This is a very good novel with a fresh idea. Immediately after reading the first chapter, you will get hook with the wacky story about a scamer who pretend to be a regressor and try to change the fate of himself and the world.

Many people said that the combat/action of this novel is lacking. It is true but you dont come to this novel for that, the strong side of this is the story, comedy and romance (?). And about the plot armor ... more>>
Spoiler

So what wrong with plot armor, rememer that the original MC supposed to destroy the world anyway even without the strength of Lybra

[collapse]
it just a trivial thing when in every fight, you see that how desperate he fought, not some OP buff shit.

I have been reading the MTL and the quality doesnt drop so expecting the good stuff coming soon. <<less

So far, it doesn't seem like a harem and more like a love triangle, but with there being one very clear victor. It has well-built characters and mixes the action with wholesome moments making it an enjoyable read. The translation is very good, they have special formats for system messages and illustrations on the transalators site so I highly recommend you read from there. The illustrations in special moments really give a huge impact in certain scenes.

Came here from the manhwa. The premise is actually super interesting cause the MC is apparantly the big bad villain in the old timeline but he now ends up becoming the apostle of the Goddess Vega posing as a saviour.

MC is a expert scammer lol 😆

So far I'm enjoying it cause the MC uses his wits to survive and tackle acting as a regressor in front of Vega. Let's see if it continues to be different or will it devolve into the typical kr story plot.

3 stars for the idea

I don't really wish to be nit-picky but this novel had some what of an interesting concept at the beginning but then it all went to waste.

... more>>
Spoiler

After MC became Vega's apostle and gained her power, he gained a lot of power, enough to go against a 3 star at least. That's not the problem. The problem was that after he gained the power, he leveled it up way to fast. Also, since the Black Star whatever is able to absorb memories of skills, he gained the ability to wield the spear (beginning of novel) very well. However, skill does not equal combat experience. Just because you have the ability to wield a spear better than a newbie does not mean you suddenly gain lots of insights to battle.

The second problem was that at first, he was cautious but then he became some what reckless and just charge head first without thinking clearly. Plot armor came and save the day as always and do a lot more than necessary.

i will edit my review as I read more. For now, I am on chp 7

So far it's funny, a bit unique, and interesting.

Though I can feel sister might become a great problem for me, I will just skim through those parts.

I hope he doesn't become a simp suddenly.

love it, the twists and traits of the character and the power scaling is unique and since I like op MC with growth and quick strength gain this novel is perfect for me also I appreciate the accurate hindi phraseology as an indian. For those of you looking for comedy and actual romance with non dense MC pls give it a try!

The novel is well translated and written regressor LN. The MC has a unique character unlike most protagonists with his witting/cunning and almost sinister and cynical character, which I personally enjoy. Although still in it earlier phases of translation, it is worth the read and I am looking forward to future chapters. One side note/ tangent/ interpretation of the author, I would like to point out, is I can't help but think this is a satire of Second Coming of Gluttony. As someone who personally thinks SCOG is one of the best LN's to date, I am not offended and find it quite funny but you just can't help but think the author is taking the mickey of SCOG sometimes.
Spoiler

The novel first starts off with a similar setting, after finishing a devastating war at the cost of most of humanity, the MC (in this case not MC) asks to 'regress' and returns to the past. Yes, this author adds a funny and uncanny twist to it which I like.


Very similar skill system with Gods giving their abilities to people and these awakened have similar 'apostle/disciple/executor' hierarchies.
AND lastly but the most important and obvious one:

Valhalla? Small group of elites? The leader being one of the top 7 'stars'? And to top it off the MC is using them as his personal 'hound'. Come onnnnnn, this was almost a declaration of war to SCOG hahaha, I can't help but laugh.

[collapse]

Anyway, I'm not trying to call out the author for plagiarism or even intentionally trying to mock SCOG. As I said SCOG is probably my favourite LN of all time. I'm not offended and actually enjoy reading I'm not a regressor.

Give it a read it's pretty good so far, good action and comedy regressor LN.

Starts great, an MC that fight with wits and wins in way we can imagine.

Then boom keeps jumping into fights he cannot win without using wits.

Nearly dies, cheat kicks in, wins like it is nothing, every injury gone and hero levels up like mad.

... more>> Harem girls are supposed to be gods/ angels and a girl in the top of the power ranking and supposedly stronger than MC.

