It’s rare that I give a 5/5 rating, but if one novel deserves it on this dumb app, it’s this one. You can tell that the plot is well thought out, as there are no real plotholes to speak of. The world building is also well done, especially because we learn about the world and beyond at the same pace as the MC, which makes the most world feel more real. But where the author truly shines is character design. Our MC is a regressor, but not a former god, nor your typical complete bottom worker. He had the potential to live a mediocre life, but was at the wrong places at the wrong time and unluckily learned about the harsh and dark side of humanity, where he managed to live a more or less meaningless life. As a regressor now, he uses his experiences from the dark side of humanity combined with future knowledge to shine. He still makes reasonable mistakes along the way and I mean reasonable as a I’d have probably done the same. I like how the side characters and his enemies are not stupid to let the Mc seem smart and have their own motivations. All and all we have truly ruthless MC, who is still has a small softspot for his little circle of loved ones, who carves his way through the world (worlds hopefully in the future) and leaves rivers of blood behind.
