Story
Leveling up in C-rank dungeons has become next to impossible for Jinwoo. But an E-rank hunter attempting anything higher? Well, that would raise some serious red flags…so the time has come for a reevaluation. And when the results are back, it’s official-Jinwoo is the tenth S-rank hunter from South Korea! An entirely new world, brimming with powerful magic beasts and elite hunters, is now open to him. But before he can immerse himself in it, there’s something absolutely vital he has to do....

A twist, for some?
Reviewed: 03-29-25
Having watched season 1 and part of season 2 of the Anime, the twist wasn't as surprising, but things are much more interesting with the additional details provided by the book.

Story
“IT’S SHOWTIME.” The news has made headlines-"Korea and Japan join hands to exterminate the terrifying magic beasts on Jeju Island once and for all!” It’s a monumental moment for the people of the country…and it has absolutely nothing to do with Jinwoo. Instead, the newest S-rank hunter’s number one priority is bringing his recently recovered mother back home where she belongs at last. When the situation on Jeju Island takes a devastating turn for the worse, though, will the country's top hunters be strong enough to save the day without him?

The addition of a little political drama helps to add some realism to the story, after all some rivalries go back over a thousand years!

Story
A devastating dungeon break at his sister’s high school is quickly taken care of by Jinwoo...but not before he confirms that magic beasts no longer register him as a human. What’s more, the deceased Byunggu Min sends him a cryptic warning from beyond the grave: Jinwoo’s powers are more frightening than he knows. Left with too many questions and very few answers, his final hope lies in the key to the Cartenon Temple. Jinwoo’s determined to find out who—or what—he’s become, and to do so, he’s prepared to return to where it all began!

Story
Saving a country abandoned by the rest of the world has its benefits—international renown, the expansion of his guild, an invitation to the most prestigious hunter conference in the world—but perhaps the most unexpected bonus is a run-in with another Monarch who brings not-so-welcome tidings. If he’s to be believed, a war is coming that not even Jinwoo is strong enough to stop.

The murders of several distinguished S-rank hunters rock the world, and Jinwoo knows it’s only a matter of time before the perpetrators strike again. The declaration of war comes earlier than expected, however, in the form of a colossal gate looming in the skies above Seoul. With the Hunter’s Association of Korea struggling to adjust to its new normal and the Monarchs picking off the top hunters one by one, will Jinwoo be able to keep everyone safe from the biggest disaster mankind has ever faced?

Great Twist on Stat Screen Fantasy
Reviewed: 03-08-25
Great pacing and an incredible main character help this story to stand out. Still having trouble keeping track of all the Korean names, but each character is unique enough it doesn't detract from the story too much.

compelling characters
Reviewed: 07-30-22
The main characters in this book are interesting. varied, and feel like real people. This an good twist on the classic good vs. evil, light vs. dark. Also it hits many of the fantasy boxes without the characters feeling overpowered. They feel like real people caught up in a fantastic situation. Their extra abilities give them a boost without making them super heros.

Story
The world of magick and the world of man have long been estranged from one another. But some can walk between the two—including Breen Siobhan Kelly. She has just returned to Talamh, with her friend, Marco, who’s dazzled and disoriented by this realm—a place filled with dragons and faeries and mermaids (but no WiFi, to his chagrin). In Talamh, Breen is not the ordinary young schoolteacher he knew her as. Here she is learning to embrace the powers of her true identity. Marco is welcomed kindly by her people—and by Keegan, leader of the Fey.
