Like the writing here is good, the characters are great, and the story is interesting, but I'm immediately thinking of dropping it now that he's been shafted into another body... The storyline with the original owner was my least favorite part of While I'm Getting Revenge, I'll Become Top Idol and to a lesser extent even Debut or Die's original owner plotline bothered me. It just doesn't work. Your reader is always going to sympathize with the character we're following more, but they won't forget about the original owner without any explanation. If the end goal was to have MC leave the body eventually, this story needed to set us up for that immediately. And if MC is going to get the body back after all this... I'll be PISSED. Ise is 24, no matter how you spin that you're not convincing me he's better off anywhere but in his body with the mother who loves him?
My honest opinion is that Ise should have regressed and had the story center around the real Ise with an updated personality (close to our MC) from more life experiences instead of... whatever this is. You could have even had Ise regress to this exact point... I think I'm so disappointed because I genuinely love this manhwa. But I don't think there's a way to come back from this... sob
