aUthor, YoU cLeaRy DOn'T unDeRstAnD sWoRdsMeN wHy WoUlD tHey LaUgH? Hey, author here. As of now, I have written 45 chapters, though they haven't all been posted. I have been having a lot of fun writing and even editing (which is normally a nightmare!). As such, it feels like I'm going against myself with this one-star review, but whatever, lol. Now, can I promise a perfect story? No, I do think there are some flaws in a multitude of areas, but it is one I have confidence in. So what is the plot? At first glance, this may seem like RE: zero dark version, but it's not that. The main character, Apollo, only dies repeatedly at the start. From there, he develops split personalities. One is a silly innocent child, and the other a psychotic murderer. His initial goal is revenge, but he does not know who exactly betrayed him. The first major story arc will be centered around this. The reason why I gave this novel the Evil Mc tag is because of how Apollo wishes to solve problems. He hates the world he lives in. For him, his solution was to destroy it. Apollo will experience what morals are and tends to solve his problems through mass murder. As for more details, they are spoilers, at least in my opinion. If I am being honest, I think writing this book is bad for my mental health, lol. Going through so many murders and freakouts can cause subtle changes to my mind. But, it's too fun to stop now. Hope you enjoy!

I loved it very much. I didn't like the starting Willow arc but you can just skip to chapter 16 where he takes vengeance on both willow and his mom (she doesn't die but she did get emotionally hurt a lot).

I have been reading for about 3-4 days and am currently at chapter 226. The Writing Quality of this novel is amazing, as I either see no mistakes or my bein auto-corrects it before I can register it as a mistake. Stability of Updates, I guess this is a auto 5-star since when I started there were about 350 chapters. The Story Development (2 star) is where we hit a bump, you had in the first half, but when I got to about chapter 100 everything starting going downward. To be more specific, chapter 100-120 were actually really interesting to me, but then it just spirals into chapters all about fighting and more fighting and more fighting, just to let you know, the general chapters I'm talking about are 130-200, yea all the way to 200, I was literally saying in my head just please leave the Empire and go somewhere else now. For a face-paced story such as this one, it really threw off my motivation to read further, but read further I did. Character design is more of a 3 star to me, I like how none of them are normal and I like that, but it feels like there was more potential in there, you just didn't squeeze it all out. Last, but probably the one with the most potential, is the World Background. I can tell that your world is vast, with many peculiar things scattered all around, but yea, that's it. I don't really know anything else, there is the Empire, the city, the villages, the demons, and the random powerful dudes. You didn't give too much in-depth information on it, so overall, its a 3, tbh would have been a two, but b/c I really do think the world background has a lot of potential, I'll give a 3. Thanks for anyone who has read up to this point, I shall be off.

the story isn't going in any clear direction and the characters are discarded and non-important, they show up once and we get a bit of an info dump on them and they either die or make no impact on the story. the only thing keeping the mc alive is plot armour and some things that are happening make no logical sense. we didn't get a lot of world-building and the one we got is all over the place. last updated: 1 month ago.

This is a very interesting novel. It is essentially told from the point of view of someone (at least slightly) insane and explores a consequence of a time loop scenario in a fantasy world. I have read to chapter 37.

Other than some things that don't make sense imo - (spoilers) - like willow accepting Apollo just because he called her mommy going so far to even cry? like tf and then Apollo is shown as a "dumb"-ish kid but talks about maya being proud of herself which is way above the intelligence he has shown earlier while not suiting his personality

Description, the first thing is that he is a nice hero who got mad at stupidity and naivety, and by coincidence of the legendary (stupid) the assassin who tried to kill him of course would be a beautiful woman and so after he got mad from repeated killing attempts, he considered her his mother, yes his mother (No, you are wrong not because she is a beautiful woman only because he went crazy if He was a man who would be considered by his mother as the important thing) Of course, in combat, he becomes an unparalleled genius as is the case in other novels, but in the rest of the cases I am just a laughing idiot
