Ten years after being summoned into the game-like world known as the Whole Plane by mysterious angelic beings, Su-Hyeon reaches the Apex—the highest point achievable through survival, combat, and sacrifice. Yet the cost of victory is unbearable, leaving his journey marked by regret and loss. Using his authority as the Apex, Su-Hyeon activates Code Zero, a powerful privilege that sends him ten years into the past. Armed with complete knowledge of future events, systems, and betrayals, he begins again—this time determined to prevent the tragedies that once defined his rise and to dominate the Whole Plane with absolute precision.
Memorize is a cornerstone of the regression genre, setting many of the conventions later series would refine. Su-Hyeon is not a hesitant or naive regressor—he is a veteran returning with full awareness of the cost of failure. This gives the story a sharp, methodical tone focused on optimization and control.
The angelic overseers and system-driven world establish a clear hierarchy, reinforcing the sense that survival is engineered rather than random. Progression is efficient and deliberate, with Su-Hyeon using foresight to avoid losses rather than chasing risky growth.
While it may feel straightforward compared to newer, more experimental titles, its clarity and pacing remain strengths. Readers interested in classic regression stories, system-heavy survival, and protagonists who operate with cold precision will find Memorize deeply satisfying.
