Looks like the kinda future where he doesn’t earn respect until everyone he cared about is already gone.
Yup sadly

Wait, so he became a sage? So he did turn his life around, that's not that terrible.
If the price is you lost everyone important to you, its pretty bad, also their world's probably pretty fucked. Enough so that he had to step up and become better

Thanks for the chapter, you might wanna pick up a QC or PR though
Yeah, that's pretty normal for KS Group. Plenty of series they picked up lack QC/PR and have questionable TLs, too. (At times suspected of using MTL)

That is unusual. Normally in these stories the young protagonist is warned about facing certain death if they don't change their behavior.

Wait a minute his parents were STILL AROUND!? I thought they'd gotten called off far away to war or something, or had fucking died. How did they let things turn out this way!?

What other stories like this are there? I'm a big fan of awful people changing themselves for the better.

This reads like ESL or something. An edited machine translation would be better.

You know, that part is also unusual, I can't really think of anything applicable. The standard setup with these 'buta' piggy duke antagonists is that the original character gets replaced by some reincarnated doppelganger who does a complete 180 overnight rather than having a change of heart on his own.

Reincarnated as a villain stories are literally dime a dozen, characters with a protagonist who is a bad person but changes for the better are much rarer. The closest I can even really think of off the top of my head would be Onani Master Kurosawa, even then it's more like he BECOMES a villain and then has a redemption right at the end. Maybe stories about a 'Monster' learning to become 'Human' are a bit more common though.

That said I'm not a huuuge fan of how they handled the duel. He was rewarded too much after only a couple days of work. I think he should have apologized before the duel and then taken his loss graciously rather than winning. That said I guess this manga probably won't be super long term, and it's a monthly, so it probably needs a faster pace. But it would have been nice for Merleon to become a friend more organically than as a duel win condition, lol. Like he meets him after and piggy confesses some of his sins, so Merleon gets interested and starts to hang out with him occasionally.
