Description
Links are NOT allowed. Format your description nicely so people can easily read them. Please use proper spacing and paragraphs.I used to think that my stealing skill only worked on what was worthless to a person.
But just before I died, I realized that I could also steal the skills.
So I stole the regression.

- Kraush, the MC, is clever, sly, cunning, has a strong will, and doesn't give up no matter what. His tenacity is admirable yet painful because oftentimes, it's bordering madness. He acknowledges that he isn't a genius and lacks the talent so he perseveres until he becomes stronger. He uses every means, even if it means consuming everything.
- The relationship between Kraush and Bianca, his fiancé, is wholesome. They're so cute together. They're like siblings taking care of each other in their own ways. They are each other's pillar of support. Because Kraush always pushes himself to the limit in most of his battles, he inevitably always passes out but before he does, he tries to go and see Bianca first (most likely to reassure her that he's alive and just to see her), which is so adorable 🥰
- Kraush isn't the only regressor with his old memories intact. There are a total of 5, including Kraush. To be precise, only 1 is a real regressor cause he possesses the ability to regress while the remaining 4 have their memories of the past. I consider this a positive cause Kraush isn't the only one who can use the future knowledge to his advantage but the others as well, which makes the future events more unpredictable to the MC.
- Humans' complex emotions and contradicting feelings are delved into in this novel because of Bianca's curse, which makes the other minor characters feel more alive. Even the issues within the families of supporting characters are given some spotlight.
- Kraush's battles are hard-earned through literally blood, sweat, and tears. He doesn't singlehandedly overpower his opponents (who are usually leagues above him) through sheer strength alone. He uses everything in his arsenal, even sacrificing a few limbs to achieve victory. This makes his battles more realistic.
- Kraush not only grows in terms of prowess but also as a character. I love how it was portrayed when he was able to heal and move on from his past scars, and realized that people can change and that he shouldn't judge them based on his knowledge from the past.
- Supporting characters are given their spotlight and enough screen time about their inner struggles, thoughts, character development & past experiences. I especially liked Bianca's character development. It tugged at my heartstrings 😭
- Kraush's tenacity, determination, and characteristic of never giving up, even in the face of a despairing situation, inspire and spread to other supporting characters, which in turn contributes to their character growth. I especially liked how Anik's character development turned out, thanks to Kraush's influence.
- The way the author develops and portrays the relationships between the characters is well done. The dynamics between characters—such as their interactions, emotions, and conflicts—are skillfully crafted, making them feel realistic, engaging, and meaningful within the context of the story. The relationships contribute significantly to the novel's overall impact, drawing me as a reader into the characters' lives.
- The pacing is good. It's not too fast yet not too slow.
- The execution of the story is good. It's not the kind of novel where major events are narrated one after another without any breaks.
- Kraush doesn't become OP in one go. His prowess gradually increases throughout the story. His growth is shown through training, duels, or battles.
- The author lets the MC grow first before throwing him into the academy. I like that aspect because other novels' MCs were immediately shoved to the academy arc and then the authors have a hard time coming up with events within the academy that's why they make scenarios where the MC had to go out of the academy for their character growth, which makes the academy arc irrelevant. I also like that the MC met important supporting characters along the way as he tried to increase his prowess and not all at once in the academy.
- There's a secondary couple, Aslan & Dorothy. I like their stories 💗
FALLBACKS:- Narration is more on tell than show.
- Repetitions of the same information that were previously narrated. I've lost count of how many times it was narrated that Kraush had contained countless curses in his body.
- There are quite a few instances where full-grown women joke with the MC in a s*xual way, which I find inappropriate cause he's just 13-14 at the time. A LITERAL CHILD. That's s*xual harassment yet the author seems to like incorporating that aspect. 🚩Kraush might have the mind of an adult but the female adults don't know that and only see him as he is.... the body of a kid barely reaching puberty.
- The story would have benefited more from a more diverse range of supporting characters... at least that's what I felt. The focus on female characters was interesting, but having a broader mix of genders in the supporting roles could have added more balance and variety to the dynamics. It would have been nice to see different perspectives and interactions, which could have enriched the narrative more.
Spoiler
[collapse]
- There are occasional mistranslations of character names and inconsistencies with skill names.
- This is a personal pet peeve but when the author describes the physical appearance of most of the female supporting characters, he always emphasizes their chests or having a voluptuous body. Like?? Out of all the physical aspects a woman has, the author almost always describes only those 2 🚩🚩
OTHERS:I glimpsed at the future chapters to check if Kraush really ends up with a harem and to my dismay, he did. He ended up with 4 wives. I knew that this novel had a harem. But at the beginning till around the 100s, it seemed to be going in the direction of Kraush being surrounded by females but ultimately ending up with Bianca. At first, Kraush's relationships with the other female supporting characters were platonic so I hoped that he would end up solely with Bianca. I was really rooting for the two that's why I got so disappointed to the point that I lost interest in reading further. This is also the reason why I rated this novel 4 stars. If it wasn't for that, I would've probably rated it 5 cause I liked the story execution and how the author portrayed the character developments & their interpersonal relationships. Btw, I don't dislike the other girls that ended up with Kraush. They're likable, have their own strengths, and truly care for Kraush's well-being. I just got so invested in my ult couple that's why haha
- Kraush's situation as the untalented & youngest child of the strongest & renowned family, the demigod father coming back from a super dangerous area called the "forbidden zone" just to see Kraush and the mother's attitude towards her children all reminded me of Swordmaster's Youngest Son. However, this is how far the similarities of the two go.
