Eternally Regressing Knight

Read until ch. 10 before writing this
(There are only 10 available atm)

Yep, it’s about a repetitive regressed (killed) MC. The author wants to portray a steel-hearted MC who refuses to give up, but there are phrases like,

Even a dumb donkey won’t fall into the same hole twice

Yet… the MC keeps making the same mistake over and over again for chapters! It’s no longer persistence; it’s naive, foolish, like a kid who refuses to accept reality when there are sooo many other ways to avoid or solve the problems. Good thing, the MC isnt a donkey himself.

While the plot idea is quite good in my opinion, the storytelling itself feels like walking through a desert. It’s all sand—repetitive, overused, boring—and there’s nothing fresh or entertaining. It just offers a problem, next problem and another problems. The transitions between plots also feel raw and unpolished, relying too much on “and then” transitions. Short and jumping from one point to another point in instant. Not to mention, in the first 5 chapters, most of it is just narration, lacking dialogue and stuff.

You know what I hate the most? It’s the character development. The MC is so naive, stubborn, egocentric, unrealistic and impractical. When the solution could be as simple as “communication,” yet the MC chooses a repetitive and harder path to do. It feels like a forced character development, but that is exactly what the story is about, it is what the author wanted and it’s annoying.

Its stupidly slow paced

Imagine MC regressed (killed) for 34 times and learn nothing. Or doing the same thing for the whole 3 chapters, killed for over 120 times. And the only character development he gained, is that he could open his eyes while fighting.

This series certainly has potential, as long as the author could improve his storytelling skill. But as for now, it just feels so bland.. tasteless. If someone were to say, “It’s still too early to judge,” I would simply reply, “Then it must also be an early attempt at writing a story from the author’s side.” It’s worth waiting for improvement, but not yet worth reading.
