Starts off great, but as you read, characters, MC included, begin to feel shallow, power scaling and parts about martial arts are inconsistent. Overall, world settings and people are roughly stitched around the main plot events (side plot is almost nonexistent, world is wayyy too focused on protagonist), but since plot itself is generic, it comes off as very unpolished. 34 chapters might be too early for final judgment, but reading after I Became The Necromancer Of The Academy written by the same author, The Son-In-Law Of A Prestigious Family... more>> Wants A Divorce is lacking. Single smoking rebel girlboss turned maid has more personality than entire cast of this story. <<less

MC regresses and plans to leave his wife to escape her cruel family.

It's a good read, but suffered from a moderate amount of stalling the plot. The wife's reason for not helping MC ab*se from her family is withhold. When the wife visits the MC, the author stalls by having her hid as a maid for many chapters doing nothing but gaze from afar. MC also withholds his divorce arrangement so the 2nd female lead is in unnecessary limbo from falling for a married man.

The female lead is adorable and... more>> cute, but some can find her irredeemable as she's been cold and neglectful to MC for years. They past love story is nice though. Hearing how MC gotten through her ice walls before. MC and 2nd FL is nice to read. Not much romance yet, but a slow burner through training, learning, and combat.

This plot outside the relationship is interesting too. As the MC has prior knowledge of an upcoming tragedy and he's doing the best to help his the rival family of his in-laws; 2nd FL's family.

Overall, it's good but drags. <<less

Knowing it's a story written by the author of Bamboo Forest and I Became The Necromancer Of The Academy, I was quite curious, and so far I'm not disappointed.

The MC is a commoner who somehow got into a love marriage with the eldest lady of one of the most important noble families in the kingdom, but after five years of marriage, he ended up running away from her. Not only was he ignored by his father-in-law and relentlessly bullied by the rest of his in-laws, but his wife also never... more>> openly took his side; he even lost a leg because of the jealousy of one of his brothers-in-law (who was actually trying to kill him). After running away he spent ten years trying to find a way to overcome his disability and wield a sword again. In this process he wrote martial arts books, which enlightened a lot of martial artists. Then, suddenly, the wife he had not seen during the past ten years died on the battlefield and he received her corpse and discovered that she never took off her wedding ring throughout these years. It made him wonder if she had had any regrets. So, after humanity's ennemies, the Transcendents, invaded the kingdom and he died only to find himself back to the past on the day he lost his leg, the MC decided to immediately get a divorce, not only to free himself from his wife's family and her from her lingering feelings, but also to walk his own path as a martial artist.

One thing I like so far is that the MC is pretty determined. He doesn't waver much in his beliefs and is not confused about his feelings. The most important thing to him is his martial art and preventing the destruction of the kingdom if possible, and he does his best while not being baddass at all to accomplish those two things. He is intelligent, straightforward and strong (mentally).

The wife, Rihanna, is a bit of a mysterious character... She doesn't know how to express herself. She clearly loves him, but she doesn't seem to be able to take any decision for herself. Maybe her development will be as interesting as the MC's.

It's only the beginning but I really like how it's funny but serious, bittersweet but also action-packed. Most of the characters introduced so far are interesting and I actually want to know what's happening to them (and not just what's going on with the MC).

So, for now I really recommend it. <<less

A disappointingly bland world with one-dimensional caricatures in place of characters. The plot is okay... regress, become stronger through plot armor, save the world while collecting a harem. The usual, easy plot. Where this one really falls short for me is the one-tone protagonist who is supposed to be charismatic, but just isn't. It doesn't matter how much the author says a character is 'so handsome, and charismatic, and praise-worthy, ' if the author never actually shows it. (Characters commenting "wow, so charismatic!" are telling, not showing.)

Fine for turning... more>> off your brain and passing the time, but I'd limit my expectations to just that. <<less

It's good. As CrisisCode said, MC is determined and it's unknown why the wife allowed him to get beat up. MC knows there's more to the story, but he doesn't care, he wants to improve himself in this second chance.

The pacing flows smoothly, but things look grim for humanity. They're weak compared to their enemies and they're not competent enough to make up for their weaknesses. Going from what was said, there are only a few actually strong people who can stand head to head against the enemy. MC is... more>> very weak, but competent, however, the beasts are many times stronger than him. I can't honestly see him getting strong enough to actually defeat those monsters. There would have to be a time skip or some inexplicable power boost. <<less
