I was surprised how much I loved this.

I've listen to quite a few stories that feature going back in time to stop at apocalypse. However, this one hits a somewhat differently.

It comes across as pretty much a slice of life, well still having that power fantasy of getting stronger.

He has all the tips and tricks from the future so we knows how to grow, but it's also not completely relying on that.

Instead of the normal route of becoming obscenely powerful and doing everything yourself, he acts on a plan that pushes knowledge of the dangers out to as many people as possible.

I also like how it's reflection of human nature.

Giving humans the tools to become pretty much demigods, while trapping the very means that system uses to impower them.

It was an ingenious way to doom humanity.

Great book.

Very fun book, well written with an interesting main character. The author has clearly never been to Vegas.

Great Book!

I really enjoyed how the main character decided to resolve the problems besides increasing his own power. There were so many good ideas that I do not think I would have thought of.

I also enjoy the system designed in the story. It allowed for such a unique progression for the characters. The classes most of us are familiar with and their associated talent trees are great. However, the truly amazing part was the additional "slots" that could have specific powers added into them which then allowed you the specialize your build and future evolutions were beautiful.

The final fight in the book was great to see as well. It stayed true to how the main character decided to solve his problems and was just a great ending.

Interesting take on time reversal

I went in with no real expectations and was pleasantly surprised with the direction on the story. usually a MC that experienced regression will farm and become the most powerful existence in their verse, but it's fresh to see the MC try and raise the entire world with his knowledge of the future. Not my favorite but over all really good. I'll definitely be picking up the next book.

A fresh take

It was good. If you read these things compulsively like I do, you may agree a new idea can be very fun.
