This is an enjoyably fresh take on the respawn/do-over story ( MC dies, finds himself waking up in his past, generally as a teenager with knowledge of the future.) It's well written, no info dumps (at least, nothing that *feels* like an info dump) and a good balance of dialogue, action, reflection and description.It's fresh, because instead of being OP because he's now a know-it-all, he's gone from being a know-it-all to being a newbie. There are a few more inversions of the type, including a lack of revenge-driven plot, and some choices that are more the road less traveled than inversions.There's a nice touch of levity, and kudos to CrossArk for putting in a very timely prologue ( I don't normally like future glimpse prologues, because the synopsis should have given the reader enough of a glimpse of the future, and they very rarely add to the story ) that doesn't do any spoiling, but has some good advice. I hope it will make for some nostalgic reading in the months and years to come.My only complaint is the release schedule - more chapters, please!!
