villain now hero's clan by taking on the divine punishment to undo the curse casted by the demon lord to said clan.

Part 06. (Ch 31-40) - Where we are shown his complete backstory and despite all of it he is still very kind despite him saying otherwise. This was also the part that had me crying hard because of the "Mother's favorite pudding" recipe geez it was such a short sentence yet it evoked the big feels. This is when I knew that the purchase was worth it.

Part 09. (Ch62-69) - Where MC revealed his secret identity as an Angel to the headmaster of a different school the latter being a person who abhors Angels. This was done to save his friends. I was crying alongside the protagonist at this point because at this moment the MC didn't consider any ploys to gain "angelic power" and just genuinely wanted to save his friends.

Part 12. (Ch89-95) - Where the MC really made a self-sacrifice to kill one of the Four Demon Generals. This was done by stabbing himself with a sword that would theoretically destroy both the MC and the Demon General. When the MC said "Even when I perish, the heroes will be the ones to save the world" was something truly powerful.

[collapse]

Again this novel is not some high action novel, and I'd be lying if I that I don't have any grievances with some of the progression especially the events on the third act where the solution seemed too "convenient" and too "easy". I also think that some conflicts where never truly resolve and some were half-resolved. Prime example would be
Spoiler

the conflict with the Student Council President where it was truly never resolved.

[collapse]

Nonetheless I still like the novel because I read it more of a "coming of age" story. I am also somehow satisfied on how it ended because it completed the MC's "hero's journey"
Spoiler

It started from him having no wings which symbolizes his lack of faith to the world into a winged angel

NOTE: THIS NOVEL IS COMPLETELY TRANSLATED on ranovel. Com (it's a MTL, but it's a good one, basically everything but some character names stay perfectly coherent)

The premise is nice, and it's about a world where every fantasy race exists (as well as humans), but mostly look human, so it's hard to tell. Anyways he gets regressed into an angel by the same angel who failed to save the world, and now has to try to save the world. Basically, the angel failed because too many heroes became evil /... more>> sided with demons / gave up on saving humanity, and now MC has to try to change that. MC is a nice person, but it's also that his racial traits make him much nicer: there's a bit of charm floating around, he literally cannot swear, and he gets stronger by doing good deeds.

This is NOT an action heavy story despite the world setup; it's about MC, an angel, trying to be a background/supporting influence on the heroes and prevent them from turning into villains. MC also has rapidly rising and falling levels of strength depending on the good deeds he is doing, which is clever, but also may feel a little too deus-ex-stat-bonuses to some people. It's aiming for underdog but OP in situations type deal, but it leans a bit too heavy on the OP. <<less

I gotta say, for shou bl looking cover. It sure went to jp harem kind of style.

Tbh, I really do like it how the plot went.
However, I did not like the fact that the misunderstandings with MC were forced to be reckon with, some of them. It kind of feels that the novel’s pacing went too fast. To the point I get confused on whether I skip some chaps.

Anyway, the funny thing is, I don’t like harem. This novel made me have to rethink twice on whether or not is harem before putting the tags first. I bet some people won’t know it’s harem unless they saw the falling in love part and where there are too many girls crushing on MC. It was like that to me.

All in all, this is something I would recommend for those who are trying harem.

Thr story seems interesting and a lot of plot points will probably be built from misunderstandings, the MC is meant to help heroes and prolly would play more of a support role rather than the being at the front lines though he does have characteristics of a tsundere here and there.
