I was putting it off because there really is a lot to say, but here it is:
What I really appreciate is how the author subtly expands the worldbuilding through each of his reincarnations. Even though the broad strokes of his life often follow the same general pattern, it never feels monotonous. There's always something new—a fresh insight, a new faction, or a twist that makes the world feel more alive and layered.
Basically, he can only live for a maximum of 50 years—and that’s only if he leads a relatively mundane life without pushing beyond a certain cultivation level. Advancing to major realms typically takes him an entire lifetime. And every time he dies, he has to start from scratch. While the process of recultivating tends to be slightly faster, it still eats away at his limited 50-year lifespan.
To make matters worse, the heavens themselves are actively working against him. Not only is his talent for martialarts and cultivation the shittiest, but divine forces intervene to stifle his progress whenever they can. For instance, at a certain stage in the Qi Foundation realm (I believe when trying to advance from level 6 to 7), the heavens must grant him their divine approval through a ritual. This celestial "seal of approval" is necessary to continue cultivating. But in his case, the heavens outright refuse. He ends up stuck, spending years constructing altars to the heavens and desperately pleading with the heavens—until he eventually forces his way through using a less-than-holy workaround.
Later, when he finally manages to extend his predestined lifespan to 300 years, only to discover—thanks to his predecessor from a past regression—that an eldritch like horror is hunting him across time. Yes, an ancient, unknowable entity is chasing him through lifetimes . And apparently, if he continues to grow stronger, it will eventually catch up to him. The only ways to avoid detection are:
1. Never, ever reveal to anyone that he is a regressor. If he has already told someone, he’s already doomed, regardless of whether he told them in a previous lifetime.
2. Live as mundane and unremarkable a life as possible, so the beast remains unable to accurately detect his presence.
This man seriously cannot catch a break. And this is only the tip of the iceberg. There's still the entire situations involving the Mad Lord (aka the Hunchback) and the dragon he meets at the start of every life, and so much more.
Prepare your hearts and minds, for this is a story of hard work and perseverance. This 2nd regression will technically be his first and last relatively peaceful and headache free life.
