Hello, this is the current translator Min!! I just thought I'd leave my own thoughts on this and why I picked it up here:
Brief summary: In a world with Dungeons and Awakeners. When a dungeon occurs, the Hunters must enter the dungeon and kill its boss to prevent a dungeon break and save the world, ML (Sa Hyeon) is a Hunter who needs MC (Yisun) 's S-class Restorer abilities.
Characters: - Jung Yisun: An S-class Restorer with powerful abilities, but who has cut off all contact with people and gone into hiding after losing his parents in the First Great dungeon explosion, and his friends inside the Second Great dungeon.
- Sa Hyeon:Cool-headed, calculating, and manipulative. An S-class Hunter and leader of the HN Guild's special elite team, Chord324. He visits (read stalks) Yisun and does everything to get him to join his team for the Third Great Dungeon that appeared.
Romance: A slow burn that makes 100% sense considering the two's personalities; One is severely depressed and the other is more preoccupied with exploiting people for his own goal. Although the romance develops slowly, Sa Hyun's insincere yet sweet, sweet flirting gives even me, who's hiding comfortably behind my 4th wall, butterflies.
Pace: Fast paced dungeons, slow burn romance
What I liked:-realistic portrayal of trauma, PTSD and how easily someone can relapse and fall back into their gloomy cocoon, yet it takes everything and more to take a single step outside it
- The slow burn
-I love dungeon/fantasy webnovels and so I might be biased haha, the dungeon action was decent and fit well as a plot device as well, I also loved the 7 wonders theme
-The supporting characters (The rest of the Chord Members) were so loveable and actually had their own moments to shine
-Sa Hyeon (I personally love seeing hot but tr*shy control freaks who see everyone around as a tool to be manipulated and used fall apart when they become aware of their feelings and start feeling helpless hehe)
What I disliked:-sometimes the story drags on and narratives are repeatedly emphasized
- also sometimes the praise for Yisun felt overly exaggerated in writing, don't get me wrong I love him smm but he recognized a pyramid and you praise him to the skies and back? Plsss
So yeah, do read it if you like your dungeons and slow burn bls but do bear in mind it sometimes deals with heavy themes of depression, su*cide, survivor's guilt, umm what else was there uhh anyway
