Description

Links are NOT allowed. Format your description nicely so people can easily read them. Please use proper spacing and paragraphs.

Minseo was trapped in [Raise Lena].

With the emotionless text, “[Starting Raise Lena]” he became Leo and was imprisoned in an unfamiliar world.

“Leo! Are you listening to me?”

“Uh-huh?”

“Leo? Why the long face? You! Are you messing with me again?”

There, he met his childhood friend, Lena, skillfully picking berries.

The lovely Lena. Leo marries her in a peaceful mountain village…

[Lena is married! Congratulations.] [You have failed to clear Raise Lena.] [Restarting.] The happiest moment.

Lena disappeared.

And….

“Leo! Are you listening to me?”

“Huh? Lena!”

“Why have you been spacing out? And why are you looking at me like that? You wanna get beat up?”

Lena, clad in thick leather armor and a sword on her shoulder, stared at him with unwavering eyes.

It was a different scenario. Real

The multiple prospectives over the multiple timelines and how each timeline affects the others was masterfully done.

Spoiler

Rev I swear the Auther just worked him to the bone (he got rid of 2 of the Ashen and helped get rid of the other 2) my guy even had to face Leriala's boredom childish assault and lost his 2 children to her just because Lean asked him? While Lean was enjoying a happy life with his wife? And made Lana suffer child loss just for Lerala not to break loose on the world?.

[collapse]

Anyway

The battles in this novel were interesting, I especially liked

Spoiler

The 2 battles against the Oran princes, especially the one next to the river. I managed to actually picture the battle, and the tactics were actual tactics, not some nonsense.

I recommend reading this one it was a solid read

Also thenks to the translators. <<less

Definitely one of the Best.

Pro:-

World building is very complex, you get to see how small details that seemed useless lead to a something big.

... more>> Characters got depth to them not there just to boot lick protag

MC (minseo) gets his own character development from a looser to became a person capable to face adversities in his life.I personally love minseo character he is like a normal human lazy pathetic, selfish, depressed, broken and mostly someone who just don't want to suffer. You get to see how he intially tries things that are easy for him only and how karma gets him. (Those hating should try dragon ball super I think they might like that one as it only requies 1 brain cell)

Plot always keeps u engaged give plot twist that you never expect in way that makes sense after u ponder a little not like some bullsh*t excuse to fill the gaps

Cons:-

Story telling is complex and hard to understand, like the concept of how minseo consciousness is more dominant in the start but as he losses orignal leo dominates making their decision making mixed. This might be good for those who like complex stories but for someone who only read "I became sss class broken constellation hunter after 10000 year in frozen demon world with outer gods" it might come as strange

MC is pathetic at start u get to see how he keeps doing things that are selfish. (While this might be due to his naive nature which u see how he deals with it as he grows. To our sss class hunters he might come as a looser who couldn't just pick up a mythic class item) <<less

I got hooked on it at the start, a beginning of the story similar to regression. I would say that the tragedy of the world is highlighted well in this novel, and here is where my problem starts. The protagonist knows that he needs to protect Lena, yet he neglects training for poor reasons. The MC has no concept of preparation and in the process ALLOWS lots of tragedy. The author seems to be making poor excuses for the reason the MC refuses to get stronger, an example being ... more>>
Spoiler

"even if I become a swordmaster it doesn't make me a ruler, since I need leadership skills and I am poor at that" What is the point of regression asides from continuous improvement? The MC just puts off the thought without even considering learning leadership skills or anything of the like. In addition, the MC being a swordmaster would at least stop Lena from getting into bad situations and would improve their living standard, stopping her from foolish actions

[collapse]
. The illogical thinking process of the MC exposes the author's shallow goals of tear jerking and makes the story into one where characters simply become puppets, really breaking immersion. Basically, the biggest flaw with this novel is that the MC does not utilize his (sort of) regression at ALL, and just waits for the system to hand out information and skills to him, truly incompetent. Character development? System handouts. <<less

This novel is a brave attempt by the author to craft a complicated story with lots of moving parts, but it is just that. An attempt.

The core aspect - the setting itself and the background narrative are a success, but everything beside that falls flat disastrously.

So, the author has a story in mind, how does it progress? It doesn't.

... more>> STORY DOES NOT PROGRESS.

