Summary

Roan ran away 20 years ago from his rural village in the aim of becoming a Great General. However, all he got 20 years later was just a handful of money and the lowly position of squad commander of the First Legion’s.

In the end, he became a cold corpse in the battlefield… but somehow, he came back in the past.

“Alright. This time, I won’t become a Great General but a Monarch.”

His previous life’s aim was becoming a Great General, but, he only became a spearman squad commander.

This time, his life’s aim is becoming the Monarch.

“Then I guess I’d become at least a General, right?”

Roan, who remembers 20 years of his future, now starts his unstoppable march.

        the translation is seriously bad. I personally have some issues with the author's way of writing, which maybe you'll not even notice unless you're a critical critic like me. last 14 or so chapters are missing. you can search for them online, machine translation though. other than that...I liked the overall story.

    I read this years ago when I was a kid, one of my fav back then. After re reading it i would say the story have a good concept, nice fanservice and a satisfying read. Dont hope for writing on par with SS or tbate, and youre good to go. The only thing you need to endure is the bad translation ridiculous sound effects

    Another one of these one sentence per line novels. I can't read them. Clearly this was a script for a manhwa, turned into a novel.

        Omniscient Readers Viewepoint Regressors Instruction Manual Advent Of the Three Calamities Return of the Mount Hua [ Return of The Plum Blossom Swordsman ] Novels Extra Authors Pov Possessing Nothing Trash of the Counts Family Some of these Novels are Peak and they are all Korean novels. You are either ignorant of their origins, too narrow minded to think anything other than English authors are good at writing or just upright rasict that u stereotype like that. Also your welcome for the recommendations.

        It seems that you have misunderstood my message. I love Korean novels and I have nothing against them, I'm simply implying that they are all produced as mostly One sentence per line, dont know why your calling me a racist

    Don’t go in, it’s not worth your time. Translation is bad, it’s like the translator and PROOF READER were both high as a kite every time they worked on a chapter, or they actually only know English on the elementary school level. Story idea is interesting, but execution is terrible. MC’s past life has little to do in the story, all he does up to ch49 is use future knowledge of events that happened in his past life, and little to no actual experience from his 20 years as a career soldier. And he’s an *ssh*l* that thinks he’s a good guy, the worst kind of *ssh*l*. Anyway, proceed at your own risk. 🚯

      Isn't that the purpose? Why focus on his failed past life? I thought he was using this second chance at life to seize opportunities? Isn't it easier to use future knowledge? I'm confused at what point you're trying to make? I've seen multiple stories mc relaying on their past life so what's bad about that?

        Everything goes according to plan all the time. Nothing changes, no butterfly effect. There’s this one battle early on where it happens a year early ok? But the battle itself is still the same, he even predicts some guy tripping, in a different time and place from the original battle. Sh*t is crazy, the world twists and bends itself for the main character. And the main character doesn’t use his experience as a soldier, he goes like: -Some guy in the future invented a perfect solution to my current problem, I can use that. -Some guy in the future had a perfect formation, I can copy that. What I’m getting at is that it’s clearly a wish fulfillment fantasy, and a badly written one at that.
