a great premise with poor executionfirst off As stated by a previous reviewer, his regressions are also super formulaic. He gets depressed, gets a eureka moment before dying, regress, gets hopeful and repeat.secondly, the wordcount extendinator or as the author would call it, calling out attack moves of a 20+ combo. And I mean each strike, followed by effects like boom or whooshlastly, the biggest gripe I have with this is that for some reason, even with the knowledge that he is WAAAAAY far off from ending his regressions, he still gets attached and creates emotional connections to others. This is the same as stabbing yourself to feel something, the worst part is that the author claims, he acknowledges this, the character itself doesn't. By the same vein as immortality, continuous regressors tend to cut themselves off from others emotionally as in the end only the regressor will hold the memory of what happened.Spoiler
he forms a master disciple relationship with 500 su*cide assassins knowing they will either die or not even remember him in his next regression over 200 of which does die in the end. Then in his next regression he just straight up doesnt care, like, he just lost 300 or so emotional connections, connection so deep that he was super adamant to keep alive against their own wishes and hes jus fine after he regresses.
imagine your child suddenly has memory loss and you as the parent just doesn't care.
[collapse]I understand wanting to live your life to the fullest but this is ridiculous, he lives his life like it would be his last and what he's doing holds meaning but it doesn't and he's still going to regress. Always getting caught up in useless things.finally, he doesn't even make full use of his regressions, the greatest asset of regressors are knowledge and he's not really doing much with that other than improving his friends book
