A very unique take on the hunter genre. The worldbuilding is great, the author really expands on the inner workings of hunter society. Nothing feels like it’s out of place or forced. It portrays hunters and guilds as a business first, which really works well with the South Korean setting, with chaebols, guilds, and associations interfering with each other to keep their power and squeeze the most money. Every character has their own ambitions, goals, and principles which makes the political battles much more entertaining. The main character is incredibly smart, but he really relies on others to survive, so he’s not a mary sue. The other characters and even the villains also show intelligence, making them feel like a real threat.TL;DR, A great strategy and politics novel where every character feels real. The MC is really smart, but can’t predict everything.
