I read a review talking about how this novel's writing became tr*sh in the later stages. Let me inform all of you that it was always tr*sh.

Let's get my biggest complaint out of the way. Why is there an action tag next to this novel? The writer is incapable of writing action scenes if he does at all. Most of the fights are gone through a time skip. Of bad ass main character of course he'll win. Of course, but no even writing the fight itself is even worst. From... more>> what I've read, only like 50% of the fights were actually played out instead of time skipped. Those 50% were also tr*sh. There is no tension in the fights since the main character somehow memorized everything. I understand he is suppose to be overpowered, but the way it's presented is horrible.

"He stabbed the beast 3 times, then he stabbed it 2 more times and it died"

That is pretty much how our writer played out the fight. It is slightly exaggerated, but I kid you not, the actual fight scenes in the novel aren't that far off. It's really similar. Take out of action tag please.

Second complain are the characters. They're all tr*sh. You know something is wrong with the story if it has to lure you in by starting a character who is obviously a jerk only waiting to die. Additionally, none of the other characters are that interesting. When a female character comes in, the author describe her as "beautiful, stunningly beautiful, one that'll make every man fall in love with her. Moving on." Wow thank you author for perfect portraying her appearance. I think poop is a good object to compare her beauty to because it might as well come how in whatever shape you want. She herself isn't even interesting, for some reason she falls in love with our main character immediately after a 2 day time skip. It was show before said time skip that she was afraid of him, but the next chapter she is in love with him. How? Great question. I don't know. It's a brain dead novel.

Third complaint, time skips. They are everywhere in this novel. When the writer is too lazy to write the actual interesting parts he does a time skip. You are only shown the beginning and the end of the fights that might actually have an appeal. In addition, he does time skips for grinding, which I understand can be boring, but its a great opportunity to develop the world! Hey, our main character may have gotten new stuff, which he does but due to the time skip it doesn't even matter. I feel like I'm reading a study guide where I have to remember this summary about what happened during the time skip. Most of it doesn't matter honestly. Like he got a katana, but hardly ever used it since.

I know it might be early to put down a review, but I've read a lot of novels and only recently started to put up reviews. I know when something is tr*sh.

If the translators of this novel sees this review, please, please, I beg of you, use your talents on something that deserves your talents. Not this tr*sh.

If I could give 0 stars I would, but I have to give it a one because the author put their name on it and wrote words.

At the very least from what I've read, some of the trials are interesting. However there are many other novels that do it much better like "King of the Battlefield" which also has its own flaws. <<less

Honestly I don't remember where I stopped at this novel but I remember I dropped this a bit after the tutorial stage ended. Yes, dropped. This series seemed great at first, it had a lot of character depth, and the MC actually uses his brain, and all psychological descriptions and psychologies seem real, but I notched a major flaw.

The author is desperately trying to show off the main character. I'm pretty sure everytime the MC does something by himself the author gives us a timeskip and skips to a part... more>> where the MC is interacting with people so we can see how he psychologically and sometimes physically dominates them. And I'm not talking about some random off time grinding, for example there was this one fight that the MC has been preparing for from the beginning of his reincarnation (around 1 week). When we reach this point the some stuff happens before the MC gets the chance to fight it alone, and when he does, surprisingly the author gives us a timeskip to the moment after the fight. That's not even the worst one though.

There was also this one event that MC has been preparing since the start too, but it took us around 2 volumes worth of chapters (with each volume being 250 pages each, this is an estimate), oh and almost everything he has been gaining up until now has been for this event. We reach the area he needs to get to to start the event, by himself, and much to our convenience we get a timeskip. I mean I think I can reach 2 conclusions, maybe the author's creativity ran dry, or maybe he doesn't have a chance of showing off the MC at this point. I obvious choose the latter. I mean at least let's see how the event goes down, what happens to the MC I seriously would've loved to know how all the fights went.

