Why It Should Get Picked Up:
Rated 9.3 on Naver
An excellent survival novel, mc is 40 years old, fighting with everything he's got, for his survival.
The novel has no romance but contains a bit of bromance.
Description: MC is a third-rate villain who remembers his past life as an immortal who couldn’t die. The world he is in right now, is a R18 survival/gore novel. The story of the said novel is about a psychopath who gets pulled into another parallel dimension, called ‘The Other World’. There, he and other survivors must defeat certain monsters to return to reality. The story is more of Infinite/unlimited flow- where characters are summoned to unique spaces and must escape by doing tasks/solving puzzles, etc- where you must follow certain rules but without the ghosts element.
The reason for the novel's name- ‘Theatrical Return’ is because MC along with the original(!) MC

Spoiler

regress every time they die. However, our MC acts like he doesn’t remember.

I read 300+ chapters and I can say without a doubt that this is an amazing novel.
Anyone who picks it up will not regret it!

Why It Should Get Picked Up:
The main character's interactions with the other characters, as well as the dark underlying themes, make the novel an interesting read. The main character, rather than fearing death, has become so detached from pain from the very start of the novel, making his development interesting to see. His character slightly reminds me of Cale from Trash of the Count's Family, but older and more broken. Additionally, the other characters around him appear to have a lot of room for development, especially the original protagonist of the world the main character is a part of, who, unlike the traditional idea of protagonists, has the characteristics of a psychopath. This was previously posted on this forum and picked up, but appears to have been dropped again in March of 2023—it would be great if this was picked up again!

My Synopsis of the Book:
The main character transmigrates into a novel as a minor trashy villain who is hated by the protagonist. He tries his best to help the main character and his group survive in an alternate universe where they happen to be trapped. The universe is apocalyptic, and the group must face many challenging situations. What makes the novel very interesting is the main character's own detached personality and the OG protagonist's unusual character setting where the OG protagonist is actually a bit of a psychopath in the first place. Additionally, the main character's interactions with the others (especially his self-sacrificial nature that appears from the very first chapters) make the novel an interesting read.

Are you still translating?

 

Not sure how many ppl are interested but—
Im a raws reader on Naver so I could potentially post some future spoilers if that helps bring this series some more traction/interests for some ppl

Im not completely caught up on the raws tho becuz im a binge reader type (at chapter ~550 ish rn)

 

The manhwa adaptation Is announced

 

Can you link us to the source? It'd be great if I can share it to let others know about it too thanks~

Btw, I'm planning to pick this up translating/editing cause I noticed MyBlahSystem kinda stopped and since I read some of the chapters last year but stopped. I suddenly remembered just recently about it and it'd be great for others to know about this gem too.
