Orodan was an orphaned street rat who clawed his way to the county militia with hard work. However calamitous events unfold and draw him into events bigger than himself and Orodan's battle-loving disposition leads to a warrior's death for him. Only for him to wake up again on the day of.

In a world of skills, titles and blessings; a smart time looper would perhaps scheme, plan, amass equipment and allies. But not Orodan. If there's one thing he's good at it's stubbornly trying the same thing over and over again via brute force till it's done.

If a wall is in front, going around is not an option. Instead batter it with your head thousands of times till either the wall breaks or you do. And gain skill levels along the way. Collapse

      Alive and probably well. On royalroad there has been an announcement that the novel will enter a two-week hiatus so that the author can plan ahead. Chapters are usually released once or twice a week, not as frequently as other novels...

    To any1 like me who's dumb enough to not immediately read this thinking that there aren't enough chapters, my sincere advice would be to just do so.

      Studying at the academy and tournaments are the two worst parts of any job, but trust me, you shouldn't stop reading at this stage. I advise you to just skip the boring parts and read The History of the Academy as quickly as possible to move on. You won't regret it.

    Does anyone else dislike the dialogue in this? It’s common among most royal road novels.

    It feels unnatural, like everyone talks the exact same.

    I can never pinpoint why I can’t stand it

      I think it's the polite 10th century imitation of speaking that the author did surprisingly well

      I don’t like how the mc says old man after every sentence when talking to old men , literally the only part that irks me. Everything else is great.

    The reviews on RR are pretty funny. A whole bunch of guys complaining about realism. I’ll give this a 5/5 for the fun the first chapters gave but everything after he goes to the next continent feels pointless, he’s already basically the strongest in the world. I wish he grew much much slower so I could enjoy some more running into walls instead of talking.

    I like the very short lives best

      Do you actually believe that he is the strongest in the world in only a dozen chapters? The version of Orodan that left Inuan and fought the Eldritch Avatar gets stomped by hundreds, possibly thousands of beings in his world. Even now, in the current chapters, he is high up there, almost on par with the Eldtrich Avatar, he is still getting his ass kicked by beings from other worlds, pretty easily might I add.

        Loop means "He is the most powerful at the point the loop have started"
        As loop collapses time, it is literally a spell to became "The most powerful being in no time"
        And since he also have an absurd level of talent, and the way system is made, it is a sealed deal.

        I had some hope at the moment with gods, but death god was timely.

        And as the eldritch god incident shown, there literally no danger to him whatsoever.
        It is fine, as many regression novels have that.
        "SSS-Class Suicide Hunter" is the best comparison.
        But they a different, because "smashing through everything" is not a solution for presented problems.
        Also - In Suicide Hunter, his power, is limited on each level, and he can't really grind indefinitely.
        Because of that, he is forced to get help, what is obliviously problematic too.

        It is the way it is done with all OP MC that are around - push danger in other lines.
        Be it death of other people, mental damage (hello, metal resistance Lvl60), or any other type of suffering.


        Stubborn skill grinder on other hand... It is a moment of getting stronger indefinitely, stretched in to a novel. Since goals are meaningless, and there no danger, all what's left is "Number crunch" experience.
        Of getting stronger, killing gods, moving to the next level, killing outer gods, and etc.

        If you think that is fun, sure.

        What is also important, that it is a fake time loop novel, as it have a shell of regression, but nothing else.


        PS.
        Of course the biggest problem is the ways mc is stupid in.
        I am really impressed that he even understood to stay away from the soul correction.

        Considering him just fumbling, and getting used to clear some mine, exposing his strength.






        Here, world mission, was just dumped on him, and he accepted it without much thought.



        Like really? Watching a dumb guy level up is fun?

          He got this far only cause of his personality. The dude still grindes after getting soul damage and forgetting everything. The dude is a train, if you are in his way you are dead. Once he sets his mind nothing changes it, he doesn't even try to hide time loop as he doesn't care about death as shown from before the time loop, so if some one tries to use him either he dies or he kills them no in between he is a line with no deviation or doubt, Spoiler

            Sure? It seems cool for you? Whatever you say really.
            I am here as a last light for people who don't think that way, and look at the ratings.

            Of course it is also because for me, his personality is just infuriating.



            But I suppose, some, time-bending entity, will select someone like that to fulfil its goal.
            As someone with many thoughts can de-rail real fast.
            Of course that "train" he is here, can do the same, as it is impossible to negotiate with it.

            The main problem here, is that [title] could mean much more.
            As I have expected someone, [Lost in time loop] who's wholly point is to grind further.
            Something like "I am a Regressors. but I got stories to tell", But not about interesting stories. But weird, absurd and comedic grind, of a person who stubbornly grinds, even there no purpose to it.
            Mastering all the weapons, all the magic, all crafts.
            Kind like "Everyone Else is a Returnee" but not a time stop, but a loop.

            And then I saw that.... "Train" as you said. That seems to have put the point into speed run of all the possible arks for defeating gods, outer gods. etc.

              Have you tried The Perfect Run, it seems like your type, cunning mc, used to the loop, well built world, explained power( not like say the word, magic happen), and a good ending. There is more to say but I'm lazy

                Yes, of course.
                There really way too little, not even good, any time-loop novels to not to.

      Don't worry, the power scaling gets wacky, and even then, you will never see a fight where the MC uses all of his abilities because of his stupendous bull-like ways.

        I mean he got chosen for the time travel because of his mindset and will power, nothing could ever corrupt him, and you are someone smart nothing is good about offending a time traveller, his only weakness would be mind control but he can't be controlled.

          It is half a problem that it worked for him, most of the time.
          Like, as far as i am concerned in never really did.


          The problem is that they believed him at all. Not just "Okay, whatever you say"
          or something.

          Of course it is not a real problem, as for a parody, it is a fun idea.

          But at the same time it brakes underling point of regression / Time-Loop Stories



          PS. since when they are all that smart?
