Reborn Healer #1
Reborn Healer
Legendary healers can save cities from the brink of death with a word, but warriors can destroy them just as quickly. Ren will become both.
Reincarnated into a world of magic and monsters, Ren gets a chance to live again. In a world where everyone awakens a single magical core, Ren discovers something impossible inside his two. One a mana-bound healer, the other a warrior that wields the shadows.
But power comes at a cost. Ren’s unique abilities come with powerful enemies and strange mysteries. Guilds, demons, and kingdoms scheme as an era of change comes to the new world, dragging him into a bloody mess.
Fortunately, it turns out he thrives with his life on the line. Ren will walk through fire and drown in poison if that’s what it takes to grow his power.
What doesn’t kill Ren makes him stronger, and healers are very hard to kill.
Perfect for fans of The Beginning After the End, The Primal Hunter, and 1% Lifesteal!

This is one of those isekai stories where the main character pops in during birth. So yeah, a lot of this is a kid being extra precocious. Not a bad conceit for a power fantasy, but it takes some work to keep from being tedious. I think the author does a fair job with that, though some elements take a bit to fall into place.
For example, Ren's parents appear to be negligent, clueless, or just plain dumb. They leave him to explore their home, give a toddler access to lots of books, including magic books, and leave for extended periods where a "neglectful" minder is in charge. It takes a long time to realize that this parents consider him part of a "new generation" of over powered births and are, themselves, on the extreme end of the local power curve. So it makes sense, kind of, if you accept the premise. Which I try to do.
The action is good enough to sustain the languid pace and the world is interesting enough that I was fully engaged. I did guess the mystery that kicks in after the halfway point pretty early. I thought it was obvious, but maybe not? Anyway, the reveal in the end was a bit of a "duh" moment for me, but I don't hold it against the main character. Much.
I'd give this five stars if the local organizations had been more fleshed out. The guilds and the local prince were a bit too much of whatever the author wanted the story to do. And some people were callous manipulators nobody seemed to suspect at all and that wasn't always very sensible, either. Still, I was entertained four stars worth, I think.
A note about the series: I thought I was okay with the final reveal, but for some reason it has sapped my desire to continue the series. I don't really know why. In case you are the same, I'll spoiler tag it here. I didn't think it was actually that much of a mystery, really, but maybe? Anyway, here's why I'm not that interested in continuing the series: .
A note about Chaste: The story ends with Ren entering puberty. There's no intimacy before that point, thank heavens, and no room for any after. Not that there's much "after", but he does move to noticing one of his friends is particularly pretty "in that way". So this is very chaste and that's a good thing.

I tried to get through this but had to quit two thirds in. The pacing is like a slice of life book which makes for incredibly long, boring sections. Given how long the book is, it seems to be just bloated filler. The main character knows nothing and is kept that way due to his horribly neglectful parents. They are abysmal and the cause of all this books issues. Had they done the bare amount needed to be actual parents, half the story would be unnecessary. This just lines up with all the other coincidences needed to advance this cheap plot.

Great to see him evolving in the new world. Wth his parents' help, he keeps his soul in balance. Now he has to find, communicate, and tell the elf from his world. Maybe resolving wars at the same time

Very good
I read about half this one Royal Road, so I may be either the best or the worst person to review this book.
Anyway. I loved it. I can't wait until the next one.
Highly recommended.

