I’m an Infinite Regressor, But I’ve Got Stories to Tell Chapter 18 Discussion

Really solid story, recommended if you like non linear episodic style writing. This reads like someone who is telling his autobiography in a free form way, with musings and time jumps.

Pro

• • MC is old, mature, and pretty powerful. The author makes him humane and interesting, not some kind of edgy unfeeling killing machine like you see sometime with these kind of stories.

• • Introduced characters are interesting and have their own quirks, they feel distinct.

• • The author plays with the regression genre in itself, and yet it doesn't feel like a self hating parody, it's fresh.

• • The non linear story-telling allows for a good pacing while introducing interesting concepts regularly, I'm usually not a fan but in this case it works because every arc has its own point, the one the character wants to explain.

• • The world lore is interesting despite not being really developed yet.

Con

• • No romance (personal preference, in this case it doesn't make the story too dry as characters have interactions with each others, and romances are hard in time loops anyway, as illustrated in the story itself actually)

• • Maybe too vague at the start, it's hard to see what exactly is the "enemy" or why he's failing and regressing until later in the story. Or even his actual powers.
