I don't think I will be continuing this, not because it's atrocious or bad but because I genuinely don't like Nicholas. At first he was entertaining, a breath of fresh air, now, 50 chapters later I find myself more annoyed whenever he comes up on screen. Reading this is more exhausting than fun now, which is a shame because I like the premise.
In that case I think you should remove it, like I said it decreases tension significantly as we as readers know that him dying doesn't really matter beyond initial trauma etc. Additionally, having a power as strong as that and not using it would be really frustrating, whenever anything bad would happen to Naruto most would think: 'Ok, why not just respawn?' even if circumstances of doing so wouldn't be beneficial, even now, as the previous chapters have shown(if I'm not mistaken) he doesn't loose any progress after respawn, with that in mind, what's stopping him from locking himself in self imposed loop where he trains and respawns as needed to become OP in matter of what would be minutes to other characters? Either delete respawn or set some hard limits that we are as readers aware of, for example limit the number of respawns to 3, the first use and 2 thereafter or something like that.
Respawn isn't inherently bad, however it decreases tension and worry for Naruto and others as it is basically a cheat code. It also makes us question Narutos actions, I mean if he really cared, he could respawn and in the next run do something to avoid detection etc. It also introduces time shenanigans which can be tricky to navigate, even when they are quite simple. It really depends on the fact if you have really thought and planned things out.
To be honest I don't really like the fact that he has no idea as to how to control his own body, Ainz didn't seem to have any problems he does. And as interesting as the idea seems, having more chapters that consist of training montages for him to get back to his former glory will be incredibly tedious affair. All of us knew that he will eventually be OP and this sudden 'nerf' is quite jarring. After seventy chapters of build up his OPness feels deserved, even if in reality it might not be.
I think that in a way Pantu and the rest subconsciously believed that he wouldn't kill countless people just to prove a point. So far he has killed, yes, but only individuals, people who "deserved" it, as shallow as the justification for it might be. They probably thought that he would still target individuals, not truly considering the fact that he will drag others down with them just for the heck of it.
I understand your choice to write him like this, and I don't hate your decision however what I don't like is inconsistency in his character. Many times you wrote about his absence of morality, and so why should he care about the Great War? He can always hide and rise in strength at his leisure, war it tragedy, it's very dangerous but it's also incredible opportunity, especially for a gamer and a necromancer at that, he would never have to worry about sources of exp or bodies, a lot of things are excused during war, experimenting on the enemy is only natural, no one would bat an eye. We already established he isn't afraid of Grayfia so why choose this? The only answer is lust, as being cause of a conflict in which most of her family has good chance of dying in is better choice in that regard, he could also work behind the scenes kill or enslave them himself. Beyond his lust I don't understand why he would choose that?
I really like this, the concept is interesting, characters and their interactions are amusing and believable, not much can be said about the plot as it only just started going but it seems entertaining at the very least, stability of updates is also good so no complaints there. All in all its really cool fic and I cannot wait for more of it.
shame she wasn't chosesn
