A Regressor’s Tale of Cultivation

d*mn the Mainlead of this novel is so cringe and pathetic that is sucks. He is the total opposite of Fang Yuan and even more pathetic than early regressions Subaru(no hate to subaru but in the early return to death, he was somewhat pathetic). The novel mainly focus on martial arts instead of cultivation. The chapters are so d*mn long and until I think chaptere 60, he is not even a cultivator but instead trying to reach the peak of martial arts so that he can become powerful enough to start cultivating. Idk how is he even a cultivator. Korean author just can't write a good mainlead(except Kim Dokja) and a ruthless mc. Idk why is a Korean author even trying to write a cultivation novel when he can't make mc cold and smart(mc is that one dumb person you find in McDonald's). Overall rating 2.5/10 from me and that only because it is a cultivation novel and therefore has some potential. 

The urge to drop it down to 4.9 is looking me in the eye but I must resist. Anyways, I really love the cultivation, the world, building, characters like Kim young hoon and seo hweol all of them except the female ones (the author struggles in writing them alot but they are not really terrible, but compared to the male characters, they are definitely lacking substance, although best girl Gyu Ryeon is an exception she can step on me anytime). I also love the abilities especially heart path, the heaven collapsing esteemed ones signature move is badass but one thing which I hate is the mc's morality as it's annoying asf so much that I will drop a star cuz of it but besides that the mc is pretty well written. So overall you should give a chance and keep in mind not to be scared by the chapter length, you must perservere for at least 36 chapters as it gets really good after that and contain less info dump.

You clap for Peak Fiction.

You Kneel before Pick Fiction.

Do you see it, oh heavens?

This lowly being.

Has witnessed pure peak…

Okay so fr tho, this novel is just unbelievably well crafted. The tragedy of the time loop and at the same time, the MC utilizing this unlimited time to try over and over to accomplish his goals even with his poor talent is just amazing to read. For the record, some people are turned off because the MC is VERY good - as in he will not do anything he considers evil no matter what, which compared to some other cultivation novels (cough cough RI) is jarring to readers. But I think the story is powerful either way, and if you don't read it just because of that, you're lame.

Let me be honest with you, this was very good in the beginning but after he ascended to next realm(or planet?) I did not like it that much, I am currently at the end of arc where mc acts like he works for seo Hweol .i will continue reading it and change the rating if it gets better.

It's just so peak. I love that the MC is quite human through the book even once he reaches immortality, 10/10 worldbuilding, it has insane foreshadowing(the sun and the moon if yk what im saying), for me it is in my top 5/6 novels Ive read so far

It's just peak, Seo is the goat, side characters are fleshed out really well, the emotional scenes hit like a d*mn truck, this is one of the best webnovels out there, and I really need to get back to it soon.

Just peak 🔥, power system 10/10 like it has both martial arts cultivation, it doesn't even lose to a Physiological novel, mc has a peak mentality, and time to time references from Buddhism is just awesome, naming sense is also good

I enjoy this novel I keep 5 star rating so no one gets mad. Only bad part is mc has too much special moves and it's hard to remember and there's many books or cultivation that his Kim Young-hoon left behind but I hope MC becomes most op and I like the regressions, him and Young-hoon getting stronger and im on chapter 35 but I hate the other workers they got a free start to cultivation and becoming op while Seo-Eun-Hyun and Kim Young-hoon have to work so hard for there power. The story doesn't hold back it's beautiful, they learn and grow and it can be dark when mc teaches the kids he beheaded in his last life and he regressed for the sixth time he remembers them but says he can't teach them again which made me feel a bit sad but I love the story can't wait to see it get a manhwa a top tier webnovel that I've read.

This novel is truly one of the greatest of all time - on par with Shadow Slave, Reverend Insanity, and Lord of the Mysteries.

What sets it apart is not just its compelling plot, but the profound philosophy woven into the story and the actions of Seo Eun-hyun. You can genuinely feel the author's passion in every word - from the intricately crafted side characters to the vivid worldbuilding.

If you're just starting out with web novels, this one is a must-read, right alongside the titles mentioned above.

Another remarkable aspect: while it may not have as many chapters as some other series, it certainly doesn’t feel any shorter. Each chapter is rich, detailed, and impressively long - making the reading experience just as satisfying.
