Damn lol you have to be Impacted as fuck to see magic and not think “This is exactly what I could have used in my previous life” lol. He literally was looking at a woman using a massive ball of water and was like “pathetic”.

 

[XilumDreemurr]

Potential Peak Series???

 

[TempusAeternitas]

mmmh this gon be good 🥹

 

[Aenir]

I'm glad we got through the "withdraw from everyone" phase already. This looks promising.

 

[Bayaya]

Man, story about loss and how to recover from it always tear me up.

 

[N2O]

Neat! You don't see isekai dealing with imposter syndrome with being born into a new family a lot. It's very rare, and when it is brought up it's typically only for a chapter or so.. The tone of this gives me the sense that we might get to explore this mismatch between MC and the world he is in a bit more than your typical isekai, so here's to hoping for more of that

Yeah, usually the MC just feels bad for a page or two and then instantly forgets about his past family once he reincarnated.

He kinda reminds me of Rudeus from Mushoko Tensei (without the added weirdness), where even after reincarnating he still has to deal with the problems from his past life.

Thanks for the chapter!
I'm all for people with mental baggage getting reincarnated.
It's more realistic that way and not a cop out when they conveniently forget everything or the story conveniently throws it away since it was just the hook for the story.

kinda wish the whole reincarnation shtick was done differently, like instead of remembering everything, it was more like dreams/nightmares and deja-vu and stuff like that. It's just me but i am getting tired of seeing babies acting like 30yr old men

I’ll say to his defense, that was a paltry amount of water compared to what a fire hose can shoot out so it’s understandable he wasnt impressed. The other thing to consider is up until his mom used her ice magic, he probably had only ever seen small scale magic like the laundry stuff

Nah mate i agree with you. Most of the time them being reincarnated doesnt even matter in the end and could easily be rewritten without it

 

[SicklyToast]

Good start....chapter 2 where are you

 

[Jack1996]

Solid

 

[razorshaleh]

i hope this manga isn't typical reincarnation manga, where 30-year-old man is reincarnated but his mind is reset to a child and i hope he doesn't dwell too much on trauma he experienced before he was reincarnated


thank you for translating

 

[NateVG]

Woah I just check the web novel version and it's in a completely different direction! In the wn version his old family is still alive and well, no dead, no trauma, just your typical isekai fantasy story of him learning magic with his twin brother.

So this is manga exclusive which take on a different direction from the get-go which I prefer a lot more, since it will stand out among the slops out there lol

I’m only giving him the benefit of being impacted, I mean that.Yet consider he was around for years as a child, i.e. with the license to be inquisitive , and never thought to ask about the limits of magic nor investigate it nor read through books for records of magic? Like “If there’s fire magic, is there fire resistance magic?” or “If water can be output, how much can be output? I’ve seen a firehose in my world, is that possible in this one?” It’s that in all of that time he never seems to have even though it was possible to have powerful magic, without anything in the world dissuading him from that thought.


As I said I will give him the benefit because I attribute the lack of being impressed to simple "not being able to process the world properly" due to his trauma. An even better way for writing would be the “I searched but found 90% of people can only control X much, powerful magic doesn’t seem to be a thing here” which opens up the possibility of thematically bucking that trend or him having a boost due to being isekai’d etc.

 

[Sage_The_Wise]

WOAHHH ITS REALLY GOOD, I like how mc is having a hard time moving on from his past life , unlike 90% of the isekai where mc just forgets but their past in like 3 pages.
Can't wait to see more, just hope this doesn't get axed or smth