MC is an incompetent, hateful prick, who can be described as a spoiled and cruel child at best. He could fail even while picking his nose, how can you even talk about navigating himself through an unfamiliar world.

But the story need to move forward... BAM!! DEUS EX MACHINA! Now MC knows how to fight with a sword... BAM!! DEUS EX MACHINA! Now MC knows everything about nobles and can act like one perfectly... BAM!! DEUS EX MACHINA! Now MC can find any person's location at any given moment, etc, etc...

But the only consequence for breaking any semblance of immersion and adding more and more instant chats arbitrarily is that MC keeps failing at greater and greater scale. It only highlights how incompetent he is. But there's more!

Not only is he useless and insufferable, there is another thing that brings him down even further.

Fundamental flaw of any possession story. Pointless drama about the original owner of the body still being around. It is already bad as is, but the author just adds more problems and complications into this conflict out of nowhere.

EVERY bit of progress is a result of author's arbitrary decision to add one cheat or another. Then, not to get to bored, author decides to add some convoluted complications for no reason at all. Wow. Such great drama.

This simply does not function as "a story" at all. <<less

This is a novel written by a sadistic author. I sometimes find the type, who love to write words that hurt, to setup scenarios that place characters on cliffs, all for their game of making the reader endure. However, these authors tend to have a natural enemy on their crusade to raise my blood pressure, and that is the fact that they cannot kill the main cast, or at least there is someone furrowing their brow at them whenever they go through with it.

Because it is real. Because they cannot... more>> come back. The real world that is lived in prevents these absolute bellends who happen to have good skills from wreaking havoc.

Well, this novel doesn't have that limitation. Regression makes it so that it is almost inevitable, in fact, and I am just on the journey of trying to figure out how the main character shits the bed this time around. The annoying point is a lot of the story is well written, and a lot of the character progression is well done.

But the author doesn't just wreak havoc by making it easy to cause tragedy. I must really emphasize that every base, every setup, is actively hostile to their (and your) happiness. The main character is an imbecile, his supporting power is actively useless, and, did I mention that the main character is an imbecile?

Of course, being a little bit s*upid is par the course, but the main character is a guy who intrinsically refused to ponder on his circumstances until 10 regressions in. He based all his actions on assumptions made without a thought, and made decisions that sometimes felt setup to fail. Often, the decisions can be realistic, and his panicking squall is probable, but when I can immediately tell the end of a regression, I find it akin to reading an obituary of a walking corpse.

There are also scenarios where the ending is not so clear, but I sometimes find reading this novel to be a bit jarring. For whoever tries it, just know that you are entering an inherently hostile environment. There is hardly a moment where you don't want to plead for someone to surgically remove the main character's brain and impart some f*cking common sense into his bleeding skull. <<less

I'm honestly puzzled by the amount of negativity in the reviews. It seems like many readers expect a protagonist to come out of nowhere and immediately become the strongest without any struggle.

However, I appreciate the realistic progression, even if it involves challenges and doesn't rely heavily on tropes like an overdone harem.

all I want to say is that this is an absolutely incredible novel, especially for someone like me who enjoys stories focused on character growth.

To new readers, I just want to say: don't worry about the reviews—start reading... more>> and discover the story for yourself.

At first, you might find yourself questioning the main character's actions, but by the end, you'll realize that if you were in his position, you would likely do the same. <<less

An interesting take on regression novels, despite not being one itself! Though, in my opinion, it's much more chilling and unnerving than regular regression plots.

While the title is a bit misleading, as the FL is neither a princess nor needs to overcome death, that's essentially the goal.

The MC is "reborn" (as of chapter 10, it's not really explained what happened to him) into another world. There, he's forced to raise Lena (FL) to become a princess. At least, that's what he assumes. However, every time he fails, he's dragged to... more>> a parallel world with a different Lena, setting, and personality. Yet, the premise remains the same.

So far, each life is rather quick, not lasting more than a few chapters. The MC partially gains some of his abilities after each "run", but becoming strong seems so far away. It also depends on the world. In some runs "strength" might not be very useful, but that remains to be seen.

It's interesting to watch the MC struggle between his emotional and rational sides. Logic tells him that he should use each "life" to improve his skills and disregard the FL, but emotionally, it's impossible as he always starts off incredibly close to the FL, whether that be through an engagement, sibling, childhood friend, etc.

