Ahh I still see the lore implications that occurred after chapter 200 have still not been addressed, probably Never will to all future readers don’t get invested in the lore, it shall be wiped each time whenever the studio or author finds convenient.
A manga that can not follow its own rules and can change the entirety of its lore on the drop of a dime and does so even once will most likely in the future do it on multiple occasions just to extend itself, a story like that will never be worth the read, die hards will downvote this comment but to them I ask can you try to justify what just happened on chapter 200 everything we learned from chapter 1-200 was invalidated in an instant, I was heavily invested in the lore then they have the gm thanos snap everything we learned was true out of existence along with all the mc’s skills and levels, everything he worked for can and will be instantly taken away, I and all the readers have every right to be mad, you can’t just do that without people saying yeah no we know where this is going and see some of your fanbase stop caring about your book.
Ps: I am 100% sure some jack *** is gonna downvote me so I want you to know in advance whoever you are the moment they do a wipe again imma be here to make fun of it, deep down you all know the author is not gonna be able to resist doing it again and when it happens imma be back here to warn others.
And with that I rest my case see ya next time in the comments section when they do it again.
So the point of this story is that the skele gets better each time to protect the folks he builds up with. These folks don’t know that and it kind of builds this nobility around the skele. This is then subverted when folks start “remembering” their past lives.
None of that would matter though if the story didn’t degrade into a “what’s in the box” kind of telling. You’ll find loads of mysteries early on like who is Kevin Ashton. But that’s kind of like the Will of D in one piece it’s fine cause you know that it’s end game and in the background, you’re here for the world building and characters. But the world building starts becoming “whats in the box”, so chapter by chapter it’s what’s in this room? What’s behind that door? Etc..
That’s just stupid.
SPOILERS:
The story violated its own lore. You find out that even though the MC regressed that the other characters would start dreaming and flashes of their previous relationships with him. We were getting closer to solving the mystery of how the MCgets to his first master and what her motivation was in lying to a lowly skeleton soldier. And ep 200 destroyed all of it. We have no idea if the first person he saw in the new timeline even exists (and he seems to have no interest in investigating) nor do we know if any of the rules from before the hard reset apply. It flushed 199 eps of great, tight storytelling down the drain, including the MC’s curiosity.
199 breathtaking chapters. On the 200th, it got so bad so fast it was shocking. But with 199 amazing issues to look back at, it’s still one of my favorite stories ever told. The last 3 arcs have been horrific. I want to believe the author died and this is their talentless kid writing instead bc it makes no sense otherwise.
Was it dropped?

Delete your comment XD Cause if you skip to 200 you will be completely lost in the story and have no idea what to do next… and its already at 250. Skelly’s strength is back. so yeah.
200 was a forced end by someone else besides the author forcing it to happen… aka the studio.
I would’ve rated this higher if he hasn’t been wearing that ugly ass blue armor for so long.
4/5
You know, It would be insane if they made an anime out of this.
This is good shit right here. The characters are likeable, the plot’s interesting and you can feel a sense of progression. As many people said bellow me this manhwa sometimes suffers a little with it’s own pacing and the mc is extremely naive (however still pretty likeable). Even with it’s flaws i would definetly recommend 9/10
It is fun to certain point. After that author decides to milk death cow once more and ruins something that could have been decent story.
Read only if you love asian endless grind games.
Would give it -5 if I could.
Strory’s progression goes pretty slow but that’s better than when MC becomes an OP in the second chapter lol
I remember reading this when it had like 150 chaps. I ended off at some part where he was fighting some strong monster and died. It was pretty good but the non stop dying caused the story to progress very slowly. All in all, if you have enough patience and time on your hand to read it, you definitely should
Note to self: AWESOME
