The Murim arc is one of the best arcs I have ever read, everything after that just pales in comparison.

So for me, I highly recommend reading till the end of the Murim arc (ch 87) as a good stopping point, then if you have nothing else to do you can read the rest.

The romance is beyond weak. The weakest romance I have almost ever read, like the author wanted to use it to change the plot but didn’t actually want to invest in things like, I don’t know, character development?

This story truly fits in so many genres! After reading the intro, I expected this story to make me laugh. And it did. What I didn’t expect was how often it made me cry as well. This story is a gem in the genre of “Clear the Dungeon/Tower”. Where most stories would show you the protagonist’s accomplishments, this story connects you with the accomplishments themselves. It’s a joy to find a story that makes those connections while still being true to itself!

This is a must read, hands down

Went from the manwha to the novel and have enjoyed every step of the way. Now I’m not one to write reviews but this story defiantly deserves it as I can proudly say it is one of Top 10 novels I have found using this site.

The highlight of this story are truly the characters. You can feel for all of them ... more>>

save for one ponytailed bastard

[collapse]
especially the main character’s growth in just the first 10 chapters is astonishing.

Spoiler

I don’t know about you but I’d have a pretty difficult time killing myself 5 times let alone over 4000

[collapse]

Every character has their own story about how they came to Tower or otherwise and it’s hella interesting to see how one character can affect another in theory run.

Basically read the novel. <<less

This protagonist is naive s*upid and immature he's a child in a mans body. Also the MC is a complete psychopath from chapter 1 he saw the emperor kill a girl because she set him up to die and he gets killed because he saw the mu*der happen and since he can literally reset time every 24 hours due to an ability he stole he gets off Scott free but instead of using this new ability to change his life he stabs himself 4000+ times to go back in time... more>> to kill the flame emperor because he's a bastard. Do not come into this novel expecting a relatable or likable protagonist he's a man child with serious mental issues. The flame emperor killed a woman who literally killed him 24 hours in the future and he kills her in return. The protagonist after killing the flame emperor in the past throws a fit and says "how dare you hurt all these people" he killed one person and it's not like he did it for no reason. Although 'my not saying that there weren't a couple of people he took advantage of to reach the top guy probably had a couple of deaths under his belt still not a reason for the MC to Stan himself 4000+ times though. I rate this story a 2/5 but the protagonist is that unlikable <<less

Gah. THIS NOVEL IS SO WELL WRITTEN.
To those who did not read beyond 50 plus. You are sorely mistaken!
Spoiler

I also thought he was petty but then I realized why the FE needed to be killed. He's worse than the heretic, he just kills. A scumbag. His existence would threaten the MC. He would never let the MC live. There is no loop hole with how he acquired the skill. It was probably the doing of the tower owner.

[collapse]
I have no words. It's even comparable to Solo Levelling and Praise the Orc based on writing. Ofcourse these novels are unique but they share a common trait, of effective and affective writing. The author is able to convey several emotions with the dialogues. Dont be fooled by the generic title and tower concept. Because this tower is very unique, including the MC and concepts. The MC is very human, shrewd, sometimes vengeful, and prideful but very kind. His personality is very balanced. The side characters are gold. They have a very detailed personality and are not just brutes. This tower does not only represent a power struggles, but is also an economical and political eden for the outside world. It is not just a dungeon type.

In a sense the MC is OP. But his OPness is brought from struggles haha. Sometimes I pity him. I like his power but it's hard to keep sane. He is a top class insane haha Also this explains his mindset, "the worse they can do is kill me". So he is unafraid. He is used to dying by his own hand which is so beautifully explained in the upper floors past 20th. The constellations are different from the ORPOV, they are not streaming for entertainment. The dynamics between the constellations and the MC is different. Including the MC and the guilds. I've read tons of novels and they have this running theme of guilds and authority figures are evil trope. It's getting tiring. So this is a fresh air! The tower floors are like a portal to another world.

