The Last Legend Reborn Book 1: An OP MC Regression LitRPG

by Borgy60

Rodric Vale spent sixty years as the world's greatest hero. He answered every summons, fought every war, saved every kingdom that asked. He reached Level 100—the only person ever to do so—and became a legend.

And on his deathbed, surrounded by kings and nobles who came to pay respects to their greatest weapon, he realized he'd wasted his entire life serving other people's causes.

He never explored the places he wanted to see. Never took a job just because it sounded fun. Never told the guilds and crowns to solve their own problems. He was everyone's sword, and he died tired.

Then he wakes up at the summoning circle. Young again. Level 1 again.

This time? He's not being anyone's hero. He's going to take the quests that interest him. See the places he wants to see. Get strong on his own terms. And when the kingdoms come calling for their legendary summoned savior, he's going to tell them to handle it themselves.

It started off well but then it seemed to kind of run out of steam. Having very similar fights in very similar rooms, having similar conversations. At one point they find the fifth floor and then spend the next two chapters... finding the fifth floor? There's a brief reference to them having seen it before but it doesn't make sense. And there's other stuff, like they keep talking about him weeping over a bowl of stew: he doesn't, though, I checked! He was in his early twenties when he was summoned and after sixty years is somehow 91? He talks about watching people die of old age twenty years after they were 'young'. It just got to the point where I'd had enough of the weird mistakes, and it had become too repetitive to keep letting the problems slide.

A reborn hero who walks away from it all, I had high expectations. I hoped for something a bit different. Then he spends the whole book being a classic hero, and since he is just reacting he has fewer choices. Rather than different, I got incredibly blase and following boring tropes.

this is a book

I dunno , it hit the right notes, but not in the right pitch for me . I mean in my opinion any book written by a person and not Ai is a good thing , right ?
Firstly the Mc himself is kinda goodie dude , kinda a Gary sue in my opinion .
This book feels kinda campy to me and I like this kinda genre maybe like the Mac I’m just too old for this stuff , for a Young Adult this could be a good story .

Not a terrible first entry for a new author, but still needs some work. I think the author should have posted chapters to Royal Road as they would have been able to get some feedback along the way.

It's a pretty simple, fast-paced story about a regressor. The concept of a Hero turning away from the call worked well in the beginning, but the concept is mostly given up as he is drawn into the major conflict again. There are no real issues with grammar or spelling, but I think it could use some editing as there are some overused phrases/scenes that introduce repetition where it is not wanted.

Part of the issue with the pacing is that you don't really get to know the characters much - they're pretty much just names assigned to a spoken section. I think if the book was 100 pages longer, with those 100 pages devoted to slowing down the pacing a bit and spending time with these characters to learn more about them, it would have been an improvement.

Also, the cover seems to have nothing to do with the story. A bit misleading.

Pleasant surprise.

Not as OP as I expected in the usual op litrpg style way. I go for op stories hence my choice. This one is a quick well thought out little story that doesn't drag out anything. The author wanted to play with an idea that wasn't about stats and they succeeded. Worthwhile diversion, nice job.

Familiar with interesting twists

Not something completely amazing but was entertaining and interesting. The pacing was intense with lots of action. I found some things being repeated and was annoyed by them. The characters dont really have the space to grow with such pacing either. Fun read. Could be better. Didnt regret spending my time on it.

It started out pretty good, a nice rebirth story with great pacing. The MC fights several times, and the fights are over in just a few tight, concise paragraphs. Then suddenly mid-book it becomes every other lame ass Kindle Unlimited LitRPG with SIX chapters of dungeon dive. The whole book is only 26 chapters long, so that represented a major chunk of the total page count.

Good first in series

Well written, good characters.
System is very unobtrusive and not heavy number crunching.
World building is excellent and MC is relatable and feels genuine.
Looking forward to book 2.

I just started this.
It may get worse...it may get better.
But, right now, it may be some of the best writing/dialog that I have seen in years.

*I really hate how the universe is maneuvering the hero onto a track that he does not want. That is just plain cruel.

Great First Book!

This is a fantastic reincarnation story, with slightly different progression methods, leading to very good character development and world building! The story is filled with fast-paced and thrilling action!

Not different

Same story over and over kill this or that I'm a hero save everyone I'm a hero blah blah blah. Thought it would be different but it just took a while to be a world savior!! Can anyone write something original!!

Interesting rebirth isekai

Interesting take on hero calling, duty, regrets & reincarnation using a background low key system. Looking forward to the second book.

[Jim Phillips · Rating 4 out of 5]

Really good

Unique take on a hero. This was more like Batman the anti hero. Written well and stayed interesting. Epilogue was extremely well done

I didn't like the plot.
It was not what I expected based on the book's description, so I will give it only 3 stars.

[Ray Ritchey · Rating 5 out of 5]

Excellent

Nice time regression with the twist the hero burned out after bring manipulated to constantly fight for a lifetime. Reminds me of done companies…
