The main couple get together at the very end of the novel, but imo the side stories make up for this as you still get ~40 chapters of them together!

I'm not sure if it counts as spoiler but better be safe than sorry. Their relationship is more of a slow burn from a readers point of view - although it may be because I read the censored version? Still, the romance is more of a side quest and they only got together towards the end (I wanted to see more of their relationship but I had to accept the harsh reality.) While reading, I had to constantly remind myself that from their point of view, barely a few months have passed since their first meeting and things were quite complicated because of Yoon Seo's identity, mental state and all the drama concerning the second Great Dungeon. It's more like a "I don't want you to die. - Well, I won't let you sacrifice yourself either."- kind of relationship. Still, it's cute, lovely, sweet and a bit angsty. I love this couple.

Love the fact that the ML went berserk, and got rid of a labyrinth, when he got to know that MC almost died from protecting the others.

Of course, my guilty pleasure is how ML got separation anxiety with the MC to the point where he had to go to conseling and get meds. I mean, it is adorable and sadly realist at the same time after what the MC did to him in the dungeon.

His desire to save not the weak, but the good people echoes in his heart from the beginning, and it's beautiful to see this reaffirmed in the grand finale.

alongside the former Revengers

Kwon Jihan's different skills better (the thing about leveling up and skills that didn't unlock because they weren't at maximum level) and explored the market and experience points more.

the Galaxia cultists. They appeared out of nowhere and did absolutely nothing to become obstacles. At most, they were used for the protagonist's personal growth. I thought they would at least get in the way of the situation a little, but no. They didn't help extraordinarily either. In the end, they were just kind of thrown into the middle of the plot.

And the thieves from The Hunt who also appeared, tried to steal Riceball, died and no one ever talked about them again.

Like, the final challenge, the great danger to humanity, was resolved in one paragraph with a deus ex machina skill. It's pretty anticlimactic, but at least they gave a little foreshadowing that he had that creator trait. Besides, as I said, the novel's proposal was never to focus on the Great Dungeon, but on the MC's struggles.

Yoon Seo's self-deprecating thoughts, the way he tried at all costs not to make himself happy, the palpable relief he felt when he thought about his death...

They sacrificed themselves to save the youngest, even though he was the strongest among them.

Lee Kangjin, who didn't think about postponing the black portal so that Yoon Seo would have a chance to conquer in the future, on the contrary, he wished him peace and tranquility. In the last moments, all he thought about was his two little brothers T^T

72-133.

La Bijina had so much potential to be important, as the only survivor besides the MC, but she only appears in two scenes, and in one of them she barely interacts.

Park Soobin was the most active character in the beginning, but after chapter 72 he was practically forgotten. He made an appearance here and there, but nothing really relevant. It seemed like a 'love triangle' would happen because he had shown feelings towards Yoon Seo, but this was never brought up again. It would be nice to see him realizing that his love was unrequited and how he would deal with it, but it was simply left in oblivion.

The temporary team, with hidden and mysterious abilities, after the MC's identity was revealed, they (except Hong Euiyoon and Hwashim) were completely forgotten. They only appeared to make up the numbers at the end. Why were they hiding? What were their secrets? No one knows.

Even Hong Euiyoon, the one who appeared the most, was kind of left aside. He seemed to have a personal issue of hating and admiring Seo Chaeyoon, but in the end that was reduced to nothing. He didn't have a redemption phase. He just found out and was like "oh my god, my bad... friends, right?" and magically stopped being an arrogant jerk. I wanted to see more of him, but he also only appeared once in a while just to show that there were still side characters in the novel.

Soo Jaehee had a lot of potential to be a character very close to Yoon Seo, like a little brother, but he only appeared to support the narrative when Kwon Jihan couldn't.

Lee Domin and Lee Kangjin are the 'ghosts that haunt the narrative', but we don't see many memories that make us empathize with them so much. It's tragic, it made my heart ache, but it didn't give me thaaaat absurd weight because we don't have enough details to build a connection with them. The information we have about them is very little, and if we put it together it would be about 2 chapters at most. That's too little for the characters that have the most impact in a 170-chapter novel.
