This is an amazing story. Very well executed, perfectly balanced story telling where the MC earns all of his powers and there are no undeserved power-ups. So far, there seems to be a hint of romance but no indication of a harem (which is just the way I like it), and the story is building up quite nicely in terms of plot development.

There is a paid translation on a reading app as well, where they have translated up to 120+ chapters and update regularly, so that is much appreciated.

I liked the premise but felt the author took a more generic turn than I would of preferred. Even if this looks like a negative review, I would recommend reading. It starts with the MC navigating a cartoonish villainous family on the second attempt. It's interesting in how nuanced the interactions have to be and how he always has to walk on a knife's edge due to his secrets. There are a few moments in the story where you can feel the suspense or shock. However quickly the MC leaves... more>> the family and goes out into the world. A lot of tension is lost and it quickly feels like a generic adventure plot. The family still matters but are rarely involved. I likely would of preferred a tighter story as it currently lacks goals and structure. I would also like to state that there is a legal English dub on an app and I think the translations are very well done and worth the money. <<less

I finished reading the novel (1147 chapters if you're interested) just yesterday and I was really, REALLY pissed off by how they decided to end the story. There will be some spoilers so read this at your risk.

Let's start by saying that I enjoyed reading the novel for most of the time. Yes, there are the classic clichés like MC being really lucky about a lot of things, enemies dying because they underestimate him, being saved just at the right moment and other things, but I think they were around... more>> the normal level for this kind of novel. It's not uncommon to see, so no real surprise about that.
Most of the things I didn't like started after Jin became 10-star:

1. The Evil God Arc and the way they were able to kill him was plot armor to the extreme level.

2. The introduction of the new enemies after this was rushed and there were so many information, names and new things to remember that one felt overwhelmed.

3. The Demon World Arc wasn't really exciting apart from Keliac that seems to tried some tricks. Jito was simply a funny guy and wasn't even a difficult enemy at all. Yea, Jin's fight with Paelito was good, but what happened after that? Not to much.

Those things alone are what they are, but I still find those acceptable respect to what happened next. The final arc. THE FUC*ING
Spoiler

MULTIVERSE

[collapse]
. When I saw the story starting going to this direction I simply couldn't believe my eyes. I was even wondering if I was still reading the same story. The only reason I even bothered going on reading was because I thought that if I didn't I wouldn't have the right to writing about it. (For those who don't want spoiler go at the end).

Spoiler

This whole arc has so many problems and skips so many things I don't even know where to start. Let's try making a list for now.

1. Ban's power level, that was godlike was matched by an avatar of the Sun God. And he wasn't the only Avatar in existence. There were others at the same level. Dante was able, alone, fleet or whatever, while he wasn't even at the Creation level, to stand against him for hours. That's impossible. Against Paelito, that wasn't even at the same level of Creation they couldn't stand a second, but against this monster he could. Why?

2. Kingelo was disbanded like nothing because of the Multiverse and Margiella's power was never explained even though they hinted it being important so many times.

3. The Ganesto family literally add nothing to the plot. They did nothing from the moment they were introduced to the moment they were wiped out in two chapters. Joshua's profecy was completely forgot. Like it didn't even existed. All of the Ganesto Family were destroyed in two chapters. They were forgettable.

4. Heluram was treated like sh*t. Powerful enemy became ally and then sacrificed herself for the sake of the world.

5. History manipulation, Valeria's magic, god's and phoenix's dimensions, King of the Black Sea... and so many other things were treated sooo poorly.

6. Everyone was resurrected because we want an happy ending for poor Jin. Resurrection, if not treated carefully, it's one of the most horrible things that can happen in a story.

[collapse]
Basically, this was a pretty enjoyable story that was completely destroyed by his last arc. Seems to me like the author didn't know how to continue and ended it in the worst possible way ever. In a way I'm impressed: I never thought it was possible to f*ck up things at this level, but this author sure did.

Good luck to everyone that want to start this. <<less

Horrid.

Absolutely dreadful.

I dont give shite about plot armor or power creep. Its the attitude of the characters.

