I’m an Infinite Regressor, But I’ve Got Stories to Tell Chapter 485

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!

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.
