I like how the novel is written, the pace is slow and we can see the growth of MC from a wimpy guy who envies, to a guy who wants no bloodshed.

Well, he's smart, unfortunately, the side character couldn't be at MC's level of thought process. It's kind of sad that not many of the side characters could lead or even possess a characteristic that a leader should have, even though they are literally guild leader. They all depend on MC.

Anyways, I like that this novel shows empathy and struggles... more>> that people have. The arcs are nice and there are times where I cried, but sometimes MC's action comes off as abrupt/forced.

Spoiler

Like when he wanted to enter the world of Lefanta Aegim, to me, it comes out of nowhere. And when out of the sudden he recruited a constellation into Earth's team. The same goes to the romance arc. After a day and not with any regression, he decided to fall in love with an NPC. Sure, it's nice that he treats everyone equally, but this romance reaaaally is fast. I feel like at that time, his action doesn't fit his character at all. But afterwards, all is fine. I just need to avoid thinking about this romance arc. But I am okay with the FL though.

Writing: 15/10:

This novel is in a completely different dimension when it comes to storytelling, imagery, and portraying emotions. Im not an expert with this, but its just not comparable to any other translated novel i've read. Literally not even close.....

Story 9/10:

Its not, by any means something super new or original, but you will have a hard time finding anything quite like it. Story is unique, and consistent throughout, at certain times you will feel as if theres a plot hole, or bad pacing but it evens out rather quickly, making... more>> you forget about it entirely.

Characters 10/10:

This part is quite simple, each character has their own growth, backstory, and diverse personallity. Its truly full points 100/100 without exageration.

Summary:

You most likely will feel a bit confused, and even annoyed at the first few chapters, if you dont get a basis for what this novel is about so ill add one for you.

Spoiler

This novel is about the MC restarting in the past with present memories, the story itself however hardly touches this subject after the first arc, and is only used to guide to the MC mostly for the sake of his character development and to speed up certain parts of the story so the pacing is on point.

In other words, this story is NOT about him using his memories of the far future to an advantage, although it is touched on, the fact that he has memories of the future before he decided to go back to kill the antagonist hardly affects the plot at all.

The true plot, in a very simple summary, is closer to the MC doing his best to climb the tower with his comrades.

[collapse]

Romance:

Most realistic romance I've seen in any type of story ever. There are some reveiws that say it is unrealistic or to sudden. Its not in the slightest. The biggest arc in the story so far is dedicated entirely on 2 main characters and 1 or 2 barely appearing side characters. The FL makes the MC fall for her on purpose, and falls for him over time, it is "sudden" but its not wrongly paced at all. Which is how it should be. <<less

This is officially one of my favourite novels... the characters feel like real people and not just tools for MC to use. the plot and the premise is great but the best thing about it is how immersed you get in story and how well it is written.
literally every word makes you feel that it is too good to be true

Let me be frank. I'm unsure whether you can get into this LN or not. It depends on you. You're probably reading this because you love magic, you love OP protags, or even you just love Korean LN (like me).

This is completely different from all that.

Yes, the protagonist is OP, yes there's magic. Hell, everything is still run a skill based system.

... more>> However, none of that is the focus of the novel.

There's alot that's relateable with this story. The character starts with a hero complex, with an obssession over what was "supposed to be" the main protagonist. Yes, he starts incredibly lucky, and it starts out like any OP protag story. But it becomes something completely different.
The protagonist does not only hold righteous values, but they're reasonable righteous values. He simply wants to enjoy the good moments in life, and in order to do that, he does everything he can to make the world around him as "straight and good" as possible.

But it's much deeper than that.

Because the protagonist starts with nothing, because the protagonist understands what it's like to be neglected, forgotten, pushed aside by a cruel protagonist, he does everything he can to make a happy outcome for everyone, even if it means experiencing pain himself. The longer it goes on, the more you realize that this protagonist is not only clever, but actually cares for the impact he has on the world around him, and bases his actions off of his belief in the "right" outcome, even if it mean dying thousands of times. He makes himself remember his pain, and will always go the long way around things.

This LN is a really satisfying series to read, and I will recommend it to anyone who's gotten tired of the "OP Protagonist" trope, that's been so common. Once you get into it, it starts to feel too short just because of how good it is, not because it drags. Best character development I've seen by far in any novel. Combat is short, but powerful and descriptive, and nothing drags too long. If you're expecting badass, Ranbo style protaag, this isn't it. Because this guy is badass in every other way.

