the great gramps just died not so long ago, and jinwoo even met the enemy it was a strong...

1.Sung Jin woo barely found out that something is going on , we literally saw how he was on the phone talking to the chairman , 2. The gate wasn't supposed to open till a few days later
3.He also wanted to treat his friend (cha ha e ) to a meal and to have fun in case these are his final moments ,
4.U should also take in consideration that the elf mage ( or whatever that strong mage the killed the old chairman is ) didn't attack that long ago , which would result in sung Jin woo thinking they would make their move again later and not now
5.sung Jin woo also had his shadow soldiers on in the city , so he was ready however he wasn't able to exchange places because something is stopping the soldiers as u can see in the chapter
6. Like I said before, Sung Jin woo probably didn't think the strong monarchies we're gonna attack again, plus, mostly every strong hunter was there so he didn't have that much worry

I get where Ur coming , but u should also consider his situation , I'm pretty sure everyone would want to spend their possible final moments with a loved one , for example sung Jin woo , can literally be considered the strongest hunter in the world now maybe ( I said maybe cause I'm not sure) however he saw the strength of ONE of his opponents which resulted in him thinking that this mission might actually lead to his death , that's why he wanted to spend his final moments with a loved one , also , I don't know why everyone is hating on the romance , u get to see a part of his private life , it's not like it ruins the plot or the action, and I want to mention again that U CANT JUST SAY THAT HE DOESN'T DO ANYTHING , what do u want him to do ??? He needs to analyse the situation first so he knows what to deal with , plus how do u want him to do something if he can't exchange places with his shadows as he can't get in contact with them , we barely saw him get in contact with the chairman on the phone , so u can't just say he doesn't do anything when he barely found out .

Not trying to be rude , but before u comment maybe just consider his situation , cause it's not as easy as it seems , as I said before , not trying to be rude , thanks for reading if u got till here , bye bye!! (〜￣△￣)〜

AGREEEEE. It's just one chapter with a SLIGHT romance. Yet some people are complaining

It does ruin the plot. Because they literally had chapters upon chapters of peaceful time where they could've put one romance chapter here, other one there etc. To prep the stage if you will.

Buuuut nooo they just HAD to insert romance into difficoult war time because DRAMA and SUSPENCE!

Also I can literally count on my fingers the chapters that the girl is in. I do not like romance in action because as we've seen here it fucks up the story and characters become way dumber than they were.

Ma guy has been calculating everything this whole story and suddenly he became dumb the moment we get a romance chapter. I mean really, he of all people should know how dungeons are unstable, and that the monarchs can cut his connection to his shadows.

Dungeons can open at any time, there is no "But it was supposed to open in a week". No ma dude, you took the responsibility to protect every Hunter and Korea, so why tf are you thousands of miles away from Seul?

You'd think that someone who thought his life will end after facing a strong oponent (as you said) would want to stay as close as possible to his only remaning family and NOT TAKE ANY CHANCES OR RISKS. For his stupid mistake, one whole guild was wiped out.

If he wanted to take her out to have a meal, he could've done it somewhere close ro Seul.

As I said, I do not hate her or romance, I am a sucker for romance. I just don't like romance in ACTION because most often it's poorly executed (like here). There was no build up. Heck his "friend" is rarely there! He had more live chemistry with the healer girl for the start of the manhwa, and he actually showed some feelings towards her. While with this chick, it's just writers thinking "He's strong and hot. She is strong and hot. Let them be strong anf hot together"

Love chemistry*

Lol. I also don't like romance in action but 1 chapter of romance is fine to me (We have different taste after all).

What you said is really true. They could have put the romance in the peaceful time rather than putting it in this time.

You can't even call it a proper romance. It's just one date This is like an extra before something big happen. The man can decide whatever he wants before going to a war. Why do you people always want them to spend it with family. And there is build up. I don't know why people keep saying that. THERE ARE HINTS. It was veryyyyy subtle because this is action. Author literally threw many hints. If you didn't notice that, it's probably you problem. I think your probably is, more like this is not your ship. That girl only showed up in the first few chapters. Author gave a clean exit on that character. She haven't shown up for so long now too.

