Synopsis

[The Infinite Regression Genre]
Look in any fantasy novel, and you’ll find that regression is a guaranteed cheat code!
But what about the ability of Infinite Regression?
There’d be no need to worry about bad endings, not when the protagonist can simply reset to reach that eventual happy ending.
“Cheat code, my ass.”
I tried it myself just to find out otherwise.
The myths of regressors’ successes depicted in all those novels are actually fake…
It was all just vile propaganda!
“This run is doomed too.”
This is not a story of success. It’s a tale of the aftermath of failures.
Thus begins the heartfelt biography of a man with 1,183 runs of experience!

📂 System Interface: The Infinite Blueprint

I’m an Infinite Regressor, But I’ve Got Stories to Tell is a completed, psychological deconstruction of the regression genre (485 chapters). Written by Sinnoa (the author of SSS-Class Suicide Hunter), it abandons the linear “zero-to-hero” path for a non-linear, episodic biography of a man who has failed to save the world 1,183 times.

The story is told through the eyes of the Undertaker, a regressor who has lived for tens of thousands of years. Instead of a “cheat code,” regression is a burden of memory. The world is infested with Anomalies—corrupted concepts and eldritch horrors that cannot be defeated with simple brute force, but requires understanding the “stories” behind them.

Component	Classification	Tactical Implication
Non-Linear Narrative	Story Structure	Tales are told out of order (e.g., Run #1000 followed by Run #50) to build emotional layers rather than stats.
Conceptual Corruption	World Mechanic	Monsters aren’t just beasts; they are corrupted ideas (e.g., the “Trolley Problem” manifesting as a real death trap).
Mental Fatigue	Core Conflict	The MC’s primary struggle is preserving his sanity across tens of thousands of years of repeated tragedy.
Meta-Commentary	Thematic Lens	The novel deconstructs tropes like “Why are Constellations always in Korea?” with cynical, brilliant logic.

📂 System Interface: The Status Window (Undertaker)

Attribute	Classification	Description
Experience	1,183 Runs	He has lived through thousands of variations of the apocalypse. He is ancient, mature, and deeply eccentric.
Core Ability	Storytelling / Memory	His greatest weapon isn’t a sword, but his knowledge of the “Concepts” governing the world’s anomalies.
Mental State	Fragilely Intact	He uses “vacation cycles” (e.g., running a supermarket with fairies) to prevent his psyche from collapsing.
Social Lens	Perceptive Mentor	He views allies not as tools, but as precious, consistent souls whose quirks he has memorized over eons.

Editor's Note

💡 Meta-Commentary. The novel asks: "Why do constellations always watch Korea?" and "What is the true cost of a perfect run?" It analyzes the genre while living within it.

Concept-Based Horror. Anomalies are inspired by SCP-style entities. A corrupted "tunnel" concept might manifest every historical tunnel accident at once.

Non-Linear Genius. You might read about Run #900, then jump back to Run #20, then see a "vacation" in Run #1100. These threads eventually weave into a masterpiece of world-building.

Humanity Over Action. If you want 100 chapters of training montages, this isn't it. If you want a story about a man drinking coffee with a dead friend while reminiscing about the taste, you're in the right place.

"The end justified the means, but what if there never is an end? All we have are the means."

Experience Curve

Ch. 1–50 (The Memoir Begins): ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ – Breathtaking. Chapter 17 is cited by readers as one of the most emotional, nihilistic, yet beautiful openings in webnovel history.

Ch. 51–300 (The Tapestry): ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ – Masterful. The episodic tales of fairies, "Potato Saintesses," and tragic anomalies build an incredibly rich, complex world.

Ch. 301–End (The Final Conclusion): ⭐⭐⭐⭐ – Weighty. The non-linear threads begin to converge, leading to a conclusion that focuses on the emotional payoff of 1183 failures.

WebNovelDB Review

9 /10

A rare "literary" masterpiece in the webnovel sphere that treats regression as a psychological trauma rather than a game mechanic.

Writing Quality: 10/10. Sinnoa’s prose is delicate, philosophical, and capable of shifting from absurdist humor (communist fairies) to gut-wrenching tragedy in a single paragraph.

Character Design: 9/10. The Undertaker is a pinnacle of the "Old Soul" archetype. The supporting cast—like Oh Dok-seo and the Saintess—feel like real people with shifting facets across different timelines.

World Building: 10/10. A brilliant system where "Concepts" (like the Trolley Problem or History) become corrupted. It is one of the most creative "Hunter/Gate" worlds ever written.

Pacing: 5/10. Extremely slow and episodic. It wanders aimlessly by design. Those looking for a "Main Quest" focus will find the time-skips and tangents frustrating.

The Good: The emotional depth is unparalleled. It manages to make you care about characters even though you know they will be reset. The humor is sophisticated and often references pop culture and literature (like Animal Farm).

The Bad: The non-linear structure can be confusing for casual readers. Some "serious" action scenes are glossed over with a "it was hard but I won" summary, which can feel anticlimactic for action junkies.

The Archetype: The "Weary Chronicler." He isn't a hero trying to win; he's a man trying to remember the beauty of a world that keeps erasing itself.

Verdict: A "Must-Read" for fans of ORV or SSS-Class Suicide Hunter who want a story that prioritizes the "soul" of a journey over the "stats" of the destination.
