inb4 Dark is almost losing
then he's almost winning
then something happens
and it's a draw, so... oh well
because this manhwa refuses to allow things to just happen. I do wonder why I still read this.

What is this? This is not_Berserk.

Honestly? Do I even need to elaborate? Mr. Main Character is more-or-less an entity fueled by the desire for revenge/vengeance/rage/anger/etc. Some guy waltzed in, acted one way, and then betrayed everyone. Mayhem ensues and Mr. Main Character is left, arguably barely alive and very much seeking one thing in his life.

And from this manhwa, from when he was just a kid:

I'm too lazy to find a panel to screenshot him screaming as a grown up. Edit: see reply

What this manhwa doesn't excel at is the overall plot. It's quite is mehhhh. It does that thing where you start off with the setup already prepped, but a dozen chapters in, it goes through "how did this all happen?" phases and then 50 chapters later, it goes into the bad guy's origin story. I gotta say, I don't care about the bad guy. He gets like THREE grand reveals on who he is and all that, etc etc but who cares? Can we get to the part where Not_Guts fights him already? Enough introducing new minions that we have to get through first!

It's also worth noting that I don't think Mr. Main Character got any stronger from the start of the manhwa until the end. It pretends that he did, with him getting new forms and all that but they're like adding posters to a wall -> the wall's integrity isn't being supported by a poster that's hanging on it. It's just the manhwa's author had a story to tell and he can't have Mr. Main Character win so... "oh look, he lost. Moving on."

So, powerscaling is a wash.

Listen, if you want to see big angry guy that's not Guts turn into a big angry dragon, then look no further. Beyond that, don't expect too much. 6/10 I guess

Now, I don't need to do this because you can just read the manhwa, but I thought to provide a couple of screenshots anyway.

Spoiler alert:
This manhwa features a regressor who has reached their limit. They've done everything they possibly could but failed nonetheless. He took his friends, allies, and trained them up as much as possible. He figured out the culprits causing problems and got rid of them -> which lead to new problems that killed him. This regressor keeps regressing and getting stronger and stronger. He clears out the culprits again -> those same new problems pop up -> he gets rid of them this time -> and again -> and again -> and finally, the "final boss" figure... he can't win. Straight up, he can't win. There is no meme here, he cannot win.
Strategize as he might, he cannot win
Build teams and strengthen them to become the strongest people on the planet, he cannot win
Power-up as he might, he can't even control himself, but even still he cannot win
Try as he might, with anything and everything possible, he cannot win
He even begs an oracle for help. She glares at him, big eye staring at his eyes telling him... "Give up, you can't win." Credit to him, he didn't give up... yet.
Eventually, he runs away. He had a crush on someone and begs her to leave with him. They live happily for a decade, then the world ends. What does he do? He does it again. Again. And again and again.

At this point. everyone is an NPC to him; even her, practically being just a puppet. He says something and people respond with something he already heard. This time, as the world around them is ending, he confesses everything to her and... she ponders for a bit; what could she do now that she has never done before? She asks him to kill her and then never find her again; let this last memory he has of her feature her as a person and not an NPC. She refuses to be nothing more than a puppet.

So he does, and goes nearly insane, rampages against the final boss, obviously loses, and regresses once again.

What's left? Well, if you can't beat'em, join them? The final boss offered this path so, at least it's something new, right? This leads us to the timeline that is the start of this manhwa: everyone getting abilities through a program that he setup to speed up the final boss's plans. This "spawns" in Mr. Main Character and his potential is so high that when the regressor kills the oracle, she still tells him his fortune... and it is to "Not Give Up." ... Is this a joke?

Here's a thought that popped into my mind as I typed this: What makes this different from the garbage that is "Kill the Hero?" One thing: it earns every ounce of feelings that it stirred within me. It is NOT some superficial garbage along the lines of "look! It's a person! Oh look! he stubs his toe and feels pain! Isn't he so relatable? Now look! He's dead! CRY! DO IT! CRY! CRY!" Bah! Screw you!

This looks like a run-of-the-mill dungeon hunter genre. It has all the usual things: video game menus, stats, skills, abilities, dungeons and stuff.

