Dayum, this is freaking cool although it gives the vibes of ORV the storyline is good. The MC was like a son of KDJ and YJK haha (≧▽≦) it was kinda mixed both comedy (lil' bit) and tradegy dang, I dont know how many times I cried to their trauma's (≧Д≦)

I could say that this is enjoyable to read especially when the secrets inside the tower were revealed let's add swordman (≧▽≦)

As peelpeyl said, did u even read the novel Nihiklzz or whatever your name is.

You say - And he goes back in time by killing himself 4000 times to kill the man again from which he gets the resurrection skill just because the PITIFUL role model of his was defending and protecting himself and he calls him a psychopath.

And claim that killing the innocent witness was just 'protecting himself'

The saintess was guilty of trying to kill the Flame Emperor for sure, and defo for the right reasons, but the Flame emperor had the right to defend himself and kill her.

This also means our MC has the right to kill the Flame Emperor in revenge also, even if he did so in a convoluted time loop.

And your reasons on that the emperor cannot give the MC the ability if he dies in the past may or may not be right, after all I'm pretty sure we only have theoretical knowledge of what would occur in a time loop paradox situation, so it may or may not be as you said.

However as the author has went one way, I believe that his original ability is able to bypass this time loop paradox due to magic shenanigans, so the arguement itself is pointless as the author designed this fantasy world and what he says goes.

yeah the translator definitely got assassinated to stop them from delivering HEAT!!

Current arc is the best arc by far.

Spoiler

Yes, I still enjoy it deeply, even though theres a hot steaming sh*t pile in the middle of it called "The Tower Master's Trauma"

It did feel shoved in there, but the writer proved it belonged by shifting the entire perspective of how we now view the setting as a whole.


But on the goblins, they're the best! The writer turned the most staple, boring-ass mobs in typical fantasy, into the BIGGEST GIGACHADS OF THE FANTASY GENRE!

I only wrote this review because the review by god slayer was so bafflingly incorrect that I felt like I had no choice.

A lot of people reading this novel attribute what are supposed to be interpreted as unresolved mysteries as plotholes, for example the way the main character receives his powers.

... more>>
Spoiler

He is granted the ability "I want to be like you" borne out of his envy to the tower, a power that allows him to copy a single skill after he dies. He is then killed by the one person who has a regression power. This sounds like a plothole (or at least an astronomically unlikely plot contrivance), but it's not. It's a setup. Unfortunately, it seems like the author put too much stake into the intelligence of the average webnovel reader and assumed they would pick up on that. However, and I'm not going to actually spoil the mystery, if you want to know, please read the novel!

[collapse]

Furthermore, there's an accusation of the main character being some kind of Gary Stu, which is absolutely unreasonable. It completely ignores the themes of like, the entire book. Also, back to God Slayer, he said the author "unintentionally made the protagonist a psychopath". This is patently false, since
Spoiler

it was clearly on purpose. The Sword Emperor, the only person besides the audience who experiences what Kim Gongja does, constantly calls him a crazy bastard, and his character has multiple foils such as the tower master and the constellation killer who show what kind of person Kim Gongja might have become if he hadn't met other people who improved his crazy mindset. Even the hypocrisy of Kim Gongja killing the Flame Emperor, even though it actually was written to be very reasonable to most readers, came back as a serious plot point.

[collapse]

Now, aside from addressing negative criticisms, there is loads of praise to sing about the novel.

The Characters- Absolutely the strongest thing about this novel. Every single one of the major side characters could carry their own story as an exceptionally written protagonist or antagonist. The emotional arcs of even the side characters have more depth than those of the protagonists of 90% of web novels.

The Plot- The writing is tight, the problems and their solutions are very cleverly written, and it really sells Kim Gongja's status as an intelligent, out of the box thinker. Also some of the best exploitation of regression powers I've ever seen

The World- This novel takes its time, expanding the world little by little, but to anyone paying attention it's very clear that there's a very fleshed out world beneath the surface of what we can see, and we get to explore it more and more as the story opens up

The Action- The fights are engaging, emotionally rich, and cleverly written. Powers are used in creative ways. Also, the writer fully utilizes the premise of a "Tower", showing all kinds of genres and locations and writing them with great skill and awareness.

