Returning with absolutely nothing, otherwise known as worthless regression is a story about a person who gets transmigrated into a fantasy world. The mc is immediately tricked and is forced to work as a weakling his entire life, up until he risks his life and miraculously finds a regression stones that allows him to return to the point where he first started, and with this new start the mc obviously does things differently and becomes stronger than before. Pretty standard stuff for a story like this. How this manhwa ends up differentiating itself is in the execution. This story is not really a story about
...
a mc that abuses his knowledge of the future in order to become unparalleled, but more so a murim/cultivation one. The main character is truly talentless in some pretty important aspects and this is a pretty major part of the plot. He really needs to work hard and doesn't become extremely strong in a short time either. The way the main characters personality changes and how his mental anguish is depicted are fairly unique. The characters are all pretty well written and interesting, though it is still a fantasy shounen manhwa so don't expect to much in this regard. The world that he got transported to is harsh, and even though people are kind to the main character, it is made clear that this is in large part due to his achievements (among other things which would go into spoiler territory). In a way this series has an atmosphere similar to a dark fantasy seinen series in that most of the things that happen feel small, futile and hopeless, but it's also not overly depressing. Overall I would recommend you check it out. Especially now that the first season is finished.
