Regression…

It’s an ability so fraudulent that it doesn’t require any detailed explanation.

Yes, I also agree that it is a fraudulent ability, but…

Isn’t it too much to regress due to just a slightest injury…?

really great!

our protagonist Kim Jun-ho has the ability to regress, but he does automatically upon even a slight injury. Even with such a powerful ability like regression, in an environment like the tower, where danger is around every corner he will need to hone his skills, plan ahead, and make sure he doesn't lose himself in his countless regressions.

So, a few points I especially like:

while Jun-ho is intelligent, he isn't superhumanly so. He uses his regressions ability, his knowledge of 'tower-style' stories, and deductive reasoning to reach his conclusions... more>> and find out the secrets of each floor. I think that if you're also familiar with these types of stories, and follow the story closely, you can also reach the same conclusions.

Spoiler

I like the emotional aspect of the story very much. Jun-ho is able to regress, which terrifies him for several reasons. He wonders if every time he regress because he can't pass the floor if he is abandoning his friends to die. He is scared of succumbing to the regressor-depression syndrome, especially after regressing dozens of times, he start to view his teammates as if they're npcs of sort, because he knows exactly how they'll act. He tries really hard to make sure he will not lose himself, and his relationship with his friends and teammates is really well written, you truly feel like they care for each other.

[collapse]

Spoiler

Another interesting aspect is the humanization of the npcs. The goblins and the goblin shaman at the tutorial are not just monsters, they are very human in a sense. The tower residents on the second floor and how they're forced to live a life devoid of freewill is another interesting moral question (which also brings into question the climbers themselves, after all, aren't they climbing the tower because like the npcs they too are forced by an uncaring god?).

[collapse]

in conclusion, read this! Great novel! <<less

I walked into this novel expecting a light hearted comedy with a munchkin protagonist, and walked out feeling like I had read the second coming of SSS-Class su*cide Hunter (although, admittedly, SSS is still better). The 4th floor arc, which starts at chapter 82 and is still ongoing, is absolutely incredible, so I would bid all of you to keep reading until that gets translated.

So, let's start by breaking down some of the key elements of the novel.

Characters:

For the most part, the side characters in the story are fairly underwhelming,... more>> although in the most recent chapters I've been seeing a lot of promise in the development of Choi Ji-won, but we'll have to wait and see what direction the author takes it. However, the MC is simply fantastic. He is initially reduced as a foil of sorts to most infinitely/pseudo infinitely regressing MC's (i.e Kim Gongja from SSS-Class su*cide Hunter), with him, while not being a selfish and self-centered a**hole, still puts himself above everyone else, choosing not to seek out a "perfect ending" because he fears the mental strain constant regressions will put on him as well as potentially making mistakes that could lead to consequences not even his regression could save him from.
Spoiler

As the story develops, he experiences an incredibly well paced and developed growth into a messiah of sorts, and, running the SSS-Class su*cide Hunter comparison again, almost becomes like Gong-ja.

[collapse]

Power System:

Regression is Too Much has a genuinely interesting power system when it comes to the MC. Although any infinitely regressing skill is, by nature, practically undefeatable, the MC's comes with a lot of drawbacks that are not often seen. For example, in the first few chapters, the MC is so weak that he can't even venture out to kill monsters because he will get cut by blades of grass and be forced to regress. It's honestly quite absurd and is really "too much'. The skill has checkpoints of sorts as well, those being each floor of the tower, meaning that once the MC has locked onto a path for a given floor and advances to the next, there is no going back, which is great because the regression skill isn't just an end all brute force solution to every problem. This also compounds with the early consequence, being that even if he is 99% of the way through clearing a very long floor, if he gets even the slightest injury he will be forced to restart the entire floor, and the story really does drive in the mental strain this puts on him as he is forced to rely on the power more and more. The MC also gains some other skills that are very powerful, but have relatively strict conditions for the most part and are never strong enough for the MC to not need to rely on his regression to achieve the best (or at least near-best) ending.

World-building:

There isn't much to say about the world-building aspect of the story. It's pretty much a typical tower story, all things given, with a few minute but ultimately inconsequential differences. It is kinda interesting how the tower has 66 floors, but that's just a fun little easter egg (and honestly probably some sort of foreshadowing).

Plot:

All things considered so far the plot isn't anything special. The tutorial was interesting but ultimately pretty unremarkable, the same goes for the third floor which I felt was also sort of lacking. The main driving points of those two floors was the growth the MC experiences as he goes through them. The second floor is slightly more interesting but still not that great, but the fourth floor is absolutely fantastic and was what brought this novel to 5 stars for me. It's gritty, brutal, and the final method to "beat" the floor is not just pulled out of the authors ass but is actually set up very well and a keen-eyed detective might be able to find out the answer by themselves.

