when i first spoiled myself on how the ending was gonna go and how people said it was bad, that discouraged me from picking this back up but im glad i finally finished reading this. +
after continuously reading from start to finish, i realized that that ending was perfect for jinwoo who has always wanted to raid dungeons and slay dungeon bosses on his own while using his own abilities and powers. he was the type to shoulder the burden alone, and the ending reflected that same sentiment. i thought i was gonna be disappointed with the ending, given how many characters were deprived of what they could have been, but i just feel like that was the author’s intention. memory loss is a gift from god. it was a small price to pay for a sense of normalcy. and only sung jinwoo, and now sooho, carry the burden of protecting the peace from monsters that should have never existed in the first place.
i know some may be disappointed with the ending, given how endings that reverted something are usually looked down upon, but to me, this ending was a rare case where a reversion is most warranted. it was the only way for jinwoo to continue living a quiet life while he continues to grow strong alone, a life he always wanted. not to mention there are just too many casualties from dungeon breaks for jinwoo to attempt a life of normalcy. he couldn’t ever achieve a life like that even after besting the monarchs. this was an attempt for a poetic justice ending for a solo player like jinwoo, a hunter that bears the burden alone. an attempt that is greatly appreciated by me, at least.
