Jin Soram, the top-ranked hunter representing South Korea’s Rift Phenomenon Management Headquarters, is stronger than anyone else and lazier than anyone else. As soon as he arrives at the office, he buries himself under a blanket and falls asleep. When he goes out on a mission, he causes accidents and returns to the office, often shirking his duties.

“Do you know how it feels to play a game that’s already messed up? …Anyway, the next round will come, so this time, I’m just going to play it recklessly.”

In fact, his true identity is someone who has regressed through three lives, trying to save the world from the Great Rift but failing each time. After repeating a life where he couldn’t sleep peacefully even for a day, he became completely exhausted before this life even began.

“I know. You worked hard, Jin Soram.”

And then there’s Han Tae-un, the man who saved Soram and died in all three previous lives. As he did in every life, he comes to Soram’s side once again. The Great Rift is approaching soon. It’s impossible to resolve it in this life without any preparation. Soram vows to save Tae-un in this life and die himself. At least, he won’t let Tae-un save a failure like himself again.

“For now, until then, let’s sleep…”

As Soram sluggishly lives his life waiting for that moment, a gradual change occurs in his heart.

‘I thought this was a messed-up round… but I want to live a little longer here.’

This is the best "Hunter theme" BL novel! FYI it's not esper-guide, but only hunter.

MC & ML are very smart, strong, capable, they both are good guys. ML actually has crush on MC from when he saw MC on tv. ML awakening trigger was "he wanted to be like MC".

Big Spoiler if you reach chapter where you think the timeline is confusing

... more>>
Spoiler

So, MC narrative is he lived 3 lives where 1st life he was taken advantage of, 2nd & 3rd life ML died to saved him. Now MC living 4th life.

Ad you're confused why MC & ML are now high schoolers again? Continue reading if you want spoilers.

Spoiler

MC actually living his 21st life. He lived 19th lives already. What you're reading now is his 20th life where MC is very tired and depressed. He decided to meet ML at his high school. ML was MC fans, but he doubt MC who in front of him is actually "the hunter he idolize". ML thought he just some runaway kid trying to scam him, but he has 100℅ resemblance with his idol. ML took MC home. They are friends. The center found MC and forced him to go back to seoul. ML sad that he is separated from MC. His longing for MC made him awaken sooner. I think around 3 years. It should be 5 years later.

Because ML awaken sooner, the calamity also came faster. So here's the concept, MC is literally the main character of this world. The way he was belittled and suddenly awakened as very strong hunter, made a lot of people put their pray and hope in MC. To balance out, if there's someone strong, then there's also strong evil. The calamity is actually also crystallize of pray from people who wish the world to be burned. The stronger MC, the stronger the calamity.

MC always failed to defeat the last calamity. He kept regressing because he never been able to defeat it. It was like, when the world ends, people pray made MC regressing. The cycle repeat. The problem is, MC is too tired and depressed for repeating lives. And how the calamity is much much stronger. While MC also getting strong, other hunters stay the same. Which is very imbalanced.

ML power, aside from him can fly. Always changing. He is the only person who kept changing power every time MC regress.

Ok in this 20th life, MC & ML finally dating, but MC was very pessimistic and he told ML about his regressing. ML use his power to erase MC memories, made him only choose 3 lives which will help MC defeat the calamity. They both died again

MC & ML are now in 21st life. They both forgot their 20th life where they were also a couple. The reason why ML erase MC memories is for reducing the difficulty of the calamity. If MC only remember 3 lives, then the calamity difficulty only at level 4, which is still balance with current hunters strength.

Btw, the calamity which taken shaped of large animals, are taken from MC fear (phobia) of large animals like cow and farm animals.

All and all. I just wanna say. Both of them are in loving & respectful relationship with each other. Happy ending. And they both are just soooo cute. Like cute. Ahhh <<less

OH MY GOD. A MASTERPIECE. I ALWAYS REREAD CHAPTER 150 UNTIL 20TH REGRESSION TILL THE END, perfect.

Okay now starting to the real review.

MC, Jin Soram is Class 1 Hunter and a tired regressor who find everything he does is useless, or we can call it Regressor Depression. ML, Han Taeun is a Class 1 Hunter who always dead in front of Soram to rescuing him.

This is a story about finding a reason to life thoroughly, not only breath-eat-sleep life.

Soram who tired repeating a lot of tragedy start lazing off in his 4th regression. Not only lazy, he also rude to almost everyone, except the head director, a person he considered a father figure. He always sleep, only waken up when get called to close the gate or dungeon.

