When I saw the title, I skipped it first with the thought: 'not one of those that add SSS and sui*cide in the title to attract readers but have no substance...'

... That was until I was bored one day and decided to give it a chance!

I regret not reading it earlier. It is in the top 5 shounen Korean novel I have read so far.

The characters have depth. The actions and emotions of the MC are explained well enough to understand him but not overly to get fed up and... more>> skim through it.

The story introduce a novel idea about the tower where people are the ones who decides to enter or not but could not leave afterward if they enter it. But this is not the main point of the story

MC enters the tower and it takes him a long time to awaken (10+ years). When he does, he gets the ability to copy a skill of the one that kills him... the problem is that his ability does not revive him.

Spoiler

But what if his mu*derer had a skill to revive 24h before his death? And what if he was previously a fan of his mu*derer but saw his true evil face just before dying? His former hero could have saved so many people with this skill but chose not to

MC decides to return to the past and change the course of history to save as many people as possible and clear the tower perfectly with the copied skill. The way to return to the past was simple, kill himself 4000 times to the time before his mu*derer awakened

[collapse]

In his journey afterward, he clear the tower floors, unify people, get friends, fall in love and fulfill wishes

update after finishing the story: the feeling after reading until the end was how the story show us that the ending is not as important as the road itself. If I could, I would give it more than 5 stars <<less

Tbh I don't really know what to think about this.

I don't think it's bad... Well, the beginning is rough but it does have good points. I read around 60 chapters and I just... stopped. No specific reason. I just felt bored overall from the novel and couldn't be bothered to read anymore, telling myself each day "I'll just read it another day". But one week later, I kinda had to just accept - yeah, I'm dropping it lol.

Characters are fairly interesting but fairly flat too.

Story is yet another "Let's climb... more>> the tower" (to keep it simple and fairly spoiler-free). I dunno why Korean are so obsessed by this stereotype but I can't say I ever liked it. Maybe I would have liked it more if I read it 5 years ago when I wasn't so fed up with this specific subgenre.

Cheats are too cheaty. Even the "penalty" is like an extra reward...

But overall dunno. Nothing grabs me. It's not bad, but not entertaining either. Thus, 3/5. <<less

If I had to describe this story in two words, it would be "Beautiful Insanity."

Honestly this isn't the type of story I would usually like. Stories with the phycological tag usually make my head hurt trying to follow twisted logic and normally those stories are to dark for me to enjoy, however, the author executed this story absolutely perfectly. Even when it is twisted the logic can be understood and even the darker topics are written in a way that it can bring me to tears without rending my heart.

tower masters trauma arc trying to take everyone's sin and making it her own responsibility and the sins that she herself accumulated seemed contrived and unpleasant. As a Christian I could only see it as a failed attempt at someone trying to play God.

My main gripe with this novel, aside from other things like self-righteous protagonist, towerclimbingformula99, lack of tension as death doesn't exist, usage of time travel without any consequences, negative iq characters that only serve to make our single digited iq protagonist look smarter, is something of a personal nature. It happened in the Murim arc, which made me personally abhor, detest, this novel. These are strong words, but I truly hate this novel with a passion. This is an edited review, my previous one was far more passionate in showing... more>> my hatred. But I'm going to now talk about the part of this novel that made me hate it so much.

Spoiler

It happened during the Murim world arc. Our self-righteous, kind, empathetic protagonist decides to 'experience' other people's pain. The author probably thought he did a good thing by adding something like that into the novel, but I personally detest it. It's like watching a person from first world country, a person who never had to experience any difficulties in life, e.g. risk of hunger, clothes, spend 100k usd behind a VR headset to 'experience' how starvation feels like just so that they could brag later about how they 'know' the pain of hunger. Risk of starvation is always there, in this sh!thole I live in. So seeing some author trying to use this to...... make us feel bad for the protagonist feels nauseating to me. Perhaps that wasn't the author's intention, but that is how it appeared to me.

[collapse]

Aside from it having not anything really remarkable about it, being cut out of the same cloth as most other towerclimbing novels, what happened in the Murim arc just ruined any remote feeling of enjoyment I might have derived from this novel.

