Past Life Returner전생자

Got to Chapter 50 and the MC who was previously extremely smart and meticulous, became a reckless idiot out of nowhere.

He made a dumb decision pretty early on by skipping the "tutorial" 6 months after his rebirth, which basically skipped forward like 12+ years for him, leaving his body on autopilot. His reasoning didn't make sense either - he wanted to spend time with his parents...so he skipped forward 12+ years?

But after that, he goes heavy into finance and stocks stuff which was kinda confusing/boring to read at times, but a good difference from usual regressors as well as an excellent showcase of how smart and meticulous the MC was.

Even when the majority of the stuff that was being mentioned was all weird finance and political talk, it was great seeing an MC that was PROPERLY utilising his Regression to make billions.

But then, when he decides to challenge his first Dungeon in this life, he suddenly throws all of that out of the window.

He obtains an extremely rare Revival Insignia that basically gives anyone who has it a 1UP, yet he chooses to transfer it to his normal father, who isnt in any danger, rather than keep it for himself - which makes no sense given he is putting himself in danger by trying to solo a Dungeon when he is much weaker and out of practice now.

He goes into the Dungeon with some food, water, basic medicine, a sword and dagger. That's it.
He controls BILLIONS, yet doesn't gear himself up at all. We are told that electrical devices don't work in the Dungeon, but there are SO MANY other things he could have brought with him.
Bows? Crossbows? Guns? Bombs? Explosives? Etc.
But more significantly than weapons imo, he doesn't prepare ANY armor for himself. Like none.
He has been in this Dungeon in his initial life, and knows about the dangers. Yet he just wears his normal clothes.
You'd think someone with his wealth would buy some custom-made armor, or at the very least some basic stab-proof stuff.

He has a skill which basically gives his attacks lightning damage for 30 minutes, with a 1 day cooldown. Yet he chooses to wait until after his first fight, when he is injured, before using it.
Surely if you're extremely weaker than you're used to and are rusty, you would start off with your 30 minute buff to help you get back into the swing of things? Especially given his initial plan was never to complete all the quests. But nope. Not here.

His whole fighting style seems to not exist as well. He basically acts like a completely newbie when fighting them, despite previously being told that the reason he survived so long was by being slow and methodical when clearing dungeons before. It just doesn't seem plausible at all given how scared and pathetic he comes across as when fighting. He supposedly opposed some of the major figures in his past life, yet there's not even a hint of that here. He acts even worse than a complete noob here - since even they would at least bring some armor into a monster infested Dungeon. Especially if they had his foreknowledge.

It seems most people don't seem to have an issue with this, since a few of the comments on these chapters which point this out have a lot of downvotes, but I personally find this a pretty major issue.

Seon-Hu –the MC– is one of the very few MCs that managed to work his reincarnation memories to his favor, in full. 100%. at least to me personally, i don't see even one thing he failed to change for the better. he make bread, he workout, he loves and cares about his parents and they love and care about him, he made few friends which he could entrust his life to, and he learned to accept their care and love despite his past. it's like he's the only one who successful at reincarnation business, the rest fumbles at one point or another



this is one of the complex stories where depending on your point of view (and maybe the chapters you're on), all you can see are bad things thus deepens your preconceived take which is humanity is shit, or you can look at many other aspects that makes you appreciate our species.

although as the story goes things getting darker, cluttered, desperate, and not many things left to be excited about, do remember who's always there with him. remember his Knights, his parents, believers, and of course.. The Bitch, who's always be his main strength. while he's the one who propped up the sky, they're the ones who propped up his life and sanity

honorable mention for the FL, . she just made my new #1 best FL

7/7. cause 5 is simply not enough for this one

Can someone tell me the disruption of this monster idk if I missed it or did the author just not say what they look like “Kciphos“

Can someone tell me around which chapter apocalypse type things with gates and stuff happen. Or at least when the mc gets older and comes out of the shadows. It’s pretty decent where I’m at (ch 61) but when he said it’ll be 20 years before the gates start opening I got a little scared. The aging is pretty slow so I’m wondering if he’ll keep doing business mostly and secretly go to the dungeons which isn’t bad because I’ve read a lot of business novels but I’m feeling like reading some action right now. I can wait if it’s not too long from now

Great read. My only complaint is the names. Literally can’t remember any of the names except for the Mc and his girl. Had to find myself going back previous chapters and control f all the names. Probably because all the characters become the mc’s lackey. In my mind I refer to all the characters as lackey #1, lackey #2 and so on.

Is there romance?

This story is really interesting and it provides a more realistic look at two genre's that's been in the webnovel scene for a relatively long time; hunters/dungeons & regressors. It is well written and seems to be well thought out. The problem with it is the slow pace.

If you are looking for action, this definitely isn't what you want. A majority of the first 100 chapters (at least) are about stocks and investments. The author is trying to keep everything realistic so expect a lot of detail when it comes to these things. I personally found it quite interesting but it does seen to drag for a long time before getting to the system side of things.

On that note, the system is not a level system. This means there isn't a clear or fast method of getting stronger which inevitably drags things on more. This isn't necessarily a bad thing though, it makes the story seem a lot more rooted in reality.

All in all, an interesting novel that could be exactly what you're looking for or the exact opposite. Not exactly a fun read but not boring either. While it doesn't seem to info-dump, it would do well to pick up the pace a bit (if not a lot).
