This is like the lovechild of Omniscient Reader's Viewpoint, Trash of the Count's Family, and Solo Leveling. The story follows a guy who wakes up as the villain in a story he was reading. He decides to use his money and influence to survive his predestined death and live a peaceful life.

Story: 8/10
The premise isn't wholly original but still interesting. It combines elements from popular series in a way that feels fresh. There's a clear goal for the MC to work towards. My only gripe is some plot holes around how he remembers the story.

Art: 8/10
The art and character designs are nicely done. The style ... fits the action and fantasy themes well. Some backgrounds could be more detailed.

Characters: 7/10
The MC is smart and likable. The father and villain characters act very archetypically so far. I hope side characters get fleshed out more.

Enjoyment: 8/10
Overall an entertaining read for fans of power fantasy and reincarnation plots. It avoids some overused tropes. I'm intrigued to see how the MC changes the plot going forward.

Recommended if you enjoyed the premise of any of the series mentioned. Has potential to distinguish itself from its inspirations if characters develop. I look forward to following this - worth a try for the genre.