Also the romance
Spoiler

he falls in love with an outsider. Very unexpected! I did not like her at first but as the author writes, you start to warm up at her. Hahah she just seemed sus to me. But oh my! It's the first time, I've seen a romance so stable and not a harem lol

It's good. Not too good, but it was a positive experience overall. No it's not as juvenile as Arifureta, but there was certainly times that I wanted to roll my eyes and it's not out of an endearing moment. In my opinion, it really does pick up after we reach the 21-30 floors, specifically ... more>>
Spoiler

at the 25th floor.

[collapse]

There were a few instances where clearly the amount of time he'd spent on a spot would instantly double because he had died and the author had decided to skip what he needed to pass to get to that point once again before dying. The issue I find here would be that in these instances, he feels exactly like he used to prior to dying with no change or even palpable impatience, the change does not feel like it comes bit by bit, but is cheaply implied by adding the [You have died.] line before directly moving onto the next sentence. Every [You have died.] means 23 hours and 59 minutes of maddening repetition. Take Homura from PMMM for example:
Spoiler

Her concept as a character is very much similar to the MC in this story, where she fails repeatedly in an infinite loop in a desperate, stubborn and insane attempt to save just one person's life.

[collapse]

It's about the unseen sacrifices that these characters make that nobody will know about that is a very big charm to these stories. But the issue is the continuity that only these very specific characters experience. For example: a player that has died to the same boss for the 1st time will most likely feel only slightly miffed, but a player that has died to the same boss for the 23rd time will have a more clear frustration especially towards the unskippable cutscene between their last save point and the boss that keeps destroying them. However, to that world's perspective, this is your first and only attempt at it despite the truth that it is in fact your 24th. In Homura's case, she's very clearly impatient from hearing the exact same words, spoken in the exact same tone, followed by the exact same actions to the point that she was effectively mashing the A button so she could just get to the goddamn boss already.

In a few cases of this with the author, they seem to just skip parts of the grind (obviously for reader comfort) but the execution kind of cheapens the experience, in my opinion. <<less

Background wise it's a generic start but the plot that continues is not short of being legendary. The story is nicely paced, with fleshed out side characters (although they mostly only last at specific arc points but this is already better than so many novels out there).

Everything is great. He isn't too smart, too naive or too dumb either. A mix of everything sprinkle with a dash of character development. For new readers I recommend reading what's translated in the mangas before coming here to get more attached to the... more>> characters.

Although some hate the fact that the new arc makes him hopelessly in love with a random lady in less than 10 days, I have to say that you thought of him too much. The MC isn't stable. If you died 4000+ times you wouldn't be stable either. He meets another regressor whose fate isn't great. He can't understand her but he sees that whatever it is she's doing and it's beautiful.

Take it with a grain of salt. This might not be the romance of the century but for a man who had never had his first crush, being presented with a female character that he can share some of his true thoughts can give him mental suggestions. Also the lady is so bomb I don't know what you expected? Did you want him to meet a girl who would grow stronger beside him like slow romance development? Can anyone understand the feeling of repeating everything over and over again like him? No. And that's the reason why she is so precious to him.

Female interests aside, I love the MC's character. There's enough emotion and grit to last us the whole arc. Haven't skipped any chapters because it was all good.

Wrote a review to balance the previous ones I made. Yes I need to cleanse myself and see there are good novels out there ;) <<less

Read this immediately after reading the latest chapter of the manhwa, enjoyed the parts until before he retried in flr 12 but after that is just extremely dumb. His solutions for the problems are nothing more than a speedrunner retrying until they get the best results, his use of his regression skill is so f*cking simple it hurts.