Seriously, author gave hints before this chapter. Please read those hints

*I think your problem is* sorry typo error

Honestly I don't give a flying fuck about those hints. Like honestly I couldn't fucking care less. For all I care they could've showed them dating for more chapters. I'd even like that because THEN WE'D HAVE SOME KIND LF EXPLANATION TO THIS. This half baked shit is worse than if they added every aspect of romance gener. This is literally like Legend of Kora ending. They didn't want to outright say they have hots for each other, but they do end up together so they expain it with "Ohh you just didn't read the HINTS"

Like if so many people miss them, they are not even hints, they straight out don't exist.





The problem I have with this manhwa and their intruduction to the romance gener is that they didn't even try to integrate it into the main story line. Those chapters are like a story of their own, and they happen so rarely that when they did the date chapter, it felt plastic, fake, unnatural. Do you know why? Because there was literally nothing before those chapters to indicate that out lovable dense MC would suddenly call a girl he saw few times, on a date. Do you know why we always talk about his family? Because that's what we've been reading for 2 fucking season! That's what the author showed us and made us belive, because that is the version of MC we've seen up until these few last chapters.

MC we saw and learned about for 2 whole seasons would never:

1.Leave miles away when the big battle is about to happen.
2. Leave his only family behind in a city with the biggest gate ever to exist so he can smash a girl he never showd prior interest in.
3. Leave the city and hunters unattended after a big break in security (frost monarchs first attack)
4. Would never forget the fear he felt when his sister almost died because he couldn't use shadow exchange (like it happened here in this chapter).


All in all, we can argue all we want but you will not change my mind on how this is the worst chapter ever because they choose the worst time to execute their romance agenda. And I will never change your mind on how stupid this whole chapter and their efforts to blend the 2 geners is. It's 3 in the morning, my eyes are freaking dry and I cannot argue any further.
Good night

If you FULLY understood the story it was actually well done. If you don't wanna read then don't. Don't leave comments like that when the author did his/her best. Like duh~ ┑(￣Д ￣)┍ there is no such thing as a PERFECT being (except God that is) so the author is just being realistic. I'm sure you make mistakes too and realized that you should have done this and that when something happened.

If you don't push your ideals of what a true MC is, and your other whatnots. The date did made Jinwoo late and Thomas was able to fight the sovereign of Beast only to get beaten up. But this event also made the whole world, who is keeping tabs on the situation know that these monsters aren't just your ordinary foe folks. Do you expect Jinwoo to explain and tell the whole world that only he can fight them before having a concrete evidence. Also, it would be boring if he reveals it himself. After all, there is joy seeing and imagining the reactions of the people. It is to SPICE things up and give us events with angst Dude.

Also, I already repeated this on my other comment but Jinwoo did not know what are his enemies' capabilities until the former sovereign of Death or shadow sovereign explained and answered all his questions all while completely handling the power to him. So he didn't know that the sovereigns can really kill or erase a shadow soldier. And he intended to teleport using the shadow he planted on Thomas. Which we all saw that the Sovereign of Beast kill right? Mr. Ant-who-is-not-Beru. But he was able to teleport after finding another near shadow soldier which he planted on the other S-class.

Also #4, it seems that you either forgot what truly happened or you did not read it properly but Jinwoo was unable to do shadow exchange at that time because of the cool down. He just used it to teleport to the gate at that time so he have to wait for the cool down to use it again. So technically he can still use the shadow exchange when the sovereign of beast appeared but the shadow he intended to exchange has already ceased to exist at that point.

Lastly, some hints are only visible once the event has already occured because not all hints or foreshadowing are obvious to create an element of surprise. After all, if things are already predictable the story will lose it's magic. And some events only becomes understandable after things starts to unfold. If you didn't forget about some things and used some comprehension skills to fully appreciate the EFFORT of the author as a writer even after receiving this kind of thoughtless remarks then you probably wouldn't have even said this.

Seriously, some people should stop doing this and just appreciate the effort of tye author. It's not easy to come up with the twists and turns this days because you have to be original. And writing or encoding takes time because you have to make sure it is comprehensible and will still leave a mark or emotion to the readers. If you don't like something then write it in a paper and burn it. Or perhaps go make your own story and taste what this kinds of critisms feels like when you put all nighters to make something, only to get trashed and compared to other works.