The only problems I see with the novel are:

-It's hard to get a read on the characters. Since everyone but the MC only lasts a few chapters, they're constantly changing. Even the MC is constantly changing.

-We're left in the dark (including the MC) regarding most things, leaving me a little confused and unsure of what's really happening.

-Lastly, what's the purpose behind all these different lives?

These could be good or bad things, depending on how you look at it. However, I'll withhold judgment as Chapter 10 is a bit too early to decide anything and the novel hasn't been thoroughly fleshed out yet.

My conclusion: Give it a try. With so many Regression, Reincarnation, and Transmigration novels out there, this one's a bit different. The translator is good, the updates so far are frequent, and it's not a chore to read. It has the potential to be something truly unique and I look forward to seeing how everything comes together. <<less

I am a tragedy fan. So this novel has a positive bias from me. But what I want to point out is that like every other novel, protagonist doesn't win in first try after first regression. That is much more realistic. But we have to acknowledge the fact that protagonist is dumb. AND I don't know why he is not openly discussing about it with lena (FML).

This is an unbelievably good novel that actually have CULTURE. The problem with other novels are the culture can be very modern even when placed in feudal or monarchic era. It's all haphazard. But in this novel, there's actual meaning in being a nobel or being a commoner, every single action and thought is being governed by your station in life.

Of course, because there's magic and mana it's still very lenient, even more lenient than modern times in certain aspects like women being priests and warriors.

I like all the characters... more>> in this novel, they all have reasons for doing what they do. Maybe logical maybe illogical, but humans are like that. Some commentors are very harsh on MC but MC is a loser, so I don't know what they expect from loser MC? If you are a loser you will still be a loser wherever and whenever you go, it's all the other MCs that just break character the moment they step into another world. He did his best already.

In addition, the translation is very good, though some words are just wrong so they need to check before just posting it after running it through chatgpt. <<less

Just finished binge reading the manhwa and then just starting on the novel. When I first read the manhwa, I immediately fell in love with it. With the MC, Lena, the concept, the plot, everything.

Gotta say that this is not your typical reincarnation story. At first, you might get annoyed by the MC's weak will and flaws, but the story progresses, you might find yourself getting immersed in the story itself and Lena. And if you like some good character development and world building, this might just be for you.

Spoiler

There are three timelines in which the MC is reincarnated to.

1. Childhood Friend timeline

> Leo (Aka Mc) is a hunter's son and Lena's childhood friend. Both him and Lena have mutual feelings for each other. However, Lena's dream of becoming a priestess is in the way of Leo marrying her or Leo making Lena a princess.

2. Betrothal timeline

> Leo is the son of a knight and is betrothed to Lena, the chief's daughter, since they were young. In the first playthrough, Lena is way stronger than Leo in terms of fighting and swordsmanship. In the end, Lena was dispatched to war in order to become a knight, while Leo couldn't follow her due to the lack of skill and experience. Lena was KIA by a knight of enemy country.

3. Siblings timeline

> Leo and Lena are a pair siblings (and presumably one of nobles blood). Despite being in the capitol, they're nothing but homeless. They struggle to survive because of poverty and Leo had to take care of Lena, who was still very naive, while making a living.

This novel is a standout piece of work, with exceptional character descriptions and writing that make it easy to become fully immersed in the story. Despite moments of frustration and feeling lost due to the "sweet potatoes, " the plot's resolution is surprisingly satisfying and well-executed. The characters and narrative are so engaging that I can confidently say it's the best novel I've read recently. The story's plausibility is convincing, making the journey through its ups and downs all the more rewarding.

The novel is good; that is if you are sick of plot armor ;) (kinda...)

It's basiclly a story were you watch an "actually" average person who is forced into another world/life as he grows to what people describe as the protagonist/hero/superman etc...

Especially since it's similar to real life in the aspect that even if you are experienced and prepared as hell, life still could and will go wrong.

It's sometimes a bit extreme for no reason though (same as real world history unfortunately)

Anyway, anyone knows when will chapter 336 release?

I love the premise. I stopped reading at c59 and then when I picked it up again I am currently at the c217. This novel is amazing! I love the aspect of regressing so this was right up in my alley plus the added three different sets of main leads adds a lot of variety and intrigue into the question: How can Minseo even win this Raising Lena?

