Arlan can go back in time by one minute, once per day.


To lift himself out of the poverty of peasantry, Arlan traveled into the monster-infested wilderness, aiming to acquire the Swordsman Class. While exploring, he encountered a Demon with powerful time magic, and after a battle gone wrong, he ended up with something different than he’d hoped: an unheard-of Class named Minute Mage.


Now, lost in the woods without any training to use magic and not even a usable weapon, Arlan must rely on his new Class’s one unique power: the ability to turn back time by a single minute. Nobody in the world has ever heard of this Class, so he can’t rely on community, the knowledge of his peers, or any of the studying he’s done until now – only instinct. And when he explores further, he finds that this forest isn’t what it seemed – that Demon had to have come from somewhere, after all. But he’ll fight to Level up, increase his strength and time-traveling power, and break out of the fatal forest with his life intact.




What to Expect:


-Numbers. This is a LitRPG written by someone who loves LitRPGs. It won’t be overwhelming or confusing, but if you dislike the genre, this probably isn’t the story for you. Blue boxes ahead!


-Meaningful progression. Characters are always working to grow more powerful, but doing so is difficult. Level-ups are hard-earned and bring with them meaningful change in characters’ abilities.


-Tactical fights. Fighting is as much a battle of wits as it is a battle of muscle, after all.


-No harems.




Chapters average ~2750 words, though earlier chapters are a bit longer than that. Currently updating daily at 7 am EST for about a week while I work through the rest of my backlog. Will eventually to something more sustainable, like 3, week or something.


Enjoy!

    Much better than your average reincarnator/regressor/cultivator with unlimited cheats and luck999999. Saw review complaining about MC making mistakes, how f#cking unexpected humans make mistakes, just wow. I am not saying that it is interesting to watch retarded MC who is plainly stupid, but everyone for some reason always wants to see MC who makes no mistakes(regressors hello).

    mediocre work, you can read if things are thin. ms is incredibly dumb.
    1. tells everyone that he has a rare class.
    2. moves in time to do the same, I know that nothing will change (chasing at night with a scorpion)
    3. does not think about others when fighting, I constantly hear, "I forgot to throw debuff again"
    4. I completely became reckless with time
    and much more..

    Have read up to current chapter here (67) as well as 10 more patreon chapters I found elsewhere (77). Overall it's pretty decent, but i'm dropping it both due to how annoying some of the side characters are, but mostly because the MC keeps becoming less observant and kinda stupid.

    There are some examples of him being stupid within these current chapters as well, such as taking a dangerous fight (whilst not having a rewind use) and making stupid decisions during it
    . This fight puts him in a life threatening state, but despite levelling up he doesn't utilise his stat points at all despite the fact that they would definetly help
    it takes until after he has recovered and gained another level to realise this.

    In a meta sense I think i understand why the author made him not utilise these stat points. MC has made it clear that currently he needs to prioritise things that will help him in the moment rather than long term. Currently every single stat point he gains he just dumps into Conjuration to increase his MP and MP regen. In that situation, more conjuration would have been useless. So rather than bring it up and have him put the points elsewhere out of necessity, author decided to make it so that MC just forgets about the points entirely until he is in a position where he is able to just dump them into conjuration again.

    The main examples of all these issues are between chaps 67-77, so will put it in spoilers. For a non-detailed summary:
    MC takes way too long to notice something fairly obvious.


    MC has a spell that will clearly help things, but waits until he has run out of rewind uses before using it.


    MC makes a plan and decides to rewind in order to utilise it and does so without getting any benefit from the rewind before it.


    Elite soldiers become insane levels of stupid.


    The female lead is also just kinda...there. After his stupid decision that almost killed him, he agreed with her that he will listen to her more and she will get involved more in planning etc. But in the main fight after that, mentioned in the spoilers above, she is just...there. She doesn't figure anything out. She doesn't really give any advice or help other than firing a fire blast to protect him from something/someone during a fight like twice.

    I haven't read the novel yet. But I know that I have nothing to do. One synopsis is enough. X2
