Description

Links are NOT allowed. Format your description nicely so people can easily read them. Please use proper spacing and paragraphs.

My whole life, all I wanted was power.

I churned the world into rivers of blood and eventually gained the title, ‘Demon Lord of Strength’. However, all this became useless when I lost to a party of heroes.

But what can a loser say? As I laid dying, I was forced to listen to the hero’s gibberish:

“If you are born again, I hope that you will live a kind life!”

But huh? When I opened my eyes again, I was back in the past.

“What do I have to do to live a kind life?”

This is the beginning of an ex-Demon Lord’s journey to live a ‘kind’ life.

Alright this is not a game changer or some epic story. But What's makes it special is MC's nature and his twisted sense of kindness.

So basically our MC who used to be demon lord regressed after getting killed by hero's party. Now our reborn MC is obsessed with doing kind deeds. But the thing is, he doesn't know what kindness means. So he is travelling around the world, screwing up bad guys plans and killing them.

In the background he finds a secret organization who maybe responsible for all the bad... more>> things that happen to him and the world in his past life. So a plot is beginning to emerge.

I found the plot interesting and MC's kind acts amusing.

So give it a try. So far it's good <<less

Looks interesting but I really think this looks too American my gut feeling is probably an issue with the translation it doesn't feel Korean.. Like either it's an amateur Korean writer who often reads American novels or a translator who gives himself too much creative licence I'll have to check the raws because this novel feels strangely inconsistent

But I think the story lends itself to this kind of translation transformation because, If I focus can think about how it was written and it wouldn't probably make much difference, just feels... more>> disconcerting reading this narration style on a Korean novel and it probably is better for this particular novel

I'd give this novel a solid 4.3 out of 5.

Very good Score in my book the story itself is lacking in the characters and I would really like some more colors on the characters; that would really make the novel on another whole level.

But the strong part it's the big plot is not garbage and it's good structure

It's just the author feels a bit stiff, like he doesn't let go yet of something but I can see what he wants to write, he kinda has shame and some times he walks backwards instead of forward

The story feels Entertaining and original so far. I haven't feel particularly excited in a scene or looking forward towards a character interaction but I'm willing to give it a few more chances

Because I can feel the author is a dedicated person

I can see the author has a kind of honest discipline but he also has like bad plot habits but I think with just his discipline he can fix and grow out of them

Like he struggles with drama and resorts to a kind of fake lying on dialogue from characters I'll explain on this next time when I read more chapters if this persist

It's basically the main issue with characters they don't feel so colorful yet

Like he's ok but didn't polish this part of the novel I ACCEPT THAT but please I wanna see the novel getting cooler later on

I'm very tolerant on these kinds of mistakes because it means the author could have something better or even great down the line

But even if it didn't have, the novel it's very solid, even entertaining for me that I'm very picky on what I read

I really hope author finds the inspiration he needs, makes the turn from good towards greatness and make something cool awesome I'm not excited about <<less

I gotta say, at first I thought it was gonna be about those overpowered Manga characters but no, this is a very well done novel with some clues left around that make the novel very interesting in terms of plot and the author doesn't change everything about the character just to make the plot move forward, it is not a perfect novel by all means but trust me it is much better than 99% of the garbage out there lol (by the way I pressed 4.0 by mistake and didn't... more>> know how to change it) <<less

An overall really solid novel. The pacing is great, the characters and their actions are believable, the villains aren't dumdums, and there's no harem. While the MC is always center stage with his schemes and combat ability, the side characters pull a lot of weight as well, which makes it enjoyable. My only complaint is that I never feel like the MC is ever pushed to the edge, but at the end of the day, that's just my personal preference speaking.

I actually really love this a lot so far. It's been laugh-out-loud funny for me at times, and it's just a really enjoyable ride so far.

Things I like in no particular order:

  • Zich. He's complicated and inconsistent in a very human way. And he's funny. His unique way of doing "good deeds" is out there, but can you really say he's wrong?
  • The side characters are great, from Hans to Snoc to Lyla. I love the way that he collects companions. While they do blindly follow the MC, they also have their own motivations for doing so.
  • The female characters don't just fall over themselves over the MC. While they all end up admiring the MC in one way or another because he helps them, there's pretty much no romantic feelings going on (except with one character).
  • The plot! There's regression! A mysterious organization! Timeline shenanigans! Other things that would be spoilery!
  • Zich. Yes, he's on here twice. He's a chaos monster who truly follows his own whims, but he consistently helps others grow in ways that they don't expect.
You should give this a shot if you like low stakes adventure stories (because lbr, we all know he's going to win) with the tiniest hint of a romance (not a harem) and humorous character interactions!