Anyways this is just my personal opinion maybe other people here see things differently who knows, but from the reviews I've read they all say that this novel is good so who knows, maybe I'll pick this up at a later time. <<less

i don't know what is up with this novel, but when I started I liked it alot. But then, it just that I don't get attached to the character. He wasn't funny, he was a loner the whole story is evolved around this person. By the time I get to 250 I was skipping chapters (even though I skipped 10 chapter I haven't miss much) I don't even care about that character anymore. I just want to finish it by this point sighhhh

This is super amazing, I don't like Korean novels mostly because they all give MC everything on silver platter without MC working hard for it. I like this one because the MC struggles to save humanity despite being a loner, anti-social and distrustful personality. He has future knowledge of collective humanities effort on how to save them on each level but things go haywire every-time as he keeps changing the future and has to keep improvising.

he goes through different persona's to keep the popular opinion and seen as leader according... more>> to changing mentalities of people on each level.

Spoiler

he just drops the information bombs on all 4 levels when he can no longer continue on level and needs to rest and end up being hated by all for bringing a part of calamity so early due to information being leaked.

In many aspects, the story is alright. The plot especially is full of tension. The characters are quite complex. The setting is vast and varied. However, the story has one issue that buries anything good it has. It tells instead of shows. This is especially apparent with the characters. We are constantly told of what they do, what they feel, what they experience and, even, what they are.

Without any effort in showing things, I, as a reader, feels detached from the story. There is no emotional connections with the characters.... more>> I'm not transported to the fictional world the characters are in. The events feels like thousand of miles away. I just can't get engaged in the story.

Show, don't tell is a writing advice the author desperately needs. <<less

Beautiful plot. Praise the author. The apocalyptic setting is umuah! Beautiful! Especially in the beginning, I can really feel it. It kind of calms down as story progresses but it's understandable because the MC is strong~

Unlike other op characters, this MC really really struggles for this shit. All his experiences and adventures are exhilarating and awesome. His personality is also different from what I thought, he's much more cold hearted, manipulative, and decisive. Although I would love to see his cruel and ruthless side more these days... he had gotten... more>> softer but I like it still. He has virtually no time to think about such things afterall.

This novel has virtually no romance, at all. Don't get your hopes up in the beginning. It's good nonetheless without it.

Also love how things don't always go his way, it just make it more exciting but exhausting.

The author's writing is at least good enough, I think. Translators also doing a good job. Frequent updates banzai!

10/10 would recommend. One of the best imo. <<less

This is one of my favourite stories at the moment. The developement is fast-pace. The MC is decisive and it is a delight to watch how his action impact the world he is in. He is definitely overpowered but I don't see anything wrong with that. My only complaint is waiting for more releases :P.

I highly recommand it.

At first I couldn't really put my finger on why I did not like this novel. I liked the premise and the characters in the story but the wrting style is dissapointing. As JJ's review explains it completly.

As much as I want to enjoy the novel, either the author as some really wierd grammar syntaxing in the novel or something is lost in translation from korean to english.

Starts off good... The world and the story is interesting but method the MC deals with everything is very similar. (up to 109)

It's a fun read as long as you can get through the errors in each chapters. They really need more proof readers or at least a new one.

Edit: (up to 146) The story is too fast. Too many enemies/problem appear one after the other. Certain characters are basically forgotten. Hopefully they will make a re-appearance in the future.

I simply love this novel. The worlds it takes place in is well thought out and very well fleshed out, while being highly original and surprising for the reader. The power system is present, but does not take an as central role as in many other novels of the same genre. The objectives are what drives the story forward, rather than "MC is Lvl 5 now and can beat up everyone time to go to a new place". It's more like MC has something he has to do, and power... more>> is only a means to an end.

One of the things this novel does that I immensely enjoy, but some people don't like, is that it often does time skips past fights. Other novels, like say ATG, would maybe use 5 chapters for a final epic, drawn out and clique fight. Here it simply skips over many of these fights, and we just find MC standing over the dead body of his opponent in next chapter. I'm in love with this way of doing it. In the cases we know that the MC is gonna win, the author simply doesn't draw it out and shows the result. This does not only make the fights that are fully shown even more epic, but it also makes the story flow more smoothly in my opinion.

