Description

Book One is available onAmazonandAudible, narrated by Daniel Thomas May!

Updates Monday and Thursday.

The world devolved into chaos as a game-like system reduced the population to a series of statistics and screens. Confusion reigned as everyone struggled to survive in this new reality. Everyone but one man. Anthony Franklin had a secret. One that gave him an edge. He had lived through this exact series of events... 99 times in a row.

Anthony needed to take advantage of all he accomplished over the past centuries: every play, shortcut, and strategy, to save as many lives as possible by the end. He would contend with vicious boss monsters, elude the ever watching eyes of the system administrators, and watch his back from the scheming players that wanted the game to go their way no matter the cost.

In a world where every individual has their own goals, dreams, and fears, shepherding them won't be easy. Anthony must use all of his considerable experience to gain a powerful class and put the scared populace on the right track and take out threats before they become too big. There will be no more chances; win or lose, his 100th run shall be his last.

And this guy hit the nail!
A lot of time loops (especially those that start with an experienced looper) run into issues like lord dumping, over explaining, etc.- but this has hit almost none of those pitfalls.
Adding to the already existing challenge of an experienced looper, is that it is a apocalypse regression- one of the areas I have seen the worst failures in. Yet again though, that pitfall was beaten with a good dash of humor, a cure-all of great effect when used in moderation.
Most of all, we know the goal. #sara-best-girl (as of reading). I have a personal weak spot for situations like how Sara and the mc are (darn you perfect run) but that does not diminish my view in the least that this story benefits from having and end goal, and having a metaphorical “friend by your side” who was with you every step, even if you didn’t always know it.
Another thing is that although I haven’t seen it before, I appreciate looking back to the scenes of Sara and Ant talking and planning- these add little breaks that do wonders for me at least, as well as how the author has maintained a separation between the plan and reality portions- I have yet to see a mistake.
Penultimately, the use of “the final loop” (100/100) is a tool that works wonders here, removing the part of time loops that makes character presentation, behavior, and dialogue so important and challenging. Not that those are lacking in any way, but the story has benefited from it imo nontheless. It also adds a weight to the present, a challenge in many other applications of the time loops as the reader is always wondering when the next reset is. Now of course, that anticipation is gone, but at least it is partially replaced by the flashbacks.
Overall, #SaraBestGirl, and a good twist of the time loop + apocalypse scenario without the pitfalls of so many other stories like that. (My opinion is subject but unlikely to change as I read further)
I am hoping that later the author delves into Ant’s motivation of “save ev

I had hoped this series was done but it's not so I must stay glued to the screen for the next chapters! (The ones on Patreon on worth the $$) I could read this series for another 10,000 pages if the author continues. I love the mix of things not working and things playing out the same. The main character has a major cheat code. He could keep going to various locations in the world that are unaffected by the changes in the run, I love it! It reminds me of "The Perfect Run" Where the main character is delightful to follow and a little broken inside from all the lives lived.

This story is an adrenaline rush! Anthony the MC has a list of things to do and he doesn't have any time to waste. Once you dip your toe into this story, you will be ripped along at a blistering pace.
The story is told from the first person perspective. It is consistently applied and I always knew who was doing what. This made it easy to follow. There is a time skip, which the author employs effectively to set up subsequent scenes and to show some of the MCs motivations.
The plot is straightforward. The goal is to save as many lives as possible using the MCs knowledge and experience from past runs. The world is being destroyed and Anthony is the only person in a position to do anything about it. It is an easy plot to follow and the way that Ant goes about it keeps it very interesting. Humour is applied effectively in several points along the story that keeps things refreshing.
I tend to be something of a grammar nazi, but I did not encounter any grammar issues that stood out to me. Well done!
The author employs a wide range of emotions from Anthony that really make him seem real. He is in turns passionate, vain, angry, and focused. Sara the angel is slightly less dimensioned, but the story is still young and I’m sure we will see more of her as the tale progresses.