Wait a sec. Damn. Someone made a review in honor of my previous juvenile, emotional, review? I'm honoured. My guy really loves this novel alright. Hahaha.

Edited: X/X/2024.

Probably no one's gonna see this but lmao. I honestly feel like wholeheartedly thanking the guy who wrote a response to my review. Damn, I haven't laughed like this in some times. <<less

the story is great from start to finish. Let me explain-:

Summary- the MC is killed by his idol (no.1 ranker) because he was at the wrong place at the wrong time and gets his (the no.1 ranker's) skill which leads to him going back 24 hrs before his death he realizes to have a chance at killing the guy he needs to go 11 years back when the guy didn't have the skill.

MC- the MC at first is established as a jealous man (I mean to be fair who... more>> wouldn't jealous of the no.1 ranker) and he wants to prove his capabilities to the people in power, he is very weak to appreciation (thinking anyone who gives him complements is an angel or a goddess). What I love the most about him is that he isn't indifferent-he cares for humans (sentient creatures) and is willing to die for them. He is cunning and would rather kill himself than not get what he wants. He wants the 'true end' for any situation where the characters get their just ends, for example
Spoiler

in the heavenly demon arc he made sure to give the 'characters' hope by giving them disciples and giving them the death they hoped for-dying gun blazing or in this case

in a war of good and evil

[collapse]

story- the plot is more emotional than about winning and losing as we already know the MC is going to win because of his skill. It has from fighting to adventure to love to solving emotional damage all the while being a comedy (in a good sense) and I freaking love the way they described everything in this novel. This novel has many arcs I mainly talk about the romance arc as it is the most memorable one in my experience

sword emperor- or the teacher/brother/friend/father figure (pfft-). He is one of the best side characters a story could wish for.

shiny the sword- no paragraph I just love her

FL- she is a sociopath who wanted to make the MC her minion and when that failed she started seeing him as a human but just like the many other characters (looking at u Preta) she also gets character development and later becomes a much more likable character. Personality-wise she is a self-reliant person to the extreme and has few friends-no scratch that she has no friends. She has a skill (?) that lets her go 10 days back from the end of her world. (Her world's genre is romance and high school but it has its fair share of dark stuff). I want to write more about her but I really am too tired.

Romance- 'Love is a b*tch' that was the first thing the FL taught the MC when he requested her to teach him how to love and if u want a summary of their love this is it. The romance at best can be called very fast-paced (but at least it ain't a harem) but would I say it makes the story bad? No, not at all the author somehow makes it completely in the character of the main leads, and until it is over u won't even realize that it was fast-paced, though I have some regrets, it isn't a bad love story. And I absolutely love the way they (MC and FL) fell and stayed in love and it also has plot importance, also I love their dynamic.

Side characters- As I have said before what I loved about the side characters was that in the story they mattered, they weren't treated like dirt or like objects that the MC tramped to with no mercy. Be it the witch or the swordmaster or the alchemist or the crusader all of them were certain pieces without which the story would feel empty. If I made a paragraph dedicated to every single one of them it would make this already long review about 3times longer so I won't do that. But know that all of them are a blast to read.

how to have optimal reading experience- u can have the best experience by keeping these points in your head-:

    1. this is a STORY- it would have plot holes it is not perfect.
    1. the MC is more of a positive force than a negative force despite his self-harming tendencies
    1. In this story, u can't do anything without a 'skill card'- No matter how smart u r u are like dirt in front of the rankers as they can kill u without even needing to lift their figures.
    1. this story is more of an adventure story than an economical or scientifically progress story meaning a lot of those factors will be excluded from the story.
TLDR- this is a great story that focuses more on emotions than other things. All the characters have their worries and joys which are depicted clearly in the story. <<less

I won't say that this novel is perfect. Though the novel has its pitfalls in its world building at the start, even evident in the Manhua series which basically dropped you into the world with little to no explanation for the tower, I truly enjoyed the experience from how well the writer portrays the most emotional moments in writing.