Lastly I will say that the main character, Hansoo, is everything I wanted from a time travel/reincarnation. He is mentally 76-77 years old, and reflects this by not regressing to an insecure horndog when he reincarnated. He has a no bullsh*t attitude, is completely immune to women not because he is ret*rded but because he simply doesn't care, and is overall the image of a very fed up veteran. I do kinda wonder why the guy with limited social skills and 15 years less time to prepare was the only sensible choice, but that's just me though. Easily 5/5 from me. <<less

This is really good. I was hesitant in reading this because of the flooded market of poor quality time travel novels which involve mmos where the main character is so f**king op that there is no point in any other character to exist, and the character's only defining character trait is being op. While the main character is op he is interesting to read due to his ruthlessness.

This was my initial impression of the story. The author managed to create a pretty good start, but managed to create a lifeless... more>> and stilted w0rld for the op to rampage in. I can't say the novel is worth reading beyond the first few chapters. <<less

This one has the potential to be good. It has a lot of fun elements... but it just fails at execution. Mostly because everyone, EVERYONE, is a mu*derous, secretive sociopath. That's fairly common in Korean stories, but this one takes it up to 11. The actual story's not bad, but the way it's told is kind of infuriating.

The general gist is that a dude goes back in time after humanity is wiped out, knowing a lot about how to stop it. But... the problem is that he's a total a**hole.... more>> He never tells anyone anything, so everyone always assumes the worst. And, being Korean, they're all extremely selfish and power hungry and assume that since he's not with them he's against them and they must obviously kill or ens*ave him because that's just what Koreans naturally do to anyone against them. (I'm basing this on dozens of Korean stories and movies. They seem utterly ruthless to anyone outside of family.) They never seem to take into account the fact that attempting to kill or ens*ave someone is exactly HOW you turn them into an enemy, and if they fail they're screwed.

The back-in-time-with-knowledge part is fairly standard, and told fairly well. The keep-everything-secret and everyone-is-an-enemy part is also fairly standard for Korean stories. The part that infuriates me, beyond mild irritation with the secrecy bit, is that anything really interesting happens off the page! We're told about how the MC has to accomplish something critical, we see him get right to the threshold... and then the next chapter he's accomplished his goal and is bloodied and tired, but it wasn't written down! WTF?! What's the point of that?

Between the "protagonist" being a total dickhead sociopath who's very hard to root for and the climactic battles being yadda-yadda'ed away, there's not a lot of point in reading this. Also, even by chapter 85 it's extremely repetitive. I don't know how it got that way so fast, but it did. The names change, but the same plot has already happened four or five times and I'm already bored of it.

tl;dr: This could have been good. But it's just not. <<less

It's complete peak until the second part. Everything was going great until the second part started. I wanna forget that the second part ever existed...

Anyways, world building is at or above one piece level, that should tell you enough about it for you to read it.

Ending of the first part was one of the greatest highs I had in a while. The twist at the end was just mind blowing.

Read if you want a gritty story wherein the side characters all die at some point except for the most annoying... more>> one. (Mihee should have been killed off in like, chapter 10 imo). <<less

I forgot whether I've read this novel before but as soon as I saw the chapter 1..... I remember what it was. It was one of the most memorable novel settings I read; at least, that's what stick out to me the most..... This one is definitely a MUST read just for the setting alone.

Everything is else (?) Forget it..... I mean as far as character goes, I only remember what they do if that even count as anything. XD

1.5/5

I just can't anymore. It's like the author forgot how conversations go and how a normal person thinks. Ugh.

... more>>
Spoiler

If you are able to shrug off cringing/wincing every 3-4 paragraphs from the messy dialogues and awkward internal monologues then I can recommend this novel. It has pretty good fantasy elements and the plot isn't bad at all. The writing is mediocre but good enough for light novels.

