I hate when they do that
It's like the complete opposite of when the MC knows everything beat for beat and the events play out exactly, and just flexes on everyone
oh dang right he was reincarnated... might as well just forget about that info since it ain't really that necessary
Not sure if they'll include it in the manga, but the novel has chapters that reveal what would have happened in the original timeline had MC not taken the kids under his wing. So, indirectly relevant, I guess?
But I like it this way too bcz it means his living this life to his fullest rather than mopping his around his reincarnation
It does show up for the eldest girl. And that's just for us, the audience.
Normally, the reincarnation trope never let's you forget that the mc reincarnated because they'll be using their all knowing knowledge from their past live.
But he just used his past lives knowledge once and that was at the beginning. Maybe the novel has more scenes of the knowledge utilization but that all that I meant
It does hold relevance. In his previous life, he lost all of his family and would come home to an empty house. This is what drove him to take in all those children and become a protective dad in his current life. Him being here with his past memories changed the original events of this world. The story showed glimpses of what happened to the eldest daughter and all the other children in a timeline where Gray wasn’t in their lives, and it was grim. Gray’s slight knowledge of the “characters” in this world also gives him better insight into certain things like the friction between the “protagonist” and the hero that seems predestined but may be overcome with proper support.
I was just about to bring this up. His previous life is the biggest motivation behind a lot of his actions. Also, he hardly knows anything about the game he’s in, it says so in chapter 1. What were you expecting from this?
I mean, it's just so forgetable of a story point that hardly comes up so it almost feels unnecessary.
so much so that he could have had the same backstory as a resident of that universe and nothing about how he acts would've changed except his reason for helping them out in the beginning was because he knew the kid was the main protag of the story.
??? That’s not why he helped them. He made that decision before he knew he was the main character. He wants to live a life free of regrets, so he decided to help them. Also he thinks about his previous life quite a bit, so I wouldn’t say it hardly comes up. Maybe you need to reread?

You know, the fact that he reincarnated feels irrelevant to the story because the only instance where his past knowledge was used was; at the very beginning of the story and I think there one more but i can't remember