From the start, Kim Gong-ja's personality was the usual weak MC swears revenge and regresses, sure. There isn't much to say about his personality, his goal to become stronger and be acknowledged... more>> is laid bare to the readers and he follows through with it, but he never becomes arrogant in his success, since he experiences hundreds of failures to achieve the goals he wants. This also works very well in tandem with the side characters once he gains noteriety. Every side character whom the MC interacts with act like actual people with their own clear goals and personality, not to stroke the MC's ego at every turn, which makes the conversations flow quite nicely and not feel very forced at major plot points.

Now personally the murim arc was my favourite part of the novel so far, not because I like martial arts part of novels but because the arc focuses on developing and exhibiting the MC's humanity and empathy. Contrary to the name of the arc, it barely had any real action since
Spoiler

there's just 2 people left in the world from a zombie plague

.

There isn't much more for me to say, the ability of the writer to convey emotions is something I cannot explain, but what I will say is that this is a gem with a rough surface. The opening chapters can be hectic from the author's rush to get to the meat of the story and expand the MC's character, but once you are like 30 chapters in, you will find that this story hooks you in with the borderline insane premise of dying

Honestly even now for me it is ahead in Ominiscient Reader by one step as in Ominiscient Reader, some characters were created for the story to be more intense and colorful but that's what made me resent the author a little characters that were very pitiful were mu*dered by dokkaibis or either some other people were just killed unjustedly but nonetheless I still finished the novel the mystery was great, plot twists were fcking cool too but this just hits different I didn't care for the mystery, I cared on... more>> how the author really used specific words that really just hits different,

Spoiler

Like how the elf guy told Kim Dokja:

Holding my head, I shakily got to my feet.

Ssonia was standing before me.

“Mm?”

-Lord Kekerkker.

His voice was serious.

“What... is it... ? Uwah, my head hurts. That alcohol was so bad...”

-I... would like to personally act in the next performance.

I raised my head to look at Ssonia.

An unknown desire shined in his blue eyes.

-I want to be like... No.

Ssonia said.

-I want to live like you.

[collapse]

the author's way of describing scenes, the author's way of expressing everyone's emotion, the comedy was awesome too, the romance it was just like out of a blue and that was why it was nice, it felt like a pure love of the MC and Raviel, like some puppy love that just seemed like how a guy would feel at his teenage years to a girl, like a smoothie mix of simpness with a bit of sweetness and a sprinkle of comedy. lastly that beautiful sunshine every time you read knowing it would always reach an ending where every victim will be consoled or the bad guy beaten up and with the MC using his wits to beat the stage in the most unexpected ways that it would also make you regret that villains with memory erasure don't exist in real life <<less

Th best thing that really makes this such an enjoyable read is the author's magnificent way with words that made everything sooo immersive that I felt my heart clutched and played like a stress ball. To the point that even the troupe/s I would normally not like would get me d*mn hooked. ... more>>
Spoiler

Like the Murim arc. I don't like Wuxia very much cause although I like their devotion, I don't agree that there's a clear distinction between good and evil. But this version of the author's was executed differently and very nicely. At least among the few Wuxia I've read.

[collapse]

I read the first few chapters in manhwa so I kinda skimmed those in the novel until the Murim arc.

Honestly, I didn't like MC at first. But it's just cause I related to him too much. Trapped in despair, jealousy, inferiority. I saw my reflection which is admittedly pathetic, that's why I hated it. I also didn't like his later tenacity cause I thought it would be toxic considering his numerous 'skill activation'.

Key point; it's all past tense. Aside from the plot's premise and uniqueness, what really got me hooked and devoted were the characters' growths and broadness.

—— Edit c125

Not sure if it's just affected by my mood from when I woke up but, from the second half of the Sormwyn arc, I lost the excitement I had.

Spoiler

I liked the romance although it was abit too abrupt that I suspected it was an effect of Raviel's skill, I liked their passion. They really got my blood boiling and heart thumping from their passion and their shamelessness. I specially liked the part when they kept dying as they kiss. I loved it, I felt my face burn.

But from after they finally shared their time, the romance started coming off as too overly cheesy and utterly cringe. At least to me.

From then on, I lost the excitement I had from all the previous chapters.

