Pretty entertaining and interesting mystery behind the events of the novel. I wouldn’t put it in my masterpiece novels list, but it’s a decently good time. The world building section drags a bit and some of the tropes are a bit typical, but there’s also enough unique bits and great action sequences to keep you hooked.

Although there are some repeated tropes of the side characters doubting the main character, that does change the deeper you get into it. Also, some of the side characters are comedy gold XD If you like world building, regression, and a crazy bastard of an MC that dominates wherever he goes (but also pushes himself to his limits), then you'll probably enjoy this story. If you don't like repeated incidences of side characters doubting the MC and being proven wrong time and time again, then you probably won't like this story as ... more>> much. <<less

Its average. Most, if not all of the plot progression is accompanied by retainers and followers expressing their doubt in MC. It gets old fast as its every chapter for a while, but when its not about terrority building, it gets a little interesting since the author does something different each time. Read if you're bored or waiting for something better.

The fact that this novel has no harem already earns it a bonus star from me. Beyond that, despite a few illogical moments and some repetitive scenarios, it’s genuinely an enjoyable read. It’s not a masterpiece, but definitely a notch above your average webnovel. The story stays mostly on track without too many pointless detours. Sure, the battle scenes and character development can drag a little, but they didn’t bother me too much. Now, the real highlight? The comedy. I legit laughed out loud multiple times—especially during Claude and Alpoi’s scenes. Those ... more>> two are comedy gold. Their banter is sharp, the timing is perfect, and the characters themselves are well-written and genuinely funny. My actual rating would be a solid 3.5, but honestly? It deserves a 4. So, I’m giving it 4 stars. <<less

This novel is really frustrating. The main character’s mother, ... more>> Spoiler who was an assassin, died without leaving a trace, and there wasn’t even a letter from her. It would have been far more interesting if the MC had regressed as a baby, allowing him to save his mother. [collapse] One part I found particularly annoying was when there were Spoiler rat-like creatures in the forest of monsters. The MC decides to kill the rat queen instead of trying to tame it. I mean, it could have been such a huge asset if they had managed to tame it with the elf’s help for communication, and Alfoy could have entertained it with tricks. It felt like a wasted opportunity. And of course, the author made the MC kill the dragon when they could’ve tried having the elf stop the dragon’s rampage instead. [collapse] I hate how the MC always solves problems by brute force, and yet with the Spoiler dragon, they chose to kill it instead of capturing it. It was mind-controlled, for crying out loud! There was a chance to use it as an ally in the fight against their enemies, but no, the author chose to make the MC kill it. And what about the elf? Why didn’t the elf help? It just makes no sense, and it feels like the author wants the MC to act s*upid and blindly fight things like dragons instead of being strategic. [collapse] Honestly, it feels like the author is running out of ideas. The repetitive way the MC handles battles is tiring, and the plot is filled with huge holes. Take the Spoiler guardian dragon that was supposed to protect the kingdom—it's known to be wise, but the author turns it into a mind-controlled enemy for revenge, with the MC stabbing its heart and the others cutting off its head. It just doesn’t make sense. [collapse] I’m so tired of reading these poorly written novels that I might just stick to something more reliable, like the Recovery Bible instead. It’s clear the author is rushing, and it shows in the lack of consistency and common sense in the plot. <<less

Overall the story is decent, it has good pacing and an interesting plot, so it ranks higher on my regressed category list. While there are some faults with plot devices being overused, once you get passed them and into the meat of the story things really begin to pick up. I have ranked this a 4/5 simply because of the potential and that once the story picked up some of the faults start to disappear. If you don’t like the use of plot armour as a reason for advancing a ... more>> point I don’t recommend. However, if that doesn’t bother you and you want something that doesn’t constantly drag out needless side story then I highly recommend. <<less

This is a fantastic story. Of all the isekai and regressor stories, this one has been such a refreshing take. There is no unrealistic romance or cliche plot traps. I love the storyline and the characters are relatable and delightful to get to know. I have laughed so many times reading this story. It is a well thought out story with many details considered. I did not expect to find a story with depth like this given how the webtoon version portrayed the characters. The successes and achievements of the protagonist ... more>> feel truly earned and he acknowledges the limits of his regressor knowledge. <<less
