Mixed Feelings

Preliminary (162/162 eps)

It got axed at chapter 162.
Rating Wise, it's 3.5 / 5 stars.
I believe this series came out a few years ago before some of the more popular headliner Manhwa's were released?

How can the OP Newbie compete with ...

Do not read if you don't want to see any conclusion, since the last chapter, 162, is just the MC getting ready for floor 40 and the story ending.
overall it would've been a 7.2 star for me for the story and pacing, but the abrupt axing of this series is ...
