I really like how they actually tackle the trauma that hunters inevitably go through. There is also a generational gap. In most cases they just portray them as toughened, but not with particularly human reactions. Hunters with the new upgraded system, abilities, and strategies can’t comprehend the struggles of the first generation. Out of only 4 survivors of the great dungeon, all of them had suicidal tendencies, two succeeded, one is incapacitated, and the last is just barely holding on. It’s apparently common for current hunters to turn to substances to cope. I think a big factor is that nobody knows about the time stopping ability. It took them 300 years to clear the dungeon, so you can only imagine the accumulated trauma.