Overall, this is probably one of if not the best web novels I've ever read, and it's definitely my favorite. On the same level as ORV, which was my favorite before I read this. It only gets better and better as it goes on. Please read this novel <<less

Even though I didn't like MC who always thinks and acts to save others needlessly, but still I kept on reading the story because I didn't find any other good novels out there and it got somewhat better. But this chapters 72-73 made me drop the novel.

Cuz the MC is left to die by the heavenly Demon. And still the MC thinks about gaining her recognition. Come on what the fck kinda mentality is this when she just let him die without saving and when she doesn't know about his... more>> powers??

This is just too much. Someone left u to die and the first thought u get is about how to complete a pointless quest given by ur killer?

Even if u say that dying is like drinking water for MC and his mindset is different, I can't continue reading this bs. <<less

To the people who dropped before the 3rd arc: please, just read until its finale. It offers a much deeper look into the MC's mentality and methods, as well as re-examine some details that are previously glossed over. In fact, the novel has a lot of such re-examinations later on of his ideals and decisions the further it goes. I know it's a lot to ask you to waste your time on what you perceive as "edgy tr*sh", but please, give it another chance. I love this story and I... more>> want you to see its good points too. <<less

If you like Omniscient Reader's Viewpoint, you will like this too.

The MC has a very similar goal with ORV MC, that both of them want to reach the end without sacrificing anyone except themself.

I will spoil some world building here to gives you the idea of this novel.

Spoiler

Humanity need to climb a Tower that suddenly appear. However, for every cleared floor, there will be casualties from human.

The goal of the MC? It's to climb the tower without sacrificing anyone except himself.

The title of this novel should've been SSS-class lucky bastard. Why?

... more>>
Spoiler

His S class skill is actually useless since he'll have to die to copy a skill from his killer. The lucky bastard however was able to copy a skill that resets to past 24 hrs whenever he dies

[collapse]

So a few chapters in and he's completely broken already like other generic garbage korean novels. That's what I thought however

Spoiler

The MC has multiple limiters. He can't infinitely get skills because there are limit in skills. It's like in the pokemon games where you need to forget a skill to learn a new one. There's also a penalty in death. It is non exist when he was still f rank but as his rank increases, the penalty also increases. OP skills doesn't mean you're OP. There are characters like sword saint who are OP with inferior skills. Their main weapon in combat is Aura and the MC sucks in that.

[collapse]

The novel has a similar concept with tower of god and SLR with the climbing the tower thingy. This novel however is unique in a way that it deviates from your regular novels where there's just mindless slaughter. The MC clears the boss battles in creative ways. The characters' personalities are decent. There's still no dumbass villains to underestimate the MC only to be curbstomped later on. Solid 5/5 atm <<less

It's a regression story but with a unique twist since it was he himself had made the effort to return to the past in order to eliminate a certain threat to his life and then, the story starts there. The premise is nearly identical to Toika's Infinite Competitive Dungeon Society except that they can exit the Dungeon/Tower.

This is one the the most interesting kind of dungeon hunter related novel I read read! The MC starts off as a complete failure yet the humor behind his slow yet steady growth is one that cannot be dismissed! A recommend read for those who seek excitement and a good laugh! The story idea is quite innovative, so 5 stars worth your time in giving it a read!

Mostly excellent, except for one thing.

Spoiler

The romance part sucks and the MC's personality has completely lost its consistency. MC insisted on saving the lives of NPCs before, why is the prince asked to execute three innocent people here? Did I miss something?

Even if this is a misunderstanding, his favorable impression of FL is also weird.

There are obviously two female characters who get along with MC in a more natural way. I don't know why MC didn't choose one of them.

This novel is just pure bullshit. Well it was released in 2018 when this stuff was new so its understandable why it has such hype. But its now just unbearable.

