If you want a bit of a “Deadpool” type edge, that hero can purposely kill themselves if they fail the mission to get another go.
Or turn it another way, and we eventually discover they’ve started routinely doing so until they get everything absolutely perfect. They’ve lived multiple subjective “years” in the past few weeks, and it’s begun affecting them much more than they realize…
There’s a series called The Perfect Run that’s basically this. Pretty well written for the genre (I’ve only read the first book). Cyberpunk, fantasy, LitRPG type story off royal road.

Finished all 3. Pretty good but definitely has webnovel vibes.
