In a past life, Cha Jin-Hyeok reigned as the Sword King of Korea. He lived for the adrenaline of conquering perilous Dungeons and vanquishing deadly monsters. Yet, when the curse of the Empress of Hell flung him back in time, he vowed to turn over a new leaf. No longer consumed by an insatiable hunger for power, he dreamt of a simple life—owning a building in Yeonhui-dong and cherishing time with his family. To make that dream a reality, he chose the life of a Streamer, a role far safer than his previous incarnation as a top-ranked Swordsman.

Streaming his adventures, Jin-Hyeok guided his party through monster-infested labyrinths and formidable Dungeons. Along the way, he encountered friends and adversaries from his previous life. Though he aimed to keep a low profile, the old habits of a one-time Sword King proved difficult to shake off.

This isn’t your typical regression tale. Instead, it chronicles the struggle of a man who was once Korea’s mightiest Player as he attempts, and occasionally fails, to embrace mediocrity. Seamlessly interweaving modern social media culture, it captures the intimate dynamic between Streamers and their audiences. The story is very fast-paced and filled with action-packed battle scenes. If you love ominous Dungeons, self-contemplation, and internet memes, this novel is just for you!

Well, first of all, this novel isn't for everyone. The title doesn't do the story justice because the MC keeps saying he doesn't want to get stronger, but then he acts the complete opposite, and this just keeps happening chapter after chapter, even into the hundreds. It gets tiring real fast for other readers I'd reckon.

On top of that, he always gets what he wants. Plot armor? Check. Dumb luck? 101%. MC perks? All of it handed to him on a silver diamond platter.

But for me, as long as there's... more>> no romance or harem in an action/fantasy novel, I can deal with it. It's bearable. I'd even say this one technically has no romance, at all, and the MC is a total lone wolf. When you read it, there's barely any harem vibes at first because the guy's like the ultimate anti-romance dude.....

UNTIL

..... female characters keep showing up one after another, and what really pissed me off is how they all start catching feelings for him. Like, f* off goddammit, get out. That's why I stopped at chapter 166 😌

Honestly, it's a shame, because the plot itself was solid to me, but those subtle harem elements totally killed the fun 😮‍💨

P/S: I added the 'Harem' tag myself since IT WASN'T THERE BEFORE! and also the 'Mature' tag, dude is a lunatic 💀 <<less