tldr; Standard trope of Isekai'd -> baby -> overpowered, well executed.
I loved this book. Admittedly, I have a strong personal bias toward this trope. The thought of a little kid being underestimated before whupping up on people gives me so much pleasure, and this book was full of it. Plenty of LitRPG progression too, and most of the MC's strength is earned, although he's born with all his previous life's memories plus an ultra-rare dual-core. Beyond that, he has to grind to figure everything out.
Ren (the MC) falls into plenty of danger as soon as he's a few years old and toddling out of the house. This requires him to rapidly level his healing abilities before he dies, due to poison, acid, or later on, a crazy-infectious plague that spreads across the land. It was scenes like this (where he had to rapidly heal to stay alive) that reminded me of Azarinth Healer, although AH has way more stats and abilities than this. Some people might disagree with me comparing this to AH which is such a blockbuster, but this is every bit as good a book in my opinion.
With Ren being a healer and helping out at his dad's clinic, he soon makes lots of friends. He's gonna need them, with an equal number of enemies queued up to take him out. His parents seem genuinely kind, though they are off screen most of the time, drawn away by their own backstories being revealed over time as the plot progresses.
Loved every minute. Can't wait to follow this one and see how it turns out. 5 Stars all round.

I love, Love, LOVE books about Healer's! And Ren is the best!
There's nothing that I like better, then when a Healer takes the stage! And being Reborn into a magical world/system makes it all the better! Ren realizes the moment he wakes up, what happened, and that he wasn't hallucinating, he had'ta get with it. But first he has'ta grow up and into his child's body. By age three Ren understands the language, both spoken and written and he has started manipulating mana! And at six he forms a core... only not just a single core oh no, Ren doesn't do anything by half, he created two cores. A Mage Core and a Warriors Core! And something that's so rare it hasn't been recorded! Ren still has a lotta growin' up to do as he learns and levels. He also manages to get between the cross-hair of two Guilds and a Lord Prince!
Ohhhh, yeah! You're gonna hafta grab this book to find out what happens! Because Ren and his alied friend Mizuki are AwesomeSauce! Before I forget I want to add in the fact that there's plenty of pop-cultural references too!
Here's a couple of quotes:
"When in doubt, try to psychologically break your opponent. Some Minecraft YouTuber had said that once. Either that, or Sun Tze. Unimportant, really."
"Come to think of it, did sunglasses exist here? I resolved to invent them if they didn’t already so I could be less dazzled by morning people."

Main character is a douche. He doesn't try to befriend anyone, except for an elf girl. Talks shit about everyone, except for the same elf girl.
Plot makes no sense. He gets a system message about some Neferti person. He then joins a guild to get info on this person... LOL what? Why? His parents are both underground, death dealing, super influential people. He can't just ask them? His mother can just portal herself in an out of any library, or ask other very well connected people.
Most everything can be solved by just talking a bit, instead he talks to no one, and then uses his lack in knowledge as a way for the "plot" to move forward. He never "needed" to join a guild.
He keeps shitting on things that could be fun. He's in a guild and immediately it is not fun. The dungeons aren't fun. Where is the fun exploring dungeons and getting loot? It isn't here. This dumbass MC never has any fun. He's always training. Training for what?
The lord of the city identifies the MC to have "extreme promise" and sends people to "go get him". But he identified this when the MC was like 5 years old, yet he only has 1 kidnapping attempt when he is 8 years old. WTF? The Lord guy knows exactly who he is, but manages to send nobody after him for years.
All of the plot is wishy washy, and the political stuff is all stupid.
The MC has been training since he is 2 years old, but at 12 years old, he is still getting beat by the 15 year old elf girl. How? Shouldn't he be vastly more powerful?
He has a spell, doubletime, that makes him 2 times as fast as normal. That spell alone mixed with his warrior core skills should make him better than any warrior?
He always has as much mana as he needs. He's a mage that casts like 100 spells during a fight. Makes no fucking sense. At the end of all of his fights he will be "tired and out of mana". Doesn't matter how many spells he cast.
So much stupid stuff. He loses the ability to use a leg, and yet he can still move and act as if both his legs work. What?
At 63% I just don't want to keep going. The plot is going nowhere interesting. The interaction between the main character and the elf is just boring and stupid. And they never do anything fun. It all feels like a chore.
DNF 63%