RESPECT needs to be established here.

*the *Criticisms
And for the other typos comprehend it your self since I'm tired explaining things.

We are just giving our opinions bruh

some of ya’ll rlly expect action mc’s to be lonely forever,, they’re obviously going to settle down eventually n it has to start somewhere

Some opinions like that (not yours don't cha worry) can greatly affect the author. It's not easy to be an author folks. Also I'm sure you guys will stop badmouthing Jinwoo after some events. Dude literally sacrificed himself for humanity. He faced the Sovereign of Destruction with equal power as the sovereign of Death or shadow sovereign, the remaining sovereigns and the soldiers prepared by each of the sovereigns in one go. Even with his shadow soldiers he was greatly outnumbered. Mention that each of the sovereigns also has their own Marshal grade and above soldiers and Jinwoo has only 3 Marshal grade and above. Again even with the power of the shadow sovereign Jinwoo knows that he is approaching near death or death here. That's how Jinwoo alone and his army view the enemies. After all, the sovereigns waited for this moment and did some nasty preparation and tricks. Some deaths are heart breaking I know. But realistically viewing it, some deaths are inevitable in a world with gates spitting monsters who knows how strong is. Not saying that those deaths hold no value though. Since I, myself cried buckets and sometimes question whether things will end well too. That's how the author made a good story enough for various of emotions to swell up inside us.

But my point here is please don't criticize the author that much. Author is also a human who make mistakes, feel emotions and get depressed. If a lot of people starts criticizing the author too hard, who knows what will happen then. After all, author is a human being we barely know, so we don't know how author will react. I'm only saying this because I don't want any author get hurt because of those remarks when they pull all nighters and cracked their skulls to nudge their brain to come up with something. Not just in this story but to all webtoons, mangas and etc. So I beg people whoever reads this and felt attacked. If you don't want the story don't leave something that could hurt the author and just stop reading the story. We are all here reading illegally and unable to support the author already because we don't have money ourselves.

You , my man deserve a medal (づ￣ ³￣)づ

I know u said u won't argue and I won't either , I'll just say my opinion , the author gave hints of their romance because he wouldn't straight up say that they love each other and if u won't look at those hints , what kind of logic is that then ? u said Ur a sucker for romance , and in romance u should check the hints the two characters show that their in love with each other, however for some reason in solo leveling u don't check those hints ? I don't really care if it's action , those hints tell you that they have a thing for each other , and if u don't care about those hints , then maybe you just have a problem with cha ha e , plus someone's final moments shouldn't just be spent with someone's family , it can be spent with whoever that person wants , and sung Jin wo wanted to spend it with cha ha e , and yes I agree that the romance was sudden however they do have chemistry , the healer girl at the end felt more as an older sister to him , then as a romantic partner , to me it just seems as though you can't accept him to end up with cha ha e , also , like others said , this was more a lean back chapter before the whole new arc begins as we will probably have loads of fights , plus , I don't know if u people keep on forgetting , however , sung Jin wo can't literally do something instantly when he barely got that call from the chairman , he couldn't contact his shadows and couldn't exchange places with them , what did u want him to do ? Yes it's his fault because he didn't take in calculation that the monarchs may attack again and may do something that will affect his communication with his shadows , however at the end of the day , sung Jin wo , is still human , he makes mistakes as well , just cause he was shown to be op doesn't mean he's not human anymore. Plus about leaving his family , he only did for a few hours and beru was protecting them , and if I remember correctly he was trying to convince his mother for them to move somewhere else but she wouldn't want to , again he wouldn't except anything to happen in that period of time while he could exchange places with his shadows , he just miscalculated , it just shows how he's still human. But again this is my opinion , and I'm not trying to argue.(づ￣ ³￣)づ

Exactly bro, nicely said. Plus if you finish the novel already. Jin woo sacrificed a LOT. Like literally to bring back what is lost and for all humanity to only live in peace. Plus the bonus chapters about Jin woo and Hunter Cha are cute. Too sad Jin woo had to start from the beginning. And if they didn't marry there will be no cute Soo Hoh you know.

Author also said that the plot and everything was already set to stone from the beginning.