[collapse]

And then even after Sormwyn I still hadn't gotten back the excitement.... So I'm stopping here and maybe come back for it later. <<less

I like how the novel is written, the pace is slow and we can see MC's growth from a wimpy guy who envies, to a guy who wants no bloodshed. (Though his motives is unclear)

He's smart, unfortunately, the side character aren't. It's kind of sad that most of the side characters could not lead or even possess a characteristic that a leader should have, eventhough they are literally a guild leader. They all depend and blindly trust MC.

Anyways, I like that this novel shows empathy for struggles that people... more>> have. The arcs are nice, and there are times quite a few time where I cried, but sometimes MC's action comes off as abrupt/forced.

Spoiler

Like when he wanted to enter the world of Lefanta Aegim, it comes out of nowhere (we don't even see his thought process). And when suddenly he recruited a constellation into Earth's team. The same goes to the romance arc. After a day and not with any regression, he decided to fall in love with an NPC. This romance reaaaally is fast. I feel like at that time, his action doesn't fit his character at all. But afterwards, all is fine. I just need to avoid thinking about this romance arc. But I am okay with the FL though.

Writing: 15/10:

This novel is in a completely different dimension when it comes to storytelling, imagery, and portraying emotions. Im not an expert with this, but its just not comparable to any other translated novel i've read. Literally not even close.....

Story 9/10:

Its not, by any means something super new or original, but you will have a hard time finding anything quite like it. Story is unique, and consistent throughout, at certain times you will feel as if theres a plot hole, or bad pacing but it evens out rather quickly, making... more>> you forget about it entirely.

Characters 10/10:

This part is quite simple, each character has their own growth, backstory, and diverse personallity. Its truly full points 100/100 without exageration.

Summary:

You most likely will feel a bit confused, and even annoyed at the first few chapters, if you dont get a basis for what this novel is about so ill add one for you.

Spoiler

This novel is about the MC restarting in the past with present memories, the story itself however hardly touches this subject after the first arc, and is only used to guide to the MC mostly for the sake of his character development and to speed up certain parts of the story so the pacing is on point.

In other words, this story is NOT about him using his memories of the far future to an advantage, although it is touched on, the fact that he has memories of the future before he decided to go back to kill the antagonist hardly affects the plot at all.

The true plot, in a very simple summary, is closer to the MC doing his best to climb the tower with his comrades.

[collapse]

Romance:

Most realistic romance I've seen in any type of story ever. There are some reveiws that say it is unrealistic or to sudden. Its not in the slightest. The biggest arc in the story so far is dedicated entirely on 2 main characters and 1 or 2 barely appearing side characters. The FL makes the MC fall for her on purpose, and falls for him over time, it is "sudden" but its not wrongly paced at all. Which is how it should be. <<less

This is officially one of my favourite novels... the characters feel like real people and not just tools for MC to use. the plot and the premise is great but the best thing about it is how immersed you get in story and how well it is written.

Let me be frank. I'm unsure whether you can get into this LN or not. It depends on you. You're probably reading this because you love magic, you love OP protags, or even you just love Korean LN (like me).

This is completely different from all that.

Yes, the protagonist is OP, yes there's magic. Hell, everything is still run a skill based system.

... more>> However, none of that is the focus of the novel.

There's alot that's relateable with this story. The character starts with a hero complex, with an obssession over what was "supposed to be" the main protagonist. Yes, he starts incredibly lucky, and it starts out like any OP protag story. But it becomes something completely different.

The protagonist does not only hold righteous values, but they're reasonable righteous values. He simply wants to enjoy the good moments in life, and in order to do that, he does everything he can to make the world around him as "straight and good" as possible.

But it's much deeper than that.

Because the protagonist starts with nothing, because the protagonist understands what it's like to be neglected, forgotten, pushed aside by a cruel protagonist, he does everything he can to make a happy outcome for everyone, even if it means experiencing pain himself. The longer it goes on, the more you realize that this protagonist is not only clever, but actually cares for the impact he has on the world around him, and bases his actions off of his belief in the "right" outcome, even if it mean dying thousands of times. He makes himself remember his pain, and will always go the long way around things.

