Who it's for, and whether it holds up.
The title is a lot to absorb, and the first few chapters aren't much better, throwing misunderstandings and new characters at you faster than you can care about any of them. Stick with it through chapter four, though, and something clicks.
What separates this from the usual harem pile is the protagonist's ability to reset his memories and emotions toward people who've hurt him. It's framed not as a superpower but as a coping mechanism, which gives it actual weight. Watching the childhood friend, who originally treated him as a convenience, grapple with the consequences of his reset and work to genuinely earn back his affection is the most interesting thing in the book. The female leads have real motivations rather than just occupying slots in a love triangle, and the story earns its romantic tension through personality rather than ecchi shortcuts.
That said, some plot turns feel engineered purely to drag things out. The truck incident and the memory reset that follows it land as exactly the kind of manufactured complication the story was doing well without. The MC also starts feeling unrealistically capable in later arcs in ways the writing doesn't quite justify.
At 3.7 this is a decent-not-essential entry in the genre. If you've grown tired of passive, emotionally available harem leads and want someone who actually protects his own peace, it's worth a look. Just go in knowing the pacing stumbles before it rights itself.