Now this novel to its entirety was quite great, enjoyable fights, closure on all side characters, and a fitting ending for our dear demon lord who has done his good deeds. Although, some work could be done near the last few tens of chapters which seems only slightly rushed but still ok.

Our MC had gone through his journey well making Allies with the heroes companions, his old companions when he was a demon lord and new companions which he never would had made if he were not Zich. The loose... more>> ends or plot holes we would ask at the beginning/middle of the story are cleanly explained

Spoiler

By Zichs very first “self”and the princess of the fallen kingdom (forgot her name cause it’s been awhile since it ended)

[collapse]

I do wish there were a bit more to the end, like maybe a after story on MC and FMC.

With everything in mind though, this novel is a clear Five-star which many people can agree on, good storyline, good character developments, good arcs, and good tie ups. <<less

One word-'Satisfied'.

I can't express how satisfying this story is. This has lot's of comedy and action that make one like every chapter. The plot is good with no extra drama or unnecessary twist or turn.

Romance didn't interfere with the fun and the comedy didn't effect the action. Overall this is 10/10 to enjoy. Anyone can enjoy this story.

Highly recommend.

It's pretty simple and straightforward story, without any great twists. The plot and some settings may seem complicated at times but in hindsight they were all actually pretty linear. As a senior reader of these type of novels I was constantly on the lookout for the "Gotcha" twists, you know the usual deus ex -ish betrayal stuff. There was none. And it was fine that there weren't.

Honestly, objectively rating there really wasn't anything phenomenal about this book. World building was alright at best, some characters grew nicely- some not at... more>> all. The plot and regress setting is, at this point in time, rather overused and the execution was nothing special. Still as a complete book it carried quite well and kept me interested.

The best parts about this book for me were the obvious victories for the MC and his companions. The villains were always somewhat understandable but at the same time annoying enough that stomping on them felt really nice. Especially since it was done by another guy with a rather wicked personality. This was the mood that held it all together.

Translation wise I have almost nothing to complain. If if it was school grading it would easily get an A. If I had to nitpick I would of loved very, very slightly more of a personal touch for certain ways of translating. For example there was somewhat a lot of calling others by 'Sir' from the MC, even when the situation inside the milieu could of definitely called for more crass way of addressing someone. I know it's not exactly protocol to take liberties like that but I feel like it would have definitely upped the game a little bit and made MC even more relatable and interesting, perhaps even further bringing out the originally intended feeling. But that's just my small take.

Overall it's very worthy read. There couldn't be much to hate about this book for anyone I feel like. Do give it a try. <<less

I gave this a five star, but this was a great piece of literature just one step below the korean novel masterpieces out there for this genre such as ORV and SCOG.

This is particularly enjoyable for people with a bit of sadistic tendencies, and the whole novel was enjoyable from beginning to end.

The twists in the story were done well, but you would say they are done too much by the book. There wasn't any mind-boggling twists or plot points. That isn't a bad thing per se, but that just... more>> makes the story clean, simple, and well done, not revolutionary.

For people who enjoy a bit of romance with their action and adventure, this is also the book for you. That is not an exaggeration, there is only a BIT of romance, but it was romance done right. The romance part will only start to develop in around the last 200 chapters and side stories.

Overall I was left satisfied, yet also asking for more (?), so I can recommend this to anyone looking for a good read.

If you want to hear about one weakness of this book, I would say its weakest part is its ending. I'll leave the details as a spoiler.

Spoiler

The final boss/enemy/villain was a bit forced. Although the battle was fun, Glen Zenard's final act was a bit of a stretch. Like, oh, there's a secret power by the way, it appears when you get through the irrational fear regression gives. Also, the ending is decent, but we didn't get more romantic side stories about Zich and Lyla, no side stories for the love life of great supporting characters, even though there is closure. And finally, when the world tree was revealed not to be a part of their world, that opened a whole new avenue of adventure that could've been exploited! Zich's full power at the end hasn't been used enough in my opinion, and I for one wanted to know where the world tree came from, how did it end up in their world, and other things. Though, going on a whole another arc might make the novel get dragged on, I think the solution to that is a sequel. I would be happy with one, even if Zich and Lyla only become a badass side character.

