It's kind of a superhero story with the MCs power being setting a save point and reloading to it when he dies (and some other related powers). The story is about him achieving his "perfect run" after a particular save point.
Something that makes the story a bit different than other timeloop stories is that we enter it kind of in the middle or the end. The MC has had the power for a very long (subjective) time and has already been very affected by it.
The same author actually has an ongoing story that is also a time loop story (this time litrpg), called "The hundred reigns", in which the MC somehow inherits the "evil overlord" class in his sleep one night from his father and has 100 hundred reigns (lives). The issue being that he is a bastard (as in not trueborn), has no power, the court and the world at large doesn't understand how the Overlord class works and believes you get the overlord class by killing the previous overlord and are more than happy to kill the MC to get the class. Also, the empire is threatened by invasion, is on the brink of civil war and rebellion, the Overlord is hunted by a centuries old Elf oracle, and there is possibly an apocalypse on the horizon.
An interesting aspect of the worldbuilding is that people in general don't have "classes" or level at all, for that you need an item allowing you to tap into a cultural archetype as defined by a kind of collective oversoul. Activating the class puts on an armour or costume related to the archetype, like a superhero or kind of how like classes/jobs work in some JRPGs. To level up you can either kill powerful things or act in accordance with the archetype but eventually you probably need to do both, which could be a bit of an issue when you have a class modelled after a literal demon...
That loops are a limited resource leads to things being somewhat different from some other time-loop stories since the MC can't just throw away tons of loops to achieve his aims.
Something like this can easily be caused without your knowledge by a mismatch between your scheduling and your salaried hours.

Depending on local regulations this could be end of year overtime/excess vacation days being paid out as cash due to you going over the limit for how much you're allowed to save on a yearly basis. So if you were like ~7 days over the limit it would show up as a 25% pay increase. These things often get sorted with the January pay due to Christmas and New year's holidays.