MC gets an op abillty like time reversal just because he is jealous. Yes you heard it right this f*cker is jealous thats why the system gives him SSS class abilties. Fck even fantasies doent go this far. Again when he kills something he can copy one of their skills or something like that bs. So obviously this bastard gets killed... more>> the OP old swordsman and gets his ability. And guess what it was a high rankers soul from another world. Yes, you read it right now the MC has cheat like system helping him + OP knowledgeable high ranker. Even then he cant solve shits by himself so every time somwthing goes wrong the f*cker kills himself. And thats not even enough, he kills himself in a way that he feels pain because he has to remember his EvErY dEaTH type bs, which obviously he doesnt even care about. Then comes his love interest whom he saves by killing himself again and again and thats also at the mercy of the administrators. At this point I was just done with this bs. <<less

I needed something to read & the description sounded cool. But I dropped it. The writing did not work for me. My experience was like this:

  1. Main-Character is insane (pathetic & hard to care about). He even kills himself repeatedly (for his skill). Suddenly he's a normal bland hero? Personality swap?
  2. Other characters are mu*derous weirdos, the story didn't care about them & neither could i. [Minor SPOILER] There's an annoying ghost who constantly follows MC.
  3. [minor SPOILER] MC's ability works due to time-travel, which sucks the fun out of every story. No suspense, no investment, just shitty plot-holes.
  4. The story follows the MC closely at the start. I lost interest ch30 as it time-skips and glosses over everything, to rush a generic tower plotline. It's just unsatisfying.

If I had to describe this story in two words, it would be "Beautiful Insanity."

Honestly this isn't the type of story I would usually like. Stories with the phycological tag usually make my head hurt trying to follow twisted logic and normally those stories are to dark for me to enjoy, however, the author executed this story absolutely perfectly. Even when it is twisted the logic can be understood and even the darker topics are written in a way that it can bring me to tears without rending my heart.

tower masters trauma arc trying to take everyone's sin and making it her own responsibility and the sins that she herself accumulated seemed contrived and unpleasant. As a Christian I could only see it as a failed attempt at someone trying to play God.

I think this novel is quite overrated, but this is the fair rating that I believe it deserves and is not a lowball to manipulate the rating down.

  • Spoiler

    The interesting part of the novel for me was seeing into the memories of people who kill him to understand the bad guys side, but unfortunately this is often used as an excuse to judge them rather than a way to develop a realistic character.
    Disgusting parts of the novel (Of course in my personal opinion)

    • Early Chapters: MC is an extreme degenerate who is jealous and spiteful. That the system itself was disgusted by him and decided to give a cheat skill. Hard to want to root for such a guy.
    • Early Chapters: MC judges the current #1 in the world is evil.
      Sure the #1 is a rude person who killed others and is less than honorable, but that does not give this loser MC the right to judge. Not like the #1 was a mass mu*derer who hated humanity, he only killed in self-defense or to further his goals. Being selfish is not equivalent to being evil so the MC exterminating him then making a shadow s*ave of him later is not cool at all.
      MC also kills himself 4000 times to exterminate this 'evil' but going through that pain still does not give the right to judge another, it just makes him a psychopath
    • Regression and going through deaths many times probably is to make readers cheer on his perseverance and get enough fervor to overlook his flawed morals and hero complex. I personally don't find perseverance and training that cool though, so it was painful to read some of these things which are 'justified'
    • Martial Arts arc: This was too long and could've been much more concise. Too much on training which is boring. At the end of the day it's just justification and does not need to be that long.
    • Romance arc: This made me stop reading because it was too disgusting. The character which will become the female lead (She is actually quite cool which I liked at first) also believes in some crazy nonsense along with MC. Stuff like you have to unconditionally give in to your lover even if it's completely unreasonable, the idea that revenge is acceptable if you have a falling out. Having to see these two psychopaths unironically agree on these things was quite simply, 2disgusting 4me.

the story is great from start to finish. Let me explain-:

Summary- the MC is killed by his idol (no.1 ranker) because he was at the wrong place at the wrong time and gets his (the no.1 ranker's) skill which leads to him going back 24 hrs before his death he realizes to have a chance at killing the guy he needs to go 11 years back when the guy didn't have the skill.

