    I really think you shouldve mentioned the part where that assassin guy (after being defeated) says how Sung Jinwoo's power will grow as big as his shadow is in the darkness. Its really nice foreshadowing for the next arc (the one with igris) and also goes nicely with the dark mood

      You right. I kept having second thoughts about it because I talked about him entering the darkness a lot, but yeah that scene was hella important

      Also I'm pretty sure Kang Tae Shik, the Psychopathic Assassin was a failed experiment. Also to add onto that I'm pretty sure he was a former player of the System.

      ​@@mr_scorpion096 Sung Jinwoo is the only player, as the system was made by The Architect statue holding the rules of the Cartennon Temple, the purpose of this system was to make Jinwoo stronger to be a receptacle os Ashborn's power, Ashborn the Shadow Monarch.

    His rapid growth is warranted because of all the levelling up he did. The light novel goes into more detail about this. For example, in the first instant dungeon he went into after reawakening, he went through multiple runs of that dungeon. Which is to say, he went through the dungeon multiple times to level up before the system capped his level for that dungeon. That’s when he finally went to fight the boss. There are other examples of this in the entire light novel that show that Sung really did work hard to achieve his strength and didn’t just blitz through the game.

    I completely agree about the darkest arc cause even though other stuff happens later (spoiler free) I think this is the darkest thing that Sung Jin Woo does to somebody.

    I have read this manhwa twice and still never gets old. Some manhwa can never hold up to this one, unless they show the mc to struggle/or elongate his/her fights and show growth.

  • @darktigersharkmax4432
    @darktigersharkmax4432 2 роки тому +39

    The reason they were willing to let prisoners loose in dungeons is because Kang is a B-rank and I'm pretty sure it's stated an average B-rank can solo 10 C-rank hunters with little to no effort and Kang is a *top tier* B-rank meaning it's even safer but like you said it's sus as fuck no matter how "safe" it's supposedly is lol. I like the inclusion of the prisoners because it provides more world building by showing how Gates are so dangerous any hunters capable of fighting are useable even criminals especially since hunters aren't the majority of the population. I don't have a problem with how fast Sung grew but I would've been down if he had a slower growth. Also thanks for actually talking about Jin woo's dying emotions in this arc as many people who talk about it for some reason gloss over it. This was definitely one of the darkest arcs but no where close to the darkest later on shit goes crazy.

  • @paolac.9468
    @paolac.9468 2 роки тому +11

    I personally think it's fair that he level up so fast to at least a b rank, because when you know what's about to happen in the rest of the manhwa (like he's going to face enemies who are insanely strong)and the context of ranking, because it might seems impressive and "unrealistic" in the first place, cause he was an e rank who suddenly jumped to at least b rank in so little time but 1: he was so close to d*ath i think in some way he's lost the fear of dy^ng in a battle that's why he can fight with everything that he has and 2 even if there's a rank i always thought that for example even if 2 people are A rank just because of the type of power one A rank could be a top tier A rank and the other at the very bottom, so i feel like there's some kind of advantage and 3 i really believe the element of surprise and luck saved his ass in a lot of battles at the beginning, like everyone knew him as the lowest of e rank, no one was expecting him to be that strong, so they weren't taking him seriously, until he proved them wrong, and lastly the system gives him a lot of freaking advantage so it's fair, But that's just my opinion...

  • @MrDarksol
    @MrDarksol 2 роки тому +26

    The fact that the MC LITERALLY threw a criminal and have him be killed by goblins......just holy shit! Not to mention the evil guy who killed the other criminals with the MC now losing one of his emotions is pretty dark as hell to say the least. I would say that it is a bit too fast that MC is considered B rank in just a few chapters and maybe consider him as a C - or C + hunter. But considering what power he has.......yeah lol. Also Mr. Sung was suprising a good character, like he apologized and hold his own into that one fight. That made me respect him a hell of a lot and overall yeah this arc was very dark and the fact that MC is REALLY going all Ashen Demon, it will get even more ridiculous. Soild video Donte and can't wait to see the new love interest!

    • @Desaundrea
      @Desaundrea Рік тому +1

      Hunter SONG was always a high class C rank. And Jinwoo didn’t just become a B rank overnight. The web toon and the manwha comics leave out all he had to go through up to his reunion with the Double Dungeon crew. For that you really need to read the lite novels or listen to them on Audible. Also, Jinwoo had no choice but to kill Kang Tashik because the system needs him alive, so it threatens him in the lite novel, kill Tashik or die yourself. As to throwing the r*pist to the goblins, how do you let scum like that live in the human world? You heard the Association lady, he gets time off of his sentence and would be back out on the streets too soon, just to commit more of the same crimes🤷🏽‍♀️. While Jinwoo didn’t kill this man with his hands or daggers, him throwing him to be eaten by goblins was necessary for the world his sister lives in. Besides, the man had obviously r*ped more than 1 girl or woman, and showed no remorse for it. His death was more than justified in my eyes, then again I myself am a r*pe survivor.

    The scariest part for me was the fact that he could obtain other people's skills from their corpses. At the time I thought he would go around killing strongest people to get their skills (and after he became a monarch I was even more afraid he might lose it and go around killing all the hunters, cause they can not level up but his shadows can)
