To lift himself out of the poverty of... Read more Arlan can go back in time by one minute, once per day.To lift himself out of the poverty of peasantry, Arlan traveled into the monster-infested wilderness, aiming to acquire the Swordsman Class. While exploring, he encountered a Demon with powerful time magic, and after a battle gone wrong, he ended up with something different than he’d hoped: an unheard-of Class named Minute Mage.Now, lost in the woods without any training to use magic and not even a usable weapon, Arlan must rely on his new Class’s one unique power: the ability to turn back time by a single minute. Nobody in the world has ever heard of this Class, so he can’t rely on community, the knowledge of his peers, or any of the studying he’s done until now – only instinct. And when he explores further, he finds that this forest isn’t what it seemed – that Demon had to have come from somewhere, after all. But he’ll fight to Level up, increase his strength and time-traveling power, and break out of the fatal forest with his life intact.What to Expect:-Numbers. This is a LitRPG written by someone who loves LitRPGs. It won’t be overwhelming or confusing, but if you dislike the genre, this probably isn’t the story for you. Blue boxes ahead!-Meaningful progression. Characters are always working to grow more powerful, but doing so is difficult. Level-ups are hard-earned and bring with them meaningful change in characters’ abilities.-Tactical fights. Fighting is as much a battle of wits as it is a battle of muscle, after all.-No harems.Chapters average ~2750 words, though earlier chapters are a bit longer than that. Currently updating daily at 7 am EST for about a week while I work through the rest of my backlog. Will eventually to something more sustainable, like 3, week or something.Enjoy!

Saw review complaining about MC making mistakes, how f#cking unexpected humans make mistakes, just wow. I am not saying that it is interesting to watch retarded MC who is plainly stupid, but everyone for some reason always wants to see MC who makes no mistakes(regressors hello).mediocre work, you can read if things are thin. ms is incredibly dumb. 1. tells everyone that he has a rare class.2. moves in time to do the same, I know that nothing will change (chasing at night with a scorpion) 3. does not think about others when fighting, I constantly hear, "I forgot to throw debuff again"4. I completely became reckless with timeand much more..an author needs to graduate from the school of sanity before starting to writeILL ADD THIS TO BOOKMARK CAUSE I SAW "NO HAREM"Have read up to current chapter here (67) as well as 10 more patreon chapters I found elsewhere (77). Overall it's pretty decent, but i'm dropping it both due to how annoying some of the side characters are, but mostly because the MC keeps becoming less observant and kinda stupid.There are some examples of him being stupid within these current chapters as well, such as taking a dangerous fight (whilst not having a rewind use) and making stupid decisions during it Spoilerwhich is explained away as being caused by the fact that he is addicted to casting a spell and becomes angry and reckless if he doesn't do it regularly. This fight puts him in a life threatening state, but despite levelling up he doesn't utilise his stat points at all despite the fact that they would definetly help Spoilerthey could have increased his stamina recovery rate so that he is able to use Regenerate more often to regain health, or he could've put it into strength to help him a bit during the trial to prove himself. it takes until after he has recovered and gained another level to realise this.In a meta sense I think i understand why the author made him not utilise these stat points. MC has made it clear that currently he needs to prioritise things that will help him in the moment rather than long term. Currently every single stat point he gains he just dumps into Conjuration to increase his MP and MP regen. In that situation, more conjuration would have been useless. So rather than bring it up and have him put the points elsewhere out of necessity, author decided to make it so that MC just forgets about the points entirely until he is in a position where he is able to just dump them into conjuration again. The main examples of all these issues are between chaps 67-77, so will put it in spoilers. For a non-detailed summary: MC takes way too long to notice something fairly obvious. SpoilerIn a fight where he is against a group of Infernals and Humans, he notices that the Infernals have a ring on their hands, when they never have before. He also notices all the soldiers also have the ring on too. The Dryad rushes forward but a sudden explosion under her feet blasts her back. He notices that there are mines everywhere, but that the enemy aren't triggering them. He also notices that his spells that lower the enemy dexterity aren't having as much an effect as usual, and that when his teammate chucks fire blasts at the enemies, they all go flying much further back than usual.For some