Surprisingly good regressor story. The theme is less cliche regarding korean novels: it's high fantasy without any kind of litrpg system. It's a little thin on magic and too focused on warriors, but still quite good. Also there are large scale battles which were done well.

The MC doesn't want to save the world and just wants to chill until the apocalypse but trouble keeps coming his way. Can't say he's likeable but he's not terrible either. The girls are cardboard waifus, and just throw themselves at the MC, so don't... more>> expect meaningful relationships with his harem.

Unfortunately the translation quality takes a dive around chapter 55+, and it becomes MTL with little editing. A bad tranlastion can quickly kill a good story =/ <<less

This novel has been quite a good read so far. The main character doesn't shy away from killing while also not being some megadouche who kills for for basically no reason at all. He is strong but not overpowered, there are other people in the world that can beat his a**. The main character also isn't a reactionary protagonist, he has goals and motivations and will actively work toward them, with things not just falling into his lap. He also seemingly doesn't have a fat stack of plot armor on... more>> his back, like, he gets into dangerous situations but you can still feel tension because it doesn't break you're suspension of disbelief when he survives. To be honest this is just my impression from the first 16 chapters and it could totally change later on in story. Having said that I feel like the story is worth a read through because the author is very good, and the translation quality is great as well. I think this story is something a majority of readers will enjoy if they read through the first 5-10ish chapters. <<less

this novel is actually very enjoyable

the start is... well, lets say its not the best, but it gets better and better, at where I am right now (c53) sh*t is so hype

the MC is someone who does not give a f*ck, no seriously for him this world is DOOMED, in stories where the MC goes back in times they usually try to save the world or some shit, but here humanity lost so hard they never had a chance, and the MC know it so he only wants to... more>> enjoy whats left of his life, throwing away all his responsibilities

the MC is selfish, shameless, and to be honest morally questionable but he is very competent, you can really feel that he is someone who went through hell and it made him a little crazy

the translation quality is surprisingly good unlike other unpopular novels that are basicaly glorified MTL

overall its quite entertaining

EDIT: after chapter 60 the translation stoped for more than a month but thats not the problem at all, the problem is that after it resumed the the traslation quality droped to pretty much MTL level, really take the joy from reading, feels fuking badman, it was such a nice novel too..... <<less

I actually didn't expect to like it, but I really do.

Pro

  • MC personality is interesting, very carefree, so it's fun to follow him wreaking havoc everywhere.
  • The way characters are introduced is interesting too
Con

  • I didn't like the first relation happening this quick, but it seems to be one of a kind, and didn't really happen again.

Update: Completed reading it a few months back. Can't recommend it enough. Prolly the most comedic take on harem genre so far. While the writing can appear to be dry at times, there has never been another story about a responsibility-dodging, manic, scheming playboy that brings me such joy to read and kept on reading like Jang. You will be giggling like a child with a present they wished for every chapter (especially more so once Jang love life starts getting more messy). Too bad the translation seemed to have... more>> halted, but otherwise do give the mtl version a try, it's honestly quite readable, much more than the usual mtls.

Has some really amazing passages (chapter 4's ending for example), really well paced and well written. Characters are really lively and memorable. <<less

Well... the story itself isn't bad, but the MC is really insufferable, especially in the latter half of the novel. He doesn't understand at all how relationships work and is incorrigibly self-centered, using "for the sake of humanity" as a catch-all excuse to do what he wants and avoid criticism.

On top of that, he goes to any and all lengths to avoid getting married to his lovers so he can maintain his bachelor status and play around. He never pays attention to his children (even going so far as to... more>> forget their names at times), and he also acts like a complete cold-blooded tyrant who's willing to kill people for minor offenses for the sake of maintaining stability. Even if he has logical reasons for his actions, I find it impossible to sympathise with them or find the MC likeable.

On a plus side, I find the power system quite novel compared to most other series. It focuses more on enlightenment of the mind and soul than just mindlessly accumulating energy, as highlighted by the stage names: "Mind Master" and "Soul Master". The kingdom building aspects also aren't bad.

