Song is truly Jin Woo's first best buddy, truly a very likable character :)

the fight scene was not a full version of manhwa, in manhwa the fight was really amazing, and Kang really gave a good fight to sung. Good episode but disappointed in the fight scene

Fantastic episode once more.Sung Jin-woo vs Kang Taeshik's battle is so beautiful.Really loved how Jin-woo fought in this episode and how he remained calm throughout the entire episode.Also the Stealth ability is really useful and good.


The comment about "If you gaze at abyss,the Abyss gazes back at you" is really haunting.Jin-woo realised that with his increasing strength he is losing his humanity.Let's see how he deals with it.


The Animation in this episode is top notch.Full 5/5 episode.

Yeah battle scene kinda be too quick than i expect. At first i thought they might do that because they want to end it with
. But nope they can't even finish it there and make an awkward cliffhanger smh

The way Sung got the stealth rune kinda awkward as well, should just follow like the manhwa to create more emphasis. Its very important, but nope, its a game after all, yeah your head. Seriously this is such a bad episode after i praise it hard cause of Cha fanservice before smh

Since watching an animation break-down video on yt I've found a new appreciation for the animations in SL, and this episode really implemented so much complicated animations like full-body shots during the fight, really crazy.

I think they could've done more with the fight choreography, but that's where the faithfulness to the manhwa becomes a double edged sword, I guess.
If they change the battle, people will complain. If they stick to it, people will complain.

I also find it absolutely hilarious, that there are appearently still people who, after watching 9 episodes, still don't seem to understand what kind of anime this is lmao.

I'm a little disappointed that the part with the criminal and the boss wasn't shown. In my opinion, some (controversial) character development of Jin-Woo was simply left out.

Kim and Jungho getting killed so pointlessly sure sucks.

Felt like Jinwoo was standing around a little too long. I get he was observing Kang's fighting style but it felt like he was leaving things go on too long.

Great episode, bit i find it a little bit strange, that they left out the part, where he notices, that on of the criminilas is still alive and then proceds to let him be killed by the dungeon boss.

Really disappointing… they just talk and talk and talk… at this pace they need more than 100 episode for the story… feels like the producer doesn’t unterstand the medium and try to re-create the manhwa word by word - this was ok for the beginning but now it’s almost over and nothing really happen - they should shorten this a lot and if someone is interested they can read the original.

i mean i get it, he is special and badass but it is needed to focus on this in every episode ? maybe i’m just to old for „omg he can do this?“ and all that bullshit, just feels like a story for kids :/
@puschie It's badly adapted, and even worse written.

Massive amounts of exposition (talk, talk, talk, explain, explain, explain), so that it's ended up draggy and not particularly interesting.

Animation is nice for the most part, art style is meh, overall a huge disappointment that I dropped once and am now watching on double speed just to get it over with. Won't be watching a Season 2 if one is coming.

Cool fights and animation and all
However, the characters are so f*ing basic that it just ruins the whole feel of the show.
For example, that purple haired guy has such unrealistic and basic motivations and personality that it seems like he is written by a 9 year old (his whole personality is "I like to kill and I'm smug because I'm powerful" 💀)
Sung Jin-woo is the same shit. He is just an edgy basic ass MC whose only highlights are the average anime "cold moment" and how he is getting stronger but is slowly losing his feelings. It is the worst kind of self insert there is tbh

I hope the show's writing and character development gets better as the show goes on but without the animation, music and fights carrying it, it is unfortunately just a generic power fantasy

I hate being like this, but man I just don't get the hype. Jinwoo is OP and its not even a surprise that he wins. Its just a guarantee at this point. It doesn't make me sit on the edge of my seat. No character depth or personality. I don't hate it, but its just way too overhyped for no damn reason.

What I found stupid is that Kim didn't sustain major injuries to his vitals but he died anyways.

@cooldogmom It's hyped for the exact reason you said. The MC is OP. It's literally hyped because the MC is OP.

It's not as much rocket science as people make it out to be.

Not the worst episode, but people hyped it up too much and the animation was just ok. I was disappointed with the purple-haired guy, I thought he would be a more important character and I certainly wouldn't have thought that I would turn out to be a cringe psycho (literally the same as in the previous episodes) meh, but the one-armed grandpa is still cool

Well, an episode with action and another murderer, "wow" (in a sarcastic tone)...

Although it seems that the plot of Sung and the healer has finally advanced a little, will he tell her the truth? I hope so xd.

You know, losing more than 2 liters of blood is fatal for a person without plot armor.

Arguably the best fight in the series this far, the animation and choreography were terrific, along with stellar direction. This may have been the best episode yet.

Looks like Jin was able to learnt the Stealth skill? Or did he just get a Rune? I'm not really sure what that means if it wasn't the actual skill itself. I can't wait to see him use it if he can.

Still guts me to see Kim die though, he had a wife and daughter. Dude should've hung it up when it got a second chance at life.

quite the development here.Jinwoo beating a B rank inverstigator who was out for blood. Looks like his supervisor is an A rank though. Pretty nice of Sung keeping Jinwoos identity hidden.

Really enjoyed this episode. I didn't expect Kang to be a sociopath assassin, but I guess when you're that powerful it allows you to do almost anything you want. I think the idea that Jin-Woo is losing part of himself every time he gets stronger is very interesting. There is a lot of intrigue brewing and I'm excited to see where the story goes next.

damn that was some battle! Crazy that he only just managed to defeat a B rank hunter. I thought he was much more stronger than this, honestly close to S rank if not S at this point but clearly even though he is very powerful, he has a lot to learn and grow.

What a great episode. A-1 is continuing to nail it every episode. Everything is a 1:1 adaptation besides the very first episode which I didn’t see much reason for, but will see. Looking forward to these last couple episodes and if you didn’t read the manhwa you are in for a treat 🍬

Lol, show is plagued by garbage slow pace but this ep we are being thrown right into the action. Frigging hilarious on multiple levels.
And MC's voice actor is starting to reeeeeeeeeally get on my nerves. He's trying waaaaaaaaaaay too hard.
Also, i can read the amount of content we got in these 9 episodes in 60 minutes in the manhwa.
