Can't help but wonder how Twilight would compare her studentship under Celestia to Alexei's own journey.
Sure, he is amoral and selfish. But it's difficult not being impressed by his drive and resourcefulness despite the lack of talent.

It is similar to those "isekai" dark themed comics where the character has to throw away his previous morale values in order to acclimate himself to the new environment.
Steal, rape, kill, are but one of those taboo actions that our MC could perform in the future.
The manga: "Re: Monster" is but an example.

It's a bit early to call him that. Ruthless does not equate to amoral.
Nor does the lack of touchy-feely or wishy-washy.
Even the contrast is not that great since the character is surrounded by a pretty cold world. He's not even in Horseland yet.
But, when I imagine a soulless character, my mind goes to Supernatural christiany mysticism.

So I'd guess it will end up being some 'soul-search' to obtain said touchy-feely wishy-washy.
So amoral just might be what the guy is portrayed as.
Pretty sad really, clear-headed and logical is 90% of the character's allure.

Alexei is souless because Earth lacks mana, meaning the rest of humanity is "empty" as well. Nothing indicates his personality being affected by lacking a soul.

Unless I'm mistaken, it wasn't outright stated that the whole species is soulless, (whatever 'soul' even means in an alien world) but it's beside the point.
The character being coldhearted and calculating is the usual description of soulless.
And it being mentioned over and over makes it a part of the character's arc. Which means future shifts in personality.

No magic, no soul.

Ok, so the naming is confusing. It's not a 'soul' but magical affinity.
In which case, the character's personality remains the same.
The whole 'soulless' thing is way too much of a trope, though.
So I think I'll have my doubts.

>Ok, so the naming is confusing. It's not a 'soul' but magical affinity.
Huh? Magical affinity is
a) All matter in the world includes magical energy, as do all beings born here.
b) The area of magic to which the affinity will depend on the race.
And as Saada said - experiments on chimerization and receiving other creatures magic are not uncommon.
The soul, as written, generates and stores mental energy.
I'll put it simply: you can think of the soul as a special ethereal organ connected to the brain, inherent to this world.
It is rather a matter of physiology.
ALRIGHT! Time for my input! Personally, I find this story very well done. Obviously translating to English will leave things a bit rough around the edges, but that doesn't matter in the grand scheme of things. The main character seems 2D but in a good way. His goals are straightforward, (for what little we know about them) and he is driven. There is a lot of mystery involving the MC, and I for one cannot wait to find out how he evolves from here. While I know the story is already written, I do wish he would show a bit more emotion and conniving. He just kinda looks at the problem and shrugs, or at least that's how it feels. It doesn't take too much away from the story, but I do hope we get to see more on who exactly this person is and what his morals are.
That's my little spiel, and I cannot wait for more!

Thanks for the feedback!
>I wish he would show more emotion and acquiescence.
I think the next chapter will finally set things straight.
Although, I thought I'd already shown enough of his thoughts for you to realize who he is.
>He just kinda looks at the problem and shrugs, or at least that's how it feels.
Well.
He jumped into the portal thinking he'd probably die.
He lived for days waiting to die from bacteria and viruses.
He longs for eternal life because it's the only thing that gives his life meaning. And he is willing to die in pursuit of it.
How much do you think he cares about petty problems?
Great story, itd be interesting if he made a magical artifact with nightmare moons essence or after she gets purged from Luna he swipes up her so he can gain the knowledge and help from the "evil" spirit nightmare moon.
He really brought up a good point to Tamu, everything is a matter of perspective.
It is true, that those who commit hard deeds don't think of themselves as evil. But good and evil definitely exist. Those who pretend otherwise are fools. The real trick, as always, is in the context.
A man stabs an old woman for her purse. He is a killer.
A father hears a noise in his young daughters room and sees a man trying to have his way with her. The father beats the intruder's head in with a bat. He is a killer.
However, one killer has killed for good while the other has killed for evil.
Bro...