Why read this one? Well, as the title and cover art shows: Mr. Main Character's ability is a unique on: clones. His clones are, and this is important: actual clones and not holograms/illusions. If they get stronger, he gets the benefits. If they get hurt, he doesn't feel it.

Where does this go from here? Well, it certainly went far. When I say "far," I really mean FAR! Like, I was hooked as all the little triggers that were spread around -> get pulled all at once and a big ol' plot pops off.

Honestly? I have so much to yap about but it is complete spoilers, so I'll make a reply to this with all that (character limit go brrrrrrrr).

But if you ask me? Honestly? 10/10. I don't give this score lightly and I know some would disagree but I really liked this.

Interesting. This is just a manga based on the dungeon hunter genre. Take everything you know about the genre from popular works such as Solo Leveling, Kill the Hero, Golem Dungeon Rush, etc etc -> and instead of it being another manhwa, it's a manga. Do you know what that means?

I have a feeling I know what it means... but I haven't read it yet. I just read chapter 1. Chapter 1 is really directly targeting Solo Leveling with Mr. Main Character dying brutal deaths -> but look, video game menus!
Again, this is just chapter 1 alone but like... Who is Mr. Main Character? Why him? He doesn't deserve it. If anything, he REALLY doesn't deserve it but the mangaka behind this work is just throwing more power on him to make sure he succeeds so he (the mangaka) can tell this story. Not a great start, tbh.

Will I read it? Probably.

I like the dungeon hunter genre and, I'll have you know that this is important: you should read garbage of the genre you like. I'm serious! Think about it: without something bad, how can you anything good still maintain its "good" standard. A star alone is brilliant... for a while. You get used to the shine and eventually, in your eyes, it fades despite the star's shine not changing at all. But, take that star and put it next to a dumpster. Now, every single time the star's shine dims a bit, you focus on the dumpster for a moment and the star's shine is rekindled all over again. Everything the star did right shines all the more brilliantly compared to the dumpster's failures.

With all that said, maybe this isn't a dumpster of the genre. Who knows? I will after some time goes by.

You don't have to kill the king if you just magic him FAR AWAY and mute him. Also change his outfit. He is a commoner until proven otherwise. If he can't talk and is in a foreign land, he will die a miserable beggar's death.

Sigh... mixed feelings when a nice work is complete. o7

A review? Uh... this is actually just slice of life. I usually don't read this genre but this one is actually good. It isn't filled with kids exploring the magical goal of "making friends." No. If you're looking for generic lonely loser wastes of time, go else where.

Mr. Main Character is just some dude. He lives alone with his cute cat.

One day, the titular "wife from a thousand years ago" pops up and shenanigans ensue.

A few things: 1) as I said, this isn't a lonely loser sort of work. The characters are, surprise! Characters! They're adults who live normal lives and life simply proceeds until the manhua ends.
2) The romance is well executed. The idea pops up and is toyed with a few times, but overall, it comes off with some real thought behind it. Some other works waste your time by wasting away like 100 chapters until finally, the characters who are blatantly crushing on each other -> finally say/do anything about it.
In short: if the author of this says "yeah, I'm married" then I'd be like "I'd believe it." Meanwhile in other wastes of time, the author comes off as an insecure loser who never had friends.
Ya'll are lucky I don't want to throw any comics/authors under the bus right now. lol
3) It is slow. It is a slice of life after all. Most of the "action" happens early on but it is overall slow and cozy.

It is a chill and fun read overall where you read the next chapter to see the characters doing some shenanigans and stuff. I didn't binge read it as I picked it up a long time ago before I made my "only reading completed works" rule so I don't know if it would be really engaging to read all at once. Maybe it is. I dunno.

Aaaaaaaanyway, all that praise out of 10. I do recommend it.

While yes, most people on the eastern continent do obey the yangbans, a name I can't stop finding funny for some reason -> there are groups that resist them. That's not here nor now. That's laaaaaaaater.

The author is having fun throwing +1 into Nie Li's harem (that he arguably doesn't want)

It has been a while, but I do not recall her being so infatuated with him. Loyal, yes, but not like this.
