An Infinite Recursion of Time

Description

I always wanted to be taken to another world, and as they say, there are no atheists in the foxhole that we call real life. I prayed, and prayed, and prayed until one day, I opened my eyes to see my dream had come true.

I also saw the axe of an orc bearing down on my skull. You win some, you lose some.

A time-loop fantasy story written after getting into litRPGs a bit. I wondered what it would be like if I just went and wrote a story about all the things I liked in web fiction without holding back: time loops, RPG stats, certain character archetypes, and harems played straight. Please be warned of lewd descriptions and depraved sexualization. If nothing else, this will be a sincere work.

Is this Worth the Candle, but entirely leaning towards the themes of "sex & harem"? Yes it is. Don't try to fool me!
I see the references all over the places: isekai protagonist having deep thoughts about everything, infernoscope -> heavenscope, 9000 hells - > 9000 heavens, Uther Penndraig & redhaired princess Amaryllis Penndraig - > Rose Penndrack.
So many references! This is like a porno parody based on or referencing a rational book, and it's a damn very well written porno. Five stars all around.
There. You are now blessed with the stars. Truly a degenerate masterpiece in which the main character is flung into absurdly sexy and fun events and misunderstandings and tries to rationalise things the best he can. No spelling problems found. Characters are fun and interesting. Humor is fantastic, it made me laugh out loud many times.
Also, I see the prudes stalking the outer rims with their prude reviews. Why do you people read something that is a parody & clearly has sexual content and depraved sexualization notice only to cry how the "______ is horny"? A mystery of the ages.
Overall: The comedy and jokes here are sublime and the main character's self depreciation is just pure gold. This is far better than most vague-ass harems writers output and mass produce for amazon sales. Mr_17, keep it up! Can't wait for more chapters of interest.

Watch out for the horny, bro lost himself in the smut sauce for a bit, don't trust him on the explicit stuff being demarcated and skippable... but...
The smut's good, the story pretty good, all of it quite funny, I only hate
Who Walmart-Sauron turned out to be...
But that is just a minor, personal grievance.

This story avoids taking itself too seriously, to its great benefit. I would describe it in brief as "horny Worth The Candle crackfic" and this is strictly a positive thing.
I also sincerely appreciate that Mr 17 is trying to say something about what makes people appreciate each other- that small gestures are often more meaningful to the recipient than the giver expects. (Even if it's a moral copied from a video game within the text- great artists steal!)

I can only use these three words to describe my impression of this novel. For all its smut, initially snarky protagonist and power fantasy kicking into full gear, An Infinite Recursion of Time has a story to tell that does not (only) revolve around ogling women and blindly increasing the harem. Try it. It's going to be a hilarious ride with dark implications, and I do not regret a second of reading it.

Hello this is good story
It is Horny It is Funny It does Not take itself Seriously
The dialogue is cringe at the start until you realize it is cringe on purpose. Then, it is based
There is no reason not to be reading this if you are reading stuff on this site already

I want expecting much too be honest the reviews and the description paited a picture of an isekai subversion that's been done before and the beginning seemed to be just that. But instead of the usual crash and burn of an interesting concept not translating into a good story. It got better, and better, and better. Just read it.

Ever read a novel and realized you just don't care? Somehow, the protagonist is going to stick to the plot, and the two to three chapters where the author meanders and makes up excuses to bring back the plot is just... Wasted words.
How about
A sauron look alike just pop up from a portal and kill the mc? It's a timeloop, were just waiting for him to die anyhow.
This fic knows exactly what it is and is not afraid of it. It has power progression, a teasing harem, a generic-as-they-come fantasy setting (but with that slight hint of mystery that still keeps you hooked). It even has a prophecy! A honest four to five sentences poem that heralds the chosen one and is given at the first arc. I haven't seen that in ages.
It's pure fun, and exactly what I am looking for in RR, and I think so are much of you. Give it a try.

I came here in large part due to the honesty description, and stayed because I liked what I found. I liked Malcador's character, though I liked it slightly less at the end due to sheer personal preference, and enjoyed his monologs and musings of the nature of the world he found himself in. The sex scenes were surprisingly good, but they didn't do any titfucking, 0/10 bad story. Honestly though, I enjoyed this greatly, and am sad to see it end so soon. I hope Mr_17 will continue writing in the future, because I'm certainly interested in what he might create next.

This story is a power fantasy plain and simple. That being said it is well written and incredibly fun to read. There are some truly hilarious moments and some decent character development too. If the tags don't bother you then this is definitely worth a read. If the tags bother you then probably move on because this story delivers exactly what it says it will.

In a sea of deconstructions, with each story having their own original clever take on isekai and fantasy, this stands out as an is an excellent return to the classic tropes that make this genre fun and interesting. An Infinite Recursion of Time shows that you don't need edginess, grimdark, or hot new takes to make a story interesting — well-executed ideas, a protagonist with a good head on his shoulder, and a generous sprinkling of humor does just fine.
