TLDR: I think you'll enjoy the novel if your looking for a novel with some smut where there is actual plot with action adventure and fantasy elements, without the R18 taking a majority of the story bogging it down (which was only true for the first main arc...). But if your looking for a pure tower climbing novel, as it's a novel focused on an evil protog and so far mostly r*pe for smut, though the action scenes were great (again mostly the start...), the world settings / adventure dives were a bit weak. As it's a harem novel, it'll likely also implode (which it did...). But so far it's been good. Sadly it's been paywalled cutoff though... Read mtl afterwards, it was still kinda good till c100ish when harem was officially set. Though the first arc was really good, each proceeding arc devolved the quality pretty hard so hard to suggest

I was not expecting such a good novel for something that was rated 2.5 stars and with a sh!tty cover Pic. The extremely low rating was my number one reason for rating 5 stars before I dropped rather than the actual rating.

The story is about the MC being transmigrated into a world of a book he read and followed, where the MC (girl) is a Regressor in a Tower... more>> Climbing type trope. Unlike traditional tower climbers, this one has multiple races from the get go. Everyone transported is from different dimensions and races mostly.

The MC being an evil fkd up protagonist, decides to r*pe the novel protagonist while hiding his identity, the FL, before she gets her v*rginity taken from someone else, and ends up becoming an explorative sl*t hooking up with multiple guys during her regressions. He does this to prevent her from looking for relationships, and now she's focused on a revenge arc while she keeps the MC close by.

Frankly so far (at time of original review), the novel has been really good. There is a few smut content, but it isn't a lot, so there is actual plot and world building. Though the smut content ended up ramping up more later on after I originally wrote this review. I can only hope it doesn't devolve solely into a smut novel with zero plot and development (which it mostly became...).

Now that the overall quality has dropped, its a bit hard to reccommend, as the main reasons that nade you like and stick with the novel at the start no longer exist. The tower floors are a bit haphazardly made and doesn't really make sense to me. It's just essentially another undefined world with villages and some field bosses to kill to move to another floor. This is probably the worst most boring tower climbing system setting I've read. It's to a point you can tell the author just wanted a tower setting to write his wish fulfillment novel. None of the world background and setups make sense either.

However, luckily this story isn't really about the world setting. The story is focused on the evil protag, characters, regressions, manipulationsish, fighting scenes, etc. I'm not really sure how to explain it... but I guess it could be similar to I'm the Heavenly Destined Villain in a way.

The MC is attempting to ride the coat tails of the FL, but without being able to hold back his lust, so he's on a dangerous line of doing the unspeakable, and needing to hide it so that she and the companions never find out.

The fighting scenes are pretty good. And it does well for the fantasy action adventure genre. The extra side chars honestly need more depth though. The main cast has that, but the antagonists and side chars that won't be there in the story for long are pretty flat, and have no development nor depth.

It's been paywalled cutoff from c50 at time of original review. I read on mtl after that. And the novel had 2 stark quality drops.

The first was
Spoiler

when the FL found out MC was the villain all along. It was very anticlimatic and quickly moved past. From this moment on, the novel really just became about smut scenes, and all the plots became smut plotlines. There was just too much. All the previous story style was thrown away. No more real plotlines and action scenes.

[collapse]

The second quality drop, which was the bigger quality sinker, was when the harem was officially set. The MC continued to cheat behind the FL's back for a while, but when caught, again very anticlimatic, and the FL then lost her whole personality and development that was developed for the whole novel and became a typical "yes" girl but with a lot of delusions and kinks to give plot armor excuse on MC to have a harem. All the side characters from here on out really lost a big part of the base of their whole personality and depth too. The novel was just slowly dying from there and there was no going back. It doesnt help that
Spoiler

other characters started to partly regress. Which was cool at the start, but it served to slowly more efficiently whittle down what little amount of depth every single character in this novel had left.

[collapse]

Lastly, my last main critique is that characters end up just getting discarded and forgotten about in this novel. The main side female character in the first arc on the first floor literally vanished into thin air the moment they got to floor 2, the main future antagonist their also just went poof and never appeared again.

A new plot point was introduced with MC having powerful female s*aves from his master Pluto who ens*aved them in his original dimension. Which was good at the start but I think it just ruined the novel a bit as all tension was lost and it was heavy forcing harem, and making smut scenes constantly go off. <<less
