@TNT261 You can, but that doesn't make it right or even logical.
Cheap, maybe. Wrong? How? He's literally doing what is commonly seen as impossible.
And what rules exactly is he breaking? When were they hashed out to the point you can tell what's being broken? Where is the wiki explaining what...
@TNT261 That's all assuming a lot, including the fact that he rebuilt anything physical. He said he redid his magic and that could include just changing the very way he performs magic. The strain issue is why he isn't human any more. His limitations on casting magic have obviously been changed...
@Wyrm Agreed. Especially the fact that the author had him actively acknowledge that he's already changed the timeline is important for me. It seems like something obvious but almost all redo manga ignore it like the actions of the MC only matter within the events and don't have consequences to...
@Kradnam I mean he actually loves her and just not 'had a relationship with her'. Therefore that won't change just because he time slipped, regardless of whether she would feel the same about him this time.
@yfg The pacing is definitely a part of it but rather than just the split parts it's how fast and yet slow the story/character seemed to change. Some of the dense jokes were a bit overdone as well
@OmarAlsoBilly I agree most of the 1s are because of people like that. For me personally I just gave it a 6 and dropped it because the comedy wore off quite fast for me. It didn't seem to have enough variation to the gag to keep it going.
I can feel how fragile his being okay is. He's one step away from a total relapse.
@catbot158 The tone and framing is always important in this series so you bet there is going to be problems. He's kind of too desperate about it to be actually okay.
Finally we're back to main storyline. Also it's true she's acting like her ex in wallowing in her own sorrows and insecurities and hurting MC because of it.