I'm going to leave the section for anyone who wants to know what's bad about it:

Spoiler

I have 2 gripes about this novel. One is the Raviel arc. It started really well, to be honest, and had a good setup. But like other reviews, I agree, alot of it was left to an "OOC" experience, leaving much of the Romance to be desired. It's also sappy. I hate that. I understand why the author put it, though.
It's clear that the author is terrible at writing Romances, as seen by this arc, and in order to compensate for this, he stuffs all the romance into 1 small section, so that he doesn't have to consider any of it later. And I think he's right in doing this.
Too often, OP protag novels tend to be oversimplify the romance. This novel is guilty of that, but what it does is it makes the Romance negligible to the overall storyline. The protagonist now has a wife, so what? It means no harems, no silly shenanigans, and the author can focus on what's important, Kim Gongja's character development.

To put it short, the Raviel arc sucks, but was necessary.

The other gripe I have is the goddamn name. I hate this s*upid novel name so much. To the point where I refuse to say it. I'm sure more people would read it if it had a better novel name, because, honestly, this is real good. Like, what kind of name is SSS-Class su*cide Hunter?! It even sounds clumsy.

0/5 on the name, 5/5 for the whole novel.

as of c109:

what the hell this is a great one.

I think it's beautifully written. My brain automatically rejects romance for some reason but this is still great. I like it. It's an immersive reading experience. I didn't have much expectation for this when I started, but hell this is amazing so far.

Don't think this as one of those Korean op dungeon hunter novels.

It begins as one but continues (for now) as different genre in the middle.

It's as if you are having an all in one novel which begins to transform in the suitable genre within each arc.

... more>> Translation is great as they have managed to convey almost perfectly the authors magnificent wordplay.

Don't go on hate it after just seeing first 30 chapters, thinking it as power fantasy and wish fulfilment story.

Sidenote: bad naming choice for the novel, makes it automatically look like a power fantasy generic tr*sh. Maybe that's why the saying goes "Don't judge a book by it's cover". <<less

* Re Reviewed Feb 10th, 2020 *

In long words short, I this is one of my favorite novels I've ever read. Better than 90% of the stuff you can find on this website.

I'll try and avoid spoiling anything, but one of the things that really stood out to me was how there is how there is no epilogue. That's because the story is paced and structured in such an amazing way that there is no need for one. From what I've heard from talking about others about the series, the... more>> point that really feels like the "end" differs depending on the person. For me, it was chapter 363, and I admit that I did cry a bit after reading it. However, that may have been out of the hysteria of staying up until 3am reading hundreds of chapters worth of unedited mtl.

Still, so many series have fantastic runs before failing to stick the landing. Seeing the way su*cide Hunter wrapped up was just MWAH chef kiss. I know how hard it is to properly wrap a series in a satisfying manner, especially with something as long as su*cide Hunter. But holy heck the climax -> falling action -> conclusion transition is just so delectable.

To be honest, it's a lot less world focused than it is character driven, contrary to what I initially predicted. The whole story is focused on Gong-ja and the way he changes and matures while climbing the tower. Pretty common in kr seinen novels, but I'm not complaining.

And can I just say that
Spoiler

the Black Dragon being a platonic female friend is such a breath of fresh f*cking air. F*ck, I've read too many stories where every person with two x chromosomes immediately drops their panties just because a guy they've known for 2 seconds treats them a bit better than everyone else.

[collapse]

To be fair, my opinion is heavily swayed by the unbridled amount of affection I hold for Gong-ja, but I'll just mark that up as another plus for the novel.

The only complaint I can think of off the top of my head is that I wish more characters and concepts had the time to be fleshed out more. I felt that some of the later floors definitely could've been swapped out, combined into one big floor, or just skipped over entirely in favor of something else.

That's all I've got for now. I'll come back and add more if I think of something else.

My Initial Review (at ch39, 5 stars)
Spoiler

TL;DR: I think it's really good, please give it a try.

It's rare that I stumble across a high-quality novel completely out of nowhere. No recommendation, no in-depth description, just a random selection from the home page. But I'm not exaggerating when I say this is some of the best stuff you'll come across on this website, and I'm already in love despite how early on this is. The characters, the world, the future, I want to see more.

As I've already mentioned, it's still fairly early in the story, but what we have is already a treat.

Going in on the first chapter, you're dropped into the world with absolutely no context. It's made clear right away that the world in the novel is unlike our own (as expected since there's legit monsters, kek). Society within the tower has yet to be truly explored, and the author isn't in a hurry to lay everything out for the reader. Even our protagonist seems alien, but it's already apparent that there is something there. But as this is a story that contains a heavy regression element, we'll be sure to see all sorts of colorful things.

kk, that's all I've got for now. I'll come back and edit this if I have more to say.

When I saw the title, I skipped it first with the thought: 'not one of those that add SSS and sui*cide in the title to attract readers but have no substance...'

... That was until I was bored one day and decided to give it a chance!

I regret not reading it earlier. It is in the top 5 shounen Korean novel I have read so far.

The characters have depth. The actions and emotions of the MC are explained well enough to understand him but not overly to get fed up and... more>> skim through it.