Even tho he's lazing off and rude, he's still kind, so, many people likes him in this life. There's so many first experience in this life, just like a sweet dream. But when he's died, people will reset and he'll have no choice but keep this memories alone. He didn't want that. So he planned to keep this memories as a sweet dream and trying to end himself before this life become nightmare.

But he cannot bring to do that, Taeun, who apparently confessed his love to Soram, always give a reason for Soram to not giving up.

This story is kind of slow burn in the start but not really after some chapters. The smut is chef kiss. You'll find a lot in the side stories (there's 5 arc with 10 chapter per arc is ss). There's a lot of emotional scene so please prepare for some angst.

It has happy ending, they married in the side story.

deeply frustrating read, it started off strong and then the romance just took both the characters to a nosedive for me, the dynamic between MC and ML is so... it’s subtle, but just general disregard for mc’s autonomy / authority if that makes sense... like force feeding MC when he repeatedly says no, and other small stuff like that that kept happening back to back with NO reprieve from the second hand embarrassment and frustration!!! it’s like the typical male lead is superior to MC (guy or girl) and you... more>> HAVE to know it, but awww they’re meant to be together so it’s actually supposed to be cutteeee!!!!!

hot take, but when the mc’s pride is constantly being wounded/poked at despite being ml’s superior / a grade 1 hunter, it gets very irritating no matter the romance underlying it... like me personally I would not take that much disrespect and disregard from a subordinate, no matter how hot they are... and tbf MC isn’t an angel either, it’s understandable considering his regression situation but damn is he childish asf !! i’m definitely misinterpreting these characters and willfully ignoring any deeper character traits they have, i’m too irritated to care though !! I wanted to enjoy it but ugh, I got too mad to even get past that prison scene... and ML isn’t even that charming either... godbless the folks that like this story, i’m sure if I put my own pride aside i’d enjoy it too, but if you’re someone who can’t tolerate that flavor of disrespect and disregard (subtle or not), i’d say skip this. <<less

Tbh the criticisms of the other reviews are valid. I've probably been brainwashed by too many Hollywood movies, since I can see that this world isnt that far-fetched: it's often that you see the government will both revere the powerful while also protecting against them and limiting them for control. It's like X-Men. Ppl will criticize the powerful like in the incredibles. The world building is not that crazy but the netizens are indeed so annoying. I know social media is a part of our society now and it would... more>> seem unrealistic not to have it, but a couple lines is okay. any more than that is just unnecessary imo.

I really like a salted fish protagonist and I do like that the MC gets kept in check because I'm kind of sick of KN novels that pretty much blow rainbow farts to the sky with their protagonists. I think the details in the novel are quite descriptive/new and the writing is creative. The translation seem good too. (Personally still can't support making money by keeping chapters under paywall. It does help that they upload daily, I think tips are fine, but other than that paywalls feel immoral besides it already being illegal). The perspective of this being the fourth time he's living through this life and that he has to continually save the world is very interesting. I really enjoy the tension from the pressure of saving the world - that's well written. The adventure and action is at the forefront for me and the Romance is not bad but to be considered.

My only gripe so far truly is that why is there there a variety show in my action, Adventure, romance novel??? Can I not escape this? Is it impossible to escape if it's written in modern day? I swear, if this author did it for the netizens' input on their romance, I'm gonna puke. I don't need the netizens to fangirl BC IM THE READER I CAN FANGIRL BY MYSELF!! ok well anyways still reading. Hopefully the variety show doesn't ruin it. I'll let u know... <<less

This novel has almost all the tropes that I like: regression, dungeons, hunters, ML with personality and appearance resembling a bear... So I'm super biased

Nonetheless so far so good, all the other characters are likeable and have their own complexity so they don't feel like fillers or characters that are used for the couple to communicate or develop their relationship. The slow burn is nice paced, and considering that the MC has regressed already 3 times before I can empathize with trying to maintain his distance TT

There are little hints... more>> of something deeper going on with the memories of our MC and ML so I'm curious how this life will turn out. A little part of me wants the MC to die again without the ML losing his memories, but at the same time my heart aches when he has those depression episodes not wanting to die in this life. I have contradictory feelings regarding that, I just want them to be happy T^T

Anyways, it's a good read <<less

The society and social structures in this one are wild. Tier 1 awakeners are literally national treasures who have all the responsibilities while only being 31 in number. Yet somehow they get treated like garbage. In a conflict between MC and a random logistics person who was abusing their position, MC somehow gets sentenced to literal torture for 2 weeks while the other person has basically no injuries, only gets fired and is still thinking about suing??

