Ok, I am genuinely confused now.

The Title and Plot Summary says that the MC was a Extremely Studious (which didn't amount much as he still ranked low and what was needed for his job weren't taught, like communication or life skills) & a Corporate Slave working Overtime in his previous life, so he would live his new life as he wanted free from the shackles of his previous life.

But he is practically back to his old self of going to extreme even in his new life.

That's the primary conceit of the character. His psyche has been so fundamentally broken by studying that his first approach to anything is to study. He loudly complains about academics, but goes at it harder than anyone else and encourages a society that requires it.

And it's played for comedy, despite being a tragedy that only functions because it works better than the existing system.

I forgot to point this out before, but why is this Chapter released as Split?
Since the Raw on the Official Comic Walker Website isn't Split (and it seems the translator plans to split this in more parts as there are more pages left in Chapter 1).

And as per Mangadex's Upload guidelines 3.2.2,

"Chapters may only be split into parts if the source material was also split in the same way. Chapters that have been split up by the scanlators for any other reason may be recombined into singular whole chapters."

What do you call someone who studies all the time? A studyholic?
Apparently the condition falls under "Workaholic", because studying too much isn't seen as a negative thing yet, so they combined the condition with another situation to downplay the issue.

"Studyholic" word does exist, but it's treated as a slang rather than a proper word.

This is strike 2 for me honestly, the story is not bad but if I see one more split chapter (while the source isn't) from them without good reason then I will just report them.

They would probably release more in parts, since they release 1.1 with 15 pages, while 1.2 with 17 pages, which makes a total of 32 pages so far.
In the Raw, Chapter 1 is 55 pages long.

Meaning there are still 23 pages left to cover, which they could either release at once in 1.3; or split and release in 1.3 & 1.4 by dividing 23 pages as 12-11 or something like that.

it sounds like this dudes previous life fucking sucked, studying 18 hrs a day just to not get into the college of choice, study more in college and then spend half your working life studying more skills. wait a second, that sounds so familiar...

I mean, 'bad table manners' aside (esp for 'nobles' lol), you could easily eat and study at the same time

tho you'd think he'd find a good balance or able to use his influence or so (like an 'aide' to take notes for him or so XD)

Strong start.

Stupid, provably wrong, ridiculously inefficient style of studying is irritating, but...

I'm here for giggles, so it's all good.
Why do people seem to think that "studying" is just filling up a bucket? As if you can learn more just by adding MASSIVE amounts of time?

People who have a PhD, people who win the Fields' Medal (math), the Heineman or Shaw Prize (Astrophysics), or the Nobel prize (for Arts or Sciences); people like that?

They don't study for 18 hours and skip meals. Because you aren't just pouring knowledge into the bucket of your brain; it doesn't fucking work like that, and people who do that have a failure rate of something like 70 to 80%

Because humans aren't buckets; I know that's a tautology, but...
I mean, you can't teach a horse calculus, yanno? And it's not because horses aren't cool, nor because you can't communicate with them; it's because you didn't start early enough. If you have about 1,432,000 years to help them evolve into having a human brain, then... yeah; you can teach a horse calculus.
Otherwise, they just keep being a horse.

Bu the same token, humans have brains that work like a paranoid primate who likes to divide by 12, so you won't find it useful to simply read books from cover to cover; even with an eidetic memory, humans need the time to creatively apply the new knowledge to multiple situations before they actually learn the knowledge.

Hell, that's why the teacher won't let you use a calculator on your Math 95 homework and/or Final; it's so that you will access that knowledge outside of class without needing a technological device for thinking about it, leading you to a greater understanding.

Just pourin' water in a bucket don't give ya soup; ya gotta season it, first.

Please don't tell me you actually read all this...?!
