At this point we're just debating theology and the existence of a soul rather than if the story is well written or not. Some may disagree.
As I'm no priest I won't weigh in on a side however the point I'm trying to make regardless of dogma, is that isekai authors almost always handle these...
That's always the problem with bodyjacker isekai stories. It's not character growth that made him a better person, it's literally brainwashing. Yet they try to play it off like some heartwarming development
Thank you to OozutsuCannon for drawing fanart and to the OP for putting fanart in the translation credit pages but I think those are best left in the /a/ threads. They don't really fit the vibe of the manga and are out of place. I mean this in the nicest way to both of you.
it's such a shame mangaka try and speedrun their "childhood" arc so quickly. The moment when they are all children is something to cherish, it shows the growth of their bonds and where romance buds. To timeskip it in a page is such a waste
