Here is a short summary of the first few chapters…
Our MC is a world-class swordsman from the real world who has a number of mental illnesses (depression, anxiety, etc.) stemming from the emotional and physical abuse of his father who pushes him to become the best. This continues until he is beaten in a competition, and following admonishment from his father, he realizes that his father doesn’t really love him, and subsequently commits suicide. He is then shuttled into a book that he has read in the past by a Goddess who has taken pity on him and wants to reincarnate him as the Hero of said book. Things go awry and he ends up reincarnating as the young Duke, Raiden (Leiden?), who seems to be your typical arrogant young master but is secretly a depressed sad boy like the MC.
The story covers the MC’s attempt to search for happiness in this new world, and an attempt to more or less improve Raiden’s terrible reputation. It’s kind of shit not going to lie. The world isn’t really built up all that well, we don’t get all that great a sense of the power scale, and the characters a pretty bland. The completed tag is also kind of false. The novel isn’t really over, from chapter 105 it seems like the author is taking a break or something due to schooling (the MTL isn’t really clear), and so the novel just sort of ends on a bit of an odd place, where the MC is in sort of a limbo position, (a bit more spoilers up ahead) having just gotten over a mental breakdown and attempted suicide (I’m not really sure how he managed to get past both those things within such a short amount of time, he is still somewhat depressed by the end of it but it’s like one or two orders higher than his default depressed state. Impressive considering how during his breakdown he managed to completely override his SSS-rank skill which makes him immune to mental abnormalities.).
