Spoiler for Cyoria:
Surprised no one's posted this here yet, since it's one of the best. Even though it's not originally in Japanese, it reads just like a light novel. The updates are somewhat slow, but the author says he's planning to release 2 chapters a month. Last edited by Lefay; 2015-02-15 at 16:12. |

not really
a hint here and there but the MC is too busy trying to survive and figuring things out. somebody did, i believed the mods deleted because it is a Eng novel not japanese/korean/chinese. So technically it doesn't actually belong here.

There are several girls, but the nature of the time loop makes the romance extremely subtle (that is, nonexistent if you're talking about relationships), but I think it will develop further in the future.

It's not like there can't be an English light novel The author admits to be influenced by works like FMA, Naruto, and some of his writing has a very Japanese feel. |

As to the story, Zorian is the type of character I most appreciate - someone who thinks before he does stuff. He realizes there are multiple opportunities present with continually going to the past, and he takes advantage of them. He's not some overpowered superhero that a lot of light novels like to show. Instead, he relies on traps and stuff to "overpower" his enemies. Interestingly enough, Zorian is not the one who the whole time-travel is centered around. Instead, he's forced into it. A certain other person has been reliving the three months over and over again a lot longer than Zorian. As to romance, Zorian seriously has no interest. He realizes a few girls may actually want something along those lines, but he actively steers away from that (it didn't help that a past crush had no clue he even thought of her that way, even after he confessed...). |

the writing is a bit slow at first until the first reset. It gets a lot better after that. The MC is smart but not brilliant, well verse but not OP. A bit mature for his age but well explain by his families circumstance.

Oh I like this one but its updates takes a month or so that made me forgot it.
The character is not OP in here although he can go back in time but with his mediocre mana reserve or something that increases slightly every reset (still mediocre though) he was limited with his magic output but he compensate with knowledge (unlike the other one), magic control and variety of spells and tools. He has an innate talent too(talking to spiders). |

NO romance just yet, if you compare its aspect to Japanese web novel style.
PG13. though some violence scene might be too much. Then again, gorier scenes than that shown on TV, so maybe not. Update schedules, think 5 weeks per chap. EDIT: think latebloomer char of Japanese design. |

Does it get better? I made it through the first chapter and not sure if I can stand much more of the MC...
I find it ironic that he's calling his sister a brat when that's what I was thinking he was. Seems like a whiny teenager mad at the world that doesn't have any major problems or reasons to be acting like a douchewad... |

The sister thing wasn't so bad though. She is kind of a brat. I thought their relationship was pretty normal all things considered. Last edited by bludvein; 2014-12-21 at 16:11. |

Definitely agree about the magic system and world building. The longer you read, the more you realize how wide the author's ambitions are in synergizing a whole lot of different fantasy elements. |

Zorian was kind of a good person from the start, just hidden under his attitude. He helps the little girl get her bike out of the creek and searches for Akoja during the invasion before the loop even starts for him.
So anyway, how do you all think the next couple loops will go? Will he focus on the dungeon while honing his ward-breaking, or will he investigate the missing/dead mages? |
