Lives are a currency, and Noah Vines is rich.

Reincarnated into the body of a poisoned magic school professor, Noah is given more than just a second chance at life. Every time he dies, his body reforms. With infinite variations of runic magic to discover and with death as a painful soul wound rather than a final end, Noah finally has a chance to wander the lands of the living once again.

And this time, he plans to get strong enough to make sure that he never has to wait around in the afterlife again.

    Beware, google translate below.

    A small review of 80 read chapters. For 80 chapters, we were shown and slightly revealed the motives of the characters, the world is not revealed, there are some conspiracies, mc who is not friendly with his head, given his excessive goodwill, impatience and obsession with his students (yes, there is a reason for this). But this is only the beginning of the story. I would suggest bookmarking this story and coming back when it's 300 or 400 chapters.

    I like it so far, I will write a new review when the story moves further and it can be properly assessed.

    Story is good, but it gets very frustrting with illogical plot point. MC is hellbend on adopting his student and teaching them everything instead of integrading himself to the new world and learning the most basic things. After 80 chapters he still dont know about his family or anyone above teacher level who have real power in the world. There is noway a world or civilization could function if even the most basic information/knowleldge is inaccessible. 99% things could be solve he mc communicate properly instead of being vague and harming his own chances.

    It a very one dimentional story which only stand if you view it from the pov provided to you, if you think outside the story everything just came crumbling down. In short, read if you can turn off your brain and get the logic spoon feeded to you.


    I agree with this statement if the Mc spends more time on learning basic knowledge about his environment like his Family history, the proper curriculum, just by asking questions and going to the library since nobody can really kill him he and also ask Moxie who is more knowledgeable
    . Instead he keeps everything vague in answers (I think to give the author more leeway on the plot) and goes around in Adventures and killing monsters dying and reviving while also insisting on teaching his students. Just join the military he would be better, the teaching feels forced.

    Writing Quality 5/5
    World background 3/5 (it’s not properly explained you learn the word background has you go)
    Characters design 3/5
    Story plot 2/5

      I would think it's that he is impatient, he still has his memories of the waiting for what felt like an eternity, and when he dies part of his soul get's damaged, and he can't think straight.
      He gets to know the power dynamics in the end, and yes, it was in purpose, and what we see as basic knowledge isn't accessible. Just by looking at the people that he interacted with.
      The seamstress was nervous and scared, the villagers in chapter 80 something were also scared of the MC and others, it was on purpose. To keep the nobles in power, just like in real life in the Middle Ages and before.
      Books are scarce and the only way a peasant is going to learn anything is if the nobles let them, by accident or from parent to child.

    The pacing is a little slow but it's fine. The characters seem well developed and this story has a different power system than what I have read so far. The characters don't feel 1 dimensional to me.

    I expected the story to concentrate on teaching students since the summary said he is a professor. And that's fine.

    The only problem I can find is the slow world building. Everything is through MC's perspective. And I understand that a man just can't gain a lot of world's knowledge in a few months but it's still a little frustrating. I hope that is rectified soon.

    Edit: At around chapter 80, it starts getting boring for me.

    From what I understand(untill chapter 44), Runes are like skills. They grow stronger with experience (killing monsters) and they have a cooldown each of them have their own energy capacity.

    This capacity gets recharged over time.

    You only need the capability of using runes, that is, you have drawn it in your consciousness and you can handle it's power. And they don't consume some unified energy like mana.

    You can combine various runes to advance the rank as long as the combination works. You can have only 7 runes per rank.

    You can add or remove runes as you require since their quality matters.

    People generally have multiple variations(?) of the same rune so that they can use the other variations of the same rune if one of the variations run out of energy.
