    I highly recommend this book. The male protagonist is reborn without any special abilities; he supports his family on his own. It's about everyday life, with everyone in the family having jobs and not having to go to the countryside. The protagonist has good logic and isn't a saint. [Sending hearts][Sending hearts]