Okay let's say you were thrown in an familiar game world and you have a system telling what to do but you can get killed as many times you want and in each end of the story you get skills without any hardwork and understanding but " You're a failure ". Even with this things given out MC is still incompetent. This guy is not even trying to understand the reason why he should raise the fMC. If you are going to raise her stop getting emotional and raise her... more>> understand how world works then raise her but whom am I to say to change the story for my like. This is just my thought if it had gone with MC raising her without getting emotional and simping the fMC all the time maybe I would have liked the story

Spoiler

There is a prologue where MC was dumped by her ex girlfriend because he is a failure and after he was thrown into the game world he gets attracted to the fMC saying it's this body's fault really your ex girlfriend just dumped you but here you are trying your are best to get to that girl without any remorse and trying his best to make her like him. That's why she dumped you if you had atleast tried your best your ex-girlfriend might not have left you

Pretty good story. The premise is intriguing, the story is engaging, and its written and translated well. Beware of the MC action and thought in the story. The MC is very presumptuous and rarely cross check his assumption which often leads to questionable decision making.

Can be frustrating but 5 star regardless because it's... more>> engaging and that what matters <<less

This is my first time reviewing on Novel Updates.

I recently started reading novels and found this one randomly. At the time, it had over 150 chapters released.

My previous novel experiences were around 3 out of 5, but when I started this one, within the first 50 chapters, I thought, "Hey Leo, are you mad or something?" But as time went on, it became more interesting, and three particular scenarios made it even more enjoyable.

So don't overthink it and start reading today!

This is a fun read. Basically have 3 routes the MC has to play through and when each run ends, it gives a permenant buff. MC keeps failing runs (objective to make Lena a princess) and rotating between the runs and it gets pretty interesting seeing how routes change from his actions. Main character takes a long time to get strong, and even at his peak, he isn't able to solo armies, just at the same level as others at the peak of power.

Edit: after reading till near the... more>> end, there is some unnessessary filler in the novel. Still has a lot of very good plot twists which more than makes up for the filler. Would still 100% recommend <<less

This book is basically torture p*rn for the reader. It makes you absolutely despise the MC with all the s*upid antics he gets up to. In the beginning it was alright (even the sad parts) because he was just learning along the way, but now the MC is choosing the worst paths known to man.

There are two personality in the same body. Leo and Minseo. Honestly Minseo should just die. This dude is so horrible, it’s disgusting what he does in order to get his way.

Hidden gem!

Readers beware though many things in this story have to be read between the lines or treaded carefully and then pieced together by yourself as often times the reason and hints are peppered here and there but never outright explained. It reminds me a little of traditional book in that sense more than webnovels.

A lot of reviewer also seemed to be confused about the writing but I think it seemed to stem from the translation quality than the story itself (continuity errors, spelling errors or awkward sentences)

edit: I saw many comments bashing Lena. But I think she is purposefully written in a way that is like a blank canvas as she is the protagonist of a raising sim game. Many of her traits are something you find in such game (quick to learn things or weak to strong character) that is why I think its understandable that she feels so useless or weak because that is how our main character been treating her thus far. In a way he is not playing the game as how it should be.. And that is.. Raising Lena

Infermite Review is spot on. Honestly I didn't think a looping novel could be this sadistic and boring at the same time. It's a novel about a dumbass stuck in a game and having to raise his Gal through several loops, but gosh is it mid in almost all aspects.

For example, the economy: really, if you start pondering about it for a bit, it doesn't make much sense. The main character is always pretty much short changed and it's done to screw him off. For example, even when he can... more>> be in a major position as a assault captain of a mafioso family and earn a nice keep but his sister can start whoring herself out for a few weeks and earn multiple times of what he made in months.

Also, Minseoo (not Léo, to be clear) is too... How do I say, lacking in originality? There is no ressentment in him about the girl who always drags him down and stops him from living as himself. It's quite odd, isn't it? His life now revolves around babysitting the various Lenas and, her and her circumstances are essentially what chains him to this world loop. His character is to be honest, quite boring.

The various Leos sucks too and suffers from the same flaw, the author distinguishes them by setting various backgrounds and whatever but their lives always revolves around their Lenas, they have no actual character of their own, no hobbies, action or thoughts for themselves alone or even an actual relationship with other characters. It's Focus is always on Lena 1# Lena 2# and Lena 3#.

