Possessing Nothing Novel

"Possessing Nothing" by Mogma tells the story of a C-class mercenary who began as a No Class, with nothing. After 13 years of survival in the depths of hardship, the protagonist returns to their beginning. This fantasy world features elements like cultivation, dungeons, monsters, guilds, gods, and magic. The protagonist is hard-working, undergoes harsh training, and experiences character growth, eventually progressing from weak to strong. Key plot points include a second chance, time travel, transportation to another world, and a childhood promise. Relationships involve friendship, strong love interests, a romantic subplot, and polygamy. The narrative incorporates game elements and a spear wielder. There's a mention of age progression and regression, a male protagonist, mercenaries, and an inferiority complex. The story also touches on long separations. Initial translation quality is noted as good but deteriorates significantly around chapter 65-70, with inconsistencies in naming due to multiple translators before improving again around chapter 85-90. There's a spoiler about potential enemies of the MC dying unexpectedly in the first 70 chapters. Some readers describe the MC as spineless, while others defend their reliance on a powerful ally, highlighting their helpfulness. One reader notes the absence of a yandere character and compares the novel to "SCOG." Translation is described as MTL-like by some, with a need for editing and proofreading, despite a great plot. There is a note about a manhwa adaptation titled "Worthless Regression."