Overall:

This story is an absolute gem. If you enjoyed SSS-Class su*cide Hunter, Re:Zero, or any other pseudo-infinitely regressing series, do give it a try. If you haven't enjoyed any of those, give this a story a try anyway because it's good. <<less

This is a pretty good novel. The story reminds me of su*cide Hunter and how the MC uses the infromation from previous iterations and finding every secret in each floor has to offer, even minor characters who died in the other iterations or someone who does meaningless things might be one of the keys to completing the floor or that the boss monster having a deep backstory that will make you change the whole perspective of the floor. The ability of returning even by a simple injury might make you... more>> think that it isn't that bad, but MC is just a regular person, after regressing a lot of times because of a simple mistake, we can see his character changing every time, there was a time when he died while slacking off, became a mu*derer and a hero. But even after all that, he's just another ordinary person, although he might be able to endure it a couple times, but after failing a bunch of times, despair finally got him. Remember that MC is not your typical regressor, he is weak, he lacks too much information, and he has no talent, and unlike other death regressor MC he is mentally weak, he can't keep repeating trying to learn swordmanship for three whole years just to escape the first floor, if he really does that he will definitely lose sanity. He needs to use every information he got, key character's help and a bunch of secrets that lies between every corner of the floor, he is not a loner regressor, he needs every advantages he can to pass each trial and maintains his sanity, as he stated before, although he can become completely strong with his ability, the thing that he needs first and foremost is to throw away his humanity and sanity altogether, but his goal is to conquer the tower while maintaing his humanity to some extent, while still being sane.

Overall it's definitely well recommended for ppl who are tired of the typical regression stories, and currently there's a bunch of generic academy novels in NU, you might want to try this novel out.

Spoiler

Spoiler : Unlike other regression stories, the regressor typically hides the fact that he is a regressor, but after 25 chapters and regressing 10+ times, he finally decided to tell that he is a regressor to one of his close companions.

[collapse]

PS. The translations are actually good, although some chapters TL quality drop a little bit, it's still definitely a high-quality one, you can also drop a 5* in NU to support the TL. <<less

This recommendation is very simple, if you like fast-paced action, overpowered characters and hate slow character development, run away. This series is not for you.

But on the flip side, if you're a fan of character-focused, slightly comedic, slow-paced and psychological action, this novel is for you.

This series perfectly subverts the OP skill Regression by making our MC regress with the slightest injury. This leads him to tackle various issues and struggle his way up - You won't find any OP MCs in this novel. Our MC is smart, but not... more>> too smart, strong but not too strong, and it's really a story of working your way up. The novel is arguably, horrendously slow, 20 chapters in, he's still not out of the tutorial, but I love it because I really like how it sets up his system and his relationship with the cast (mainly our psycho FMC). The world feels truly thought out, and depth is given to what the side characters are doing, especially because our MC needs every bit of information he can to regress properly considering his weakness.

It's a really good novel, and I have high hopes. But don't come into this expecting fast-paced action, you will be sorely disappointed, but this story's creativity, the world-building and most importantly, character-depth, win out for me, especially with the good translation, so anyone who has a similar taste to mine, bite your teeth into this, it will not disappoint (for 20 chapters at least). <<less

I would highly recommend this story if you like the regression plot device. It's like a funnier version of ORV and it's by far the best regression novel I have read in recent times. So far the story is really good. The MC has a really unique powerset that's interesting to read about. The side characters don't feel like a plot device to further the mc's ambitions. Reading about Mc's suffering to achieve his objectives is also great fun. There is no glaring spelling issues in the translation

I must say the story managed to blow my expectations, in a good way. It follows the regressor trope but what makes it fun is that the protagonist is forced to regress with even the slightest injury. The way the novel slowly delves into the tower system and its working is also interesting.

Anyway, I'm looking forward to the story and hope the release rate picks up! It's a must read!

I actually quite like this novel. I like the paving and how he struggles with keeping his sanity in tact with hiw crappy his regression ability is. I do like trying to wait until the chapters build up and he passes a floor though to read all at once.

The issue is the current sporadic translation speed makes it very hard. Sometimes it won't update for days, sometimes you'll get a random chapter and someday you'll get several in one day lol.

Could it be better? Sure. It could have been polished even further, adding more nuance, developing the other characters better, having the reader feel the weight of each regression rather than just summarizing it (not that I don't understand why the author did it that way). Even in its current state its a 8 out of 10, maybe even higher but more will have to be translated to be certain.

Anyways, not really much to say except go read it if the synopsis seems appealing to you. This entirely is a... more>> novel about the main character getting an otherwise insane power and him trying to utilize it to the best of his ability while trying to balance it with his mental state. <<less

I like this quite a lot, the premise is fun, the protagonist doesn't have a quality I find too much of a stretch, and while the FML (so far) is a little off the rails, nearing the point where I finish the reveal as to why comes a bit more into focus and makes the finish of this arc I guess I would call it... sort of poignant. The protagonist gets a little too sentimental about parting, as I think he should have a bit more confidence in being able... more>> to build relationships especially given his powers, but those too sort of serve as this interesting way to build a new dynamic during each time he comes back.

I think this has strong bones and could be a great novel down the road... too early to tell, but its not a bad start at all. There's a element where I think audience identity could be lost in the world building of the tower and how people react to it, so I think they need to be careful, but I think the risk could draw in more people's attention so its not like there is no pay off for doing it well.

At the moment I give it 5 stars, but due to the length of the arc, I can't honestly tell if the quality stays on par for the course. I like a lot of it. <<less

Feels almost a bit early to give this a 5*, but it looks promising and seems to be getting better. It's the usual regression plot but pumped up to the extreme. It isn't until the climax of the first arc that it starts to show it's hand a little bit—where it hits some very SSS-Class su*cide Hunter type notes.

It's possible that it'll become aimless due to the whole concept of climbing floor after floor in a tower, as do a lot of tower climbing novels. It might also end up... more>> going down the Mary Stu route once he gets stronger and is able to cope with his trait. I'll try to update my review in the case of either of those happening. <<less
