This is a novel written by a sadistic author. I sometimes find the type, who love to write words that hurt, to setup scenarios that place characters on cliffs, all for their game of making the reader endure. However, these authors tend to have a natural enemy on their crusade to raise my blood pressure, and that is the fact that they cannot kill the main cast, or at least there is someone furrowing their brow at them whenever they go through with it.

Because it is real. Because they cannot come back. The real world that is lived in prevents these absolute bellends who happen to have good skills from wreaking havoc.

Well, this novel doesn't have that limitation. Regression makes it so that it is almost inevitable, in fact, and I am just on the journey of trying to figure out how the main character shits the bed this time around. The annoying point is a lot of the story is well written, and a lot of the character progression is well done.

But the author doesn't just wreak havoc by making it easy to cause tragedy. I must really emphasize that every base, every setup, is actively hostile to their (and your) happiness. The main character is an imbecile, his supporting power is actively useless, and, did I mention that the main character is an imbecile?

Of course, being a little bit s*upid is par the course, but the main character is a guy who intrinsically refused to ponder on his circumstances until 10 regressions in. He based all his actions on assumptions made without a thought, and made decisions that sometimes felt setup to fail. Often, the decisions can be realistic, and his panicking squall is probable, but when I can immediately tell the end of a regression, I find it akin to reading an obituary of a walking corpse.

There are also scenarios where the ending is not so clear, but I sometimes find reading this novel to be a bit jarring. For whoever tries it, just know that you are entering an inherently hostile environment. There is hardly a moment where you don't want to plead for someone to surgically remove the main character's brain and impart some f*cking common sense into his bleeding skull.
