exactly lmfaoooo even though when i wanted to start this, i saw someone say he was a capitalist that isn't kind, which is true that he's a capitalist to an extent, but somewhere in him is a normal, kind person. it's just you can tell his greed is a natural response from his original self who worked selflessly trying to pay of debt from his past life. he does genuinely help others and we see him cry for others.
reminds me of how many people see senku as some stoic guy, but he does actions that benefit himself AND protect others in the process

i realized this reminded me of dr stone and specifically senku lol, this is like senku if his main focus was civil engineering instead of science broadly. they both bring new inventions that both benefit themselves AND benefits others along the way.
