Firstly, the main character (MC) is not an evil character, to my liking and possibly not to yours. He is more of a neutral character trapped in the body of the villain, desperately trying to defy his destiny. The MC is largely confused about his identity and appears to be hurtling towards a fatal conclusion. The MC and the original hero are like two sides of the same coin; they both endured similar traumatic experiences, but one was favored by fate while the other is scorned by life. The hero, by virtue of being a hero, enjoys unfair advantages, while the MC relies in his "inner talent." Both are engaged in losing battles, the hero against the MC and the MC against himself.The story leans more towards shonen than seinen in manga terms, adhering to the classic tropes of reincarnation into a villain. The elements I appreciate:*No harem, slow romance *MC's powers: ice, chaos, space, gravity, and possibly more in the future *Well-executed fight scenes, though some battles seem too long *The dynamic of the hero striving to catch up to the MC, who is simultaneously trying to overcome his future self *Well-developed side charactersThe elements I disliked:*The plot takes time to settle at the beginning*Some power-ups for the MC and the hero needs more struggle to be acquired *Occasional typos in the first 100 chapters, though not overly bothersome*I wish for more updates*Some fights are lengthy, making them feel stretched*Last point is more of an untapped potential in exploring other races, planets, and worlds besides the humans and dragonsWhether you consider this a perk or flaw depends on your perspective:*Clear improvement in the author's writing evident throughout the story*The narrative is a power fantasyIn conclusion I enjoyed reading this novel despite some of it flaws and I can't wait to read more. That is why i decided to reward the author with a 5 star review.