MC- the MC at first is established as a jealous man (I mean to be fair who... more>> wouldn't jealous of the no.1 ranker) and he wants to prove his capabilities to the people in power, he is very weak to appreciation (thinking anyone who gives him complements is an angel or a goddess). What I love the most about him is that he isn't indifferent-he cares for humans (sentient creatures) and is willing to die for them. He is cunning and would rather kill himself than not get what he wants. He wants the 'true end' for any situation where the characters get their just ends, for example
Spoiler

in the heavenly demon arc he made sure to give the 'characters' hope by giving them disciples and giving them the death they hoped for-dying gun blazing or in this case

in a war of good and evil

[collapse]

story- the plot is more emotional than about winning and losing as we already know the MC is going to win because of his skill. It has from fighting to adventure to love to solving emotional damage all the while being a comedy (in a good sense) and I freaking love the way they described everything in this novel. This novel has many arcs I mainly talk about the romance arc as it is the most memorable one in my experience

sword emperor- or the teacher/brother/friend/father figure (pfft-). He is one of the best side characters a story could wish for.

shiny the sword- no paragraph I just love her

FL- she is a sociopath who wanted to make the MC her minion and when that failed she started seeing him as a human but just like the many other characters (looking at u Preta) she also gets character development and later becomes a much more likable character. Personality-wise she is a self-reliant person to the extreme and has few friends-no scratch that she has no friends. She has a skill (?) that lets her go 10 days back from the end of her world. (Her world's genre is romance and high school but it has its fair share of dark stuff). I want to write more about her but I really am too tired.

Romance- 'Love is a b*tch' that was the first thing the FL taught the MC when he requested her to teach him how to love and if u want a summary of their love this is it. The romance at best can be called very fast-paced (but at least it ain't a harem) but would I say it makes the story bad? No, not at all the author somehow makes it completely in the character of the main leads, and until it is over u won't even realize that it was fast-paced, though I have some regrets, it isn't a bad love story. And I absolutely love the way they (MC and FL) fell and stayed in love and it also has plot importance, also I love their dynamic.

Side characters- As I have said before what I loved about the side characters was that in the story they mattered, they weren't treated like dirt or like objects that the MC tramped to with no mercy. Be it the witch or the swordmaster or the alchemist or the crusader all of them were certain pieces without which the story would feel empty. If I made a paragraph dedicated to every single one of them it would make this already long review about 3times longer so I won't do that. But know that all of them are a blast to read.

how to have optimal reading experience- u can have the best experience by keeping these points in your head-:

    1. this is a STORY- it would have plot holes it is not perfect.
    1. the MC is more of a positive force than a negative force despite his self-harming tendencies
    1. In this story, u can't do anything without a 'skill card'- No matter how smart u r u are like dirt in front of the rankers as they can kill u without even needing to lift their figures.
    1. this story is more of an adventure story than an economical or scientifically progress story meaning a lot of those factors will be excluded from the story.
TLDR- this is a great story that focuses more on emotions than other things. All the characters have their worries and joys which are depicted clearly in the story. <<less

I won't say that this novel is perfect. Though the novel has its pitfalls in its world building at the start, even evident in the Manhua series which basically dropped you into the world with little to no explanation for the tower, I truly enjoyed the experience from how well the writer portrays the most emotional moments in writing.

From the start, Kim Gong-ja's personality was the usual weak MC swears revenge and regresses, sure. There isn't much to say about his personality, his goal to become stronger and be acknowledged... more>> is laid bare to the readers and he follows through with it, but he never becomes arrogant in his success, since he experiences hundreds of failures to achieve the goals he wants. This also works very well in tandem with the side characters once he gains noteriety. Every side character whom the MC interacts with act like actual people with their own clear goals and personality, not to stroke the MC's ego at every turn, which makes the conversations flow quite nicely and not feel very forced at major plot points.