... more>>
Spoiler

In addition, his way of clearing flr 12 is such lazy writing. It is bad enough that he basically just use the brute force method for it but he also got the best results out of nowhere. He basically changed history because he cleared it so unconventionally but there never an indication that was what would happen, basically the result was a f*cking asspull and it even made further floors easier since changing history made the main boss of 11-20 much weaker. It felt more like creating a purposely despairing setting only for you go say "f*ck it, let's give it a happy ending" rather than a story that develops properly

[collapse]

Edit: I decided to keep reading anyways and what I can say is that the backstory of the floor bosses and things related to it are interesting and enjoyable. Unfortunately, I have to tolerate how dumb his methods and the occasional asspulls that happen to get to that point are.

Edit2: I think my score right now should be 4 stars for how incredible the next arc was compared to the last one. The side characters were given some focus, the setting was incredibly interesting, the emotions conveyed felt like it was said by someone who actually experienced those hardships, the solution was not straightforward where you just need to "try and try until you succeed" and there were no asspulls for the sake of the best possible ending. <<less

I won't give you in depth analysis of the story as I can't read moonrunes and as of writing there are only 5 chapters out.

I went in expecting nothing, maybe carbon copy of every single KR story ever where the MC is masochistic money obsessed scrooge.

What I found out instead was a broken MC, someone really mad. The first 5 chapters are too short to see whether this will also fall into the same KR copypaste category, but my first impression was: damn that's clever, I... more>> have questions and there is potential here. <<less

*I red the manwha before reading the novel

When I first started reading, I did not have a good opinion of this novel. I thought that the MC was tr*sh, believing that he deserve so much better and hating the world for everything when he is responsible, the type of person that got a victim complex... It was really bad, even hating the tower for giving such a tr*sh skill (I mean, if he didn't have the regress ability then yeah it's tr*sh so I can understand him) and his obsession... more>> with the flame emperor was disgusting. All he could do is envy the flame emperor, and hating the world for not giving him the same life or something.

But it got better, after he regressed to the past (I was very delighted with the amount of su*cides he has to do and the emotional part of overcoming one's fear of death) and the rest is history. It is a bit strange however how someone can change so much, from a selfish b*stard to a kind, savior complex guy who wants to understand the world and help everyone or some sh*t. Could a person change that much? I doubt it. Maybe some details were missing in the manhwa, but I find it weird how fast he switched.

The author's writing is beautiful, full of emotions and is really showing, immersing the reader in the story and really being able to make us feel. Even in the manhwa the few texts made me cry, so imagine the novel... The writing is not harsh, not cold, and does not make me feel uncomfortable at all. Some tragedy novels I red are written very coldly, and makes me feel as if the world has no hope but this author's writing was warm, in a sense, and kinda ressemble a mother's embrace (full of warmth but emotion at the same time).

The romance part seems to be really rushed. I don't understand why he asked to learn about love or some b*llsh*t and then, poof, he smooth talked the FL and they fell in love. Maybe I'm prejudiced, believing that a male protagonist could never have a good romance (I mean... It's normally a harem with a MC that doesn't deserve it at all) but it is well written after the fast start.

BUT, the author seems to have a knack for writing confusing stuff, which appears 'deep' but when you think about it it's just b*llshit. Like the backstory of the tower master, I understood nothing about what's going on and how she became what she is. Maybe because the arc isn't fully translated yet, but until now (chapter 227) the reason for why the tower master
Spoiler

sacrifuce herself is because she self blame herself for not changing bad events happening??? Like, why doesn't she change it then??? Why does she wants to take the blame and suffer??? Is it because she's a god or smth so she wants to be all benevolent and kind and sh*t so she wants to take responsibility???

[collapse]

Anyway, the reason why it's 5* is because of the writing style mostly. The plot was ok, deep but also wannabe deep and the characters have distinctive traits that doesn't confuse me on who's who. <<less

This novel is goated, the way the writing was done by the author is extremely beautiful, the emotions being portrayed in every character, every tragedy and laughter that happens in a event, every scenery and location that they go through on each floor, they are all depicted with beauty.

Character development is also great, not only the main character got it, but every side character in novel got them. Unlike what others said about the romance, it's actually not bad, yes it came out pretty unexpectedly but Raviel did helps a... more>> lot in making the MC get his character development.

