Honestly, I didn’t expect my favorite hunter story to turn out to be BL. It explores things that are often overlooked in other hunter stories—mental health, the brutal conditions inside dungeons, and how the early days of the Hunter era weren’t immediately well-established with guilds and all. Even if the kids are OP, they’re still just kids.

I feel sorry for the MC’s mother—she truly loves the MC, but the MC distances themselves from her and grows closer to the ML. Honestly, I would’ve liked it more if there wasn’t that “plot twist” <spoiler>where the ML has loved the MC all along, even in the game, and kills the OG FL because he doesn’t want anyone else by the MC’s side.</spoiler> I’m just tired of that trope—it’s so predictable it doesn’t even feel like a plot twist anymore.

Just average? It was interesting at first, but I gradually got bored. Unlike the usual trope, the ML is a Western Duke instead of a Northern Duke (pretty rare, right?!). With all the Northern Dukes out there, a Western Duke caught my attention—but it turned out not to be much different. Kind of disappointing. The ML is famous for his strength, tasked with killing monsters, cold, hard to approach, etc.—basically no different from the typical Northern Duke. So why even make him a Western Duke in the first place? And the appearance of the SML in the middle to late part of the story was really frustrating. What was the point of introducing him there when it’s already obvious who the ML is? I’m honestly tired of authors adding an SML just for conflict and as a tool to make the ML jealous.

The main character is so cute. He’s exactly the kind of character I love: someone who doesn’t give a fuck about problems that have nothing to do with him. The ML is also such a green flag, especially in the middle of all these black-flag MLs. Reading this story feels so refreshing.
