It's a cheesy story. The story has its issues such as the author changing the personalities of the characters and their importance in the story with each chapter. It's a prevalent issue with the format anyway since Korean authors plan their stories ahead of released chapters like Japanese or English authors do. At the very least, it's at the middle of the spectrum with the characters not being completely forgotten about, but I'm sure that'll change when/if the chapter count reaches into the hundreds.
The art is definitely very good though and it does a decent job at the comedy aspect. You can expect something on the level of "Otomegē Sekai wa Mobu ni Kibishii Sekai Desu." The plot does have me intrigued but I'm afraid it will suffer from the characters being forgotten about.
Tentative 9/10 for now.

writing is kinda cringe, story is kinda contrived, mc is a bog standard "went back in time and has the perfect solution to every problem" type of character and a lot of the humor falls flat(for me at least) and of COURSE it has to have a mascot character too.

Just kind of generic and not super exciting? I'd give it a 7/10. Worth reading a bit to see if it's your kind of thing.
As of chapter 52 I'm not sure why, but im so bored with this story I'm dropping it. This has been steadily mid, never too bad but never good either. The best part is the art but the characters and specially the MC never left an impression.

I like it, but mainly cuz it is "the lout of the counts family" with some improvements. The setup makes more sense, there's a clear motivation to the story and therefore a clear ending goal, the MC is a bit more likeable and he doesn't feel like he's straight up robbing people of their destinies. The people he gets things from were either clearly going to die and then still benefit greatly from what he used or he's robbing his own past self (and a rabbit I don't really have a reason to feel sad about him tricking). They are still a part of the story afterwards and have some ability and the MC actually faces some setbacks.
However, it's got some big problems. Some scenes and characters are just straight rips from the lout of the counts family when the author definitely could have changed some stuff, the author tends to forget some mechanics exist, there still is a sense that things are too easy for the MC and of course many of the problems that come with a back to the past story (nothing on what happened to the original body's owner and is surprised changing things changes outcomes). It also looks like it's an adaptation and I get the feeling a lot of character interaction and banter got cut. There's just not enough happening for me to really fall and care for the side characters, even one I particularly like. I get the impression that there's a lot about that character that's cut out, and it's disappointing.
Still not bad enough to drop and the fact that it has an end goal and won't meander forever is going to keep me much longer than the lout of the counts family. Sorry Cale, can only watch you just robbing everyone and the original MC following you like a dumb puppy for so long.