This LN is a really satisfying series to read, and I will recommend it to anyone who's gotten tired of the "OP Protagonist" trope, that's been so common. Once you get into it, it starts to feel too short just because of how good it is, not because it drags. Best character development I've seen by far in any novel. Combat is short, but powerful and descriptive, and nothing drags too long. If you're expecting badass, Ranbo style protaag, this isn't it. Because this guy is badass in every other way.

I'm going to leave the section for anyone who wants to know what's bad about it:

Spoiler

I have 2 gripes about this novel. One is the Raviel arc. It started really well, to be honest, and had a good setup. But like other reviews, I agree, alot of it was left to an "OOC" experience, leaving much of the Romance to be desired. It's also sappy. I hate that. I understand why the author put it, though.

It's clear that the author is terrible at writing Romances, as seen by this arc, and in order to compensate for this, he stuffs all the romance into 1 small section, so that he doesn't have to consider any of it later. And I think he's right in doing this.

Too often, OP protag novels tend to be oversimplify the romance. This novel is guilty of that, but what it does is it makes the Romance negligible to the overall storyline. The protagonist now has a wife, so what? It means no harems, no silly shenanigans, and the author can focus on what's important, Kim Gongja's character development.

To put it short, the Raviel arc sucks, but was necessary.

The other gripe I have is the goddamn name. I hate this s*upid novel name so much. To the point where I refuse to say it. I'm sure more people would read it if it had a better novel name, because, honestly, this is real good. Like, what kind of name is SSS-Class su*cide Hunter?! It even sounds clumsy.

0/5 on the name, 5/5 for the whole novel.

Don't think this as one of those Korean op dungeon hunter novels.

It begins as one but continues (for now) as different genre in the middle.

It's as if you are having an all in one novel which begins to transform in the suitable genre within each arc.

... more>> Translation is great as they have managed to convey almost perfectly the authors magnificent wordplay.

Don't go on hate it after just seeing first 30 chapters, thinking it as power fantasy and wish fulfilment story.

Sidenote: bad naming choice for the novel, makes it automatically look like a power fantasy generic tr*sh. Maybe that's why the saying goes "Don't judge a book by it's cover". <<less

* Re Reviewed Feb 10th, 2020 *

In long words short, I this is one of my favorite novels I've ever read. Better than 90% of the stuff you can find on this website.

I'll try and avoid spoiling anything, but one of the things that really stood out to me was how there is how there is no epilogue. That's because the story is paced and structured in such an amazing way that there is no need for one. From what I've heard from talking about others about the series, the... more>> point that really feels like the "end" differs depending on the person. For me, it was chapter 363, and I admit that I did cry a bit after reading it. However, that may have been out of the hysteria of staying up until 3am reading hundreds of chapters worth of unedited mtl.

Still, so many series have fantastic runs before failing to stick the landing. Seeing the way su*cide Hunter wrapped up was just MWAH chef kiss. I know how hard it is to properly wrap a series in a satisfying manner, especially with something as long as su*cide Hunter. But holy heck the climax -> falling action -> conclusion transition is just so delectable.

To be honest, it's a lot less world focused than it is character driven, contrary to what I initially predicted. The whole story is focused on Gong-ja and the way he changes and matures while climbing the tower. Pretty common in kr seinen novels, but I'm not complaining.

And can I just say that

Spoiler

the Black Dragon being a platonic female friend is such a breath of fresh f*cking air. F*ck, I've read too many stories where every person with two x chromosomes immediately drops their panties just because a guy they've known for 2 seconds treats them a bit better than everyone else.

[collapse]

To be fair, my opinion is heavily swayed by the unbridled amount of affection I hold for Gong-ja, but I'll just mark that up as another plus for the novel.

The only complaint I can think of off the top of my head is that I wish more characters and concepts had the time to be fleshed out more. I felt that some of the later floors definitely could've been swapped out, combined into one big floor, or just skipped over entirely in favor of something else.

That's all I've got for now. I'll come back and add more if I think of something else.

My Initial Review (at ch39, 5 stars)

Spoiler

TL;DR: I think it's really good, please give it a try.

