Nah, the way the author is just making the mc's gratitude or feelings for kenji while he's still doing the same thing along the way even after restarting feels like an excuse to make the mc seem like a little redeeming. But it doesn't change the fact the he already fucked every girls around kenji being aware and without remorse. The only thing he regrets is being found out lmao. And still, let say he restarted everything and didn't go the kenji route, this time he still did the same thing to the other kingdom, fcking the girls (the sister and the princess) around the other dude. He felt a little regret again because he got "found out" again and the dude killed him. Lmao what a shit show.
