(Just wanted to preface pls take this review with a grain of salt as it's only really just started. These are mt initial thoughts)

I've only read 18 chapters and I can already tell this story is gonna give me anger issues for a while. I like this story enough to continue reading, but there are a few aspects that tick me off and don't make sense.

It doesn't make sense that the MC is a Duke son yet the way the other students and professors treat him doesn't make... more>> sense. Like I know he's considered a delinquent....

Spoiler

but that doesn't explain the inconsistencies in treatment. The first day he transmigrates it's mentioned evryone held their breadth when he appeared out of fear.... yet not even a few chapters later they are not only ignoring him (this would make sense, like keeping their distance or something) but they are also making fun of him, talking crap while he's in the room, and the professors also want to immediately expel him for any reasom despite him having only just entered the school (and again, he's a duke's son)....

Even if you consider his past infamous behavior, it doesn'tmake sense that literally no one shows him any respect despite him being the duke's son. A duke's first son. He may have been seen as talentless, but that doesn't change his position and authority. He's a part of a duke family who is apprently on par with the royal family. on par.

[collapse]

Like what do you mean his Duke family is on par with the royal family??? The level of respect doesn't match that whatsoever. The only difference I see is that he apprently has a lot of money (and his family's authority is probably the only reason the original villain has lived this long tbh).

The author introduced him as if no one would want to get on his bad side because of his family's influence and the awful things he's done in the past, yet people openly talk crap to him??? Makes no sense.

((EDIT: I do have to take back some of the comments about him not getting respect. It seems even the royal family was worried about him getting enrolled but they aren't going anything because of who his family is. While the students may not respect him personally even the royal family can't just get rid of him. This isn't said explicitly but I'm grasping straws here.))

Now is the villain before the MC transmigrated a awful person? Yes. And again, I'd get it if they people kept their distance and didn't really like him.... but the other aspects make no sense to me.

Maybe I'm just over thinking it.

And another thing that ticks me off is a little related to my first issue. It's the fact the MC says he's going to switch how other people see him but honestly just seems to be making it worse. Like he's not trying at all lol. Then there is the whole thing with the robbers.

(Edits made in spoiler)

Spoiler

The whole incident with the robbers in chapters 14/15 in which the MC is captured with other shoppers and students at a store (and one of the og heroines) and tied up. The MC escapes and shoots one of the robbers in front of the other students and then proceeds to kill most of the other robbers himself while the other peope in the store and other students were left behind tied up. Before he leaves to kill the other robbers, he held a gun at the students to stop them from making noise and following him. And they assumed he ditched them ran away (again they don't know what he did when he left them).

I'd assumed this would all get cleared up afterwards but for some reason the professors weren't sure if he was the one who actaully dealt with all the robbers (the only one they were sure of was the first one he killed in front of the other shoppers/students) ???

EDIT read a little further and it seems they do know he took out several people on the way out? I haven't seen a confirmation from the school, only that he went to a hearing and was let go. They did an official investigation and they let him go (according to him it was because he basically resolved the incident). My following still counts though because I still feel it was s*upid:

My dude, he's the only one with a gun????? What do you mean you can't be sure? He is the only one with a gun!!!! One of the professors was also arguing that he should get expelled for mu*dering someone and threatening the students????? The robber was threatening to kill them (and was holding one of the heroines by the hair to kidnap her). Like apparently they were fine thinking the guards may have killed the robbers but when he does it, it's wrong. (If a guard had done it they woild have been fine with it???)

Edit: this is following my previous edit in this spoiler. The rest of the students other than the girl who is the daughter of the man who owns the store, don't seem to know he basically saved them. And that makes me irritated because again, the school didn't realease anything?and the MC (who said he'd improve his image) is doing nothing to change that, he seems to be evenly actively hiding it. Great thing is they now just avoid him entirely now though instead of whispering around him lol

[collapse]

I'm fine with people distancing themselves and hating him. But the way the story goes about doing it makes no sense to me TT

Despite my entire rant, I still really like it...... Actually there is one more thing

Spoiler

it's so obvious all the original harem members are gonna end up liking the MC.... like so obvious I'm in pain ugh. The only ones willing to give him the benefit of the doubt are the girls/women he's met thus far....

Also the princess is midly ticking me off? She's not awful or anything. Just kind of wish she'd go ahead and investigate on her own instead of trying to after the MC. (Okay, I'm being nitpicky here.)

[collapse]

And another thing (I'm done after this, I promise) The fact he's considered a delinquent ticks me off? Maybe it's the translation, but when you consider all the horrible things the original villain did... delinquent isn't the word I'd use...... it just doesn't match up at all. That's just me nitpicking. (he's also sometimes referred to as the northern scoundrel, which is slightly better)

But yeah, despite all these, I'm gonna continue reading. I'll update once I get to 30. I think I'm just really ticked off my the amount of contradictions I keep finding. <<less

Regarding the previous comment: You're not overthinking it; it really is that way. At least I think like you. It's clear that he is the son of a duke, yet he is treated as an outcast and spoken of badly—that's bullying. The incident of theft at the store also irritates me, as you know. It's obvious that he is the only hostage carrying a gun. And if they were really skilled fighters as they claimed, they would have uncovered some truths. Nevertheless, they accuse MC... I'm really angry, but I... more>> will continue reading. It's a good novel, yes. I want to see a change in the way the main character is treated, as this is extremism—not merely criticism of his previous bad behavior. <<less
