the 15 year old third prince, Prince Wald, who in the initial part of the story is disguised as his twin sister, Princess Kathrine. It’s weird. Im sorry.

Reincarnators seems to be stuck at the mental age they died at. We meet another reincarnator who was a teen when she died and even as her body ages, her mind remains a teenager. Which is kind of weird if you ask me.

I did skim ahead to the later chapters, and they kind of explain it. But I think it still doesn’t make sense. Your life and age is built upon experiences and memories, these people are still living in this world. They are remembering their experiences. How can they not age mentally? That just seems really weird.

The third prince, Prince Wald is our love interest, the third prince who is 15 years old at the start of the plot. And from skimming ahead, seems to be 16 when they get together. Honestly. I’d have no issue is there was like a 5 year time skip between their first meeting and then a reconnection once the prince is of age, but it comes off extremely weird that it doesn’t seem to happen.

MC talks about people being considered adults by 15 in this world. But he also is very must still tied to his original Japanese identity where he feels that 15 is the age of a middle schooler! I’m sorry, this is just... uncomfortable. Also, really, in the 50 chapters I read, they have no romantic chemistry. It’s definitely more of an older brother/mentor vibe. I don’t see how in the next arc they progress romantically.

the country at war with the MC and ML home country is basically run by a bunch of Reincarnaotr who abandoned the MC’s original country 6 years ago due to an scandal between a female reincarnation and the ML’s royal uncle. They claim that the ML’s uncle r*ped and imp**gnated the girl leading to her su*cide. So the reincarnators and the adventurer’s guide who backs them, basically killed the Uncle and 250 innocent people who worked at his residence in revenge, while also having the kingdom pay recompensation. However, this female reincarnator’s, a fellow SS ranked reincarnator didn’t think it was enough, they abandoned the country. Took over another and then instigated this war 6 years later with th goal of wiping out the royal family including literal children, in revenge for something they already took revenge for. It’s absolutely infuriating how self righteous they are and how they treat the living, breathing people of this world as NPCs. They are born this world, but because some have power, they believe they are better and are ruthless about it.

for later spoilers, the Adventuer’s Guild, in my opinion, tries to wash their hands of the guilt of mu*dering innocent people in conflict and revenge by claiming to be protecting their own. While ignoring the various native people of the world who are also r*ped, sold off and ens*aved. It’s really... blood boiling. It’s hypocritical as hell. It really is. It’s fine to them, so long as it’s not a reincarnator getting tortured and tormented. They don’t seem to want to fix the world, only hold power, control and safety in their hands.

many people in this world, especially in the military camp seem weirdly, overly, h**ny. Like everyone seems to leer at the MC because he’s attractive. Also they assume any officer have a platonic relationship with him is inherently him crawling in their beds. I find it a bit strange. I think it’s an author predilection honestly. Because there is an underlying current of s*xual assault and harassment, and lingering air that beautiful or attractive people are constantly at risk of being r*ped at any moment. It’s kind of uncomfortable and honestly feels extremely unrealistic. Like female reincarnators are constantly at risk of s*xual assault it seems but so are the native women of the world. It’s just... not a vibe.

well, overall there are 3 arcs, the first (c1~c49) is the Tisia war that our protagonist got involved in as soon as he left his village. Here he starts to learn more about this world (he was kinda a recluse in his own remote village), and about other reincarnators and their positions in this world. And yes, he met the ML here, but with a twist.

I would call the 2nd arc (c50~c128), the fugitive arc, where our protagonist is on the run with the ML trying to return to their country while avoiding enemies, there they'll actually make connections with spirit horses and the closed-off elves! And starting in this arc our protagonist starts to be open to his feeling as the ML already fell for him. They're quite sweet too, but this is just a minor element compared to the whole adventure plots. And we can see the character growth in this period as they have to depend on each other to survive.

and the supposedly last arc (c129~ the novel still ongoing and the end still not in sight), is after they finally reach their country after more than a year and have to deal with the mess left by the war and make their relationship official. There is also a major mission of dragon slaying! And properly confronting the so-suspicious Empire and the Adventurers Guild where all the other reincarnators are. Some surprises awaiting them.

I dived in this wanting to read simple BL novel with typical plot, even typical isekai plot of OP chara or MC making a harem. But boy oh boy, I got way too invested in the characters and I was not expecting deaths, but alas that is typical with seinen-like JP stories, there will always be tragedy in the middle.
