Somehow, no idea how, I missed the big selling point right there on the blurb: the time loop. I just picked this up on a recommendation, I think.
So for a few chapters I was thinking this was maybe gonna be a less interesting take on the kind of stuff Harry Potter and the Methods of Rationality covers, or perhaps something like John Bierce's Mage Errant series.
Nope.
Time loop.
It's very well executed given the challenge of keeping things interesting as the loop repeats, and it doesn't overcomplicate its lore or magic systems so you can focus on keeping the timey-wimey stuff straight rather than getting bogged down in extraneous worldbuilding.
I'm gonna go straight to where the whole serialised thing is available for free and just keep going, I think - it's that engaging.

It’s an interesting idea, how would you use a time loop if you knew the end of the world was coming and you wanted to stop it but this book dragged. It did not need to be over 600 pages. The next two are just as long and considering they are about the same thing, I’m guessing just as repetitive.
