This webtoon actually kinda good, props to the illustrator

 

[hvdvyve]

lmfao!

 

[cadaada]

i see that guild is just trying to kill all 1º huh?

 

[gregger]

Does that make sense if you kill yourself 4000 times? Shouldn't that be counted as 1 because you've killed the same person?

 

[nctzennie]

Didn't he want to die in the hand of the sword saint? It worked out just fine

 

[shubh68]

@gregger
Unless it's a multiverse and each person is living, so he basically committed suicide in his own world 4090 times!! Or did he?

 

[CosmicCat1543]

That's dumb. It doesn't happen in the same timeline. Everytime he killed himself, the rest of the world just goes on. So we're talking about 4901 worlds here, of which in 4090, he's dead. But those worlds don't end.

If it's a time loop in the same line, he would become a paradox since he only got the skill because of the Flame Emperor, and now the Flame Emperor doesn't exist, he never got it in the first place.

 

[Clumsy96]

so. with this logic .. we can confirm that Giornio Giovanna have the highest number of people that he killed

 

[Ironwill]

If we assume the "kill counter" is treated like a memory, then even though he's in a new timeline, the knowledge of his "kills" travels with him when he dies.

In this regard, the kill counter is a very specific mind reading ability.

 

[KuroJapanese]

Wow... him being put in the same level as the person he just killed is really, really cool

 

[scythear1h]

I read the novel (mtl), and this is what I understand.

From what I know, the skill MC got from the Flame Emperor that return time will keep replacing the original timeline with the new one meaning that the timeline where MC dead disappear. This's possible because of the world made by the 'record'. Basically, the skill description is ' delete the whole world future record ( 1 day), but not MC skills or something else.'

@CosmicCat1543 @Ironwill The time travel ability is part of the Tower system, the kill count ability is too. If that ability tell "the number of people someone killed", then yes, the Clockwork skill activated 4090 times so it gets counted by the system that he killed(himself) 4090 times, regardless of any timeline.

If MC actions would get overlooked by the same system that gave it then it could be weird

 

[pakyu1199]

That oldman suit looks really good but his shoes ruined it

 

[Shaiineko]

He wear a suit with a sneakers?? Really??

@CosmicCat1543 The system that allows him to reincarnate is the same system that holds all the skills he takes on, and could theoretically generate those skills without the people he takes them from having ever existed. Likewise, the system itself must exist through time as well.

Each time he dies he comes back to life having 'suddenly gained all those skills' from an outside perspective, which does check out from either an outside perspective or the reality of it, given everyone that gets skills in this system is indeed randomly given it, it seems, and again, internally it checks out given the system itself is the one administering him dying and coming back. It works whether it's timelines or loops, really, since yeah, it could just as easily be the system giving him a new skill regardless.

Likewise the kill counter is generated by the same system, so it also tracking between worlds or between loops regardless makes sense.

Is the system itself a omnipotent plot device? Well yeah, but I don't think anything is particular wrong within that framework so far, it's logical that it's not constrained by things it allows someone else to not be constrained by.