Now personally the murim arc was my favourite part of the novel so far, not because I like martial arts part of novels but because the arc focuses on developing and exhibiting the MC's humanity and empathy. Contrary to the name of the arc, it barely had any real action since
Spoiler

there's just 2 people left in the world from a zombie plague

.

There isn't much more for me to say, the ability of the writer to convey emotions is something I cannot explain, but what I will say is that this is a gem with a rough surface. The opening chapters can be hectic from the author's rush to get to the meat of the story and expand the MC's character, but once you are like 30 chapters in, you will find that this story hooks you in with the borderline insane premise of dying

Honestly even now for me it is ahead in Ominiscient Reader by one step as in Ominiscient Reader, some characters were created for the story to be more intense and colorful but that's what made me resent the author a little characters that were very pitiful were mu*dered by dokkaibis or either some other people were just killed unjustedly but nonetheless I still finished the novel the mystery was great, plot twists were fcking cool too but this just hits different I didn't care for the mystery, I cared on... more>> how the author really used specific words that really just hits different,

Spoiler

Like how the elf guy told Kim Dokja:

Holding my head, I shakily got to my feet.

Ssonia was standing before me.

“Mm?”

-Lord Kekerkker.

His voice was serious.

“What... is it... ? Uwah, my head hurts. That alcohol was so bad...”

-I... would like to personally act in the next performance.

I raised my head to look at Ssonia.

An unknown desire shined in his blue eyes.

-I want to be like... No.

Ssonia said.

-I want to live like you.

[collapse]

the author's way of describing scenes, the author's way of expressing everyone's emotion, the comedy was awesome too, the romance it was just like out of a blue and that was why it was nice, it felt like a pure love of the MC and Raviel, like some puppy love that just seemed like how a guy would feel at his teenage years to a girl, like a smoothie mix of simpness with a bit of sweetness and a sprinkle of comedy. lastly that beautiful sunshine every time you read knowing it would always reach an ending where every victim will be consoled or the bad guy beaten up and with the MC using his wits to beat the stage in the most unexpected ways that it would also make you regret that villains with memory erasure don't exist in real life <<less

Th best thing that really makes this such an enjoyable read is the author's magnificent way with words that made everything sooo immersive that I felt my heart clutched and played like a stress ball. To the point that even the troupe/s I would normally not like would get me d*mn hooked. ... more>>
Spoiler

Like the Murim arc. I don't like Wuxia very much cause although I like their devotion, I don't agree that there's a clear distinction between good and evil. But this version of the author's was executed differently and very nicely. At least among the few Wuxia I've read.

[collapse]

I read the first few chapters in manhwa so I kinda skimmed those in the novel until the Murim arc.

Honestly, I didn't like MC at first. But it's just cause I related to him too much. Trapped in despair, jealousy, inferiority. I saw my reflection which is admittedly pathetic, that's why I hated it. I also didn't like his later tenacity cause I thought it would be toxic considering his numerous 'skill activation'.

Key point; it's all past tense. Aside from the plot's premise and uniqueness, what really got me hooked and devoted were the characters' growths and broadness.

—— Edit c125

Not sure if it's just affected by my mood from when I woke up but, from the second half of the Sormwyn arc, I lost the excitement I had.

Spoiler

I liked the romance although it was abit too abrupt that I suspected it was an effect of Raviel's skill, I liked their passion. They really got my blood boiling and heart thumping from their passion and their shamelessness. I specially liked the part when they kept dying as they kiss. I loved it, I felt my face burn.

But from after they finally shared their time, the romance started coming off as too overly cheesy and utterly cringe. At least to me.

From then on, I lost the excitement I had from all the previous chapters.

[collapse]

And then even after Sormwyn I still hadn't gotten back the excitement.... So I'm stopping here and maybe come back for it later. <<less
