Oh, this is a very good novel. Quite a nice and diabetic one with a good story.

So basically, our MC transmigrates into a novel as a member of the church. Knowing he's gonna find out if he f*cks around, MC decides to abandon his duties and run off. Somehow he manages to establish an orphanage adopting the male lead, female lead and antagonist. And if that wasn't enough, a tsundere villainess slides into his life under the guise of a 'contractual marriage'.

MC is op, personality is right and quirky enough... more>> so there's quite alot of comedy going on. The 3 adopted children are also interesting enough on their own and have their own stories going on so there's alot of content. The villainess is also quite fun to read since the tsundere is there but it's not the irritating kind. <<less

Well I am not a very good friend of English but I really want to write a review about this novel (partly because I am grateful to translator, he is doing excellent job) so I'll try my best.

An interesting and well-written novel. Maybe it seems so because of nice translation but the fact is I saw no cringe/unnecessary lines (not in terms of novel's circumstances but author being an idiot and adding thoughts or actions that characters likely not to have/do with their given setting). For me it's important as... more>> I often find such flaws and it annoys me a lot.

Characters are likable, MC (Harte) is neither a wimp nor your typical obsessive sh*t (really hate this trait), he is slightly religious due to his upbringing but not much. Righteous but playful should be description close to the truth. Also we have 3 adopted children. Yulian is a sharp-tongued boy trying his best to look like an adult, Tina is a girl with innocent and affectionate personality, Glen is a loyal one for whom MC is like a god's incarnation so he takes his words too serious. The third one has not many lines but it seems each child supposed to have his/her own arc so I hope it's temporarily. Don't want to spoil much so I will characterize fMC as just cute with interesting pre-story yet to be discovered by MC (though she unconsciously tries her best to be "caught")

The story itself is about OP (MC not being strong would turn comedy into tragedy really fast so no complaints from me) temple knight regaining his past life memories, realizing his world being that of a novel, abandoning temple and establishing an orphanage with orphans being main cast of the novel. Comedy is fun (especially after villainess' arrival), children are cute, MC is cool, fMC is lovely, plot is interesting without excessive suspense so for me it's firm 5. <<less

It's excellent. The relationships between the characters are nicely written although some parts like the relationship between Harte (MC) and Elphisia (FMC) seem fast that's because months passed by in the story which typically I don't particularly appreciate because it doesn't give time to build characters, this story doesn't need those moments and still builds a deep relationship between the characters. Overall very sweet story about a couple getting closer despite a contractual marriage while still intriguing readers into the mystery surrounding the characters.

Pros:

• • The main couple is very cute and they actively communicate which is rare in novels as not communicating is an easy way to create drama which this series doesn't need
  • FMC is very likeable

• • The translation is great, thank you Raei!

• • The story is easy to understand

• • The MC is dense but not in a bad way and isn't obnoxious
    Spoiler

    it's mostly because of his upbringing that he is dense

    [collapse]

• • Character interactions are very cute

• • MC is overpowered and doesn't shy away from using his power
    Spoiler

    At first he does try to hide but as he realizes it is fine he stops caring to hide it

• • Many sad moments make the happy ones even better
    Spoiler

    Chaper 85 was tragic
    thankfully it was a past timeline: (

• • MC is funny throughout the story
    Spoiler

    MC has a pretty funny thigh fetish
    at times:)

Cons:

• • Only 101 chapters... Why so short?: (

• • Although not required more relationship-building would have been nice

• • Spoiler

    MC has a thigh fetish and it goes into a bit too much detail

Short and good story. Like the story focused on Harte and Elphisia and their relationship. I actually liked the fact that God is actually quite merciful and gave them a chance for a happy ending. The children are cute and I wanted more screen time of the kids but it's fine. Overall this gave us what it set out to do and it tied up the main plot nicely so it's ok. Overall 3.8/5

The MC being an actual good person is refreshing. He starts off a saint, saves a bunch of children, helps everyone, lives a wholesome life, then gets married, things could develop from there as he could get closer to FMC, but MC wants to follow his old monastic chsstity despite being married, which is a bit scrupulous but fits his character, it's supposed to be a pretend marriage anyways, and they can develop that over time as they get closer to each other.

That is ruined midway through, as the author... more>> introduces us to the MC's thigh fetish which the FMC utilizes as her way to develop the relationship, had to drop at that. No indication that this would include that sort of content up until that point, and you'd think that sort of thing would make MC either avoid the FMC or lose his divine powers. <<less

The romance gave potential but I cant bear read any longer due to the cringy familial love of Harte and Tina. So unreal, the MC adopted a flower selling girl and very quickly grow an unrealistic bond with her. This a very sad downturn to me. The author should write a more dramatic or convincing to happen between them plot before the relationship could progress to that stage.

Still, Im giving this 4 stars out of respect for authors that write romance novel with male protagonist and no harem

Absolute peak, perfect family, perfect tsundere wife who spoiler already loves him and the story has both romance moments plus wholesome family moments to, just a perfect peak novel with zero bad things about it. I dont often give out this kind of review or rating but damn its just so good. I also love the flow of the plot as its unique and not something you've read 100 times before. I love novels where MC has kids or adopts them and this is one of the good ones on... more>> this site. <<less
