I like the premise of an unfulfilled life getting a second chance. I like that you went over a setting that not many explore. Yet for all the excitement I felt before even reading your first episode I couldn't finish it. I have read a fair amount of fanfic so I have plenty experience with Gary Stu's type of characters and while some might be bearable I have learnt that neither of them end up being the least enjoyable as the story goes on. Still I end up reading them in hopes that someone surprises me making it work. With that said, I'm astounded by your main character monologue's in the first episode. It is so unique in a way that Paula Smith's coined term is not even remotely close to describe his pathological manifestation of self worth. He is not the perfect hero, he isn't smart, he isn't a moral pantheon either and I just know that at the moment he opens his mouth this character won't be the most attractive male on earth either. Yet for some reason the author thinks MC is. I believe we are in front of something new, and that demands a new term.