Spoiler

Tower master arc suck, it will make your head spin so make sure to turn your brain off for that arc since even the translator have a hard time understanding what is happening.

Overall it's a pretty great read, would recommend. 10/10 <<less

I'm normally, a pretty logic-driven, realistic kind of person.

But I got totally swooned over the romance arc as it truly opens my eye. The romance arc completely caught me off guard.

Honestly I just want to continue reading right now so I'll just end the review here. I totally agree with endspell's review though.

Spoiler

To be fair, I don't find it wrong for the MC to be obsessed in love. Everyone has different definitions on love, and if you think yours is the best, you might have never understood your own partner, or you might have never dated before.

But men might feel insulted, thinking he turned into a woman's pet or something.

Honestly, Gongja falling in love doesn't make him weaker does it? What's the issue even? It's just some readers projecting their ego on Gongja

Absolutely agree with Shimatta's review. Many of my point is the same with Shimatta

First, there are many minor mistake and loophole even before that arc but it's bearable. And then everything change in romance arc. It's garbage. Drop the novel because of it. Their love is too forced.

... more>>
Spoiler

Why the heck MC fall in love with Raviel??? It come out of nowhere. AND THEN HE AND SHE IS CHEATING. I hate that. If Raviel is single and even the MC is force himself to love her, it's okay. But Raviel is fiancée of crown prince!

Let's says it's okay to cheating but then the story (in the incomplete book library) will be like :

.... Ravelia that gave all of her heart to crown prince suddenly fell in love with the butler. The butler too. They announced their marriage in 10 days....

What the hell? There is no romance story like that. They are not childhood friend, no hardship together, never talk to each other, barely recognize each other, they have no connection whatsoever! But they suddenly love each other?????? Garbage. And hell, it became that the villainess (Ravelia) is the one who the first to cheating, not the crown prince, because crown prince has not yet met the heroine.

[collapse]

Second, in this novel there is just main character. The side character is just a decoration to make MC shining more.

There is many more, but you can read Shimatta's review. It conveys my feeling to this novel completely.

Anyway, this novel is mediocre. It's not bad (except romance arc), but it's not that good either. <<less

Absolutely love this series. A lot of WN are pretty flat in terms of character depth and development, I’m sure we’ve all read our fare share and don’t expect much and they’re still awesome series even if they’re missing a little bit of soul.

However this series truly is well written in every sense of the words. It’s made me cry and laugh and re-read it many times, as I’m writing this I’m getting ready to re-read it again. The different genres it covers and the development of the main and... more>> side characters in this strange new world they have to live in is really wonderful to read and so different from the usual. The sadness of existence and the joy of love and the consequences of power, all covered and wonderfully described while still fulfilling that OP MC craving and cute romance. Everyone has different tastes and you really can’t judge how much you like something based on reviews so please don’t put too much weight on them as you read mine and others. But no one can deny that this will really make you feel things.
Very poetic series, absolutely love it.

however probably don’t read it after a certain point. You will know it when you get to it. I think the author went crazy or something, whole thing spirals into a mess and it takes a long time to even make sense of what is happening. But all the cool and important plot points have happened by then so really just stop reading when you get to that point you aren’t missing much.

still five stars though, if that doesn’t makes sense to you then read it and it will. <<less

You enter expecting a cliché leveling up novel, and leave with a rough but emotional story. SSS class isn't the best story, nor does it have a very good plot. But it makes up for it in its characters, so much in its characters and their interactions. The story has a unique concept on the typical modern dungeon troupe.

6.8/10

I got with low expectations for this novel and was pleasant surprise to be above average on the genre.

However it still a busted super OP skills with dubious drawbacks as they seen to not really impact much if not to chance to gain more info by the MC.

The start is not very good, and I thought in dropping it. Specially as the MC personality was so bad that I thanked god it did a 180 in a few chapters going from tr*sh to be able to play with the guild... more>> leaders.

