A Knight Who Eternally Regresses

I have never made a review for any book ever. I say this to further emphasize just how great this book is. It is one of the best interpretations of a weak to strong story ever made. It seems so simple at first until you realize you’ve hit chapter 48 and it still feels like the growth is right. Most of these stories start off great and then turn to shit but somehow the author has an impeccable sense of writing that FORCES you to be enjoyed. There is almost no exposition yet the world building is great. It feels like I’m learning about the world with the character which is insanely difficult for most authors. Next up the characters are beautifully made, especially our main character. in the most recent chapter (chapter 96) as I was reading about his backstory I thought about how it seems as if he likens using the sword as a substitute for having a family. Lo and behold, right after he says the sword is his family. That type of characterization that made me understand the character so much that I could PREDICT his thoughts has almost never happened to me before. I could keep going on and on about the story but I think this is enough to get you to just start reading it as I wouldn’t want anything to be spoiled for you!

I came after reading the manhwa seeking more, this far surpassed my expectations, 10/10

After checking out the manhwa, I immediately had to come find the novel. This type of story isn't particularly uncommon, and I've read a few different manga and LN takes on it. Many of those stories tend to get overly bogged down in the psychological toll of the scenario, though. While that's a fun and interesting aspect to explore, it does get stale after a while. There's very little of that here, though, and only used sparingly and reasonably. The focus of the story is an incredibly thorough breakdown of the main character's growth on the battlefield and his tenacious will to use every loop to become stronger than the last one no matter who tries to bring him down physically or mentally. These stories can be challenging to write because of required determinations on what to include in the repeated days and what to skip over. However, the author does an extremely good job with the pacing and manages to never make it feel repetitive but also never skips ahead in a way that makes it feel like you missed any of the action. As for the loops, if they're taking a psychological toll, then it would be an inverse of the norm in these types of stories. It seems to drive him towards an ever growing madness and fortitude to become stronger. It's a very fun read with an mc more akin to Guts from Berserk (strong, driven, and stoic) than a young man who needs to go through the same personal growth arc you've read a million times. Quite often these stories tend to fall apart a couple hundred chapters in as the writer loses focus and direction but having read what's there so far, I'm pretty confident that won't be an issue here. It's worth the read for sure.

An absolute masterpiece. It has great pacing; the protagonist becomes stronger slowly but surely, purely through his own efforts, and there are no deux ex machina bullshit power ups. Story is great, and I love the worldbuilding. A grungy, low fantasy world where magic is rare and poorly understood. I also like the mystery surrounding the knights, who seem to surpass the limits of human abilities through some unknown method or training unknown to both the characters and the reader.

love this novel, and I never actually read a novel before, this is the first and probably the only one I'll ever read haha, i came after reading the manhwa, love the author work, and I look forward every night to reading the new chapter, hopefully it will keep on being consistent and again, hopefully, the author won't repeat the mistakes he made with "The story of a low-rank soldier becoming a monarch".

I really can't get enough of this novel. Character Development of MC is always to be looked forward to, dragging all the other characters to develop too! Humor is good enough. I wish updates will be more frequent but that is asking too much. I'm currently 33 years old and hoping to read this novel everyday without end. Hopefully I will read that Enki will be a knight before I die. Thank you Author!

did something happend to the auther?

This novel is amazing. I’m up to day with the manhwa for this and it is really good too. Just wondering like where did you learn to write? The writing style is amazing! Actually tell me how you got so good. I need to know!

I came here after reading Manhwa, But in 3 days I read 140 chapters, that is how much I like this novel. I read other novels that the character building is so fast, MC become too much powerful in few chapters.

Good novel but terrible translator charging hundreds of dollars for unreleased chapters. Imagine paying $1000 to read a book they didn't even write. Shameless. Can find full translation online if you look hard enough with no MTL.

This novel is very interesting and will pull you in. As long as you can look past what seem to be a few minor translation errors where himself seems to always be typed as “himsfairy” which I couldn’t find a proper explaination for as well as many instances of her and him getting mixed up which can make it confusing to tell who is actually talking or acting sometimes,Although mainly I’d just like to stop seeing himsfairy pop up. But like I said very few errors and a very awsome story so far.

I really enjoy regression stories, this one is definitely worth a read and a top 3 in all regression stories. give it a read although the mc is a bit bleak at times and the mental aspect of regression is a bit downplayed It's still really solid.

One of the better reads out there. You will be invested in the story, the protagonist and his growth and development.

Love it. Addictive story, Interesting characters, and funny interactions between them. The setting could be a bit more fleshed out, but I don’t mind finding out bits and pieces as the story unfolds either.

Muy buenos personajes, se sienten muy humanos especialmente por el protagonista

Story is amazing i literally cannot use words to describe it. Pacing is absolutely amazing none of the one day loser one day op shit. Bro also has elite rizz. This shit is actually peak. The author dropped this btw 👑

Soy un entusiasta de los mangas, al encontrar "un caballero que retrocede eternamente" me atrapó su fantástico desarrollo de la historia, necesitaba saber más detalles, afortunadamente llegué a webnovel y estoy disfrutando al máximo ésta novela, gracias a los desarrolladores por su esfuerzo y dedicación.

A curious novel I have not read, To see a man who’s rot with dread, To see a man grow to not be dead, A worthy read for readers shall tread. 10/10

I come from the manhwa, does anyone know from where do i start reading this novel? I read it should be about the 90s but i'm not sure. Also is it recommended to start reading this novel from zero despite having read the manhwa?

The world is intresting and characters are intresting. The translation is a bit rough, mixes he and she. And it’s difficult to read. Also it gets boring at places.
