Read manhwa The Illegitimate Who Devours Weapons
The peak of strength in South Korea is the Esteemed Martial Lee Clan. In that martial clan, Lee Cheol was looked down on and chased out because of his status as an illegitimate child.
In order to survive, he lived in shadows, but he was chased down and killed because of his family’s schemes. He was then granted a second chance—regression.
Using his “ability to absorb the memories of a weapon” as a foundation, Lee Cheol would train and go down a path of struggle.
Persistent competition and schemes regarding the right to inheritance, attacks from other races and monsters in dangerous, unexplored lands, and even local clashes related to his family’s internal struggles…
His growth would bring about these things, bringing hardship upon Lee Cheol.
Life itself would be a struggle for Lee Cheol, and this is his destiny.
But in order to protect himself and his surroundings—in order to protect everything—as the fight continues, he’ll unravel secrets from his past life, one by one…!

I came across this after few months, and damn. You really wrote all of this, making up some scenarios that are nowhere near to what ivesaid originally.
All I’ve said was that old fart with this many years on battlefield and hardship, is impossible to act like a toddler, all happy and giggle the same day when he goes back to the past.
This is impossible.
And you went on a rant about his romantic relationships.

Before I forget. Another thing I hate about your take and the stories that beat you over the head with it are as follows:
–
The MC regresses from an old man to childhood. Throughout the story, even as they progress in age, they refer to everyone as “young child” or say things such as “thus is youth” or drone on about other characters inexperience or lack of knowledge (even 50+ y/o adults as the MC is perhaps an 18 y/0), while keeping every romantic interest (even if their personalities match very well) saying things like “how could I ever be attracted to such a child”.
–
It’s ridiculous. This essentially paints the MC into a corner where they can never have intimate interactions with another human being throughout the story and the remainder of their lives.
–
Example: MC would, according to arguments such as SenmiMsS, have to be attracted to a 60-80 y/o as a teen essentially and will never be able to connect to anyone anywhere near their age. This pidgeon-holing of your protagonist is beyond stupid imo and greatly restricts your writing.

Couldn’t disagree more with SenmiMsS.
Initially I 100% agree with your argument as the person hasn’t been in their younger body for long, hence the “old man” in them dominates who they are.
However, as time goes on and the person spends more time in the young body, surrounded by other young people, doing young person things, they will likely acclimate to it and their new environment. I think it is very fair to say that some of their “old” self will still remain.
However, humans are creatures of adaption for one. Secondly, how can you definitively say that it is a 100% guarantee they would be an exact continuation of their “old self”? Do you know how a human brain would handle something like regression? Clearly the brain would be in a different state with young neurons, still placid and forming at a fast rate.
I honestly hate your take and how absolutely firmly you, and so many others seem to hold it.

Idk, I can’t read those stories, where old dude goes back in time to the moment he was 9yo, and he actually acts Iike a child.
This is simply impossible, looking at how he has been in his old days.

It’s a mixture of something old and something new. It’s alright. You may see me ranting a bit in some chapters, especially earlier one though😂 . I mean it MC plot armour was just that annoying. They did a bit of time skip so you won’t have to wait too long for him to grow past the infant stage. So far if I had to rate it, it’s probably between 3.8-4.1 . This is me being generous towards an MC that’s not really my style.

like it. Who cares even this is a common plot with another comic with regressor type. If I like it, i will read it 😆

Not bad, original regression plot. Interesting.
