Would of been 4/5 if not for...
This is a fun book to read—a slightly different take on being reborn. It would have been 4/5 stars if not for two things that knocked it down to 2/5.
First are all the women in this book: nurses, teacher assistants, schoolgirls, nobles, and girls who don't like him. All seem attracted to him and want to kiss and flirt. He does have an intimidation ability that seems to do the opposite for females, but he doesn't use it.
The second thing is that he treats women like objects and has such a big ego. He won't fight girls, and they need protection at all costs, but he is okay with trying to sleep with multiple girls while lying to them. If the author took out the sexual component of the book, it would be better. It doesn't help that he's only 16 as well. Yes, he has the mind of old life, which is 30, but it's just creepy.
Here are some examples of creepy behavior:
And of course, all the women see this as roguish and charming and want him more. The author doesn't seem to understand how a woman would react to something like this; the way women act in this book is like how a teenage boy thinks women act, and they think everything he does is amazing and heroic. The author needs to get a woman to write the female character.

An unusual but interesting by an author new to me.
The MC is a high level warrior who fought and won against a demon invasion. But at the cost of his own life. He awakens in a similar reality, in the body of a 16 year old, Arthur. In this new reality, mages use prana, a form of mana to create spiritual armor and offensive spells. The MC does not have access to prana, but to fractal magic, which is an alternate mystic system that the demons he fought employ. Fractals are rare in this new reality, but through his past life experiences along with his memories of fractals, Arthur can defeat the prana armor and many offensive spells.
In this new reality he is a commoner thrown into a noble school and set upon by those who consider themselves his betters. They arent! Then he finds that both angelics and demons along with their minions are attempting to form anchors in his new world.
There are many similarities to the author's Gaslighter series in the circumstances and general attitude of the MC. Both are commoners who hobnob with nobles, seducing their daughters and upending the status quo with an unusual mystic affinity. Both seem to take place in a more eastern bloc setting which has a different culture and general feel than American stories. For example, the level of everyday corruption while present in the US is so much more pervasive, along with a might makes right mentality. Corruption is a worldwide phenomenon, but the casual way nobles ignore repercussions is an eye-opening cultural difference.
I enjoyed both stories but found this one to be somewhat hard to follow as it was sometimes difficult to determine if the MC was remembering his past life, or involved in a current situation. There was some confusing overlap, especially in the beginning. I'm still unsure how he was able to use physical martial arts to defeat spiritually armored foes before gaining access to fractals.

This story is a completely different take on isekai-tensei (Different world with reincarnation). Here our hero comes back to an alternate universe version of his previous world, which includes people he knew before. None of those people are reincarnations, though, and they behave differently and even have different motivations. It does get a little confusing at times, trying to separate the flashbacks from the current action.
The hero inherits his super-powers by slaying demons, his power from the demon "General Yak" is a general intimidation/aura power. He discovers in this world it also serves as love potion power amongst women and girls in the area when he unleashes it, and this power lingers for a week or more. Contrary to another review of this book, he does invoke the Yak power several times around the girls in his school.

I really liked it , but...
A few things point to this being an ai generated story.
Some of the conversations use weird words or phrases, and some simply make no sense.
Ideas or actions are known by the mc and not the reader, implying something happened that was never written.
Example, a "brush" is mentioned twice, once when a girl grabbed it, and at the end when he uses his "paintbrush" to heal his hand. Making me feel insane because he was carrying around a brush the whole book, and no one ever told me!
The craziness of parts aside, I did enjoy the story, so I'm off to the next in the series.

DNF at 43%
Story was all wishy washy and I could barely figure out what was happening all the time.
The MC is a creep. An adult in a teenagers body that try’s and somehow (the authors weird need to treat woman as objects rather than people with opinions) success. This includes teenage girls and grown adults.
For a character who has fully grown into an adult it’s weird to have the character attracted to school children!

Not worth it
This author… I don’t know if it’s a cultural thing or if he’s just a giant incel/mysoginist, but he writes like a creep.
The main character isn’t particularly interesting. Total Gary Stu, the plot is markedly similar to the authors other story as well.
Not really worth ready unless you’re also an incel.
