The protagonist in 'Restart' is Chase Ambrose, and what makes him stand out is his bizarre amnesia arc. After falling off a roof, he wakes up with no memory of his past life, including the fact he used to be the school's biggest bully. Watching him navigate this clean slate is fascinating—he's essentially a good person trapped in a bad reputation. His journey is about rebuilding relationships he doesn't remember breaking, like his strained ties with former victims turned wary allies. The contrast between his kind present self and the monstrous deeds people accuse him of creates constant tension. What really hooked me was how his rediscovered talents (like football skills) remain, but without the ego that originally corrupted them. It's a rare take on redemption where the character isn't consciously atoning—he's literally becoming someone new while others judge him for who he was.
