One day, Son Mo-Ah fell into a dungeon and became a gathering hunter. Son Mo-Ah, who somehow narrowl...

male fantasy is solo-levelling dungeons, female fantasy is saving everyone you love and care about from the apocalypse

just finished reading this today !!!! and i really really enjoyed the fresh take on dungeon story, i'm kind of sick of reading regression story where people has an edge over the story bc they know how the world is gonna end (no hate though, i just think ORV is perfect so i dont want to read anything similar to its veins)

what really stands out to me is actually moa's character - she carries this entire webtoon on her back for me. a lot of the outcome that happened here, as jihan says, is really caused by her innate kindness and genuine desire to want to save people and then the whole world just .... helps her give the opportunity and with her smartness combined, moa was able to take these opportunities and turn them into miracles

yessss sometimes there are some plot holes that i believe maybe if i were to read the webnovel instead i wouldnt be as confused. like in the beginning after jihan died i was so confused as to why no one was freaking out bc of the first ranker died and then only a few chapters later did the story reveal it was bc people thought he was out hunting in other dungeons ??? idk im sure its even more well-written and we have more insights of moa's inner feelings (which im v curious to read) in the webnovel ..... (and i'm a big reader UGH its just i dont want to read badly translated webnovels anymore after surviving 551 chapters of ORV)

MOA DESERVES EVERYTHING THAT HAPPENS HERE !!!
+ ban seojin is so hot if this was an otome game id romance her in every route even if she were a non playable character

(speaking of ORV im glad the system and the dungeon didnt collapse just bc they won against the predator)

i’m absolutely in love with the way this writer writes about women and female friendships since i read make up remover. and my favorite genre is shounen! so when i read this i was just gagged every chapter.

i love that everyone was able to come alive including the original protagonist and they won over the devil and create their own miracles. that was the perfect ending.

Compared to his genius older twin brother Jeong Jaeui, ex-soldier Jeong Taeui thought he was average...

i think what i like about this story is the multilayeredness of both cirrus and skylar’s personality. cirrus is manipulative but hes also gentle and caring (as we can see towards candy). skylar is social but antisocial too at the same time, certainly anger prone but he can also be surprisingly patient and accepting (esp towards cirrus).

in some sense indeed as other commenters said there are some things that are yet to have closures - cirrus’ relationship with his dad is better but it’s still tense, minwoo is still out there getting away for bullying cirrus who had to bear the burn of everything. and ofc chanil didnt know that cirrus used to take photos of him still!

but in the middle of the storm its just the two of them outgrowing their trauma and being each other’s safe haven and forming more good friendships because with at least each other by their side cirrus and skylar are no longer afraid to just be themselves

i like how skylar is more mellow out compared to before and cirrus is calmer like he doesnt have to manipulate people to make them stay. and of course both of them finding real friends that i hope will accept their relationship too (i know my boy chanil would!)

hmm i actually really like the main character hes goofy but he has his brilliant and trickster moments. obviously although he picks up clues he often came into the wrong conclusions which was why in that dangerous world he got increasinly tangled w dangerous people like ilay and the twink (sorry i forgot his name). AND HE REALLY HAS NO SENSE OF DANGER !! what a freak

i actually LOVE ilay’s character in the beginning? and i wish to see more of these in latter chapters too? like he’s so calm, intellectual, and charming. and i would have been drawn to him too despite my reservations abt his murderous rampage tendency. thinking of mads mikkelseon’s hannibal. the conversation between him and tay was funny and all clever banter too. so i suppose i become really sad in latter chapters but i do think we finally get to see the full spectrum of ilay’s character after the tay betrayal arc. clearly dumbass tay didnt realize the thing that hurt ilay the most is him leaving ilya and not about being drugged or SAd. and then after that well the unhinged bl yandere male lead’s obsession and rape arc happened and i definitely feel repulsed by this side of him.

at the same time its really in his nature to act this way as he really is a psychopath and you cant tame a wild beast can you? its in their nature to devour - only a fool will want to try to tame a beast (tay is the fool)

definitely super difficult for me to stomach the multiple rape in this manga and i do feel that if tay could better communicate his feelings and boundaries some of these shits can be avoided - but again as his uncle said tay is actually not very confrontational when it comes to issues related to himself what with him grappling w self esteem issues (and thus i suspect subconsciously tay might just think he deserves all of this shit / his self preservation instinct doesnt kick in)

still all ilay wants to hear is an i like you from tae and as much as i feel like this is a whole ass stockholm syndrome happening here - at the end of the day they certainly match each others freak so i wish both tay and illay a happily ever after (after more suffering on ilay’s end please !!!
