Record of a Thousand Lives일천회귀록

This is the most toxic comment section I think I've ever seen. I'm gonna assume it's representative of the novel and give it a hard pass.

It was a thorough disappointment. He got f#cked for 999 lives but still thinks reasonably and that's the most absurd thing about this book. Author had no idea how to present the character. A person who has lived same life for 999 times would never question himself but mc does on multiple occasions it's absurd.
And personally mc is a pushover the way he is presented it doesn't feel like he's even trying his 100%.

Good Novel, you can see if you like just reading the sinopse.
i remember read this novel in 2018 and i ejoyed

Not a bad start i guess,
might as well take one for the team..lol

Let's do a Question answer review, but spoiler warning first

Q. How is the translation and pacing of this novel?

Ans. Translation is done well enough for you to not raise any questions as for pacing, it's fast unnecessarily so, but knowing that it's completed there is nothing we can do about it not that there was anything we could have done when it was ongoing.

Q. How good is story, how is progress of plot?

Ans. Story in itself is Kill Demon Lord LitRPG generic Korean novel story. The pacing like I said is fast and rather than 'watching' it from MC's perspective we are give notes on various events that happen around MC, In short the plot is inconsistent and leaves a lot to be desired.

Ex, We were first shown MC after his regression and then plot directly jumps to some hobos trying to kill him which instead results in them getting killed themselves, and next moment MC is in some Dungeon grinding his level with another group brain dead side characters who are only there to watch MC in shock and awe or covet his possessions.

There is nothing inbetween, like literally nothing, while I don't like info dumps (I mean no one likes those) this novel even lacks substance.

Q. How is the Main Character, how are the side characters?

Ans. If someone asks me what is the worst drawback of this novel then this is it.

Now I don't how I person would act if they lived for 18000 years and died a thousand times with their memories of every life intact, I mean who would, but we can take a guess; either the person would totally brake, loosing all their will and await their death or they would continue pushing in hope one day they might achieve the Impossible, in the later case their will is indomitable and they will stop at nothing to achieve their goal.

Now the problem is we have got an MC who instead of fully focusing on his own growth and making plans for his success Is going around telling people of their evil deeds they had committed, mostly of the grievances he had from his past life and bestows upon them justice (just like the person below said justice porn).

Now I know that MC is also Leveling up his stats and growing stronger but the way he is doing things isn't ideal at all, instead he should try to find allies and use every possible way to grow stronger and nurture so that they may provide even a minuscule of help during his fight against Demon Lord.
As for side characters like I said they are only there for shock and awe effects or watching MC disgust or underestimate him just to get killed shortly after. They lack the substance to them and are completely one dimensional.

Q. What do you wish for to change in this novel?

Ans. If, I am just saying IF, author did a plot twist at the end of the novel where MC after a long winded battle with Demon Lord looses and dies instead of pulling a miracle to magically win then it might deserve another half star.

Q. And How much does it deserve currently?

Ans. 3 stars barely for me but generally it only deserves 2.5 stars out of 5.

~Thank you for taking your time to answer questions~

If he could not kill him those 999 times before wat makes a difference now

It's not bad overall. Quite generic system apocalypse with MC collecting shitload of different powers post haste.

My only complaint would be about author using cheap tropes like comically evil villains for unnecessary fan service due to protag delivering justice porn. Novel is quite short about 200 chaps and for example

The sheer amount of edge contained in the synopsis + picture is almost palpable.

Quite intresting. The mc is someone who has died to the same demon emperor and has traveled all paths. Literally, all paths to try and kill that being.

Sheesh