Honestly, it's a good novel but d*mm*t Korean webnovelists need to learn how to write scenes properly. "Tuk Hak Shoosh". What are these awkward sounds. Once or twice in awhile is okay but every single thing that has some sort of movement involve usually means a series of "sound effects" from the author. It's so frustrating to hear.

I had tried reading this back in 2016 but couldnt get past the writing and 4 years later it's still the same thing. And oh boy the MC. Oh geez.

The whole premise of time travel was flawed. To make the novel more spiceful (or desperate) than it should be, the surviving last choose the last or the latest member to be sent!! Wtf! How annoying is that? So everyone else have a 20 year head start but they decided to send the rookie?

... more>>
Spoiler

Also idea that his values for mankind and his reasons or actions was what made him being sent back is completely bullsh*t as later it was revealed that his memories were tempered.

[collapse]

The whole novel after first arc is a - start from bottom rung and ascend due to some hidden skill or legacy- rinse and repeat.
Spoiler

Also the most valuable thing the guy had was knowledge of future (which according to him was what wad valuable) but later gets completely erased cuz the author ran out of plots to deter his OP skills.

[collapse]
Complete utter time waster. I hated the fact that they chose the person to send back in time as the person who would start 20 years later. So all the sh*t the others had done could be undone...

The only positive of the story (that kept me reading) was the history or the context of each zone (esp the green zone. For those stories only is this novel worth anything). 2.5 nothing more for this novel. IMO Master hunter K pulls off this genre and time travel better. In fact it leaves a better taste in your mind than this (minus the extreme gore or human defiling/ bizarre stuff in this novel). And the ending is so rushed and convoluted that it seems the author forgot about a lot of things he thought about the story along the way (sort of like shounen mangas *naruto/bleach*) where all people happen to get along blah blah. <<less

end of v12 writing this (there is 16 vols) . I'm trembling guys, freaking trembling. Cracks appearead on my desk, I got a bit too excited, this in f**ng hot; even if the end isn't the best, I'm gonna give it a 5/5 star. If it's not horrible at least, because just up to now it was damn good.

Advice for those just searching fantasy and 'isekai' kind with a ruthless world and great changes, it's adviced. I like long novels rather than short ones and it's a quite long... more>> one (at least compared to KR novels fntasy).

  • Very important : it has a really too huge world, so at first some can fear the lack of information and so the world building, but it is really not felt, there is many information so I would advice a reading with care, since you may lose important points due to this though there is reminders some times. You can expect a great character growth through the story.
Edit: after the end of the novel, well.. There is certainly a little feel of loss... can't deny it since I personnally greatly expected to read
Spoiler

the abyss world and struggles, well it's expected since the novel would end really soon

Not sure why its good. There is plot armor, annoying (sometimes) timeskips, and yet its so addicting. I think the best part of the story is how the author nails the human pysche. And the MC who long ago gave up on trying to be a hero, and just focuses on saving humanity no matter what is a welcome change from idiotic or insane mcs. He seen it all, and therefore become numb to most of the world. Hope you give this novel a chance :)

So, I am one of the guys who followed Reincarnator for the first 10-279 chapters everyday till the hiatus came near the end of 4th zone. I also agree that the 180-279 chapters were getting really repetitive, and MC was just like a robot, so there we were just skimming the chapters as you didn't really miss much and the exciting moments were pretty much nonexistent due to MC's bland character.

Now that I see the chapters come out again, I have just finished reading all new chapters. I have to... more>> say, I didn't expect an explanation of his character and behaviour by the plot. And since then everything kind of makes sense and the novel gets better again starting around 300 chapter which is rare (usually novels only go downhill..). This was a novel that I have read before Galactic Dark Net or King of Battlefield were picked up by translators, so I have many sentiments for it. What's funny is that after so much time I still remember the key characters like Sangjin and Arthur, because I always had problems remembering the characters in this novel :DD

All in all, this novel is not garbage, I still consider it as one of the best KR novels out there (even after so many more came to light). Give it a try, especially the people who never touched it! <<less