The title says: A Regressor's LitRPG Adventure - And that is exactly what you get. To be honest, the premise of the story is exactly the same as I have read five or six times already, but what I don't understand is why people always bring that up as a negative. The genre of murder mysteries follows the exact same format every single time, across all authors, and people still love it every time. The only thing that changes are the people, the details of events and the way the problems are solved. I think this is exactly the same: What you get is a well executed Regressor story with an OP-MC. I am pretty sure that he is going to collect a team of the best humanity has to offer in the future and fight the good fight against the system. If that is something you are interested in, than you are going to enjoy this story.
Story: As I already said, not an original premise, but the execution is great and I for my part enjoyed it immensely.
Grammar: No Issues there. Cant say much about the spelling, as I had to use a text to speech software to listen to the story because I was too sick to stare at a monitor.
Style: I find the style very appropriate for the genre. I enjoyed the pacing and the action was on point. Feels like there is not much else of need for a great Regressor's LitRPG Adventure.
Character: Ok, this is probably the hardest part to rate, as there are just not enough characters that really had their moment in the spotlight. But the two most important ones, MC and Sara, were great. I am pretty certain that the cast will grow in the following chapters, and then I might need to revisit this point again, but for now, full marks.

TLDR: 5/5 Not unique, but a good, standard regression story. Highly recommend.
100th run is a regression story following a telekinetic on his last loop to save humanity. It contains all the usual precognition, uber-fast leveling, timeline deviations, and a few lesser-used tropes that enhance the story.
For example, the lone wolf thing is prevalent, but not overbearing. In many such stories, the events devolve into a single-player run to the finish line at the expense of most of humanity. Usually, a side character or two get dragged along for the ride, but that is it. In this story, there aren't any hints that Anthony will participate in a group (despite mention of 40+ member raids in the future), but he is actively organizing the critical members of humanity in a way that takes advantage of the butterfly effect. A breath of fresh air and fun to read.
Unlike many others, this book has excellent monster design. Each enemy is interesting, unique, has abusable weaknesses, and is just damn cool. Not much else to say. It's clever.
Grammer is fine. It is obvious that the author is a native English speaker -- or native adjacent.
The characters are a solid meh/10. They exist, but as is often the case in these stories, they lack...hmm...desire I suppose. Anthony for example, is a textbook looper. He is going to save as many people as he can. Why? He is isn't a psychopath, duh!...Sigh.
Anthony hasn't displayed much desire towards certain build paths, saving certain people, or leaving certain people to die. Morbid? maybe, but it may be interesting to see if he intentionally leaves a troublesome serial killer alive to adhere to his moral code, even if it causes problems in the future.
The side characters aren't much better. Servicable, I suppose. The most intriguing character so far has been a certain lady who is not Anthony's oompa loompa. Unlike everyone else. She wants things. One thing, but eh, semantics. At the end of the day, the focus of this story isn't the characters an

I don't often give out such high praise on here, but this is one of my favorite stories on Royal Road. The writing is quick and snappy, the story is interesting, and you're quickly invested in a likeable character. I'd highly recommend this story to anyone who enjoys LitRPG.
Style Score - The style of the story is impressive, and the writer keeps everything moving along at a good clip. And I found myself devouring the pages, as nothing drags, and he describes just what's needed. The battle scenes are espeically impressive, and I found myself drawn into a battle with a... well, I don't want to spoil it.
Story Score - While it's hard to judge early on, the story so far is definitely the strongest aspect of the fiction. Not only does it provide a significant amount of mysteries that make you want to keep reading, but the world is interesting, as is the system apocalypse that takes places. Much is just hinted at so far, but I think the story is only going to get better from here.
Grammer Score - The grammer on this story is incredibly solid and well above most of what you get for web novels. However, there are a handful of mistakes here and there, but nothing to detract from the story. And far less than you usually find on here.
Character Score - The character is another high point of the story, and he's likeable and competent—an unsual comibation these days. It's hard to say too much about him, as he's still growing with the story, but I think he'll become one of my favorite protagonists. And the side characters—while few in number so far—all feel fleshed out and real.

While I can’t say it’s objectively the best (I don’t know how to make objective comparision anyways), I can say that it’s the most fun story ive read in a good while. Characters are fun, the world is very interesting and original but not too focused on it to be a problem, the system of lit rpg is developed but not too complex, and it’s overall great to read

'The Hundredth Run' is a gripping saga that thrusts readers into a captivating world of chaos and strategy. Anthony Franklin's tale of survival, laced with suspense and ingenuity, is utterly riveting. With every twist, I found myself spellbound by the sheer brilliance of his character's journey. It definitely should not be missed
