- its complicated...
- pros include:
  - **epically drawn** – very visually captivating large scale battles
  - its cool to see a **bad boy** win – his powers aren't the traditional manga protag and he works it
  - jinwoo succeeds in becoming the **sex god** the author sets him out to be
- cons include:
  - at a certain point in the series (like pretty early on actually) the **challenges just...stop**? idk he basically over levels the whole series and becomes this guy

  - nobody else matters at all, which is funny when [one punch man](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/One-Punch%5FMan?ref=bramadams.dev) does it, but the telling is too dramatic to be engaging
  - the **jinwoo dick riding** becomes a bit much, from everyone in the story, directly or indirectly
  - people are OBSESSED with ranking in this story, if a E-rank so much as lifts a piece of paper everyone is like "hOW dID hE dO tHaT?!\~dWcn!@##>??"

#### SPOILERS FOR ANIME WATCHERS BELOW, ENGAGE AT YOUR OWN RISK

- the ****fight with thomas andre** was sick af and worth reading the series just for that hype train
- the ****last boss** was the risk equivalent of a nuclear bomb, but i felt no threat when he was on screen because jin woo is so disgustingly OP
- i literally don't know why cha hae-in got with jinwoo other than that he didn't smell like donkey shit? like ****????**
- the shadow army is legitimately ****awesome**, and their ****personas are unique** and fun every time they're on screen (esp. tusk, beeru, and igris)
- i liked the ****not at all subtle** references to the ****chimera ant arc** during the jeju raid, royal guard and [ant king](https://hunterxhunter.fandom.com/wiki/Meruem?ref=bramadams.dev) included (even the story's main arm was called the hunter association, so...)
- why even bother with the ****national level hunters**? by the time they were introduced to the series literally everyone sans jinwoo was completely irrelevant
