Description

Everyone dies, but I get to live again. And again. Andagain. When I died, my soul followed the usual cycle of reincarnation… until I was caught by higher dimensional pirates. Fortunately, I was saved before anything came of that, and along the way I picked up a special skill that made me immune to the usual loss of memories between lives. It also let me keep my stats and my skills—the elements of my new System—which I would gain in each life, carrying them into the next. So what’s a guy to do when he’s reborn as a baby in a new world? Learn the local magic, for starters. Navigate how my System works, and learn how to pick up stats and skills to help me survive and thrive in my new life, and all the lives that will follow. Maybe, along the way, figure out how to find some meaning in all of this, setting goals for myself in each life and trying to find fulfillment and happiness across the vast collection of worlds in the multiverse. This is my life—or rather, these are my infinite, endless, serial lives. And I’ll keep living them… as long as I don’t get soul-killed or encounter some other disaster I can’t even comprehend yet. Hopefully, I can live themright. Aslow-burn,slice-of-lives serial reincarnation LitRPG aboutthe journey of living throughmultipleisekai fantasies. Chapters posted Monday, Wednesday, and Friday. Cover by Rian Moraes.

One of the best fictions on RR right now.
Absolute banger.
The fiction starts with promise and builds up like crazy perfectly.
I am a fan of reincarnation stories specifically and I think this is one of the better ones.
The characters are well defined and explained. They are likable as well, which is a huge green flag for me
Storytelling is just WOW. I Don't think I've seen such a well written one in some time.
I refuse to give any spoilers since i dont want to spoil it for you, but just go try reading it.
Its peak!

Another great entry from the author. There are way too few serial reincarnation stories out there. We are still on the first (or second?) life, but it's already looking to be amazing. The MC is interesting and doesn't fall into the edgy or savior trap like most MCs do. Thanks!

So frickin fun I could not stop reading! Highly recommend for lovers of isekai and reincarnation type stories! The story grabs you right from the get go and does not let up! You slowly learn about the world (and tiny tidbits of the metaverse) as it peels back the layers. The magic is interesting and nuanced. Power progression is handled with care and the mc isnt OP yet, but well on his way.At first he only seems to care about growing accross multiple lifetimes, but as the story progresses his care for the world and reality around him deepens as he creates real connections. If the MC is turning you off for his disconnect initially keep reading! Yes he has character flaws, yes his brain is trying to come to terms with what it means to be a serial reincarnator. But its done so well! I want to see this character progression in books, not a perfect already knows it all MC! What would be the fun if he already was perfect, if he already knew everything? Its the journey that makes it fun, and this is a fun journey I will be following through to the end.

An interesting take on the reincarnator trope, mechanically speaking. Lots of fascinating tidbits building up the world.Characters are well written, not just the MC. Not just an op power fantasy either, MC is working hard for their progress.Warning for those who are sensitive is the story has just started trying to figure out what makes sense for a reincarnator with romantic relationships. Some risky topics being touched on there but, in my opinion, it's being handled carefully and with consideration. If that still freaks you out, just don't read it.

Having read Worldseed, Re:Chimera, and Coin Capture, some of the author’s previous works, this is definitely an improvement and is shaping up to be one of his longest running series. It’s a truly intriguing idea and more of a slow burn, but it still has plenty of action and some genuinely harrowing moments. I can’t wait to see what happens across his many lives. I’m already very invested and ended up getting the Patreon so far it was worth it.

I have read a few stories with a similar concept, and they all failed on the same part, time scale. They always take at least a year of real time to get into the next life, to actually get to the core of their synopsis. Here, it took around a month.
The story itself is also quite well done and fast-paced, with more focus on actually telling a story, rather than getting a world count into infinity where nothing happens. We actually get enough information on characters and their surroundings that allows the world to feel existing, characters real, and the passage of time noticeable.
I would recommend reading the story. I would also recommend a Patreon sub. Now to longer review.
Style: writing here is lighter on details and tends to be more about what happened in general, and sometimes goes into a slower mode (wedding) to carry a story. Normally, between each chapter, there are some time skips, and time tends to be on the speedier side here. Instead of recounting days its weeks, or years.
Grammar: This review is sponsored by Grammary xD /s. I don't notice typos or any noticeable issues with it.
Story: Interesting and sort-of-fast-paced story about the reincarnation as it is, and just living lives in different worlds. His first one was more of HumanTM V.2, where he just had less of a hell world than the one he came from before.
I'm not exactly a fan of philosophical topics and discussions about what went wrong in that world, so I tend to skim those. I would rather the author not try to prove to us why something is like this or that. It's much better to just continue the story and go over the unnecessary explanations.
Characters: I would rate them as quite realistic and more on the real side. Tho not the strongest you can find here. This story is set with a focus on more lives, people will die, and characters will appear and disappear. It's not a story where you live with the same characters for thousands of chapters. Closest example I would say is Cyberpunk 2077 "intro"

I have to commend the author on an overall amazing take on this genre and the style of this story. The writing was refreshingly a person and not steeped in AI at the wheel. I understand the need for this in most RR novels just to overcome the language barrier but with so many having AI’s influence the books tend to read robotic. It’s overdone where the biggest tells are sentence structures of “not XXX , but seemingly XXX”. The lack of this makes the story telling engaging for me.
I also have to commend the different directions of the typical tropes that occur in these genres. It seems to be minor but when compared to the norm, it highlights a true identity that makes the story that much more unique.
Tropes I mean are:
The MC friend group. It’s not the typical trio of a comic relief character, a female character that is the underlying romantic interest, and the MC that takes the underdog or OP role. Our MC has one friend. He’s impressive in his own right and is written to have his own goals and direction. Not the sidekick to our MC. The romantic interest is a sister to his friend. Organic interactions are there and the trio trope is not at all painfully forced.
Another would be the conical Rich noble aggressor in an academy. Rather than the first discourse to the noble instigating years of aggression from said antagonist for the sake of their pride, the character assesses the worth of this and just dismisses further action. He actually moves on and sets some later foundation to his own growth. And he doesn’t magically become an indispensable friend.
It’s these minute details that make the read unique and refreshing.
There is some distaste other readers have disclosed for the direction of the story but I disagree and see there is enough of a mature handling of the plot arc to make this appropriate. Especially considering it is wholesomely written.
My only critique for the story which was notably improved as it went on was the reaction to death in the family for the MC

Well worth reading, the writing is solidly above average, the story is interesting and engaging and the protagonist is easily relatable. The story has good world building and it seems to always be building towards something which tends to keep me reading and engaged. I'm keen to see how the reincarnation mechanic works out between lives as this has huge potential to change the way the story is written from life to life. Thanks to the author for some great content !Happy to recommend !

Really good so far and I can’t wait for more.
I will say the author struggled slightly with developing personal relationships between the MC and his family in a way that almost made the MC seem like a psychopath early on. Fortunately that’s just because he comes to the realization early that he will have lots of parents over his myriad of lives and he knows that to guarantee successful successive lives he won’t be able to stay around his family that only knows how to farm.
He manages to form friendships and relationships he values early on after he starts learning magic which doesn’t take long. Now as far as these relationships being valuable long term I’m not to sure but they can certainly be important for the development of the MC.
I imagine he won’t have any super long term friendships or relationships until he meets others like him who can also remember their past lives. Otherwise no matter how attached we want to be to certain characters it won’t matter because they will eventually be left behind. Which is why I’m kinda hoping he keeps up with the first administrator he contacts since they have a pretty cool albeit slightly distant relationship so far.
