Peak fiction that brought me into reading web novels, if you aren't reading this.. What are you doing, quit reading this review and begin absolute cinema.

holy peak. this is truly, an enlightening story about a man's hardships in the face of a near impossible task. One of the best infinite regression stories i've seen. starts off pretty slow, crazy timeskips occur, but the GOAT just keeps on going..

As long as you don't come in expecting a RI, SS, or LoTM you will not be disappointed. This is one of the best extra novels I have read, the plot twists go absolutely wild, try your best to give it till the end of novel one before you drop.

reminds me of entrails new book, horror game dev. Unlike that one though, the mc is isn't a traumatizing 'coward, but a selfless coward. This novel is great, fun read, lots of unique concepts are portrayed great.

This novel truly embodies the term masterpiece, it's so PEAK. It starts off somewhat slow, but picks up a lot by the end of volume 1. The endings of this novel are consistently amazing, what else can i say, but this is truly a lord of the mysteries.

Praise the Fool.

Forced myself to read 500 chapters of this. It's not too bad, but certainly isn't the best either. Both the mc and the writing seem robotic at times, even though they try explain it off with his emotions being duller or whatever. The academy arc was the most meaningless arc i've ever read; all the mc did was win the ranking that had no effect on the rest of the academy arc, one main mission and it was over. Next off, power scaling. So, your telling me that Neo lived for over ~500 yrs longer than all the other characters, and it's mentioned that Morrigan was STILL somewhat able to keep up with him, maybe it was just his clone or whatever, still doesn't make sense as he was a heavenbreaker.  Relationships in this novel feels off, the engagement with Moriggan is definitely forced, your telling me all that talent, and they still gave up on her, either the zeus clan is extremely retarded, or i'm missing something. The mc has blatant plot armor, and never really is in danger. There's always the constant revives being replenished, and there's even a regression function cause ofc the mc needs to be able to turn back time as well. The mc was technically turnt blind for a bit, which was convienetly forgotten, with the excuse of his senses being enough. There are some parts of this novel which i enjoyed, but i had to slug through chapters of meaningless slop and filler to get through to it. Give this a try, maybe you'll like it better than i do, but don't try slug through under the hope that it gets consistent and better; it hasn't 500 chapters in.

This is a really good novel, i'd recommend atleast giving it a try, the first few chapters may be a bit shaky and have infodumps, but after that it's pretty smooth, with some great twists. Rating this lower than a 5 as the ending was rushed and everything felt somewhat forced.

so fire, love tis' novel, fun read, would reccomend, it's great although be warned, if you read this book as a starter novel, you will find yourself comparing other novels to this, and inevitably bring dissapointed (unless it's a masterpiece like LoTM)

This novel is worth a read.

Theres plenty of things I like and don't like about the novel, so let's start with the good parts first.

Rating might be slightly biased cause i can't completely hate a time loop novel, it being one of my favorite genres, and it's pretty well portrayed, with a somewhat unique leveling system.

Another thing that I enjoyed, is the mc actually being able to use his brain to his advantage, making use of this professional bs spouting skills that comes with the protagonist package. Although, this is both a good and a bad thing which i'll cover soon.

The novel is full of mind games, especially at the beginning, so if you like those, you'll enjoy the novel. With those mind games, comes a lot of thinking, and overthinking things. 

The power system is pretty straight forward, ranks go from D (genin lvl strength) to S (kage lvl strength) there could be more to it, but we haven't found out about it yet. System doesn't interact, only exists as a progress tracker and creates missions with rewards that increase depending on the difficulty.

Now on to things I don't like about this novel.

First off, grammatical errors are my kryptonite, if you can tolerate those, this novel will be significantly better for you. Just a warning though, the writing in this novel is bad at worst, mediocre at best. Being completely honest, i wanted to drop this novel at times, but it gets better after chapter 20 or so.

This is especially prominent during early chapters, but a high percentage of the chapters are filled with the mcs thoughts, and his plans, which can be annoying at times.

Now onto the characters. Characters are. annoyingly one dimensional, and are dumbed down for the sake of the mc being the most intelligent, even though mc is out there 'glazing' the nara clan, when even they are dumbed down for the sake of the mc.

Finally, and perhaps most importantly, we have the mc. Mc is annoying to read about, especially when he starts 'acting.' Kazuo, our mc has no friends, and for a reason. Even when he's acting with high charisma stats, he still manages to make people uncomfortable how fake he is. Every interaction with another character feels somewhat forced, with the mc being cringey and edgy as 'a result of the looping'. The mc is difficult to like, or even route for with how insufferable he is at moments, not what I would want from a protagonist. There are moments, however, that I enjoy reading about the protagonist.

reaching 2.5k characters so I guess i'll add a tldr, too lazy to write more.

TLDR; this novel is pretty decent, would reccomend, but only if you have a certain tolerance for poison.
