okay i've been keeping this one in for a while. but i gotta say.
see the funny thing about reading regressor stuff -- specifically the time loop stuff, not the "i've woken up in the past after my death (only the once!)", is that you start getting used to some really big numbers thrown around. we're not even following yoo joonghyuk in orv, but you know the number of loops he's supposed to finish at is 1863. if you read sss-class suicide hunter, you don't even get a number, it's just pretty fucking likely that it's over 1863.
the thing about an infinite time loop with an unreachable goal is that the number starts getting less and less important, and deaths get easier and easier and easier. you start getting into the philosophy of infinity and a circle without end and etc etc etc. how many lives were spent trying to live this life? does it matter?
the number is infinitely large, thus the number might as well be infinity. there might be an end, but is it in sight? centuries upon centuries of repeated time, all for a limit that may or not exist.
which is the reason why, when i read a novel where we start angsting about the futility of an unreachable goal and the fruitlessness of being a regressor on just. loop 13...
really? 13? only 13? we're not even in the hundreds yet? hey, isn't it too soon for you to hit your despair event horizon?
