first few chapters are really boring and feels like your typical system manhwa. but damn, it got so good all of a sudden.
what makes this story so unique is the way it did justice to ptsd and survivor's guilt. i found myself tearing up multiple times and even ORV, the goated manhwa, has only managed to make me cry twice.
i like this so much too cause it really focused on the sacrifice of hunters and the human aspect of it. most system manhwas i've read have so much OP characters that the dungeons doesn't even feel dangerous anymore. this one really showed the gruelling aspect of being a hunter. being S-Class doesn't ensure their survival, but they still go into those dungeons to protect the world from cataclysm. the heroism is strong in this one and that's really lovely.
MC and ML also has a refreshing dynamic cause MC is the cynical one while ML is the optimist. although they are both good people. this is so damn good and so damn underrated.
the hunters here are tragically outmatched by the dungeons
i just love them both together what can i sayyy. i can take a storm of angst as long as they end up happy
the ending made feel like everything was pointless?? but i think that's the message the writer was trying to deliver. balance and the yinyang stuff.
art and the action scenes are good but something felt lacking. i guess i didn't like that the mc was very much like a y/n that has no actual character. writer also intended that but i just didn't enjoy it. the story also didn't explore much of mc's personal connection with other characters (bcos of the timeframe i guess). good plot can only take you so far if there are no striking characters driving the story and adding stake and their feelings to it. it felt like a tale told from outsider perspective, without the human aspect.
but overall, it's a nice read. damun and his cursed, kinda evil warden is also interesting.
doesn't matter if it's MTL or what, pleaseeee
FF!!! AND SOMEONE PLEASE WHAT CHAPTER WHERE TO CONTINUE
you are an absolute angel. thank you so much ｡◕‿◕｡
i just finished it!! the extras are so good, thank you again for sharing!!
i get that we are all tired of those manhwas disguised as "fluffy" and "wholesome" and then having some graphic SA in it. BUT. this isn't like that. the story has established dark themes since the beginning. i believe the writer won't brush it off or minimize it thru the narrative (praying)
let's not police an entire genre. stories with dark themes are needed. and if we're going to complain about the amount of SA in BL manhwa, take it to those who advertise themselves as cute romance. PEACE!
the character design is too fucking good, along with the art. plus the characters are also all well rounded??? this the yaoi of the year. their chemistry is amazing, the plot is so interesting and mysterious in the right amount. this is everything i needed. (yk what, this lowkey reminded me of monochrome rumour but if there's no isekai and the doomed to die character found redemption instead) i can't wait for more omg. if i had the money, i'd send huge amounts of it to the writer and artist
ts so peak why didn't i read this sooner ugh
