This is one of the worst manga I've ever read to the end (just because it's a prequel to CotA) and now I really regret the time wasted. The pacing is all over the place, starting with a generic MC getting generic powers and generic companion in a generic journey to getting stronger while a generic villain is setting a generic mysterious plot ... except the companions are cast aside and become utterly irrelevant, second challenge suddenly spins out of control and before the character ever even learned the name of his power or had a single real training session we are in the middle of apocalyptic world-shattering events. The villainous plot becomes irrelevant as the villain completely fail on his own without anyone really noticing he did anything and someone else stepping in out of nowhere with a completely new plot.

Huge events happen all the time except we only know they're huge because we're told so afterward, so it falls flat. The characters are inconsistent and badly developed, the fight scenes are confused and confusing, many interesting details are introduced only to be completely ignored for the rest of the story, new events keep popping in out of nowhere, and through it all characters keep talking about how incredibly important some items and events are when we have NO IDEA what they are talking about.

It's hard to care about anyone or anything in this story. You really shouldn't waste your time with this.

Immortal Regis is a good Manwha. The main characters are likable and well-defined, the art is fairly good and it has some good action scenes.

Unfortunately, there are some significant plot development issues. The story starts out well enough as a fully engrossing read. There are fun characters whom you are attached to and everything makes sense. Then Jae Hyuk is sent to that tower and everything seems to become a confused mess from there. You lose track of the characters and the plot as a whole, and it really becomes a lot less fun than it once was when things were simpler and lighter. It reminds me of what became of Tenjho Tenge's plot after a while, suddenly too much is happening and it's so far from the manga/manwha you initially fell in love with that you no longer really care enough to figure out what's happening exactly.

Still, for the strong beginning, the series deserves some credit. With the ending, a reboot of sort sounds like a good idea actually; here's hoping the author can make something more out of the sequel.

The ending is not the ending. Immortal Regis is the prequel of Cavalier of the Abyss which is kind of annoying because it would have been easier on the readers if it was just continued in Immortal Regis. But noooo. There's a NEW series. Greaaatt. /sarcasm.

Overall, the story was great. The last few chapters really got to me, because it made me tear up a bit. The main dude in berserker mode is totally awesome. The fanservice doesn't really bother me because it's not thrown in your face, but if you look closely, you will find panty shots and bouncing boobies in almost every chapter. The character designs are nice and the manhwa is actually very interesting.

This is a great manga series so far cant wait to see whats going to happen next and what it all means its excellently translated and the art work is well done with an excellent story line to it.

Never liked manwha much (probably because it's hard to remember the names), but high marks for Immortal Regis.

As many posters have already pointed out, the ending was abrupt but it honestly didn't feel as forced as others I have read (Shaman King, anyone?). It takes its sweet time with the revelations and builds to a nice climax, and it actually feels like the story is going somewhere. The main character's relationship is nice and complex, and the art is great if hard to follow at times (the tasteful fan service doesn't hurt, either).

Only time will tell if it devolves into the Dragon Ball/Bible hybrid that Bastard eventually became (no, not bitter about that at all). Hope not >o<

To tell you the truth, i like Aflame Inferno way better than this but this is pretty good too. The whole fantasy setting that i like was really good and the story flowed in the begin with the characters but also lost its luster when it was coming to the end.

The art was good and the action was good, i won't even complain about the ending though because their is a sequel for this. Overrall, pretty good.

Nice shounen fantasy-adventure manhwa/manga! The hero is not some lame looser guy & the fanservice doesn't make the story awkward.. like other mangas that ruins the story coz if too much fanservice..

Sojiro888 pretty much sums it up, story falls into peaces rapidly and the reader is thrown into a chaos where it's hard to grasp the sense of anything of whats happening and left with just random chars doing random things for no apparent reason in a building up mayhem, the author didn't even spend one chapter trying to explain and develop the setting and the importance of the events, characters, factions, weapons, etc., It's worth to notice too that the flow of the drawing is terrible, the fights are hard to understand and this also add to the general sense of confusion I got from this soon to be forgotten (by me) series.

This started great but lost it somewhere along the way. Orginal plot and interesting characters but my main issue is a severe lack of character development. It just threw in all these characters and political manouvering which was hard to keep up with and I found at the end I really didn't care who lived or who died or who ruled what and where. I liked that the main character isn't the only one in the entire place who can fight but he does actually grow stronger when he figures out how but the pros fail to pull it up from being a mediocre manhwa in my opinion. Worth a look but not much else.

I loved this series... even if the plot was a cliche, the main character and his development seemed to be the best this series had to offer, but in the last batch the manga lost its way... I won't spoil anything, but I do think if you like the start you should read it till the end...

Now lets see what happens in the sequel >_>
__________________________EDIT:

Ok the Sequel made me WTF more than a few times, and I really wanted to drop it, because I thought no explanation could make up for what was happening in the Sequel... but we finally got a flash back and a pretty good one at that, I am starting to piece the plot together again and it seems good.

Won't spoil much, but:
