Who it's for, and whether it holds up.

Author profile

The title tells you the genre and the setup in one go, but the execution is messier and more interesting than you'd expect. Kiska dies, resets, and tries again, and the mechanic here has more teeth than usual. Time passes between loops. Skills don't always carry over. Relationships built in one timeline don't automatically transfer to the next. This keeps the story from becoming a power-fantasy, since Kiska is regularly outmatched and has to actually adapt rather than just accumulate.

He's also not an edgelord, which helps. He's an ordinary person in circumstances that keep getting worse, making questionable choices under pressure. That vulnerability makes him more interesting to follow than the invincible MC type.

Where it gets unwieldy is the sheer number of plot threads. New elements pile up fast, and if you're reading in short sessions it can be hard to track all the characters and how they shift across resets. The pacing assumes you're reading in chunks.

On the romance side: the original yandere's behavior has grounding in a history of trauma, but the other love interests sometimes fall into place a little too conveniently. It's a harem setup in practice, even if the framing tries to treat each connection as distinct to its timeline.

At 3.3 this is for readers who specifically want the loop-and-death mechanic done with some real consequences. If that's the draw, it delivers. If you're here for clean romance or coherent pacing, it probably won't satisfy.

Synopsis

The defendant Kiska is hereby banished to the interior of the dungeon for the crime of mu*der. So said the judge. Kiska was falsely accused and banished to the dungeon interior. Kiska was persecuted in the village because he had the same hair color as the family that betrayed the humans. To make matters worse, the village chief’s child killed someone he loved, and Kiska took the blame for it. Hateful. He hates all the villagers who have humiliated him so much that he wants to kill them all with his own hands. But for Kiska, who had no skills and was not an adventurer, being banished to the depths of the dungeon was like a death sentence. But. “I will save you.” At the moment he was attacked by the demons, and he foresaw his own death, someone told him that he was going to die. “The skill I’m going to give you is called ‘Save and Reset’.” Someone had given him a skill. With this skill, Kiska has the power to rewind time back to just before he was killed by a demon. This seemed to avert death, but it was only the beginning of hell. This is the story of a man with nothing but the power of reverting back to death, who dies many times while trying to conquer the most difficult dungeon.
