Regression Is Too Much

In "Regression Is Too Much" by 준호킴, the protagonist possesses a "fraudulent" regression ability that triggers even from the slightest injury, causing him to repeatedly rewind time. This novel features a fantasy world with demi-humans, fairies, dungeons, and a level system, incorporating game elements and magic. The male protagonist, a sword wielder, is determined and cautious, initially weak but aiming to grow stronger through a process akin to a time loop. The story opens with the protagonist trapped in a safe zone, unable to progress due to dangerous terrain. Attempts to bypass the obstacles, including joining a team, result in regression. He tries to convince a high-ranked swordsman girl to train him, but she refuses due to his insincerity. This prompts him to use his regression ability extensively to gather information and learn sword fighting from her over an in-story period of three months, even as he faces demotivation. At chapter 9, he is observed waiting in the safe zone, with hints of his future success as an "Unrivaled Swordsman." The novel also touches on comedic undertones and a parody-like approach to saving the world, with potential for themes involving gods and kidnappings.
