WebNovelDB Review

8 /10
A dark, melancholic, and addictively brilliant reimagining of the time loop. This is no power fantasy about becoming strong enough to rule; it is instead a desperate, tragic quest for understanding and protection. Every loop in which the skeleton soldier fails and is reborn reveals another layer of this endlessly fascinating and mysteriously bleak world. The atmosphere is remarkably dark and RPG-like for a power progression manhwa. The emotional foundation, centered on his unswerving devotion to Lady Succubus, injects an immense amount of warmth into a franchise with otherwise cold potential. Get set for a slow-burning mystery, wherein every death is an education, and every revelation leads only to new questions.
