| Even though Jin and Joo-Hee had to go through this terrible experience in the double dungeon, they both dealt with it in completely different ways. Joo-Hee struggled for a long time, while Jin took his second chance and underwent a huge change that made him not only physically, but also mentally stronger. Therefor I can understand Joo-Hee's decision to retire being a hunter and hope that she can live a fulfilling life from now on. The little conversation between Jin-Chul and Jin was interesting to watch. On the one hand, Jin-Chul justifiably doesn't seem to necessarily believe that Jin was capable of defeating Kang, since Jin had already been examined for a reawakening. On the other hand, he let Jin know that he is now most likely being targeted by Hwang Dongsoo. The fact that Jin only sees this as a reason to become even stronger further confirms his enormous change. If there really is a fight in the future, Hwang Dongsoo has a lot to be prepared for as Jin will continue to make tremendous progress. Hopefully this will end up of being a fight we can look forward to. I was very curious to see what kind of group Jin-Ho would recruit for the C-rank dungeons. However, I was even more interested in how he could get everyone to keep their mouths shut about only him and Jin entering the dungeon. I have to admit that it was extremely clever to create a contractual clause in which 10 times the actual earnings per raid have to be paid back if someone still dares to make this public. Now that Jin has finally learned stealth, this could easily become one of his strongest skills. The reaction of the hired group after Jin and Jin-Ho completed the dungeon within an hour was extremely amusing to watch. With every monster defeated and every dungeon completed, Jin becomes stronger, which was evident from all the new levels he gained. The stealth skill is, as expected, incredibly powerful. The same applies to Fatal Strike and Advanced Dagger Wielding. However, as is usually the case, constant use of such skills consumes an incredible amount of mana, so his focus should now definitely be on increasing his int stat. I love the fact that Jin is able to assess his current strength and thus realized that despite his tremendous progress, he is not yet ready for the Demon Castle. Since I first realized that Jin could learn a job within this mysterious system, I obviously wondered in what way this would be possible. Reaching a certain level obviously makes sense, even if it is the easiest way. With the purchase of all the C-Rank gates, Jin-Ho should have been aware from the start that someone could become aware of it, as seen with Ahn. Ahn seems to be a very attentive person. Even if he didn't understand all the context, he was still able to conclude that Jin must have enormous strength. In the subsequent "recruitment interview" I really had to laugh when Ahn became aware about the gigantic amount Yoojin Construction was offering Jin. The sale of the gates that were actually supposed to be canceled crowned the whole thing and was truly a 5Head move. This may have been a lesson for Ahn that no one should joke with Jin and, above all, not spy on him, even if Ahn also doesn't represent a person who will give up trying to recruit Jin because of this incident. I actually wonder what kind of interaction this will result in, now that another person knows about Jin's secret. Nonetheless I'm really excited to see what the job will look like and whether Jin will be able to choose between different jobs when he completes it or whether he'll only have a fixed one to choose from. |

| Sure anybody would hate to be publicized when you are a typical loner person and all. |
 |
| That's an impressive strike team. I feel a bit bad for that employee. Jinwoo did a good job of making some money off him. |
 |
| Honestly a very enjoyable episode even though we didn't get much action I found it to be fun. Seeing Jinwoo and Jinho be the ones to take on the dungeons by themselves and let the others just be there so they could do it was quite kind of them though I feel that one girl hunter actually wanted to help, maybe we will see her again. The guy who was scouting Jinwoo and looking to recruit him was an interesting fellow, I really liked him and I'm glad he didn't turn out to be bad and it was kinda funny to see Jinwoo pull that play on him. I hope we see him again. Kinda tragic to see Joohee leave the hunters but its very understandable with what has happened to her and her friends I hope at some point she returns. |
 |
| Those guys are making easy money without lifting a finger lol |
 |
| Doing all the dungeons by himself with his mate while all the fake group members are waiting outside that's sure something, and he even managed to scam that other group, Jinwoo is such a mastermind |
 |
| he sold 3 gates each worth 70mill 200mill each LMAO this is some next level barter/merchant/trader skill lol |

| Yooo they're making it as though Jo-hee is about to die, well you might say that's sorta true since she won't be appearing ever again aside from being some background character. I like the direction of this ep, these several chapters that were adapted were in fact rather chill because of the upcoming job-change quest. It made this ep feel relaxing, with nice pacing, a lovely vibe, easy hunting jobs, and some power flexing by Sung Jin-Woo. Not every episode has to be high-adrenaline action. |
  |
