It has been quite some time since I found a gem. This is excellent at so many levels.1) the pace: at first I was a bit skeptical since I tend to dislike slow paced stories and dread time loops due to repetitiveness. Oh boy, the author is a master of his craft, the pace is perfect to make you feel and relate to the characters and he/she cleverly makes the MC change what he does in every regression.2) The story: so many stories are so frustrating that you just skip to get to the end (or the good parts without ever getting there). this is not one of them, the author succeeded at making the journey itself enjoyable instead of reaching the final result.3) character growth: one of the best I ever read in any novel hands down.4) the emotional rollercoaster: wow, you can feel what the character go through. This is not a story where the author tells you how the character think/feel... The author makes you get that through what they go through. It's one of the strongest point of the author. The frustration, joy, pain, enlightenment, maturity... You can feel them as you read the story.5) cultivation and plot: unique take on cultivation and very logical reactions. It's as if the author is trying to explain all the bs and other tropes of xianxia in a way that makes sense without actually explaining. Going against fate, against the heavens, lightening tribulation... In this story everything feels so logically anchored that it's amazing. Plot is very solid since each regression is limited in time (MC lifespan) and as the MC grows he has access to more information and sees thinks from different angles thus extending the story. Also regressions are not repeats, so it's more like a new arc everytime.I am reviewing at chapter 131, if this remains at the same quality then it will easily become a masterpiece. Do read this!
