After reading some rather dark LNs, this story is such a delightful read. Sure there are similarities to other stories and some plot armor developments but its pleasant to see the MC treating his family well and also learning from his past and from others.
With the latest chapter, 29, it seems like the misunderstood confession now appears to be somewhat tongue in cheek.
That said, it was like a gut punch when I read chapter 28’s ending. I am so glad for chapter 29! This has become one of my all time favorite manga!
