| SAUCE Jinwoo is finally here! Y'all don't know how excited we are about his glow-up. And our best boi, Yoo Jinho, has finally made an appearance. Jinwoo decides to join a strike squad for a C-Rank dungeon in order to earn some quick cash and, hopefully, gain experience points. Jinwoo feels skeptical about the party lacking a healer, but as they advance further into the dungeon, the hunters he encounters for the raid, who initially appear to be friendly, turn out to be quite sus. They trapped Jinwoo and Jinho in a cave where the dungeon boss resides, surrounded by mana crystals. In this modern world, of course, there will be some hunters misuse their powers to commit crimes in dungeons where there is no oversight. Without public knowledge or security cameras, they can easily murder or rob without leaving any evidence. They exploit this situation, inviting weaker hunters to join their raids and abandoning them to die. You love to see other characters, such as Baek Yoonho, show up in this episode. Let A-1 Pictures cook, they are cooking for real. Can't wait for more! Thanks for the meal.  |

| We got another trip to the dungeon but this time featured Jin-Woo teaming up with some other hunters and adventurers together. There's also obviously a dungeon boss down there. Looks like Jin-Woo also had some physical changes too since his level up. Jin-Woo got to team up with Yoo Jin-Ho although this dungeon definitely needed more than that. Yoo Jin-Ho feels like the most human character down in that dungeon with his reactions. That dungeon boss turne out to be a massive spider yikes. |
 |
| Yes he got a complete new look, to the point where even ladies are gossiping about him… see making muscles will always have a point lol. Jokes aside, Jin woo’s appearance really has changed, though I must say this is just the start. Grinding day in and out would make anyone this packed up, so yeah not only has he started getting calls for dungeons explorations but has a kind of new confidence when he’s talking with people too. Still a C-rank dungeon with these many people, it’s understandable Jin woo would have some worries, I mean he’s still in the process, but they could’ve given him a better job than carrying their things lol. Jin ho made an appearance with his golden armour, and yeah he’s here to stay, but as luck goes in this series, the party Jin woo and Jin ho were exploring the dungeon with had anything but noble intentions. They lead Jin woo and Jin ho there, to the dungeon boss place, and simply left them to their own means, I mean it’d be easy that way for them to collect whatever there is to be, without even facing the dungeon boss themselves. Yeah, so an actual test for Jin woo now. |

| Man, Jinwoo looks even better in anime form. I never thought we'd get to see times like these. Joining the assault team led by Jinho Yoo to coordinate for the conquest of a C-rank dungeon, Jinwoo encounters Hwang Dongsuk and other party members for the coordination. The party, including Jinwoo and the others, engages in battles, smoothly defeating monsters. While harboring suspicions about being in a party without a healer, Jinwoo pushes forward into the depths of the dungeon and stumbles upon a cave where the dungeon boss, surrounded by mana ores, lies dormant. Jinwoo's been hitting the dungeons and grinding out workouts every day, and somehow, he's got all these girls chasing after him. And the best part? He thinks it's because of some future test results – lmao. They're introducing hunters earlier than usual in the Manhwa, and this time it's Yoonho, who turns out to be a total powerhouse. I mean, he's breaking a big ass brick with his hands – that's some next-level strength. Finally, our boy Jinho makes his debut, and he's just as lovable as in the Manhwa. But those bastards are treating him badly, and Jinwoo won't let that slide. He's gearing up to show them a thing or two. The duo gets betrayed and left to face the boss alone, but hey, that just means more chances for Jinwoo to level up. |
 |
He's finally here. can't wait for the upcoming ep 🔥 |
| I was afraid they're gonna cut the nurse asking for his phone number scene because they already cut the coffee and sand in the room joke. I'm glad they kept it. Next episode's gonna be a banger when Mod Edit: Added spoiler tags; please hide plot details. |

| Daaaamn, how much time has passed since the last episode? Noooooo they ended it right before the fight! Looking forward to a lot of badassery next episode |
 |
| They really had to end it with a boss as a cliffhanger. SMH. Nurses ogling MC's packs like there's no tomorrow... lmao P.S. I'm rather fond of MC's former face than the new one. |
| It's not that I dislike this genre but... to add unnecessary fan services to/in/for heroines and ultimately destroys her character and personality; their purity tarnished because of it, is the only thing I hope to not happen to them. For that sole purity is my fan service. |
| chad jinwoo is finally here huh and jinho makes his appearance too  |
| Bruh. Jinwoo became a gigachad. The One Punch Man training regime paid off. It's a little weird that everyone's taking it for granted though. This episode ended on a cliffhanger again. Probably should've expected it. But I guess it makes the weekly wait more worth it. |