reason his first thought is that they could be remotely triggered mines. It isn't until his 2nd time through that he properly links the rings to the mines. But even then he somehow thinks that they are contact mines, despite the fact that the enemies are just walking over them. He has to take a ring off a dead soldier and the system has to make him aware that it has an enchantment that reduces weight by like 70% for him to consider that it is weight based. EVEN THEN, he decides to confirm that by chucking the dead body onto a mine, which causes an explosion, for him to be certain.It is then shown that, with the ring on, he can jump much higher than usual and goes flying further when hit etc. but somehow, other than when the enemy got hit by the fire blasts, there are no mentions of them going flying or jumping higher etc.MC has a spell that will clearly help things, but waits until he has run out of rewind uses before using it. SpoilerHe has a spell that increases gravity by just under 50% yet, even when he finally realises that the mines are triggered by weight, he doesn't use that knowledge until he uses up his last rewind. MC makes a plan and decides to rewind in order to utilise it and does so without getting any benefit from the rewind before it.SpoilerHe manages to successfully get away on his 2nd run, but decides he will rewind in order to get more benefits from things by triggering a massive chain reaction of explosions from the mines. He doesn't have much MP left, granted, but the gravity spell only takes 10 mp per second and the last time we are shown his MP he has 7. With his stats it would take him abough 16/17 seconds to regen that. Given that they are in the clear and are running away, he could easily continue til he has that mana back, then double back and try to get a bit of extra EXP. His rewind happens automatically after death, so that wouldn't have been a risk for him. Even if he ended up messing up the timing, or only causing damage and no kills, the fact he didnt try at all and just rewound seems really dumb. Elite soldiers become insane levels of stupid.SpoilerThe king was always stupid and becomes even more so. Of the elite soliders, the one who was against killing the innocent MC just gets killed instantly by the Devil as well as one more of her team. Of the other 2, one just decides to spill the truth even though the Devil has made it clear that he doesn't care at all about anything. They manage to live since the devil decides on a whim not to kill them anymore, but he says that they will go through a week of torture. When it comes to the torture chapter, it ends with one of them deciding to blame the MC for it and vows to kill him when it is literally not his fault in any way. It makes sense this way, since that is how the king acts and they are also idiots who went along with it, but the fact that after 1 day of torture he directs his hatred towards the innocent guy they're trying to kill just because the Devil says so vs the Devil who ordered the torture or hell, even the ones torturing them, is just stupid.The female lead is also just kinda...there. After his stupid decision that almost killed him, he agreed with her that he will listen to her more and she will get involved more in planning etc. But in the main fight after that, mentioned in the spoilers above, she is just...there. She doesn't figure anything out. She doesn't really give any advice or help other than firing a fire blast to protect him from something/someone during a fight like twice. SpoilerGiven that her sister was an Enchanter and that she, previously, seemed to know about enchantments, she could easily have helped out identifying the rings or the effect, but even during their short discussion after the first rewind, there's basically none of that at all.I haven't read the novel yet. But I know that I have nothing to do. One synopsis is enough. X2Good start, by 50s the protagonist starts to drag on you a bitThe time control is the best hereRank D+At ch 63Enjoying the read3/5Story premise is goodBut mc is mage with low heath and no protection. He pick up close combat spells and use all extra attributes stats to increase mana.So with high mana and low health he should be doing hight damage range spell. Story try to justify picking close combat spells but I am not sold on it.Fights are always 10 or 20 level higher then mc.Mc use time loops always on some xp boots and i would say I thought the same idea as I read discription on talent.But wasting life saving skill on some xp is not worth it.And the scale of story is goes to high to soon as mc is quite weak and whole kingdom after him and on top of that we have a army of power devil on top of that . Realistic speaking anyone on same position as mc would be dead early.There is more thing that way nonsense or we can say it doesn't make sense.I enjoying reading it despite it many major flaws.So if you like to pass some time and enjoy it without thinking too much then read this novelPS. The hell part is so fun to read and name convention of devil is crazy. back<<
