I'll be watching this one, but I have to complain about something: having something move your body around while you're unconscious wouldn't work as exercise. Exercise works to reduce body weight by burning calories via chemical work—however, if you're not moving your body with your muscles you're not doing any chemical work. Similarly, Luke won't get any stronger this way, as strength gains are due to putting strain on your muscle cells, which causes damage to some of them, requiring that they get replaced; continuous cycles of damage and replacement will signal to the body that it needs to reinforce the area to handle the presumed upcoming strain. Because Luke isn't putting strain on his muscles and is instead being moved around by an external force, his muscles won't get any stronger.

Tl;dr it sucks but you can't cheat biomechanics, not even with magic that does the work for you.

You make a good point but it does mention he gets muscle aches which can only happen if the body is put under strain, aside from handwaving it as magic it might be more like the magic uses the CNS to move the body or it flows thru the body like veins do and can have influence over the muscles since it also said it can reinforce muscles to be able to lift more it’s not a stretch to assume it can have its own influence over muscle movement

(Nevermind, it's not worth engaging thought over this, the author can just handwave anything related to how a guy can sleep while exercising by saying "it's magic, I don't have to explain shit".)

The artwork is pretty—I just want to hug the MC. But the reviews for the novel are very off-putting.

I like the protag so far. He's not all "oh no, I've been reincarnated as a character who was a piece of shit and died! I better freak out constantly and try to avoid EVERYONE for fear of death!"

Nah, he's just "well if I don't do bad things, I won't be a bad guy". God it's so refreshing.

I was thinking something bad would happen in the story but it's just the usual shenanigans of this kind of story, like harem, lazy mc, randoms gushing over him, 7 deadly sins....

The most offputing thing tho, maybe? the novel has the incest tag too

There are tons of similar ones, there are few where MC is someone who can be respected and looked up upon.
Up to chapter 3, MC actually sounds like an adult or at least someone who has enough brains to understand what he is, where he is and how to adapt. Wheres usually MC's are a mess and opposites of what i described.

I recommend it.

I've read the novel reviews and they aren't good, main takeaways:
1) MC is boring and too op
2) He is undeserving of harem and fans
3) His reasons for finding marriage partner is shitty
4) Poor world building
5) One dimensional characters
6) Everyone else is stupid

1) As many other isekai mangas(novels), they have the same troupe but the main POV is hard to watch or relate to. It's not about how OP he is it's about he uses it and journeys with it. It's not a battle manga (for now) where we need to see MC growing stronger, facing deadly enemies, almost losing their life and then be saved by power of friendship and plot armor.
The main point he isn't given his powers from the get go, he found ways to self improve from the age of 5.

Combine his adult brain with good pedigree and you have someone really OP, like that shit happens in real life all the fucking time. Someone who has good background, genetics and a motivation not to be a fuck up will likely rarely see any strong adversary in life, usually they snowball life.
Though i do agree that it is wish fulfillment manga, but i do not imagine i am MC but i can relate to him on the basis that he is lazy, stoic and logical.

2) Some people stated that due to his training regime (the way he does it) makes it feel cheap that he has so many fans......Bitch please, some people need to grind books and run crosses for many hours a day while some people need half of your time to achieve even greater results and guess who has more fans? The more successful one, your effort is important only to you and maybe people who will follow your footsteps others mostly like the result of your success.

3) Finding a wife based on her cooking magic(skill). Why not? Disney and movies in general are not representative of reality. Romantic love is the current trend because we were zombified. Reality is marriages were used for convenience almost always and people learned to deal with their partners and grow to love and respect them eventually.
He finds her appearance pleasant, she is also a noble and her skills compliment his way of life. Not everyone strives to be a king, some of us found zen in having it easy and enjoying life without the rat race.

4) Agreed, this is marker for bad writing. Above stated things are subjective of your way of life and outlook on the world. World building is an important pillar of every story.

5) Agreed, if characters are surface level it tells you that story is low quality. It's like living in a world of puppets and understanding that you are living in a world of puppets.

6) Also agreed that this is a major problem. MC being intelligent only by a factor that everyone else is around iq 80 and below might be a great factor for disliking something.

Could be flexibility than muscle.

But this is just some 'me want easy easy life, ha ha', in a warring medieval world. Yanno, the time in human history where even nobles needed to be fit. If there wasn't an incoming war i could understand, but man.

Hate it when people don't put in the minimum training and get maximally rewarded