Good story. Poor editing. (Minor spoiler)
I enjoyed this story. Sure there were some funky parts and there was a ton of fast forwarding, but the story kept me engaged. Unfortunately, the editing was a mess. Missing words, repeated words, repeated turns of phrase two sentences in a row, words that were only half typed were all present to varyingdegrees. Pronouns were sometimes switched sentence to sentence. The most disappointing thing is that about 60% of the errors would be pointed out if the author had just put the story through Microsoft Word, let alone professional editing software. Many of the errors are so obvious that I can't believe the author even read the final draft.
There were also continuity errors. For example, when the MC gets his spear, it originally has a spear tip on one end and a sharp point on the other. At least twice before it is upgraded, he uses the "blunt end" to do things. Come on, friend, at least crowdsource some editing! It's like eating a really good meal where you have to keep picking cat hair out of it. There comes a point where it's egregious and fails to respect the reader's time.
Is it worth reading? Unfortunately, that depends entirely on your tolerance for poor editing. This one really is borderline. I could see myself dropping this partway through had my mood been a little different. It doesn't deserve 4 stars in all honestly, but only because ofnthe poor editing. Could have easily have been 5 stars

My reviews are my own. If you liked this book, I’m glad you enjoyed it. If not, I respect your opinion, so please respect mine. This is merely my view, so let's keep it courteous. My review is honest and voluntary.
Unnecessaryly long, and boring most of the time. The story is a combination of a slice of life and a progression story, which will not be a problem if it has a good plot. However, all we get is miscommunication from his loved ones, which could have been clear if they had actually talked. I hate when authors use miscommunication as a plot source instead of developing an actual good story. It feels like the author is fighting against their own character. At the halfway point, it turns into a political war story.....so inconsistent. Then there is so much time wasted on unimportant topics, but his leveling is developed in the blink of an eye. Big issues with pacing. I was expecting him to travel and develop his skill, meet fun people, and discover new things in the dungeon......it did not happen. Then it ends with a huge cliffhanger and an incredibly lame segway to the second book. Needless to say, I will not continue this series.
On to my next adventure, Happy Readings!!!

Well written but follows almost every isekai I've ever read or watched. The main character is obviously overpowered but he doesn't know why while his parents are also overpowered and he slowly realizes. Does the typical isekai thing where it's an office worker mind in an infant body.
Most of the book takes place while the main character is 12 but the beginning parts are when he's like 6 or 8. The character is written like he's 20 of course so it doesn't feel like you are reading a book that centers on a 12 year old.
The plot is actually good. It has an appropriate amount of mystery and goes through the character trying to solve this mystery. Everything else happens while he goes about trying to get answers. He does go on the typical I won't kill anyone healer stich but it does fade rather quickly and isn't really prominent while it's there.
There aren't a lot of side characters in this book but the few that are there have back stories with personality to match that. There are a few that aren't really fully fleshed out or you know very little about but in fairness they appear to be minor characters.
Long book but is well written and does have an actual plot. The main character has a little too much will power to persevere through pain but otherwise a decent story.

good story, some inconsistencies with he her, not a very bright MC
This is actually a pretty good story except for the following issues. Why do you authors want to give us MC’s? That are angst written. Yes, the MC had a bad childhood. Yes, his parents were not good and kind to him but doing the first part of this book. It goes on ad nauseam. Just give us a character who is normal well adjusted, balanced, is it too much asking for MC like that? The second issue is the character is written like he’s an idiot, he makes stupid mistakes, I’ll give you one in two instances of the story the MC travels down dark roads and gets jumped by an adversary. if you walk down a dark deserted back road and get jumped, would you do it a second time. A little bit more creative writing if you please. it really deserves a five but the MC needs to be written better. We’ll go on and read the next book because this one was worth the time. Give it a shot. It’s pretty good book besides my little quibbles.