They have responsibilities as celebrities as well as having to constantly put their normal lives on hold to solve rifts?? They have to participate personally in PR matches and live streaming??? Whats the point, its a literal apocalypse situation if these people aren't strong enough.

The higher ups seem to hold 0 regard for the mental wellbeing of their tier 1s even though they re the only defense against the literal end of the world.

  1. I cant stand this worldbuilding and plotline, 2/5.

The relationship between MC and ML is fine, 3.7/5

Personally, this novel is a gem for me & it is going to stay in my heart forever.

Jin Soram's depression and his mental fatigue is very relatable to me. This is exactly how I feel currently (since I am suffering from depression) . His personality which he presets to others is really cheerful and sunny, but, his innerworld is dark and suffocating, and no one close to him catches any clue about his mental condition (well not until he gets together with Tae-un ofc). While reading I felt all the... more>> pain he was going through, how he tries his best to be carefree and jovial in the outside world, all the while struggling with all the trauma of his past lives in his inner world.

His character is really well written. Though he is the strongest in the whole country in terms of strength, his soul and mind has been wrecked by all the suffering he had to go through in his past lives. His soul is broken and ripped at every corner, but still he is a masterpiece (for me at least).

With the help of Tae-un and his loved one's, he is able to heal eventually (though slowly and gradually). At the end, the story is wrapped beautifully without leaving any loose ends and every question that we as readers had throughout the story is answered. Every piece of the puzzle falls beautifully into its place and gives us the complete picture of what was happening throughout the novel. (And it left me completely touched and cathartic.)

At the starting, the pacing might feel a little slow and you might even feel the story is going nowhere but the plot gradually builds up, becomes engaging and finally leads us to a breathtaking finale.

The Romance:-

Since the novel has a concept of soulmates (which will be revealed later on) , so there is no toxic or angsty romantic storyline between the leads.

This novel is definitely recommended to those who enjoy gradual plot build up and like to slowly connect to the characters while proceeding through the storyline.

If you enjoy the concept of soulmates/made for each other, mutual healing, mutual respect and communication between couples, then consider giving this novel a try because this couple has successfully made a lasting impact in my heart :) <<less

It was fine.

Like 6, 5/10.

Honestly I was 100% into it until ~chapter 160 ... more>>
Spoiler

where it's revealed he did not just dies 3 times before, but at least 20 times.

I think it's just impossible for anyone to have a realistic strong mentality for 20 times.

[collapse]

Also, I didn't like the end :
Spoiler

from the start he seems to be the strongest, but finally nothing shows it. I'm a superficial reader, but I like when a strong MC is showered in power and popularity (ref -> Solo Leveling). And thus I don't really like the end to be like "with the power of love we can conquear your fear and hop all is good and the 4th Rift end". I mean must they (the MC and the ML) always be together to attack ? Can't they altern and have their own victories ?

I mean yes the ML is strong. But who is it that endured 20 past lifes ?! The MC. So why can't it be just him that make the final attack and understands everything ???

It's at a point where, apart for the readers to feel pity towards him, finally the fact he has lived 20 times seems useless.

I also don't like the fact that they just winned over the strongest rift but people still criticizes them a lot or say it was easy. I mean aren't they afraid of the strongest 1st grade hunters ? Aren't they grateful ?

[collapse]

And there was also a change of personnality I didn't like.
Spoiler

Until Busan it was fine but after that it seemed that the funny and careless MC completely changed and while I found him complex because tortured but charming and funny at the same times, after that he just became gloomy and did not really talk to other character's at all besides the ML.

[collapse]

For me, the world wasn't developped enough.

We know they win a lot of money but we don't even see how they spend it or their position in the world as top hunters.

Spoiler

They lived from the start to the end in a little appartment for example. And even at the end, Han still hasn't enough to buy a good house ??

[collapse]

We know they are differents from other hunters around the world but we aren't show any other hunters from other countries.

There is a romance but from the moment they confess the alchemy between them disappear progressivly.
Spoiler

And until the end they just go on one or two pitiful dates and never show it publicly, I mean it's like they only do s*x honestly. Please do some activities !

[collapse]

But still everything seems to be only about the romance, about them wanting to livewell after everything is finished and I felt like the trainings, the relationship with other characters (apart from Ayoung), the fact their powers progress, all of that is too fast and could have been way better.