Its a very good fantasy novel. There isnt much suspense tho since the MC is both smart and strong, but that really isnt a problem. The villains fit the role of villain so much that u cant help but cheer for the MC to tr*sh them completely.

Overall its a fun read nothing to stressful happens.

It's good... hehehe

There's flaw in here and there but it's good until the end. Some of it is dragged archs. One's especially annoying, it keep going until I get tired of and the conclusion wasnt that good. The other is you dont get a illustration of character. I even doubt the cover to be precisely correct. ... more>>
Spoiler

Maybe the cover is zich, but THE SWORD IS WRONG. windur is A TREE LIKE SWORD. it also not estellade whis is a pure white sword until it's handle. Not to mention tornium. Or does is the cover when he's leaving steelwall?

[collapse]

But I really like the MC character. Oh dear lord, this man is so cruelly sadistic, I love it.
Spoiler

i like how he roast the bastard who want to revive his lover

[collapse]

Other character also more or less get influence by him even though they keep denying it.
Spoiler

our not so innocent saintess, the sun hero who could taunt the enemy without ill intention

Novel is decent with an interesting premise. Main character is unique and pretty well fleshed out. The main arcs revolve around having an enemy and then scamming them in some way or with some kind of betrayal at the end.

The writing overall is average and starts to get fairly repetitive pretty early on but should see you through at least 1-200 chapters.

it is quite good. Main character is sort of weird/insane tho.

He goes back in time, learns powers, punishes some guys, leaves family, trains some ordinary people and some future geniuses/allies from his future and they go as a band of people to do stuff. Mainly to discover this secret that is shown to the readers to be coming from another dude who is kindof probably not oke in the head. They are both very powerful, tho atm main character is simply trying to discover what is that secret/who is doing... more>> that secret.

İt is nice, characters are simple but it goes on a steady pace.İ only read 77 chapters so far but I took a peak at some chapters in the future as well.İ give it 3.5 out of 5.İt's nice, but I didn't get that attached to the world, or the characters in the almost 80 chapters I read. Main character is interesting tho. The power system looks simple so far as well.İt does pique my interest with what can happen and main character and stuff that happen are pretty fun. And I like some side characters. They can be sort of unique, it seems especially obvious when they come in contact with main character. Like priest girl, she is very simple but I liked her a lot and her interactions with main character. She changed and it was fun <<less

If you like antihero/evil main characters this novel has it. It reminded me a lot of Regressor Instruction Manual, because both have a morally questionable MC making people that wrong them get f*cked. My main criticism is that the world doesn't feel very vibrant or interesting, just your average fantasy world. Maybe its because the author isn't very descriptive.

Besides that it's pretty good and I recommend to anyone that likes this type of story.

Great novel full of amazing plot twists and good expectation subversions. A story that will lead you by the nose if you aren’t careful, yet you will gladly accept being treated like that. Interesting characters with layers and is funny as hell, highly recommended.

Pretty descent reading. Easy to understand and predictable. The plot was standart with repeated pattern.

So like I was saying. It just descent to kill time.

One minus to it I could say was the character like a bit*h everytime he fought bad guys. Like seriously its getting on my nerve. Like he got this tendency to explain to his enemies about what he had plan or talk tr*sh of his opponent. You know what murim girl in every novel you can think of fight better than him. That's it. Period..

If you... more>> don't believe me just read it yourself. At least I had warn you <<less

This novel is pretty cool at the start, with the protagonist being bad*ss and screwing everyone over. But as the story goes on, it starts to get more and more boring.

The world building is alright, it's not very interesting imo. It did introduce the ancient stuff, but it's just one of those "There is an ancient empire/kingdom/country that's way more developed than our current one". Pretty generic.

The characters aren't anything to look forward to. The protagonist is the most interesting character, but even he fall off after you get to... more>> chapter 200+. Since there is almost no character development, or any drastic ones at least, this novel will get pretty boring once you reach 200+ chapters.

The premise is alright, nothing to comment on that.

The style of the novel is ok. I just hope they flush out the characters a little more so we can feel more attached to them, cuz one of the characters, that Snoc guy, is very forgettable.

Every arc felt the same. It's all just Zich and co vs secret org, with a few extras. The way they are executed are also the same. They start the same, and ends the same. Every arc can be simply described as, "The secret org is coming to corrupt people! What?! Zich and co are now here to stop them!" Yeah.

In conclusion, a slightly interesting read at start, gets boring 200+. <<less
