Synopsis
After failing a divine beta test where his noble family met a grisly end, Lee Junghoo is reborn as Jaiden with a second chance at life. Tasked with either saving the continent from destruction or simply surviving until the age of 35, he opts for the latter. To ensure his longevity, he decides to abandon his chaotic household and enlist in the military. This novel reads like a classic regression power-fantasy, utilizing tropes similar to those found in Trash of the Count's Family. It is ideal for readers who enjoy the hidden-strength dynamic and protagonists who prioritize survival over heroism, while those seeking a slow-burn political drama should skip it. The pacing is brisk, focusing on the immediate tension of escaping a toxic family, with the standout quality being the protagonist's pragmatic approach to his second life.

Editorial Review
The story establishes a solid foundation by leaning into popular regression and survival tropes, which typically provide a satisfying sense of progression. A primary strength is the protagonist's motivation; choosing personal survival over the burden of saving the world offers a refreshing departure from the typical savior complex seen in the shounen genre. However, the novel's biggest weakness is its current length. With only ten chapters available, the world-building remains skeletal and the supporting cast is underdeveloped. The blend of action and fantasy elements suggests a focus on combat growth, but there is not yet enough content to determine if the plot can sustain its momentum beyond the initial escape. It is a promising start, but it requires significant expansion to prove its long-term narrative viability.
