She had dark blonde hair that seemed to emit its own light and wore a pure white dress. “Now then, please work hard from now on. Hero number 163417413.” She says this while waving her hand casually. I tried to open my mouth to retort, but I was wrong. I couldn’t even breathe properly, let alone speak. I’m dying. So this is what dying feels like. I felt it deep in my bones with my whole body. I,Park Jeong-yong Age 24. Rest here. Consciousness became increasingly sticky. Falling. Being pulled in.

The 163,417,413th Soulslike Hero Review & Spoilers - Novel Translator
My Thoughts on The 163,417,413th Soulslike Hero
After diving into "The 163,417,413th Soulslike Hero," I can see why it's garnered a dedicated following. It's a blend of familiar tropes with a unique twist that keeps you guessing. The premise alone is intriguing: a hero system randomly throws individuals into a harsh universe, and our MC is just trying to survive.
First Impressions
The initial chapters pulled me in with the sense of impending doom and the MC's rather unfortunate circumstances. I was immediately curious about the world and the mechanics behind the hero system. The fact that it's a regression story, but with memory loss and skill degradation, adds a layer of tension that I found refreshing.
What Works Well
What stands out most is the character of the MC. He's not your typical overpowered protagonist; he's average, even a bit slow on the uptake, which actually works in his favor. This "dull-wittedness," as some might call it, is a coping mechanism, helping him navigate the psychological trauma of constant death and rebirth. The side characters are also well-developed, each with their own motivations and backstories that add depth to the narrative. I was particularly intrigued by the demon king's character arc. The translation quality is excellent, which makes the story flow smoothly and enhances the overall reading experience.
Areas of Concern
While I enjoy the light-hearted tone, some readers might find the MC's occasional idiocy frustrating. It's crucial to remember that it's intentional and serves a comedic purpose, but it might not appeal to everyone. Also, the potential love interests seem to fall into the "damsel in distress" archetype, which could be a drawback for those seeking more independent female characters.

Final Verdict
Overall, "The 163,417,413th Soulslike Hero" is a surprisingly enjoyable read. It blends action, adventure, and comedy in a post-apocalyptic setting with a regression mechanic that keeps things interesting. While the MC's personality and the potential for damsel-in-distress love interests might not be for everyone, the well-developed side characters, excellent translation, and unique take on the genre make it worth checking out. I'd recommend giving it a try if you're looking for a light-hearted yet engaging action-adventure story with a touch of the supernatural.
