Regression LitRPG
Prices and ratings refreshed Oct 24, 2026. Curated Oct 24, 2026.
Regression is the genre's revenge fantasy with a clock: the protagonist dies, returns to the beginning, and this time knows where every trap is. It rewards planning over power, and the best entries make the knowledge a burden as much as a cheat.
