Hello, it's me, Goblin, the translator!

Since a lot of readers are forming some premature opinions about the protagonist and the novel (after only reading 10-15 chapters), I will have to address some points about why he acts the way he does, specifically towards the female characters.

We all know that tigers are scary. They are inherently significantly stronger, ruthless, temperamental and will eat you if you do something to anger them. Imagine you are a normal human, and despite having great status, you have grown up in relative poverty. Now imagine... more>> that you suddenly have to live with about six of those tigers for years. What will you do? Will you s*upidly stand up and get eaten, or will you be logical and fear them for what they are, and try to get the hell away from them if you have the chance?

That is the protagonist's mindset, he is not spineless or cowardly, he is just realistic, and he does fight when he knows he is in the same level as his opponent. Anyways, you will understand more if you read until about 50 chapters. I am also reading as I go, so I will add more opinions here as I read. Thank you! <<less

The MC is a guy who had an ambiguous position throughout his life: he's a duke's son but the dukedom is about to collapse, dirt-poor and doesn't receive any respect from other nobles; he's not terrible at fighting but has no real talent; he's not lazy, but doesn't feel the need to put in too much efforts, etc. And then, everything went wrong when the Witch of Winter completely froze the land and he had to run away to survive. He was thus considered a traitor and put in jail,... more>> until they decided to form a subjugation party with him as a guide.

The party was full of young women who, somehow, fell for him. But what happens when you put women who can't properly express their feelings together with a dense guy? Well, obviously, the MC ended up thinking he was bullied by the girls: the elf despises humans, the Saintess is a monster-level nag, the Princess is a sad*st and the childhood friend treats him like a pet... he thinks.

Then the party confronts the Witch, he dies during the process, only to regress ten years back and wake up in bed with the younger Witch sleeping by his side. But he's not the only one who regressed. The whole party is back from the future, and, this time, they plan to properly convey their feelings and win him over... but he dislikes them and wants nothing to do with them.

That's the guist of it.

Truthfully, there are a lot of mysteries in that story. I keep on reading because I'm pretty curious about so many things...

But, I have to say I have a problem with the MC. On one hand he is quite lenient with the Witch, who supposedly destroyed his life, or the fiancé, who broke his heart, while on the other hand he can be really cruel toward the other girls, even though, aside from the childhood friend (who didn't know how to interact with the only person she has ever loved (family members included) and ended up bullying him), they really didn't do anything that bad to him (the Princess' training was harsh, but at the end of the day, it was only to ensure his survival). He doesn't seem to care about anything and doesn't try his best in anything even after getting a second chance. He just plans to live his life while avoiding the heroines and that's it.

I get that he will probably change later, but still, seeing the story from his perspective is quite frustrating because I can't relate to his feelings at all and, truthfully, I don't think he deserves their love. <<less

The only good is the translation.

Reading this just doesn't feel good.

as mentioned in description/synopsis, the MC regressed back... but all his behaviors and personality is just your typical cliche weak novel noble.

Before regression it was show he already become a Duke, have a good head and a "survivor".

But then after regression, non of it matters. Therefore I'm very confused why bother giving him the background and introduction?

Even the Sister that he strongly want to protect before regression was briefly mentioned then forgotten.

I suggest you skip first couple chapters/prologue. They don't quite make sense in developing the back story. Instead they are used to introduce members of the harem.

Spoiler

The MC is the Duke of where the witch was found and is imprisoned using that as the cause. Then he apparently has to guide the expedition party which consist of 4 women who will most likely be part of the harem. He is the only servant and performs all the menial work since he is a "criminal". Additionally, they take a year to go back to the duchy even when the empire is starving because of endless winter. You would think there should be some urgency to killing the witch.

It doesn't get that much better after the regression so far.

Spoiler

Author is setting the MC up for incompetence. The MC is bored and not paying attention to the high-level politics during the meeting with the Emperor. Why doesn't he care about the conflict between his family and his former fiancé's family?

MC is weak and spineless. Literally getting bullied despite having been a duke. Why even give him that backstory if he's just going to be a doormat?

The writing and translation are good though so if a wet noodle protagonist isn't a deal breaker for you then it might be worth a read.

It's an average novel but still didn't convince me.

The novel takes itself seriously but the events are straight from a Romcom, so they clash. The chapters are very short so the author wanted to go right at the heart of the drama (MC and the heroines), which to be fair is very interesting, but that's just ignoring the blatant excuse that is the Witch's existence. Why did she appear? How did the MC go back to the past with her? How comes she doesn't remember anything? What's the extent of... more>> her powers?

Another gripe I have with the novel is how the MC complains that his life's been a living Hell after the appearence of the Witch. But was it? Due to drastic climate changes, food shortages and starvation were commonplace, yet the MC (the 'culprit') was not only spared but fed by God knows how long before ordered to deal with the Witch. Afterwards he was 'tormented' by his party memebers yet it came across more like having to deal with a bunch of tsundere girls than being physically and mentally tortued for years (granted, it's not like the author put much effort to develop their prior relationships). Which just begs the question of what did they see on him?

Now it seems we're full on MC will somehow recruit all the powerful people in the nation and do whatever because the Big Bad has amnesia so there's no impending doom, no regret for his poor life decisions to change or anything. <<less
