Great story, had to forcefully put it down
great book BUT waste of money to read since hasnt been updated in 2 years and the author doesnt seem to care that she left people hanging no updated chapters let alone a update from author if she plans to finish books or not. DONT WASTE YOUR MONEY, LET THE AUTHOR HAVE TO GET BACK TO WORK TO EARN IT.
the story seems good so far, but the writing and grammar aren't great, in assuming some king of language barrier. in only on chapter 7 but it seems to be getting somewhere now
Omg!!!...Please the next chapter, please. I can't wait.
Who knows which chapter Nolan regained back his memory???
So for the available chapters, it doesn’t introduce anything groundbreaking in its general setting; it’s something many have seen in numerous novels. However, it stands out with its characters and their interactions. The dialogue is among the best in its genre. While the bar is low, it leaps over it, and I must give major props to the translator. It’s one of the first novels where the main character’s maturity genuinely matches his age, and his experiences from his first life carry over.
The novel integrates poetry frequently, often bringing enlightenment to several characters. There’s a lot of discussion about destiny and fate, and it seems the story will delve into philosophical themes.
**Spoiler**
It’s quite open when it comes to sexuality. It’s the third novel I’ve read in this genre that mentions a gay person, and here, there’s actual character interaction involving them. They might play a role in future plot lines, which is surprising and refreshing.
My only issue is that the pacing is a bit fast, but it’s understandable given the type of novel it is. Some tropes are subverted, but they exist for a reason. It’s good, but not a perfect 10/10. I’ll update this review if my thoughts change.
So, praising Japan for this is a misunderstanding, I believe. Lista mentions she prefers selecting individuals from Japan because the country is teeming with otaku, and informing them that they have been summoned to a new world with magic and such isn't a novel concept to them. It's similar to making a non-gamer play a new video game. If you gave your mom an Xbox controller and asked her to play, she would have no clue what to do and it would take time just to get used to the controls. However, if you gave it to a gamer, they would instantly adapt, eliminating the learning curve.
Telling a Japanese otaku that they've been summoned to a new world versus telling a regular person from South Africa is the same idea. While I'm not from South Africa, if I were a betting person, I'd wager that they don't read as many isekai novels as Japanese people do.
It is good enough that the haters still read this even though they criticize the MC action so much
I've read 22 chapters and if I'm going to comment accordingly, it's a really weak and incomplete story.The novel lacked depth and felt like I was reading a 2D story.The background stories of the characters are very weak and the emotions are very lacking.That's all I can say for sure over the course of 22 episodes. I couldn't read any more.The thing I've been paying attention to most recently in novels is to feel the characters very sincerely, but this novel is really lacking in that regard.I think anyone who is objective can understand that the shortcomings I mentioned are not an exaggeration, for at least 22 episodes.
were you too lazy to review it yourself and decided chatgpt was a better option
Hmm, I think so, I'm about halfway through, and all the characters have their personality. The start is a little slow but once more characters start getting introduced it picks up. If you don't like slow starts this is prob not for you but this is in my top 10 so it's decent.
It's truly fantastic! Our protagonist, Kim Jun-ho, possesses the unique ability to regress, but he involuntarily resets when even slightly injured. Despite his incredible regression power, navigating the treacherous Tower requires him to sharpen his skills, strategize, and prevent getting lost amidst numerous regressions.
What I particularly appreciate are the elements that keep it grounded:
1. Jun-ho is intelligent, but not invincible. He combines his regression prowess, understanding of tower-themed narratives, and logical reasoning to uncover the mysteries of each level. If you're familiar with this genre and pay close attention, you can also unravel the secrets.
2. The emotional depth is captivating. Jun-ho's fear stems from the possibility of abandoning his friends by failing floors repeatedly. He grapples with the regressor-depression syndrome and starts viewing his teammates almost like NPCs due to his repetitive knowledge of their actions. His struggle to maintain his identity and the genuine bond between characters is portrayed beautifully.
3. The novel humanizes NPCs, offering a thought-provoking perspective. The goblins and goblin shaman in the tutorial are not just mindless creatures; they exhibit traits of humanity. The second floor's residents and their constrained lives raise ethical questions, challenging not only the NPCs but also the climbers who, like them, might be driven by an indifferent force.
In conclusion, I highly recommend this engaging and well-written novel!