| Jin woo is being such a good guy to know and understand these things. What an episode. Now with confidence he can take on a spider boss because compared to what he been through. This will be nothing. |
| Jinwoo got one hell of a glow up. Bro has all the ladies thirsting for him now lol. Despite all of his training he's still an E-rank Hunter at the end of the day, and is being treated as such on this mission, being nothing more than a pack mule. Knew something was shady about that group after they conveniently "forgot" their tools and were leaving Jinwoo and Jinho behind in the fucking BOSS ROOM 💀 too bad they don't know of Jinwoo's true capabilities so they'll be in for a surprise. |
| People on MAL refuse to actually enjoy watching anime. Your taste in anime isn't a personality trait. MAL is literally just anime Twitter as its own website lol. |
| Another good episode, being betrayed is a very common theme in these series where the main character becomes OP. |
 |
| Jinwoo's getting pretty handsome now!! It looks like he was right to be suspicious about those guys. He's not cowering in fear anymore; it looks like he's gained some confidence. |
| Jin Woo look changed, the nurses all drooling for him lol. He does look cool after all. Jin Ho's here and they ended the episode with cliffhanger. Next episode for the fight. |
 |
| Jesus fucking christ slow but then it escalates and we edge off to the hype. |
 Behold of my awesomeness~ controversial and/or sensitive topics likely devolve into the same repetitive, derogatory, abusive, and harassing comments can no longer be posted. But my feels. |
| so, who is this new guy at MC role? did they change cast? was old one fired or just quit? |
| Nahhh the nurses swooning over Jinwoo is Crazy lmao bro’s glow up is insane. Doing 100 reps of push ups, sit ups, running 10km etc per day definitely pays off. The one nurse begging for his contact info is hilarious Jinwoo went from getting picked on by his younger sister to the protective older brother. Making sure she’s on time for school and her book bag is on properly, cute. Becoming a player and getting stronger seems to have made him more assertive as well. His confidence growing too, love that for him. Time for our first group dungeon raid since Jinwoo became a player. 2,000,000 won sounded too good to be true and it ended up being the case. Had nothing but bad vibes about that party leader from the get go. He was too nice, seemed inauthentic. Leaving people behind to die like that in the boss room is some sinister shit. That “nah I’d win” type moment from Jinwoo when he realised he’s fought way worse than this C rank monster was so fire. I can’t wait to see him take it down next week. Hopefully that party leader gets some karma too 🙏🏾 Fire set up episode. New look Jinwoo is here to stay |

| I was waiting for this Nurse turning to a simp from showing sympathy. The exercise scene........now we r getting on it. It has officially started from now on.........the new look is Fantastic. Manhwa got Justice. Now the Artist can finally RIP in Heaven.🛐 |
| WISHED I COULD ALSO GET TRANSPORTED TO A WORLD FULL OF MAGIC And DUNGEONS, please take me there too if you could ( ◜‿◝ )♡ |
| Finally we got to see Jin-woo in his badass and handsome form. Also we got to see best bro Jinho making his first appearance in this anime. Also we go to see both Jin-woo and Jinho being trapped in the dungeon by some unscrupulous hunters along with the Boss.The boss is a spider.The episode ended on a cliffhanger.Eagerly waiting for the next episode. |

| Last week was better, this episode was a bit tedious... |

Reply to Gavinyeet
So does working out give you a completely different looking face?
| @Gavinyeet leveling up does, I guess |
 |
| its happening they got abandoned and sung jin woo is gonna kill the spider |
 |
| Wow what a scums!! |
| "The future is always blank. Only your willpower can leave footsteps there." "Ruling over death means ruling over life. Death is the climax of life. To have the best death, you must honor life." |
| Yo damn, Jin-Woo got some muscles! (the true motivation for gym, guys!) He's gotten stronger again, i mean he's getting through his training We got Jin-Ho first appearance today And that c-rank team will regret having abadonned him. Now it's time to kill that spider! |
| Jin Woo's perception was right. They really left them to die 😆 |
| An other boring episode... Cringe introduction scene/dialogue. Awful pacing, bland dialogues, 5 minutes of people walking in a cave. Padding and dragging it enough just so they can give you an other cheap cliffhanger to push people to go buy the source material... Regular self-insert power fantasy... Random character training scene that doesn't add anything to the story. Just like that blonde girl's unnecessary scene in the first episode. Even if she'd come back now, I still don't see the purpose of her out of nowhere scene in the first episode, just time padding. Same for that guy training just to fill the episode in... Disappointing show so far, average at best. I'd give it a 4/10 but I'll wait final episode to give a definitive rating on MAL |
| Im starting to like this show I get abandoning weak members, but trapping them on purpose seems pointless? They arent even using them as bait. |
| "This emotion is mine alone. It is for Madoka alone." - Homura or how I would descripe Mahou Shoujo Madoka Magica. |
| Jin-Woo's glow up is crazy. He looks nothing like his past self. |
| Bro took on his original appearance very quickly, we will see him escalate like ever before. Rich kid with DLC overpowered kit, with no skill at all. Jinwoo hopefully can teach him to fight properly, for him to not be that rough. Malignancy reigns, they were left alone. How could they manage to defeat the boss? The real hunt begins. |
| Pking team seemed really obvious; spider is about to die. |
| . |
| Saw a lot of complaints so I'm going to address some of those now: - For the people who just can't accept the pacing and keep coming back to complain after every episode: We already tried a faster pace, and it didn't work out! The ending of the manhwa was rushed and it got a huge backlash at the time. The illustrator of the manga had health problems so he rushed the ending of the series in the last year before his death. He got seriously criticized for this by the LN readers. The anime studio learned from this and they are sticking to the original pace and not rushing things. You can either accept the pace of the anime, or stop watching the show entirely. - The studio is adding scenes of the S class hunters because in the manhwa they were introduced suddenly and the readers had no idea how strong they are until the 4th Jeju Island raid. The studio is fixing this. - Cliffhangers. The arcs have a certain length which is 2 episodes in the first season. It would take drastic changes to get around this. You won't notice these cliffhangers when you binge the whole season after all the episodes came out. - Jinwoo's face, height and voice changed for a good reason and it will be revealed at the end of the story why. |
| he finally stopped being a noob |
 |
| I don't get the logic of this group. Why leave them behind? Because if they make it out and kill the boss they are going to get all the cash you are missing out on. Old dude wasn't lying about scum but these guys are kind of dumb. |
| I haven't updated in years but now I have changed that. I'll be free soon. |