I'm picky yes because I still read it with happiness (until the end, then I was a little angry), but gosh I wanted not only romance and despair, but also cool fights, developped relationships, world development etc.

P.S : the side stories were honestly so long and so boring.
Spoiler

And the way they announced their relationships and wedding was soooo bad 😭. There was 0 feeling.

Sorry for the grammatical mistakes, english isn't my primary langage. <<less

Excellent. MC is a 3-time regressor who has regressed every time Korea is destroyed and his colleague sacrifices his life to save him. They weren't even close and he's even tried making their relationship bad, so he doesn't know why his colleague keeps saving him. MC is tired and wants to be a salted fish. In this life, he won't be bothered to push away the ML for his own good. I like the worldbuilding in this one and the unique powers they have. ML is blunt and somewhat cold,... more>> whereas MC seems cheerful, lazy, and reckless but is actually pretty traumatized from his past experiences. <<less

This seems to be a either you like it or you hate it kinda novel. Personally, if I could wipe my memory and read it again I would.

The overarching theme of the main characters exhaustion and depression really spoke to me. Some of the later chapters honestly made me cry, this is a MC I truly get.

All the other reviews give pretty good breakdowns, both good and bad, so flip through those too. As I said, it's either one you love or hate.

I dropped it after they got together. It's fine, I wouldn't recommend it though.

The MC isn't my style... Sorry. The relationship isn't my style either. It feels a bit burdening on the ML.

At some point ML said, "Is that something you should be saying to someone who's in a one-sided love with you, enduring the fact that you're a man, a superior, the most famous hunter in this country, and keeping you as a s*x partner?"

That about sums up about most of the novel. Honestly, it burned me out, they... more>> finally got together, it's still terrible, so peace, I'm out. <<less

I quite like the story. It's interesting to see a seemingly lazy MC, rude as f*ck but always toying with the line while also respecting or protecting the people he cherishes.

The ML is really nice. While you may think of him as stoic or without emotions at first, you quickly realise that he feels quite deeply, ... more>>
Spoiler

and cherished MC a lot.

[collapse]

The translation is also good so don't worry about that part.

Though, there are 2/3 things that I didn't like. For example,
Spoiler

how even though the MC is supposedly OP at the end when he gained the experience of 20 lives but he, in the end, never shows it

(there are circumstances for why he is disadvanged like loss of control due to too much power or dungeons designed specifically to weaken him but still)

which is why I feel a bit cheated

[collapse]

Also the fact that
Spoiler

the MC doesn't worry about the appearance of a 5th or 6th great rift (it is mentionned briefly but I feel like it was resolved/dismissed too quickly) because what if the same thing

(either a 1st grade that is powerful enough and desperate enough to wish misery on earth, or the wishes of the people to save or destroy the world are once again directed at the MC)

happens again? The MC worried about the future during all of the story either coping with sleeping or s*x and now suddenly there is love and all is good? Meh.

[collapse]

And honestly I would have like a little more romantic interaction betwen MC and ML : either their talks were usually in sad/tragic situations where
Spoiler

MC is in breakdown mode or ML with his unrequited love at the beginning

[collapse]
or it directly turns into scenes of s*x. We don't have that much in between like fluff or a bit of flirt or even a date. Like give me anything but at least something!! <<less

I really liked this novel! I wasn't too sure after reading some of the reviews but I would say that you need to read it until the end. There is a point in the story that goes back to one of his past lives later on in the book and it is really emotional.

The MC made me laugh a lot and I like their relationship as well. Great translation!

Reading this and I would say I liked it.

The characters and our MC and his monologue type. The difference he found compared to his previous ones. Where he worked hard and achieved it but the loss he suffered but now where he genuinely feels alive.

In all korean type novel I read what I found is, the people mostly tend to speak and look down on those who protect them, taking them as if it was rightfully their duty to protect them but then flood them with endless critisim and hatred... more>> or whatever. Some do genuinely admire them.

Just that I do wonder why do they do that to their guardians. Literally sacrificing themselves to protect their country but some unthankful ones seems to take it for granted...

Well wat am I even saying here.. Ha! Lets just see the good picture of our heroes that still have the justice mind to protect their country not based on a fraction of the people opinion. <<less

Very childish MC despite going through 3 lives but it seems more like a coping mechanism than his actual character. And the ML... he's the stubborn, insistent type that thinks everything he does is fine because it's got good intent behind it.

It's also odd how everyone is shitting on the MC like he hasn't been No.1 for years— like yes, he's childish but they literally also admit that he's their hero.

5/10 Just read it if you're bored ig