Great story if you like your MC to be in the middle of everything and not being told jack about any of it by his parents and acting like a caring parent. Worst parenting ever. About to be executed for Hearsay at 12 years old after being kidnapped? "use all your skills to escape". Mom is out killing random people and Dad is training his more preferred students. Just guesses because we legit never get told anything. Almost get killed on purpose by dad's student? Never mention it again and the dad keeps the student. Dad and Mom do not teach him anything. Just a random friend/maid who trains him. The parents are gaslighting or some shit. Do not waste your time.
Edit: I do recommend his other series "The Silent Archmage" If you like The Irregular at Magic High School then this is pretty much a slightly different version.
Edit 2: this book is pretty much the first book of "Art of the Adept". Both are bad.

I Really wanted to like it
I will start by I didn’t finish the book because it frustrated me so much in the beginning that I couldn’t anymore. I hate reading novels that require you to overlook fundamental things and are inconsistent. I could not grasp the age of this protagonist it just kept going back and forth to the point I had to go back to see if I misread something.
It started out fine but then it would be like my second birthday and then go back to I’m not two yet. Like seriously. Third birthday things happened but now I am doing things with two-year old hands. Had fourth birthday father did something he has done EVERY birthday…I know because I went back and checked this specifically but now mentions he has only done it twice. It was only two years ago that was in another world. HOW?!!! The protagonist knew he was reborn from birth and it’s his FOURTH birthday. No thanks not for me. Maybe it gets better but I am not reading long enough to find out.

Dmf
the book struggles with consistency. One example is the book description positions the protagonist as groundbreaking—the first to possess two cores—building excitement around this uniqueness. Yet around 50% of the book, it casually downplays it, revealing that others have had similar abilities, making it feel only mildly rare rather than revolutionary. This shift undermines the story's early stakes and leaves a jarring inconsistency and there are other things like this.
Pacing is another issue: the narrative remains largely flat, with few genuine highs or tension peaks. Key moments, like a major reveal where a character explains it's all because of X, elicit little reaction—the protagonist simply says something similar to oh okay, and the group moves on without buildup or payoff. This robs the story of momentum and leaves big events feeling anticlimactic

Genuinely awful
I honestly do not understand how this book has so many positive reviews. I made it 53% and just couldn’t take it anymore! The MC acts like an obnoxious twit. Makes all sorts of comments that are awkward then blames “I’m a kid”! He’s almost a 40 year old man in that body by now!!!
MC has plot armor thicker than the Great Wall of china! He runs low on mana anytime he farts wrong, but when melting alive he can heal himself and someone else for a ridiculous amount of time! His parents are truly the most awful parents I’ve ever seen. They let a toddler just do whatever basically unsupervised.
Finally the attempted humor isn’t humorous, and the attempted political intrigue is about as intriguing as watching paint dry! I greatly regret the time I spent reading this and wish I could get it back.

great start
Good book and great start to a series. I try not to start a series until there are a few books out so now I have to wait six months for the next one. Not sure if the author is young, which would explain that generation’s inability to have difficult conversations, but more back story was needed for me as to why the mc couldn’t talk honestly with or have a good relationship with his new parents. Other than that the book had great characters as I just pretended they were actually adults otherwise a twelve year old is the most fantastical thing in the book. Could use much more adventure with a world dungeon readily available. Action was good. The biggest problem was the giant chapter headings that spanned pages.

It started off great but there were a number of writing issues that added up to negatively affect my enjoyment. Most I can't quite put my finger on and the ones that I can aren't worth singling out because it was only all these little things chipping away that truly hurt the story.
The one thing I will definitely point out that I didn't like was the narrator's narration voice. I've listened to books with him before and didn't remember disliking it this much, and his character voices are good, it's just the narration. It's a deep monotone with very little inflection and it's really easy to get lost in the words. I thought at first of a guided meditation voice, but I don't know... I almost want to say he sounds like an AI narrator, but that feels mean and not accurate enough.

