Synopsis

In the midst of a ruined forest, due to the result of the clash between peak powerhouses, a body of a man lay. He was known as the 'Evilest Villain', the worst man ever born in humanity.His body was full of wounds with a spear piercing his heart. However, even in his final moments, he was calm and collected, with his usual cold face.
The only thing on his mind was, "Forgive me, I couldn't keep my promise to you."
He closed his eyes, ready to begin his eternal slumber in the darkness.
Suddenly, a blue light appeared, with ancient text that read, 'Do you want to turn back time, my child?'
He laughed and said yes.

    Somewhat new power system that integrates power systems from a bunch of novels, I like the back story and world building, more importantly I love the mc’s personality atm, author of possible could you make is such that the mc is a womanizer? I think it matches his personality and if he seduces the daughters of the elite family’s he could get massive benefits and such,end of the day it’s just a request this novel has serious potential either way, hope you don’t drop it😀

    Ah!!!! I like Asher's character so much.... he is first villian mc that i am extremely satisfied with, he is cold ,calm, indifferent, rational, calculative ,have high IQ and seriously I love that he is not ignorant , or have 0 EQ and thinks with his lower body.... I sincerely hope that there will be no romance and really wish the artist that you introduced is just someone that asher cares about ( but not romantically) . You know after searching for so long , I have finally found a mc who is so much to my liking ( currently 100%) that's why I particularly don't entertain the idea of even slight romance ( but I would still mc 🤫🤫93% .... umm no 95% ) . I also like mc 's system . Now that if talk about novel's quality.... it is very good . Author writing quality , world background designs, the thought he put behind the interactions , expression and dialogue are really well well detailed , it's just that authors updating speed is but slow but all is very good I am so satisfied that I can't wipe off the smile from my face

    Review at ch 40: The novel is average till now, so i give it 5.8/10 overall. Regression has become a common theme now, and even villain regressing has been done, albeit much lesser. The character of mc, who is the villain, sets this story different from others. And i didn't liked his character so much, effectively decreasing my opinion of overall novel. He is shown as ultra emotionless, yet arrogant boy, who is somehow genius and so his arrogance is justified, according to author. And i dont like such characters. The way he treats his sister, it's not good. Such mc could have been okay in other stories, but this is a regression story, and regression means making past better, not repeating those mistakes. When author tells the story of first timeline, how mc became such a villain and how his sister became so distant, that might explain his character better. Still, I have to praise author, his writing quality is good. And if he keeps on improving, and gets a better story, author can write much better.

