Synopsis
"Regression of The Puppet Emperor" is a tale of betrayal, redemption, and vengeance set in a world of swords and sorcery. Mikhail Robinette D'Arcy Ironforge, once a disillusioned office worker named Albert Mannery, finds himself reborn as the fourth prince of the Tiberian Empire.
Gifted with memories of his past life and a mysterious System granting him extraordinary potential, Mikhail believes he's been given a second chance at greatness. However, fate has other plans. Sabotaged during a crucial magical ritual, Mikhail's mana heart is shattered, leaving him powerless in a world where strength is everything.
Branded as the "Crippled Prince," he endures years of humiliation, betrayal, and political manipulation as various inexplicable circumstances led to him being crowned as the emperor of this vast kingdom.
Without the magical or martial might to enforce his will, Mikhail becomes a mere figurehead, a puppet dancing to the strings pulled by cunning nobles and power-hungry courtiers. Every decree he issues is ignored or twisted, every attempt at reform thwarted. He watches helplessly as his empire crumbles around him, unable to protect even himself, let alone his people.
In his dying moments, Mikhail activates a legendary Temporal Anchor, sending his consciousness back in time to the day of the fateful ritual. Armed with the bitter wisdom of his failures and a burning desire for vengeance, Mikhail vows to rewrite his destiny.
Now, a man with the mind of a seasoned emperor in the body of a young prince, Mikhail must navigate the treacherous waters of imperial politics, unravel the secrets of magic and cultivation, and turn his greatest weaknesses into strengths. In a world that once broke him, can Mikhail forge a new path and claim the power he was denied? Or will the weight of fate prove too heavy even for a twice-reborn emperor?

As you can see by the amount of votes i was a fan of this novel unfortunately the author is dishonest about the content of the novel, he is shackled by the same cliche and disgusting incel behavior thay majority of authors on webnovel suffer. There would be absolutely no freaking problem if he said in either the tags or comments what the story would be. But he lied and made it seem like it’s a revenge story with a puppet king who takes back his rightful throne. Which didn’t happen the mc is a pathetic little twirp who feels guilty for the girls who betrayed him and wants to help and save them.

Since it has become customary for authors to provide the first review, I will do so as well. As I've stated elsewhere, this is my first stab at this type of format. My days are usually filled with the drudgery of copywriting for corporate clients, and it's slowly draining my soul, I have found writing this story to be a welcome relief from the monotony of my actual copywriting job. Although I hope I won't have to do this too often, as the story progresses I may have to come back to early chapters to retcon one or two minor things periodically. I will never nerf Mikhail, that's a promise I wish to keep. As much as I've planned ahead, there are some things that just happen, or seem more exciting or thrilling to have, and so I come back to the beginning to make sure it all makes sense. This is a story of revenge, but it will become something more in the future. This is a story of one man's journey of retribution and redemption, in the distant future it'll also become a story about what it means to wield power. I hope you like it.
