Written like a giant D&D campaign crossed with a manga. 3000 pages long but actually really well paced. There are very few slow parts or uninteresting parts. Once you get past page 100 you will be on page 2500 before you know it. I also am a sucker for a good time loop, which this is the ultimate time loop concept. The biggest criticism is that at times it reads like a web novel, which it is, but the truth is those times are much much less than you might think. It’s fast moving and fun and I would recommend it to anyone who’s likes progression fantasy - it really is the best in the genre.

Entertaining time-loop story in which the protagonist actively improves skills and explores the world while seeking a method of escape. Has a "Light Novel" feel, but without illustrations.

Typos and other errors increase as the story progresses, especially in the last several dozen chapters (out of 108).

This is one of the most creative and fun takes on time loops I've read in a long time. The story follows a teenage mage, Zorian, who is killed in an attack on his magic academy and returns to life a month earlier inside a time loop. The story starts a bit slow, with Zorian re-living his school days and trying to stop the attack. But the more he investigates, the wider the web of conspiracy becomes, and each successive time loop quickly spirals into more epic confrontations, involving cultists, foreign invaders, and corruption at the top of the government.

This story has a very solid magic system (DnD players will find the spells very familiar), fantastic world-building, a ridiculously likeable race of telepathic spiders, and a very satisfying final confrontation and epilogue. I highly recommend this book.