It's rare that I stumble across a high-quality novel completely out of nowhere. No recommendation, no in-depth description, just a random selection from the home page. But I'm not exaggerating when I say this is some of the best stuff you'll come across on this website, and I'm already in love despite how early on this is. The characters, the world, the future, I want to see more.

As I've already mentioned, it's still fairly early in the story, but what we have is already a treat.

Going in on the first chapter, you're dropped into the world with absolutely no context. It's made clear right away that the world in the novel is unlike our own (as expected since there's legit monsters, kek). Society within the tower has yet to be truly explored, and the author isn't in a hurry to lay everything out for the reader. Even our protagonist seems alien, but it's already apparent that there is something there. But as this is a story that contains a heavy regression element, we'll be sure to see all sorts of colorful things.

kk, that's all I've got for now. I'll come back and edit this if I have more to say.

I really want to like this, I really do, but the novel is just worse. It's to a point that I suspect the translators left out sentences from the novel even though the translators are really good. This is because compared to the manhwa, many details are left out from the novel. You would think the novel would have more details that got left out when making the manhwa, but it's the exact opposite. In turn, you get a very repetitive story experience after the fresh setting allure got old.... more>> I 100% recommend the manhwa, even though I'd argue it also lost a lot of the beginning appeal after the first few arcs, but unlike the novel, the images make it much less repetitive. I've tried reading this novel 3 or 4 times at this point. But I always end up dropping it as I always get bored, making me read less and less till I drop, and eventually try rereading much later on. I give up now. Even with me fanboying the story, this is just your typical Korean tower climbers with a more unique setting and a kind obsessed MC. <<less

So I have read it up till the romance bit. The romance made no sense to me. Personally, that arc didn't need romance. The MC wants to learn about love because of what other characters said about him not knowing what it means to love or be loved or whatever. I don't mind him wanting to know what love is, but I do mind him suddenly obsessing over a character that, honestly, didn't need to be a romantic interest. I honestly believe, that he could have learn what love is... more>> from that NPC without having to be romantically involved with her. I can picture her as her being somewhat of a big sister or a senior teaching her junior what they believe is love. Then the MC could now decide whether he agrees with their beliefs or not. Or if through learning from them, he discovered his own definition of love.

But the romance aside, I did enjoy the novel and the manhwa, but something about the beginning rubbed me the wrong way. Specifically the part concerning the flame emperor. You cannot tell me that MC did not just hate the guy's guts. Hell, at the first chapter he hated flame emperor to the point of obsession, because the man had a life he could only dream of back then. The MC saw flame emperor killing a character off and it was even for a valid reason. That female character tried to kill him, so he killed her before she could. Then he noticed the MC watching him and he killed him too. For a pretty valid reason at that. I mean if you were in the flame emperor's shoes, what would you have done. But then the MC tried to justify his killing of the guy, saying he didn't deserve to live, because he was evil. Excuse me, just admit you didn't like the guy because he killed you and move on. <<less

Lackluster in every aspect and genre the author tried to write.

You can find better regression novel elsewhere. Don't waste your time here.

It was enjoyable at first till after ... more>>
Spoiler

MC cleared the 10th floor.

Even so it's just like in Ready Player One, where no one seems to be able to think of the simplest solution until the main character cleared it.

[collapse]

Don't waste your time reading after those chapters like me, expecting it would get better, because it only gets worse.

Spoiler

I don't know why MC suddenly got hero complex and silver-tongued, and all other characters lose their brain, cunning and ambition when facing MC and suddenly got friendship power and all that.

Also why MC still can remember sh#t after he dies 4K time+, the unnecessary memories should be gone ex. Names.

[collapse]

Romance is the worst I've encountered among novels rated four stars+ because

Spoiler

MC is a f# loser simp who loses his brain and will do anything for LI, even dumbest decision like will deleted his Signature Skil if LI orders him to. The romance is unnatural af.

Also wow, LI even has a regression skill like him, it's a match made in heaven!!!!!

I also tried to read it after the romance arc, but enjoyment was gone. I f# hate loser simp MC.

[collapse]

Dropped, no regrets <<less