The story introduce a novel idea about the tower where people are the ones who decides to enter or not but could not leave afterward if they enter it. But this is not the main point of the story

MC enters the tower and it takes him a long time to awaken (10+ years). When he does, he gets the ability to copy a skill of the one that kills him... the problem is that his ability does not revive him.

Spoiler

But what if his mu*derer had a skill to revive 24h before his death? And what if he was previously a fan of his mu*derer but saw his true evil face just before dying? His former hero could have saved so many people with this skill but chose not to

MC decides to return to the past and change the course of history to save as many people as possible and clear the tower perfectly with the copied skill. The way to return to the past was simple, kill himself 4000 times to the time before his mu*derer awakened

[collapse]

In his journey afterward, he clear the tower floors, unify people, get friends, fall in love and fulfill wishes <<less

literally one of the best novels I've read ever. A lot of ppl are complaining abt the romance but for me it changed my life (in a good way) it was really sudden, however the actual content of it makes up for it.

if you enjoyed orv I would highly recommend this, mainly because it also deals with a variety of topics like orv in a really well done way. You will cry over someone eating dirt. Please read this webnovel. I promise it's worth it.

some other reasons to read this... more>> (spoiler tagging bc they only show up much later in the novel) (everything is taken out of context but don't read if you hate spoilers) :

Spoiler

- an actual male / female friendship which is only a friendship

- the god of the world is a poly lesbian

- as stated before you will cry over someone eating literal dirt

- the MC marrying into the FLs family, thus having him call her (at least in this translation) his husband

- in one arc snails ens*ave goblins humans mermaids vampires elves and ogres

[collapse]

anyways please read this it is so worth it <<less

Tbh I don't really know what to think about this.

I don't think it's bad... Well, the beginning is rough but it does have good points. I read around 60 chapters and I just... stopped. No specific reason. I just felt bored overall from the novel and couldn't be bothered to read anymore, telling myself each day "I'll just read it another day". But one week later, I kinda had to just accept - yeah, I'm dropping it lol.

Characters are fairly interesting but fairly flat too.

Story is yet another "Let's climb... more>> the tower" (to keep it simple and fairly spoiler-free). I dunno why Korean are so obsessed by this stereotype but I can't say I ever liked it. Maybe I would have liked it more if I read it 5 years ago when I wasn't so fed up with this specific subgenre.

Cheats are too cheaty. Even the "penalty" is like an extra reward...

But overall dunno. Nothing grabs me. It's not bad, but not entertaining either. Thus, 3/5. <<less

Honestly I haven't thought about how abrupt or unrealistic the romance is before reading the reviews.

Raviel's

emotions, that I just believed in them wholeheartedly.

On another note, this novel feels nothing like the other tower/game/reincarnation/fantasy/action novels, even though the title might lead you to believe so. Because it's main focus isn't the MC getting stronger and beating stronger and stronger opponents. I'd feel weird calling it an action novel, even though the action is great. That's why saying 'he's too OP because he's just immortal and can redo everything whenever he wants' as a criticism makes no sense, because the whole story is built around that.

I'm also glad the amazing writing got the amazing translation it deserved. Thank you Woopread. <<less

Kudos to the author for writing how a perfectly delusional (1), self-absorbed (2), jealous (3) and most of all.... psychopathic (4) protagonist is supposed to be. Many, just too many kr/Cn/jp novels author fail to make their protagonist truly psychopathic even when they intend to.... but here is an exceptional piece of work where the author has turned his protagonist into a completely psychopath while not even intending to.

... more>>
Spoiler

The novels starts with our protagonist getting an SSS ranked.... or was it just s ranked? S ranked it is...... So at the beginning of the novel our protagonist gets a S ranked ability due to his jealousy of another S ranked hunter (3). He was so exeptionally jealous that even the tower acknowledged it and gave him a S ranked ability....

Now, many people, just too many people are jealous of popular personalities. But our protagonist is the only one who got an ability for it and even that ability is S ranked. Now either he must've been exeptionally jealous for the tower to acknowledge his jealousy and give him an s ranked ability... or maybe he was the only person who was ever jealous of that S ranked or maybe the judgement of tower is bs... Regardless of what it was, it no doubt proves that our protagonist is a jealous person.

(ʘᴗʘ✿) Yay! What a great start it was! So great!!!

Onto the next one...