    Honest reviews are here.. [Reminder: Extreme Spoiler Alert] This is a story about the most dangerous and wanted man got opportunity going through a 2nd chance (regression) with the help of God of time.. He died at the age of 27 years old, and he regressed back to the age of 13 years old.. There are 11 SSS ranker in human society existent and a few from Elite Family, while 3 from the World Association (a hypocrite and corrupted government).. The Elite Family is quite an influence in this novel as nobody want to mess with them.. And MC from one of the Elite family.. Plus, his grandfather is one of the SSS ranker who is 3rd strongest in the world.. The strongest man is the Principal of World Academy, which is also Master of MC adversary.. The principal plans to kill MC as soon as he graduates.. The 2nd strongest is Mage Associate, which is quite a neutral force, but see MC as a bad individual.. The story is very interesting in the beginning, but it gets annoying and frustrating as the novel progresses further.. The MC is OP (only among his peers), merciless, ruthless, calculative, emotionless, and bloodlust.. And due to he seem emotionless, this makes him seem cold to others people.. Although he is strong, the author is nerfing MC so much to the point that he annoying his readers.. But due to how great the storyline, the reader curiosity has overwhelmed our annoyed, which is enough reason for us to stay and continued reading this novel.. What kinda of nerf that annoyed the reader? Well, MC is a genius swordsman.. As a Regressor, he also has a system that assists him.. But most functions are locked and sealed until he meets a condition to unlock it.. For example, the system shops are supposed to unlock as he becomes Lv10.. Then, the author gives MC powerful techniques (SSS-rank), which is the result of synthesis: his previous life sword techniques and new power.. But then the author said MC can't use that power.. What is even worse? He also lost all the memories of the techniques and even his previous life sword techniques.. As a result, he also can't remember how he fights all his enemies as his memories have blur.. He can't remember how he won because he defeated all of them using his sword techniques.. I was like, "What the fork this author thinking?" Don't you think you had nerfing MC way too much? WHY do you make him a Regressor if you don't want him to remember it?? Even in the latest chapter, MC still can't remember any sword techniques of his previous life.. MC is a swordsman and you make him lose his techniques because the new sword techniques is too strong, so not only he lost the ability to wield that powerful sword technique, but also he also lost his previous life techniques or any sword techniques?? What??? And that's not all, MC gets a powerful curse just by touching his "loved" one.. If his loved one dies, he also dies.. That curse also reduces all his future system points he will gain and makes everyone hate him without a reason.. As everyone starts to hate MC without a reason, it will attract more enemies to him.. It kind of annoys the reader because the way the author keeps making MC suffer "by doing nothing." As a famous quote, "Villain is not born, but was created by society." Well, in this case, the author who created a villain.. I wouldn't mind a villain protagonist but slowly make MC life suffer and increase his struggle kinda super annoying.. In this novel, bloodline is important.. But don't misunderstand with what "bloodline" mean here in this novel.. Bloodline here kinda like special ability awakening during awakening such as reading memories, absorption, mana flow, and so on.. The bloodline here kinda complex as the author is not explaining any of it.. MC does have an SSS-rank bloodline: Devil Absorption, which is "taking a portion of the opponents highest stat by touch.. Only effective if the host kill the opponent himself and if the MC stat is lower than the opponents (Cooldown: 1 hour)" Plus, most of MC ability is in seal or lock or can't be used or weaker state.. Yeah, one of the authors main objective is to keep "nerfing" MC as long as he seems an opportunity to weaken him.. MC also has an OP beast, but he can't use it.. Even when he unsealed it, that beast got so weak as baby beast (lv1) and lost all it memories too.. It is quite disappointing that he uses his bloodline ability to absorb once per hour.. MC can kill and keep the monster/beast in his spatial ring and absorb it later, BUT he rarely does that.. The speed of MC growth is in slow pace, but kinda seem steady in the novel as he always ahead of his peers.. Moreover, when MC levels up, MC has a "system upgrade (every 10 level)" and all functions can not be used.. The time for the system upgrade is a week, so he also can't use absorb during those times.. Coincidentally, he got his first S-rank hunter dead during those times, and MC can't absorb dead S-rank hunter stats because the system is upgraded (Ch397).. The author also makes an MC character to become so cold, which is IMPOSSIBLE for MC to make an alliance with anyone.. Every kill will give him EXP, but as I said a thousand times, the author always has a ways to nerf MC.. MC make a poison smoke himself and make his opponent paralysed them. Then, MC killed him, but that didn't make him gain any EXP.. The author explains it is because of MC use the "material" of the poison smoke that he buy from somewhere else and not origin from himself, so he don't get any EXP even though he make the poison and kill the opponent without anyone help (Ch176).. As the main character is a Regressor, the author always makes MC flashback his past life, ALWAYS.. I feel like one of the third of this novel is about MC flashback on his previous life.. Yes, it that MUCH the flashback in this novel.. Most of the time, there are no warnings and BAM...flashback time.. You kinda notice that due to the same scenario of the scenes are repeated, and MC is just going through once again, but this time, he acts passively/cowardly and gives worse results or different situations.. Yes, it is very frustrating that MC has been nerf most of times, whenever the author can find an opportunity to put on MC, he will do it.. You will lose count by how many unknown skills MC has and how many abilities MC are sealed or weakening.. The enemy is everywhere, and the enemy are allies with each other, while MC barely has any friends.. Every enemy has a scheme.. The author is letting us know about the enemy scheme a little by little.. One sentence on this chapter.. Three four sentences on the next 10 chapters.. And repeat.. If you have a blur-type or slow-type personality, you will find this novel hard to understand.. Amid all that, there are a good or awesome arc: Kalvas Gala Arc where everything goes according to MC planned and some plan might not, but it does give better result compared to MC original goal.. I love this Arc the most.. Other than that, there are too many mystery here.. The author is not good at explaining the mystery either.. The author keeps putting "???" or "?!?" Many times, and called other mystery like "that thing" or "Overseer" or "mysterious beast, " and the author never explains any of it, not even on the latest chapter.. I guess the author wants to keep it mystery forever.. After Ch250, the story is getting better.. We could see that the author also grows along with MC.. We barely see flashbacks from Ch250 until Ch390, then after Ch400 until the latest chapter, MOST of it is flashback.. After Kalvas Gala Arc, next is the End-year ceremony competition Arc, but it is not as good as the previous Arc.. Then, Ch400+ is Trial Ground Arc, kinda boring, as too many flashbacks and "mystery".. The author keeps adding one mystery to another one WITHOUT EXPLAINING any old mystery.. The story is quite good, but Nerfing the MC is very annoying for me.. You give MC a powerful skill, but it seals.. You give MC powerful techniques, but it can't use it.. You make MC a Regressor but can't remember most of it.. You give MC system but give too many restrictions on him.. Why give those to MC but don't want to let him USE it?? Imagine like this.. Your father is a billionaire and gives you one million dollars.. But your father gave a condition, he said, "You can't use the money to buy food, drink, gambling, crypto, drug, property, vehicle, toy, prostitute and games." And you were like, "then why do you give me so much money for? I can't even fully use it.." And now, the author has stopped updating the novel for more than a month.. The Trial Ground Arc is not end yet.. We wouldn't mind if the author takes a break AFTER ending the arc but stops midway?? That is irresponsible.. Well, this novel would be 4 stars if not for updating stability and nerfing, which got zero star, which dropping overall rating..

