With all his memories intact, Roan vows to take advantage of this second chance to not only achieve his previous dreams, but exceed them by becoming a Monarch. With each victory, Roan comes one step closer to reaching his long-awaited glory. But as he changes his past, he realizes that he can no longer rely on his memories to predict the future.

The novel of the series? Or more or less the same with the MC getting a second chance, being a spear wielder and manage to save his young fellas and avoid the tragedy from his past life.

JpBrIn JpBrIn says...

They both start pretty similar, a low-level soldier reincarnates and now, with his experiences and knowledge from the future, aims to become a monarch. Both have the presence of "magic" one way or the other and even their personalities are quite similar, at the beggining at least. I would say that the biggest differences are, first, one is a manhwa, the other is a novel, and second, their character development and how that affects the world, in I am the monarch, the main character seems more connected to the world and the people he hopes to govern, granted that The Story of a Low-Rank Soldier Becoming a Monarch is still pretty recent and doesn't have much chapters, so we might still get a good character development later on.

Both are about the mc dying without accomplishing anything and waking up in his younger body and working his way up in the army from the lowest rank

DrettTheBaron DrettTheBaron says...

Although the execution is a bit different, the main concept is nearly identical, however LRS is much more of a domination story of pure ambition for Chris. Whole ITM is more about seeking the best path for Roan's goal and preventing his own and others mistakes.

Revenge seemed like a straight shot, but high school is a battlefield all of its own!

ryxm ryxm says...

Story of soldiers who died regretful for their shortcomings and being sent back in the past while retaining all their knowledge. Both of these stories have a similar feel because the main characters jump start their way to success by taking advantage of their knowledge of the future. Although God of blackfield is a lot less fantasy and more drama it's still satisfying to see the MCs regain their former glory and beyond

- Similar worlds dealing with Nobel's and such

- key differences is one is reincarnation into a novel, while this one is regression 

- both mcs start off relatively weak, do world-building, and gain strength over time 

- ged is more soceital development-oriented, lrsbam is more strength development however each story contains aspects of both