Our protagonist came across the S ranked hunter and saw that the S ranked hunter was killing a person who is supposedly planning to assassinate him (S ranked guy)... and then s ranked dude noticed our protagonist and killed him...... and the novel ended there..... Or so it was supposed to if our protagonist by twist of fate didn't get his S ranked skill just before meeting this guy. Our protagonist got an ability that needed him to die and when he dies he gets to pick a ability from the person who killed him. And our protagonist was lucky enough to get another S ranked ability (that's two s ranked ability in a day... they seem to fall from the sky for our protagonist... anyway that's not important) this s ranked ability of him let's him go back 12 hour or was it 24 hour? Maybe 3-4 days.... anyway it let's him go back in time, a greatly explained ability I must say...ಡ ͜ ʖ ಡ And somehow the s ranked hunter was unlucky and didn't go back in time.... damn this tower is f-king biased I say.. Of course it was not a fault on the author's part and I'm sure the author has explained why it happened in maybe 399 chapter

Anyway that's not important.... Our protagonist revives! Then he righteously decides that the S ranked hunter is too dangerous to be left alone. He is evil and he must die. So our protagonist starts to kill himself in order to go back to the time when the s ranked hunter has just entered tower. He kills himself many times (1000 times?) and then reaches the time when the s ranked dude has just entered Tower. And then he finds him and kills him. ಡ ͜ ʖ ಡ And of course that is in no way psychopathic. He was doing it because the s ranked hunter was a menace to humanity (1) (4) btw would he be able to go back to the time when tower wasn't even there if he kept using the ability?.... Not important let's move on.... Let's skip to murim world arc. Our protagonist embarks on a journey to understand people's pain through his skill (first one). After all he must be equipped with enough pain to use talk no jutsu (jk). So here we see protagonist going through various form of pain due to hunger. (I) Hunger that makes you want to eat mud (Ii) hunger that wants to make you eat roots (III) hunger that makes you feel like eating bugs (iv) hunger that makes you feel like eating shi----- yeah the last one was probably not there. Anyway our protagonist experience all this pain to know suffering of others (ʘᴗʘ✿) after all the whole world moved around him (not a joke) so of course he must know what type is experience everyone in it goes through (2)...

A person possessing all those said quality of above must be a kindred soul. Soul that oozes s*x appea----- I meant holiness. As we can see he is indeed righteous as author very often tries to tell us that through various means and even directly sometimes. ༼;´༎ຶ ۝ ༎ຶ༽ I feel sad at how hard the author works to teach us dumb peasants the greatness of our Noble protagonist.

[collapse]

A great novel. Exeptional one among kr/Cn/jp nowadays it's almost on par with best novel ever written such as Martial god Asura and Against the god ಡ ͜ ʖ ಡ.

It deserves a 5* for the author's effort only...

Whaaa--? I pressed on the 1* by mistake? <<less

This is one of the best I've read. Although first few chapters are not that entertaining it gets way better.

After seeing the title anyone would feel like this is the same generic thing. But actually this gets very deep later on. The way that author showed emotions of the characters is... great, very great. I don't know how to describe it but this is actually a very emotional novel.

There seems to be some people who hated the romance arc, well I can't imagine why. For me that's the best romance... more>> I saw in an action manhwa. There are actually scenes that made me laugh out loud and scenes that made me embarrassed.

So finally I have to say this is one of the best I've read and I can safely recommend it to anyone. <<less

Currently has catched up with the translations. I must say this also has made me breathless in many places.

To put it simply, the author has woven wonderful words with care and I really am left breathless in every step Gongja took. The journey starts at ending many childs' sufferings from the blazing hell and slowly it becomes more and more awesome. Gongja has really outgrow his old self and I love him so much.

A 5 star indeed.

I've delved into the dark art of MTL because of my heartache of binging new chapters. I gotta say this story is worth the addiction! Though I personally feel the romance part of the story is a bit weak, however, the fighting and training part are both highlights of this novel. Both scratched my itches of longing something epic and full of satisfaction.

The only big memorable minus of this novel is the translator insists using wife/husband word in other way around, which the MC (male) is "wife" and his... more>> wife (female) is the "husband". I know it's for respecting the nature of Korean language, but it's killing my braincells, this is English for god's sake! It's pained me reading it in a span of several chapters. Whenever I think of this novel, my recollection is it's niche and cringe (the husband/wife business).
Spoiler

"Then, shall we go, Raviel?"

"Hmph. I told you to call me 'Husband' in front of others." (Raviel, female)

"Ahh, pardon me. Husband. My mouth isn't used to calling you that yet... " (MC, male)

"My wife is so silly. But I like everything about you, including that part." (Raviel, female)

"I love you."

"I love you."

[collapse]

Just what I've read? Also another big minus for the translator didn't listen to readers at all. So 4 stars.

Overall, the story is very good (which is an understatement) and it's horrible for you if you dislike cliffhangers and struggling against binging withdrawal, plus wife/husband. So painful. <<less

The Murim arc is one of the best arcs I have ever read, everything after that just pales in comparison.

So for me, I highly recommend reading till the end of the Murim arc (ch 87) as a good stopping point, then if you have nothing else to do you can read the rest.
