One day, a tower appeared in the skies of all the major cities…

Humans were suddenly summoned to become “Walkers”, and they needed to clear the tower to save the world.

Floor 77:

The “Stone of Regression” was discovered. Walkers could now “return” to the past. Slowly… everyone left.

Humanity’s last hope, “Carpe Diem”, was formed, joined by people who refused to abandon the world.

The last Walker reached floor 100. He no longer knew what to believe.

This novel's premise and first few chapters got me hooked fast, and stayed with me in memories - stronger than most other novels have, for a long time. I had put this on hold once upon a time after I had caught up with the translated parts, but have now come back and finished it.

I loved most of this novel. Although the power levels seemed a bit shaky at times in defining themselves, in relation to the MC and his opponents, if I take into account the novel's own world... more>> setting, it isn't really that much of an issue and also makes sense.
Spoiler

Jaehwan is a being who cannot be quantified by numbers and stats like most who he fights against, at least in the beginning. Thus finding a comparison to how strong he is using those numbers might make it seem shaky, which I thought at times.

[collapse]

Character creation creates a nice atmosphere and setting, but you can feel that they're, to an extent, an afterthought, as the main focus is only on Jaehwan and his journey. I say this because
Spoiler

Mino is discarded fairly fast; Sirwen's scene with entering Jaehwan's spirit, which was a fairly intimate act for Nightmares, did not have a development besides affecting Sirwen's emotions, that would only be mainly seen toward the end; Chunghuh's disciple Yurha switched sides, but it didn't seem to have much of an effect besides decoration; Karlton was used only for a single purpose, which in the end didn't even affect much;

[collapse]

The part that I did not love that much was more towards the ending. A lot more uncertainty and mysteriousness was brought in, and on a personal level, I dislike leaving some things open to interpretation. I couldn't find a chapter for an Afterword, which would've dissected some of the author's own thoughts when he built this world, and helped me see what he saw while writing.

Although I have rated this with 5 stars, this novel also suffers slightly from something that several others that I have read do - proneness to overly mystifying the story. It became a bit too convoluted toward the last, maybe 45 chapters. Don't get me wrong, it isn't done to a degree that it ruins the story, but it makes the author's thought process difficult to follow at times.

Do I recommend reading this? Absolutely. <<less

This story has an interesting idea, but after a while it became stale for me.

Good enough for a read if you have nothing else at the moment.

It’s not your typical adventure story.

It plays around greater law that governs all, what will it be like without. The unconventional naming schemes ties in with the author’s underlying message. The way the <depths> works feel like the web novel scene. The more follower you have the powerful your unique world becomes.

Boring reading. The concept is interesting (in te description of the novel). The content extends into the infinite, crossing the diluted content with the concept of the hero who is created to mirror person similar to "one punch men". It is simply boring in the long run.

I wanted to read this because I liked Omniscient Reader's Viewpoint. But I must say that I found the novel pretty underwhelming. There are similarities that I found interesting between the two but overall, nothing new.

While the author is good at feeding the reader enough information for you to connect the dots as the story goes, I think the big problem lies with the characters, the ending expects you for you to care about them for it to work but they all remain mostly 1-dimensional, the interactions between the cast... more>> and MC mostly feel generic and there's not much of a relationship growth. There's a pattern where one side character will understand MC a little bit and then they're put aside to bring a new one and then you barely see them have one deep interaction again before the novel ends. If you want relationship development between the cast and MC, this novel is not for you as it mainly introduces new characters then throws them to the side to introduce new ones.

The female characters are written in a very "Kyaaaa, Jaehwan~" kind of way where you get told these women are badass and 500 years old but then they'll blush and act in the typical roleplay "Oops, I fell and accidentally showed you my hips/60D b**bs!!/You were rude to me but I...😳😳" One friend told me that's because it was just the guy who wrote this (without his girlfriend), and it really shows, the female characters are very sexualized and are mostly only extensions of the male characters, it was uncomfortable to have to read about MC wanting to r*pe like thrice? And all the unnecessary s*xual harassment that happens to the female characters because they're that sexy.

There's some transphobia (Springs arc) and lots of jokes that are basically "Haha, gay funny./You sissy lol." and all of this combined doesn't feel very professional but immature? It feels like a very generic Isekai type of humor.

Jaehwan as a character, he's just okay, he has that backstory that we learn near the end but it isn't as gripping as Dokja's, and while a lot of his struggle lies within his loneliness, I don't really feel much personality or depth to him — like yes I cried at the moment when he was stuck 1 billion years but after a while, when I think of him, I feel indifference and struggle to try and give him a personality, I know there is one there! There's moments where he's a softie who struggles with his 'toxic masculinity' or pride. But it'd be lying if I said that he's very fleshed out, like he does change his philosophies as he learns before a power up but I still feel like for the most part, him at the start and near the end (Big Brother chapters) are the same besides writer Jaehwan. But hey, Ouroboros amirite? <<less

I like the story with MC being a person who did not give up on his current world, his present. Honestly, regressor theme is getting old so this one is a fresh new way & title.