| Definitely one of the tamer episodes, but it was really interesting. Jin-Ho and Jin-Woo's start their 20 C-Rank clearing spree, kinda curious how many they did in one day and over x amount of days total cus we see Jin-Woo level the fuck up from them and they're still not finished. I felt it was kinda sketchy to trust 6 other random hunters to not leak anything but the power of 3million per raid to just sit and play cards does it's wonders, still feeling like it's gonna be a relevant plot point though. Was about time a big corporation connected all the dots with Jin-Woo's recent activities and made a move, but wow Jin-Woo's swung back pretty hard. Ngl i honestly didn't really fully understand what was going on with the dealing, but what i took away was Jin-Woo's kept a really level head, played all his card correctly, sprinkled in a few threats and at the end of the day manage to make a deal that hopefully takes some eyes of him and benefit him and Jin-Ho |
 "yabe." |
| Tbh I was a bit bored watching this episode. Action really is the strong point of this story the characters and setting are rather mundane. |
| Boring way to carry out what I thought was going to be a date/romance scene. Basically she just says "goodbye," and that's that. Then the rest is Jinwoo training and helping to build the guild before we are told that now he really has something to watch out for. I'm a little confused what it means when they say that S ranks are totally above the law. Is that a literal truth, or is it something more like celebrity social status? Who runs world governments? Why aren't S ranks running nations? A bit strange. Not sure what this class change quest means for Jinwoo either. |
| What level even is he now? |
 Novels I have read/am reading pending approval: since November 10 2022 |
| One of my favorite episodes honestly. The way they portrayed that scouting meeting was phenomenal, and his behaviour with such power and easiness was perfectly portrayed. Not enough can also be said with how flawlessly they showed the little time skip with the very first dungeons they did, and how impressed everybody was, especially that girl, which is very very cool. The cut to the dream about Jeju was a bit odd and out of nowhere though not going to lie, and it hasn't really added anything to the story. |
 |
| Honestly, retiring is probably the best move for Joohee, although it did look like she might have been getting better, I'm guessing the last encounter got her back to her senses and she realised it wasn't for her. Meanwhile, we got Jinwoo over here making deals and getting quite a lot of money out of it, but I doubt it'll stop that dude from spying on him. |
 |
| She knew her mom was right, but needed to come to terms with it herself. Good on her! Is that high-schooler the one who sits behind the sister of MC? People are starting to put the pieces together on the MC, only a matter of time before more people come after him. However, he played this situation well by seeing other companies value, testing stealth casually (damn it's powerful), scamming the scouter and testing his healing items on other people (I was confused why he didn't try to use with B-Rank victim(s)) We keep getting reminded he's not A-Rank yet, but definitely above B-Rank. I see, both him and us likely didn't see value in intelligence, because not a mage, BUT he now knows many spells, to include advanced ones, so needs mana. 4/5, I feel bad for their strike team being board out of their minds, but at least they are getting payed amazingly. |
  |
| Jin-Woo is starting to attract a lot of attention, he will have to be more careful. |
  |
| A progressive episode where we see Sung finally get into his guild-building endeavors. Also managed to score a job-change quest, and scam a Byakko top official! |
| I'm Bruneian and I like anime. And Manchester United. And fat cats. |
| Joo Hee retires. Jin Woo tells Woo Jin Chul the truth that he was the one who killed Kang Taeshik. In return, he advises Jin Woo to be careful of Hwang Dongsoo, an S Rank Hunter. Jin Ho takes Jin Woo to meet the temporary party they’d use for C Rank dungeons. Among them is Jin Ah’s classmate Song Yi, another E Rank. They met outside the C Rank dungeon gate, and were told to wait while only they two will go. They finished the gate in an hour and the rest of the party is in shock. 3 gates in a day. Leveling up quickly. White Tiger Guild takes a deal of 3 C Rank gates from Jin Woo-Jin Ho team. Finally, a Job change quest. |
 |
| Sung has turned into such a menace! Man's soloing dungeons, scamming people - what a guy lul |
| Damn Joohee is actually retiring. Well good for her. Dongsoo is a fcking S-rank? Sung really needs to level up asap. Sung is grinding in those C rank dungeons. Also he's making smart deals with those business people lol |
 ◑ ━━━━━ ▣ ━━━━━ ◐ "Everything I've witnessed... This whole system you have built has always rejected me. Now I'm ready to reject it. That's why I destroy. That's why I took this power for myself. Simple enough, yeah? I don't care if you don't understand... That's what makes us... Heroes and Villains." ◑ ━━━━━ ▣ ━━━━━ ◐ |
| Sung Jin-Woo's emotional ruckus is wildly inconsistent. And, well, that deal part was anticlimactic. Gigachad McNuggets is truly a sigmalord of trade deals, even if the deal is absolute dogshit and this talent hunter is dumbified to, again, raise our MC to the skies. Joo-He wasnt a character but rather an addon, the Asuna to his Kirito, so her goodbye isnt effective in any way whatsoever. 2/5 |
