    Unfortunately I was right, guess he deserved what he’s about to be served.

    This civilization seems way more advanced in the soul then ours and has most likely run in to many such cases of body snatching in it’s earlier days and is now able to detect it with certainty. Remember that all the previous cases would most definitely not be from nice tempered cancer patients,(many bad people in history are put to death that didn’t want to die.) so I deem there action justifiable and above all understandable.

    So let’s hold off on them being called backwards or savage.

    Nvm this is worse. Imagine hoping for a child but it turns out a complete random dude became your baby. I'd be horrified too, much less depressed my baby is gone. The mc was clueless that he'd end up replacing a life but I still understand that there are consequences.

    I don't mind the fact that they treat him like this. It is unfair and all but this can be expected from backwards civilization will be around middle ages.

    What pisses me off is the MC. I was looking to see a good guy in the story since it is a while since I read such story but not in these circumstances.

    Mc is a victim. He did not chose to reicarnate( he wanted to live but in the original world/ whether it had some effect on this is to debate about) or kill the kid. In fact, he doesn't even know what and how it happened. Yet he all takes it like it was his fault and he now owe the debt of life. Fu#k that. It is not his fault and it is not something he should be quilty about.

    Drunk driving is self-inflicted. This is completely beyond control.

    I would be so f#cking evil if they tried this shit on me. Truly, this is how villains are made eyetwit

    So far, the story is interesting but I hope Mc won't take all the bullshit as if he really murdered the kid.

      If you were a parent expecting a child. What would you feel if some random, foreign dude, replaced your baby? Would you, as you claim, reason that the invader is not at fault and forgive him? Would you tell your wife, that had carried the baby for months, that the invader is not at fault and thus he should not feel guilt?

      The statement you made baffles me. You also point out that it's a backwards civilization. Should they not feel pain and sadness just because they're backwards? They're poor? Should this also reflect on your views towards third world nations? "Oh man this dude just infiltrated our world and killed a child. Kinda sucks that he was imprisoned and recruited for the army. He definitely won't do anything untowards our world with all these powers and stuff".

      I don't know if you're looking for something kind or something that fits your twisted idea of something "kind".

      I would like to figure out your thought process for this.

    It seems as though this world particularly hates reincarnators like Michael. I find that strange.

    Honestly f#ck those guys. Couldn't the diviner tell intent?

    "You died, reincarnated, killed a infant, so were gonna strip you of 15 years of life, a family, and make you murder more. We're the good guys for not hurting you".

      If you were parents and you got to know that your son's soul was killed by some dude that is not even from this planet, wouldn't you get mad too?
      This is unreasonable but when someone loses somebody they get unreasonable. And unlike other people of this world at least they are letting him out with some service, 10 year is not a lot considering he will still be 26-27 when he gets out.

        Yeah that’s true, I guess since it was first person perspective I put myself in his role. I’d be so mad.

    I really don’t like the reasoning for this treatment. I understand that it looks fair at a glance, but this is the equivalent of somebody falling from a plane onto a child. Neither party asked for this and to deem it a manslaughter implies that the possessor intended to carry out the act of possession, which is 100% not what happened.

      i also think the analogy to a drunk driver is fallacious

      He gave pretty good analogy of drunk driving, neither party asked for it but it happened and now one must serve.
      Most likely there was a Isekaied person in the past who done something really terrible that everyone hates them.

        Even in the case of drunk driving, there's culpability on the part of the drunk driver. In driving under the influence, he "asked for it", in your words. In the case of possession, the equivalent to "driving" is... well... the "act" of dying, and while a heavily intoxicated person might choose to drive, nobody chooses to die unless they commit suicide. Michael did not commit suicide.

        In terms of culpability, it's the equivalent of either a guy crash landing a plane into the side of a house, accidentally killing a child, or a guy lethally tripping and falling onto a child. It turns the matter of "lifetakers" less into a moral dilemma and more a choice where public opinion can be swayed to whichever way is convenient via presentation.

          Let's also take a look at homicide laws.

          US Law:
          To quote the FBI:
          Deaths of persons due to their own negligence, accidental deaths not resulting from gross negligence, and traffic fatalities are not included in the category manslaughter by negligence.


          Michael's "killing" of a child, if he actually did kill a soul, is an accidental death not resulting from gross negligence.
          To quote Justia:
          The defendant is not guilty of (murder/ [or] manslaughter) if:
          1. The defendant killed someone by accident and misfortune or while doing a lawful act in a lawful way;
          2. The defendant was acting with usual and ordinary caution; AND
          3. The defendant was acting without the necessary mental state for(murder/ [or] manslaughter).
          A person acts with usual and ordinary caution if he or she acts in a way that a reasonably careful person would act in the same or similar situation. The People have the burden of proving beyond a reasonable doubt that the killing was not excused. If the People have not met this burden, you must find the defendant not guilty of (murder/ [or] manslaughter).


          Michael killed the child by accident and misfortune while performing the lawful act of f#cking dying of cancer in a hospital bed. He was acting with whatever the usual and ordinary caution was for somebody crossing over to the afterlife. He was not feeling malice or murderous intent towards the child's soul.

          Therefore, even if his actions resulted in the child's death, Michael committed no crime in the USA.

            EU (France):

            From the Le Tutour Avocats Site:

            The French Criminal Code defines manslaughter as causing the death of another person through carelessness, negligence, inattention, or failure to exercise due care or safety (Article 221-6 of the Criminal Code). This is an offence that may result in criminal penalties, but also gives rise to rights to compensation for victims and their relatives.


            Michael, in dying and trying to move on to the afterlife, was not carless, negligent, or inattentive. He exercised whatever due care is necessary in the process of dying. Again, he's absolved of manslaughter.
            Even if there's another lower crime that he is guilty of in this jurisdiction, that warrants a lesser punishment than 5-20 years in prison, which is already better than spending ten years in a penal battalion that's almost certainly used like Russian ones in Ukraine. Instead, Michael is "specially" being "spared" from execution as an act of "kindness".

          where public opinion can be swayed to whichever way is convenient via presentation.
          That’s usually how it works though. Transmigrators are perfect scapegoat to distract from other problems. Plus the phrase “You have been found” implies that even if they didn’t find you during birth it can happen later. You don’t like someone or some native king or noble did some heinous shit, say he was taken by transmigrator.

      True but then again, you are in a different world ruled by a different power unlike that of earth. You are subjected to their rules and their authority. Unfair? Maybe for you, a foreigner/isekai. But for them? Their culture and their laws, they see you as an alien.

      The dude did have a point that he was given grace. It's kinda weird if you think about it why the heck would you harbor an alien lifeform.

      Also, any form of law against taking another's life by inhabiting their body from birth may not actually have been invented yet. You can splice the laws but it's not that simple and it definitely won't connect with the mcs situation. You're gonna have to invent a new law dawg.

      Many bad people are put to death that didn’t want to die, how many of them have done the same thing and was able to travel to this world by taking a life. (Even if they didn’t know what it was they were doing in that space.) So don’t judge them to harshly just yet.

    Interesting. A world where the MC that’s decades old is not made to be drinking milk from another woman’s breast and coddled like a child.

    The unconventionality of it reminds me of Bog Standard Isekai, another book that doesn’t follow the usual trope of other books of its kind