Overall, it's a good enough novel to pass time with but not one I would actively recommend reading. <<less

The MC's personality sucks. I really tried my best to set aside the sh**ty MC and just enjoy the story but I really can't stomach it anymore.I'm a thorough believer that MCs must be 'gray' meaning not too good not too bad personality-wise. This f*** face though is all the way black.

I would've been ok if the target of his douchebaggery were his enemies but no, even civilians who were innocent were implicated (chapter 1-5)

Incoherent mishmash of personality, MC is dumb but thinks he is smart,

Instead of avoiding a small fuss he blew it to the extent of offending multiple honorary figures and then asks himself why they were all against him, self righteous in a bad way

Well, the plot is not bad. Tbh, I enjoyed it. At first I was hesitant because its harem, most of the harem was ruined because instead of focusing on on goal, MC's attention is in those womans instead. There is also annoying woman in harem so yeah know. The MC is a bit playboy rather he is lol, he make excuses like "Its supposed to be only body massage." or "Nobody knows how I sacrifice for humanity." Lmao. He is also an ashwhole (its filtered) he didn't give sheep (another filtered) he is also scheming and clever. His persona is entertaining and that makes some maybe many scenes hilarious. The one thing op about him is his swordmanship and Yojo, his sword. Let's add his true identity ;3 The... more>> romance start so soon, I think its in chapter around 7? Cant remember.
Spoiler

he had 11 wife in the end

[collapse]
Even so, it mainly focused on his goal. I understand that he should just lay low since his goal is to live well and don't go to frontline when the destruction arrive, but if he didn't do anything and strengthen then it would be impossible for him to live well since he will eventually die lol. <<less

sure it's pretty good,

but I don't know about koreans and their obsession about work, because in every type of this story MC always said he won't ever work and will just live lazily and lavishly but somehow in every chapter they're always running around and doing something.

... more>>
Spoiler

if he really want to live a quiet live he can just imitate orc Zenbe, open food stall or something and not touching anything about kingdom/empire etc, and did he drop his brain when he met Valkyrie Darkness?why did he decide to invite her?

so much contradictions, but the story itself is pretty good. <<less

It was actually much better than expected, I guess it is nice to not have expectation and pleasantly surprised by a decent novel

First of all, the MC is a f*cking as*hole but someone with principle and actually really competent. Very selfish and merciless but also pragmatic. He is very clever and experienced and is shown through his action not by words alone (be it his or random 3rd person or even the author. I always hate story that always tell but never show, this is clearly not one of them)... more>>

Unfortunately after chapter 63 the translation quality drop, basically an MTL. Despite being one of the better KR novel out there the speed and quality of latest translation is nonexistent so be ready to be disappointed, but even then it was a nice read and highly recommended as long as you don't have too much expectation

I really hope some team pick it up, sad <<less

Really good story. Ruthless and calculative MC. War is really well written and enemies arent evil for the sake of being evil. Lots of potential.

The only downside is that translation quality degraded starting from atleast chapter 64. It feels like mtl with some edits to make it readable but its hard to read. Names had changed and I can no longer know who is being talked about. This comes as a big downside especially in that part.... more>>
Spoiler

MC is currently in the middle of war so lots of names are being uttered yet now it is hard to know who is being talked about. Some of them are referred to as their korean names. It becomes annoying since I have to spend some time to understand who they are

The setting has a lot of potential but unfortunately, the current translations are simply abysmal to put it kindly.

Generally, I avoid commenting on translations and writing a review before completion but when it takes away from the work to such an extent that it becomes unreadable, the translation quality cannot be helped but be judged as a factor when considering recommending this novel.

Story:3/5

Characters:2/5

Setting:4/5

If I could revise my current overall rating (enjoyment), it would stand at 2/5.

I like the MC character. He very straight forward and did what he wants. It's funny to read how he blowed things up and didn't give sh*t to it.

Spoiler

But somehow I don't like his family. And even though he is a grand prince, the story of Grand Duke's household is minor.

The 1st 150 chps were really good 4*. Then around c270 the writing turned really weird focusing on a certain thing way too much compared to the balance in the story early on. By this point I skipped to interesting chp titles and read the last 6 chps not really losing any important information I might have missed.

Happy ending but can't tell if I just got bored or disappointed that made me skip chps. Everything was bland and basic at this point characters, story, fighting, kingdom building, etc.