Just ornaments no personality at all.

Just like most kr, just jp's with a more moderate and interesting start. Then turns into a powerwank.

Really liked the image of red haired girl too. <<less

First of the start while feeling quite novel is the kind I'm not really a fan at the same time which is the whole trumping up how powerful/dangerous something is and then have the MC just get that something for no real reason.

This is from ch 1 so spoilers on the intro.

Spoiler

After having barely defeated the "demon" the at first glance MC regressor is met up with a goddess and were told that the gods all grant their stigmas to mortals which in turn grants them powers and makes them an awakened. But this particular goddess stigma is so powerful that no one can handle it. Even the demon who has the power to absorb stigmas and was eventually even able to absorb/eat the gods or celestials that were the creators/masters of those stigmas was not even at his peak power able to absorb this goddess stigma because it was too powerful.

Then when our assumed MC regresses he almost manages to take in the goddess stigma only for the demon to turn up infront of him which makes his emtions go out of control and he explodes after loosing control. Then the demon just casually picks up the stigma and absorbs it like almost nothing and were introduced to our MC, the demon.

Still the tone, settings and writing overall are pretty good and especially the beginning part is great and fresh but as some have mentioned it does fall back into the usual tropes and loses most of it's originalty as the story progresses which is kind of hard not to seeing as this is one of the usual korean stories about awakeners and gods/celestials/constellations or whatnot.

The story is still overall a good read I would say and while there are some parts I liked less, as previously mentioned the first part is very good in my opinion especially the first few chapters that sets up the MC as someone who is a successful scammer who's gone all in into making people believe he is an awakener as well. <<less

i think i’m just a who*e for villainous & OP protagonists. It’s not the best novel, but it certainly is entertaining and can be quite funny at times. The MC’s relationship with the FL is soooo cute and I think that overall if u like novels with MCs that aren’t goody two-shoes and also want to read something that is lighthearted and doesn’t take itself too seriously I would totally recommend ^_^ I have a lot of hope for this novel I feel as though as time goes by it’ll... more>> only get better and better !! <<less

don't worry y'all, this story's protag starts off seemingly unredeemable scammy, but follows the standard Korean trope of becoming bearable and a very good character overall as the story goes on. I also like the plot twists that the author throws in, this is a very good and fun novel to read, and the premise of the story is also important to the plot.

What a great start! This novel has such and interesting twist to the normal regression novel starting plots. It totally took me by surprise and gave me a whole new perspective to that genre. I also really like the misunderstandings in this story. They are hilarious and drive the story well. But most of all, I absolutely love this story MC. He reminded me of some other MCs from my fav novels.

Spoiler

He started out looking like a tr*shy yet clever scammer who would do anything for money to survive in a ruin world (of course his ‘cleverness’ is a double-edge knife causing him to lift a stone and hit his own foot multiple times). But then step-by-step, his actions prove otherwise. He’s clever and a scammer, but he is definitely not tr*shy. He works hard day-by-day for years before the story started to support a non-biological sister that used to take care of him and other kids at orphanage. And after awakening, he was constantly putting his life at risk fighting difficult opponents while putting his life on the line strategically to quickly improve and earn lots of money. He also consistently trained from sun rise to sun set days in and out. And while he always has excuses for acting like a hero and saving others, he always takes care of his loved ones and never harm anyone that didn’t show malice towards him or his important people.

The tipping point is when the reason for his obsession with money was revealed. It was quite obvious but still hit like a truck. The story got me hooked by the first few chapters. However, little by little, I fell for this kind of MC and by c40, I was sold. It’s honestly cute to me that throughout the early part of the story, MC kept mentioning how he want a simple relaxing life that he wouldn’t have to worry and just enjoying life, but he put himself through a life of hardship toiling away scamming people much stronger than him in dungeons dangerous to even awakeners as a normal human while taking care of a disabled person. And once the most urgent need is covered, he still continue to work hard (to the point of madness tbh) by ‘sparring’ to death continuously to push his growth.

[collapse]

He’s the type of MC that seems to not only will turn out to be extremely OP but also will definitely develop more depth as the story progress.

Spoiler

No doubt he not only excelled in the previous timeline but will also be celebrated as the hero in this timeline

[collapse]

I have great expectations for this and definitely recommend people reading this gem. <<less