Interesting concept, really. But the protagonist is a slow witted dullard with no character, Lenas are always the same and.... The side characters? Oh you mean the plot devices? They sure exist. The only good thing about the novel is the creative setting and how the author keeps endlessly being able to reiterate on stories with the same starting point. That takes some effort, so 3/5.

Anyhow. Peace out. <<less

The novel is quite unique and fun to read. It's not some s*upid "I got reincarnated in an otome game and have to avoid death flag" cookie cutter type isekai. There's quite a few elements that set the novel apart despite borrowing the setting of our protagonist reincarnating in a game world.

First of all is the POVs. In almost all of the novels that you read about game worlds, you have the MC reincarnate in somebody else's body. In this novel, the main character is the "foreign entity" while the... more>> host body still retains its base personality. The clash and interaction between our main character, Minseo, and all of the characters he possesses, the Leos are an integral motif and part of the story moving forward. With this, you can see the world in many different perspectives: the multiple Leos and their tendencies, Minseo's motivations and goals, and also sometimes, other side characters. Sometimes Minseo will fight with the Leos, clashing in what they want to do. Sometimes Minseo will feel anger, and Leos will feel sorrow. And sometimes they'll align with each other. The character building on our main characters does feel a lot more genuine as you see through the lens of the four main characters in this novel.

Second is the concept of regression. The novel the idea of regressing whenever our main character dies and carries those memories to the next cycle. This isn't entirely unique, but the way the author writes it out is fun. When a Leo achieves something, or when they prevent a tragedy from happening, that gets carried over to the next regression as an "anchor point" and from then on, Minseo and Leo will have an easier time trying to achieve their goals for the better. The way the world changes and how the same characters that you encounter will be under completely different circumstances is always fun to read.

Third is the stats. I love how this novel doesn't just gamify stats. It's not that the main character has discrete numbers defining his strength, intelligence, magic stat or whatever. Instead, the only gamification that this novel does is very surface-level. There are scenario clear rewards, achievements that increase Leo's strength by a indiscernible amount, such as being faster near borders, the ending credits scene for each regression. By limiting the game interface in the world, the novel becomes more grounded in reality and makes the Leos facing their challenges less of a game, but reality of course.

I do have to say that the novel starts off much stronger than it ends. From around Chapter 300 to 380, it's more like New Game + rather than Leo or Minseo having to face a huge challenge. If the chapters before chapter 300 are filled with life and death situations and uncertainty, then chapter 300 to 380 is like a pre-ordained fate or path towards victory that the Gods of the world want Leo or Minseo to achieve. It's almost like an epilogue where there's more focus on worldbuilding and some character development more than anything else. You explore different kingdoms, understand side characters more, figure out how the world works, but it's a little bit of extra information than being crucial to the plot.

With the last stretch also comes the bad parts of the novel. While the novel really tries to do character development, there are only a few characters that are genuine other than the main characters and the main heroines. The relationship between the Lenas and Leos are always endearing, and the romance is also that much more satisfying when you understand the challenges and obstacles they had to go through to get to where they are. The problem is that every damn side character has to have some romance too and they're all quite dull. The main culprits is beggar siblings' love interest. Tian is a character that pairs with the Lena in the beggar scenario. The problem is that this relationship between Tian and Lena isn't explored at all, and to be honest, Lena and Tian are both boring characters. The beggar scenario siblings definitely devolve to the worst characters in the novel, and part of that is because that scenario is the only one where Lena and Leo aren't love interests. Thus, the author has to write in one dimensional love interests that you don't care about. Jenia is Leo's love interest, but again, what does Jenia contribute to the story? Leo and Jenia are just fated to be together and that's it. No romance, no sense of achievement. Even Cassia, who isn't even a love interest, is fun to read about since Leo and Cassia had a complex relationship across multiple regression cycles. Cassia and Leo pick each other up and help each other, one way or the other, and through those strenuous times comes solid character development. Jenia, a noble, doesn't really have any obstacles or character development, and thus her relationship with Leo is similarly just shoehorned in.

Still, I found the novel, well novel. It takes the boring 'reincarnated to game' concept and does something new with it. The story is normal, but the worldbuilding and characters bring it to life. <<less