It also suffer from things always going his ways in strange places not all related to his time powers but straight up making the tower change the rules of 10 floors. Or the fact that the 5 guild leaders or anyone else give much trouble to the MC.

Another problem is the terrible worldbuilding, I don't even know why the author use "the tower" as a setting if he going to skip most details and multiple layers. That to not talk about weird the ranking system work as it seen complete arbitary and even the benefits seen to be dubious. And then adding the idea of Aura, that also is not explored.

This story is all about a few arcs where a handful of floors are really important, and the exploration of some of the problem that floor present, but because the many time skips we often only have overall view of his progression.

The interactions with character is pretty interesting if still somewhat swallow as people seen to really go along with what he is saying and they have minimal conflict with each other beside some banter and exposition. As I said before is above average whe compared to others novels both CN, JP and KR.

The story really shine (for me) is on the Murim arc, that the author decide to focus more on the worldbuilding and few characters rather than big vague goals. The author view of Good and Evil sects (staple trope of the genre) was interesting.

Lastly the romance, it was really abrupt and I must confess that is not the type I enjoy reading about as some aspects of it didn't seat well with me. And seen to change the character personality and goals so much and in such difficult way (involve alot su*cides). However, I found it charming in their own way and if the author had spent more time buildig it up it would been better. But is not my cup of tea specially when I saw what was the conclusion.

I guess one problem is the co stant break of 4th wall, as the MC almost seen to know he is on a novel, specially with the library arc on the nose mention. <<less

I'm finally dropping the novel after completing the third arc. I enjoyed the novel thoroughly but continuing after this would only be forcing myself to read. To give you a brief overview of the novel, it begins with the MC. He starts off as a jealous dude who forces himself to regress back to 11 years in the past because of some circumstances.

The allies were fleshed out. Although you would get turned off by the sudden introduction of the allies, the writing doesn't force you to remember their names... more>> and quirks. Rather, it helps you get used to it.

But the novel had glaring problems, at least for me.

Spoiler

The first arc, AKA, the Demon King Arc was where the story was at its peak. It showcased MC's growth as a person and his qualities. It showed his justice and we also get to see a hint of cunningness. The backstories of each and every character were meaningful and actually emotional.

The Heavenly Demon arc was probably an arc you cannot dislike. It's gloomy, sad, and beautiful. There was a problem though. It tries to give a flurry of different kinds of emotions and expects you to sympathize with them. If you are a normal reader, you probably wouldn't have experienced something terribly harsh (like real terrible beyond what normal people experience). Even so, you could make it out how it feels to experience something harsh. That's being empathetic. The story tries to go beyond that.

And trying too hard only has the opposite effect. When I was reading the parts, it did not feel like - 'ah, that's rough' but rather - 'ah, it could be possible'. Still, it had some fine moments like the death of Heavenly Demon and the final verbal fight. Of course, the relationship between MC and his master is also to be mentioned. They were great.

Now, I'll address the elephant in the room. The third arc. It's terrible. Not just the romance, everything else was equally terrible. Until this point, we had actually great characters but aside from MC's lover, other characters were just not up to the mark. I liked her and MC but the way romance was dropped was something very few liked. From what I could tell, the author probably wanted the arc to just be the romance arc and that ruined it.

I would probably be the last person to call out unrealistic romance but as much as I liked their interactions, I have to admit that the author tried too hard. Everything about the arc has to be about romance. MC's character turned inconsistent. This ruined a good story, (again) at least for me. Even the final fight was lacking in substance (unlike MC vs DemonKing and SwordEmperor vs Heavenly Demon).

[collapse]

I went in thinking the story would be action-packed but I wasn't disappointed with how it turned out to be. I acknowledge that the novel is a good novel and perhaps, it gets better after the third arc. Recommended if you want to get a taste of a slightly different novel of the regressor genre. <<less
