- what you expect: supposed to be the top hunter with a heck ton of experience in slaying monsters

- what you get: MC doesn't have the slightest sense of caution. I don't know if it's a translation error, but MC abhors ML for being crazy, but he signed a contract with the guy without even confirming the clauses. Getting himself poisoned in the process is all on him.

- what you get: MC's personality seems weirdly written. He wants to lay low after escaping from the rift, but he actively seeks ways to make his life harder. He gets s**ked into another rift while trying to apply for a low hunter rating, proceeds to kill every monster and boss in rift. What is he trying to achieve???

- nothing stands out to me, he seems like the stereotypical psycho obsessed with MC kind of man

- They get introduced and thrown aside like tissue paper.

- Vice of Pado guild: tank guy, supposed to be good at protecting, briefly mentioned to be kind of dumb. Powerless and mute before ML who's his Guild leader. Then how on earth is he suited to be the vice??? How does the Pado Guild even manage to operate if the top boss is a psycho sociopath and the second in command is dumb???

- Honeybee: literally just an influencer

- Minki: suggested to be a info collector with high stealth, actually a boss fearing subordinate who doesn't get to show his strength

- The weapon creator S-class: classic social media user stereotype

- Jung Vin: encountered MC multiple times in the past, mentioned to have a slight second place complex, but isn't allowed interactions with MC for more development of his personality. It feels like he's there to serve as fodder even though I was really looking forward to seeing how he would behave with MC. The scene where he met MC literally ended with "He couldn't recognise me because I was disguised as J" and "He mailed in his autograph to be hung in my hangover soup shop"

It seemed that it was someone else request, that's why sometimes his action didn't reflect this. He just didn't have any goal after returned so he followed it, it seemed he prefered to help and save people more.

It's not really friendship, more like acquaintances and co-workers with decent relationship so it's not weird to me that he didn't think of them too much or didn't try to contact them. Maybe it's better for author's to elaborate or just don't let J think of them at all. Bc in novel if MC reminiscents about someone it feels as if they could be close except they never got mentioned again.

To me it didn't seem LSY was really waiting. He kept mentioning that CEJ kept some secrets from him, but he wasn't even sure that secret was that CEJ was J. He just had suspicions. Then an incident happened and LSY was sure that CEJ was J, and during the same incident/same day CEJ quickly admitted he's J. So where's the waiting time??

I felt the pace was really bad at first, the daily life feel dragging, you know when 3 CHAPTERS of novel got adapted into ONE CHAPTER of webtoon which also didn't feel that long, that it's DRAGGING. There's so much unnecessary narratives that I almost gave up reading. I admit I can only read after chapter 50+ after I read the webtoon. Idk whether I get used to it or the quality just improved, but yeah I feel much more comfortable after chapter 60 when things/plot start to pick up. Bits of extra stuff with side characters become interesting and funny, yes now I know why it's comedy. Its narrative actually already quite funny since day 1 but before when things are slow and nothing much going on reading about a side character eating bread or npc keeping watch of dungeon entrance feel so much taxing! Now I don't care even enjoyed side characters interaction with each other bc I already warmed up to their presence, know their role, and hopefully they won't just dissapear later in narrative. Ig I suggest to read it from the middle like me if you don't like dragging beginning, or just skim stuff that feel like dragging. Happy reading!

wow, MC has cool shiny valuable thing sitting in their inventory etc.

you see examined in the MC's past the struggles he faces as a single individual - as THE singular most powerful human being, and the burdens society places upon him and their emotional toll.

the huge white whale that appears when the 'big bad' happens is almost definitely an allusion to Moby d*ck and the 'unstoppable force of nature' thing, because even when the whale in this story gets stopped..