    the story started out great with the MC personality. The side characters and even the world building was good but the grading scale of his system is really weird? For example, he has the SSS rank skill to absorb stats but we nearly see him use it. He made an entire new sword style but it consumed his earlier swordskills and still have to cultivate it from the beginning. At this point why even have a system when all we see is him getting nerf over and over again. As of chap 73 it has become even more of detriment to him than help. The system is the only thing bringing this novel down from 5 star to 3.5 for me

    How many readers do you think dropped this story because of this extra-long flashback? Theres like over 20 chapters of useless chapters. The flashback if too long... We don't care about the story of the past since that already failed. Flashbacks are ok if there only 3 - 5 chapters only.. But 20 chapters of continuous chapters. Its a shame this was one of the stories I read every day.. But now... I don't even care about the release. I'm just waiting for the story to comeback to the current timeline.

    I think after chapter 445, the author accidentally slipped from the stairs and got transmigrated to his own novel !!!! That's why we are not getting any updates!!!

    Just wanna say, for people looking for explanation or smthn, idk why the author didn't just say it directly, but in one of the privleged chap at around 14th nov, he said he is deathly ill, so just wait and see ye, an illness that bad might have some side effect, or in a better scenario, it's school related stuff, it's near the end of the year anyway, so let's not bash my guy too much, and hope he doesn't die early or doing the dirty drop, im really addicted to his work, and i need the supplier to be alive.

    Dear author, if you are reading this (which you probably are, that is, we already know that you are alive due to your increase in reading books in webnovel) you have disappeared for more than 8 months, the last chapters uploaded were repeated, we are almost 2025 update the novel or simply tell us that you do not want to continue it, it is unfair that readers who have followed this work for a long time receive this treatment, if you are going to leave it, just say so and we have stopped hoping that it will return. Of course you can just ignore me and continue having readers waiting for something that may never happen...

    After the kalvas gala arc I feel like the writing quality went down, plus author kept on saying he’ll release more chapters only to not release said chapters giving many of us false hope.
