She should have refused... Oh well.

Not sure if your comment is a joke. Mine was...

This chapter restored my faith in mc

You are right, I completely forgot about that. Now it makes sense.

I don't remember her using magic even once. At what chapter does she do that?

And how do you explain Lortel getting 2nd place?

Some of the characters look like 3D figures or traced from a 3D model, sure. But I'm pretty sure it's not AI. I don't see any of the tell-tale signs that it is AI, coming from an artist. Though I might be wrong.

It's remarkable how much the art has improved since ch 1. The translation as well, with the new translator at the end of season 1.

The plot is messy. Many characters only exist for the main character. The rule of cool triumphs causality. And all of that is fine as well.

This story knows what it is and embraces its flaws, which becomes a boon. It rarely grows stale or bland, and though it might not be perfect, it is def a nice read.

How the hell did Lortel get 2nd place? I've never seen her fight once, and wasn't the practical exam supposed to be the main one? Also, which professor did the rest of them fight? It's like the whole world evolves around Ed and nothing happens off-panel.

The art is definitely levelling up along the MC.

I can't believe they would do the hottest character in the story in like that...

BOB the builder, can we do it? BOB the builder, yes we can!

We can build you a hut or a steaming hot relationship; nothing is impossible. Just don't ask for privacy, that... is an impossible task.

If I remember correctly, Ed has a one-time-use item that reverses the effects of time on wounds.

The infamous 50th chapter. Was told the story would escalate from here on, so let's see.

Would be weird if she got smaller

I would have failed right then and there... Damn she's hot.

Yes, you are right. The plot is actually not that different in RMM, as you said. What is different is the execution.

Does this Taylor guy need to die before MC realises his own impact? WAKE UP ALREADY!

You really think that?

Here are some regression stories that I think are superior in every respect:

For something similar to this, read: The Regressed Mercenary's Machinations.

For stories centred around high society, read: A Stepmother's Fairy Tale.