I got hooked on this book and burned through it in a bit over a day. Shame the second book won't be out for a while, otherwise this was a fun read. I enjoy books that explore what would happen to an adult mind in a child's body (granted, if this were real, there would be issues with the brain not being fully formed yet, but with magic, you can get around that). A relationship does form, but it doesn't create any uncomfortable vibes (the other issue with adults in children's bodies is that the storyline can drift into creepy, and this book fully avoids that). Overall had a lot of fun reading this book and recommend it!

Reborn Healer is an interesting story. Not perhaps the best healer only kind of story, but I've always liked the stories best when healing isn't the only skill the character has, since it's ealways fun to watch others in the story mistake the healer for weak, only to find that, no, they aren't. Well done in this case, and I think I'll read more of this series, even if there is only 2 books in the series at the moment.

Boring story, annoying MC
The MC is very unlikeable. He is weak minded, weak willed, self loathing, and an idiot. On top of that, the author leans heavily on ignorance and lame excuses to drive the plot. Most problems could easily be solved by just asking anyone around him for answers. Also, children in this story are freaks... The author clearly has zero exposure to kids, and zero understanding of how they should talk or behave. 3 and 4 year olds fighting wild animals and speaking like adults is all kind of wrong.

Very nicely paced
A great entry from what seems to be a new author.
The overall set up is a bit of an homage to Mushoku Tensei, but overall once you get over that fact of the borrowed launching point, it does a very honest job at world building and character development.
The only structural qualm I have is that despite having ostensibly loving parents, they very much pasture raise this kid. I'll say that it is a bit disjointed from how parents would normally act and it's not well explained besides "they're always busy".
Otherwise, looking forward to the next one!

Very Shallow
The book lacks depth. There is very little world building, and a relative lack of dialogue and interpersonal interaction. For instance, the MC’s parents almost never speak to one another or are even in the same room together.
About 30% in the book stops making sense all together. MC suddenly decides he wants to join a guild (any guild) to get info on a person he’s never heard of.

Interesting, but typos
This is he interesting book, I didn't realize that the whole time that the main character would not get above age 12 or 13. I'm assuming a later books he will get older. I did keep getting pulled out of the story though due to typos, misspelled words words that didn't need to be there wrong words etc. I would suggest a beta reader or a better editor to catch these mistakes.

NO SPOILERS/b>
Not what I was expecting, in regard to the story. Some of the character interactions just felt off for me. Think it probably boiled down to the fact the main character is 12-15 years old dealing with adults. Progression aspects are there but the story just didn't work for me. Not sure if I was in the right frame of mind for it. Story did have good fights. Interesting world set up. It just didn't hook me.

I like the idea that the MC isn’t OP right of the hop. I found it amusing him having to grow up again. Although he does seem to be asexual. He is just hitting puberty and not even looking at girls or boys for that matter.
I do think all these super powerful children are actually reincarnated from earth. Even though only one was speaking English. The others were dead or dying when he saw them.
I will have to think about getting the next book

La trama es buena pero la historia tiene inconsistencias como la preocupación de sus padres con sus hijos. El protagonista tiene el síndrome de héroe, en este caso un sanador que se sacrifica para curar a las personas dejando de lado su propia salud, por lo que la novela pierde muchos puntos. Poco inteligente y manipulable.

interesting blend of Magic’s!
This was a great magic system, with its interesting twist. There was clear growth in the MC from beginning to the end. This is another great series to keep your eyes on. Looking forward to see what new adventures and powers Ren gets in the next installment.

Have read the first book in Ghost Flowers other series and don't know why I thought this would be more interesting... the characters are just so bland and... robotic!
it's as if the story was written by a computer with how 'feeling' the characters are especially the parents. I've finished it but unlikely to continue the series.

isekai everyone
A plane crash leads one person to reincarnating as a fully aware infant on another world (and nobody really cares about a mouthy five year old healer).
Lots of learning the magic system, figuring out divine mysteries and eventually delving the World Dungeon (basically the Underdark), with style and snark.
