Holds the #1 spot on Novelpia's all time ranking and is properly the best GB action novel on this site. The illustrations are exceptionally well-drawn. No romance. Read for the compellingly written villains.... more>>

Here's the deal: only read the Academy arc and then drop it, let your imagination take over for the rest of the novel. Things go downhill fast after the initial arc unfortunately.... more>>

    Telling us to only read the first arc in The Novel's Extra but putting it in a "masterpiece" list? Agree with a few of the other ones here though.

      Ofc I do have issues with TNE especially after its first major arc. Nonetheless there are 2 reasons why I included TNE on the list.

      Firstly, the Cube arc is still one of the best academy arcs on NU, and I haven't read any other novels here that execute the academy arc better.

      Secondly TNE is a trend setter. After it gained popularity, the academy trend became extremely popular in the KR scene. Gab Song the author basically caused the decline of the dungeon/tower climbing trends as most KR novels nowadays are all about academies.

    The author of Dungeon Defence being a "plagerist" is a false rumor that spread with gossip and misunderstanding

      >a false rumor that spread with gossip and misunderstanding

      It isn't mere gossip, you can easily confirm this by checking out namu: https://namu.wiki/w/%EB%8D%98%EC%A0%84%20%EB%94%94%ED%8E%9C%EC%8A%A4/%ED%91%9C%EC%A0%88%20%EB%85%BC%EB%9E%80

      The author writes another superior series titled Gangster Empire which is even better than DD. This time the author makes a conscious effort to not plagiarize anything.