He supposedly contracted with God of Shadows (another Solo Leveling rip off) - okay. But his supoosed alt name is "The Infinite." How convinient. He also happens to contract the strongest dragon. Okay. Sure. But why does dragon have the most annoying chracteristic ever? Why is he given humane characteristic? And why is he boning fkn Nanny? I cant. Its just weird. Its an animal like a million yrs old. Acts like douche with... more>> d!ck permanenntly stuck between his a$cheek

MC just acts his age. You thought his regressed age? Oh no. Some 30 yr old man larping as 15 year old, acting like pubecent is absolutely off putting. I fkn hate the fact he acts like he is genius lol. But thats what I signed up for with regressed novels. Cant blame the author, its the trope. Okay. Sure. But what the fk is that moral compass? Whats his chracter? It doesnt exist. There is no character. Even your below avg DND group can keep a better character consistency. Evil? Yes. Compassinate? Yes. That is not character. Its just author stuck between making his character edgy and "good" at the same time. Just no.

Lastly his family. Cruel, and vicious. Tried to kill MC many times. At first I thought father had many wives. But its just one mother putting her children against each other, even encourage killing another. Okay sure. That totally makes sense right? There were many histories of imperial children fighting against another. But MC just refuses to kill another. Perhaps I havent read the entire thing, and he does later.. But its absolutely off putting. Its like he had been abused in his past, even to the point of believing he had been poisened by his sibling. So where is hatred? Its gone. The sypnosis is clickbait. Its all clickbait. Hatred is not real. MC doesnt have a character. <<less

Chapter-110.
I am at latest chapter and all I can say is that it is worth your time. It is story about a pitiful man who got harrassed by his family at every turn due to being untalented, as you can interpret by the title of the novel.
MC's regression is not explained but I think it will be explained later.
World building and side characters are not yet to be explored but I think it has potential to be interesting.
MC is not that unique if your are veteran in this field- that is, being cool headed, cold blooded to enemies and warm hearted to alies, growing overpowered that everyone will be gawking at you and yes future knowledge which gets useless as the story progresses so he is not that unique and it sometimes feels cliche.
Still it's 95 percent much better than the other tr*sh which are all over sites.
So, if your are wondering whether to start this or not then definitely start it.

I love this novel. So far, the plot is a bit different than other cliche novel. The conflict continuously raising and the enemies getting stronger from person to person. The MC not only have enemy from outside, but also from his crazy family. Man, I do really mean his family is crazy! All of they have a cold-hearted side to other member because of throne succesion. Home doesn't feel like home, hiks.

The MC's character is hard working and intelligent, but also rational. Sometimes he makes a questionable decision, this is... more>> not only for other character in the novel, but also for me as the reader. And in the end that was a good decision. If I conclude his character until ch514, he is an ambitious person.

If you like light novel that has an MC who doesn't op from start or maybe op but still facing hard time and sometimes get lost, I recommend this for you. Take a seat and have an enjoy reading time! <<less

So far, so good

Only thing I'm worried about is side characters and most importantly, our main character wavering from his goal. Don't forget that this family had forsakened you and killed you, so stop smiling and being so smug so damn much. I'm still suspicious of Luna because she didn't help him the first go around when he was weak I'm not sure how I feel about her. I hope Jin slaughters his family like it was suggested when he wanted revenge. It seems like he now wants to rule... more>> over them which sucks because the premise and beginning make it seem like he wanted to change the way to ruthless family operated. <<less

OP MC but he has annoying companions. No tension since one companion is super OP while the other is also pretty strong, while both are very loyal to MC. The dragon spends half his time whining about stuff. The nanny is pretty cool though.

Romance: maybe some foreshadowing with the ice girl?

Dropped this because some random child character shows up which I never enjoy reading, no doubt that the kid has some powerful parent and MC will be blackmailed into helping them.

The first concept was about regression, but the story really great. The MC has suffer very much to gain his power and become stronger. The plot was great.

I noticed that people rate this lower than usual because they found this type of character bland and boring. Well, it's true MC is way ahead compared to his peers since he regressed and have the advantage of all he learned in his past life. He is also OP, but this is way, way better compared to the usual trope of novels.

The story plot was actually good. The pacing, the characters, the powers and the world building - it is really nice to read. MC's personality is also very interesting.... more>> He is not too kind, not too cruel and not s*upid as well. He knew how to make use of his knowledge and gifted by luck on his second chance of life. Magicians, dragon, gods, human contractors, royalty and imperial schemes - these are some of what you will encounter while reading.

I understand that some of us are fed up on cliche storyline. It is good to expand our search and look for better novels. But there is just something on this one that I can't give up on and made me waited for several months to come back for an update. And the wait is worth it. It's fun to read.

Thus, I recommend you also give this a try to read. Ciao~ <<less
