Description
The Worst Troublemaker in History, a Mad Dog. Or, perhaps, a cursed soul. The notorious rascal of the North, Kalec Wintervald, is back! But with no recollection of the past five years when he mysteriously disappeared. “I’ve told you several times that I don’t remember anything about the time I was missing. Now get lost.” So no one, not even himself, dared to imagine… “Oh my, my daughter is so pretty, so admirable. Daddy is just a fool who only knows his daughter~” That during the five years he was missing, he had been raising a child—not even his own—as if he were a simple villager in a remote mountain valley! And in a ridiculously doting, if not overly sentimental, manner! “Daddy! I’m back!” “Who are you?” The Duke, Kalec Wintervald, looked down at me threateningly as I tightly hugged his leg. The sight made my heart ache. ‘Daddy really has forgotten about me…’ But there was no time to feel sad about it for long. I, Lirin Wintervald, at the age of 8! It’s time to carry out my plan to prevent the sad future I saw in my dream for Daddy! “I’ll use my ability to talk to plants to solve the duchy’s sacred beast problem, and save the former Duke from a terrible accident!” “Grandma, thank you for bringing me to the mansion.” “Grandpa, will you keep playing with me from now on?” Saving the duchy is a busy task! But the most important thing is to restore Daddy’s memories. However, this journey is far from easy. “It’s no use. There’s nothing anywhere that can bring back Daddy’s memories…” Tears welled up in fear that Daddy might never believe me. At that moment, the always cold Daddy gently cupped my cheeks and lifted them as he spoke. “Why wouldn’t there be? Then why did you come to me?” Can Lirin truly restore her villainous father’s memories and reach a happy ending?

I’m Searching for the Villainous Dad’s Memories! Review & Spoilers - Novel Translator
My Thoughts on I’m Searching for the Villainous Dad’s Memories!
"I’m Searching for the Villainous Dad’s Memories!" immediately caught my attention with its intriguing title and promising premise. As someone who enjoys a good childcare fantasy, I dove in with high hopes, and for the most part, I wasn't disappointed. This novel delivers heartwarming family dynamics and a healthy dose of fantasy elements that kept me hooked.
First Impressions
The initial chapters are a delightful introduction to Lirin and her amnesiac father, Duke Kalek. Their interactions are incredibly sweet and often humorous, painting a picture of a blossoming father-daughter bond that's hard not to love. The European-inspired setting adds a touch of elegance and charm to the overall atmosphere, making it an easy read to get lost in. I was immediately invested in seeing Kalek regain his memories and understand the circumstances that led him to where he is.
What Works Well
The heart of this story lies in the relationship between Lirin and Kalek. The author does an excellent job of portraying their connection, making their interactions feel genuine and emotionally resonant. Kalek's transformation from a cold, stoic figure to a loving and devoted father is particularly well-executed. The novel also cleverly incorporates the isekai element, revealing it gradually rather than front-loading it, which I found refreshing.
Areas of Concern
While I thoroughly enjoyed the first portion of the novel, I can understand why some readers might find the later developments less appealing. The time skip and subsequent plot points, where Lirin distances herself from her family, may not resonate with everyone, especially those who are primarily invested in the father-daughter dynamic. I personally felt that this part of the story dragged on a bit longer than necessary.
