btw, there's a discussion in the community on the pace of this manhwa. for me, this is necessary especially when the story has a deep lore. Each arcs had its purpose for the growth of the mc. Even the romance arc showed relevance when he faught with the constellation killer. In that fight, he saw what he would become if he didn't go through what he did and met the people he did. The constellation killer is his alternate future if he didn't have the sword emperor, leviel, the sect members from the murim arc, the other hunters/guild leaders etc.
It makes sense for this manhwa to thoroughly dive into each arc because it's got some pretty deep lore. If they had gotten more summative, the story would've felt vague when they are already developing the novel work into a manhwa which would definitely take out some internal monologue and specifics.
idk why i care so much i just really like this manhwa ╮( ̄▽ ̄)╭

The world building and storyline of this work is AMAZING. The lore goes so hard
