Ore Dake Level Up na Ken / Solo Leveling

The sniffing bs wouldn't be so bad if it didn't directly lead into her falling in love with him, which she totally made the impression to me.

Yep. It's the "He even smells good" part that pushed it into being cringey.

As for the orcs, I was disappointed that the episode didn't end with Jinwoo summoning his undead army. Would have made for a badass moment, orc army vs undead army, SEE YA NEXT WEEK!!!11 Oh well.

For me the suspense is fine currently since we don't even know what the orc king wants yet.

What I found disappointing was that Jinwoo likely didn't get any XP from the previous fight since he didn't last hit any of them except for the Predator kill.

If everyone else you met smelled like shit, you'd probably fall in love with the first person you met that smelled like cookies too.

Non hunters don't smell bad to her.

[DarthEnderX]

Non hunters don't smell bad to her.

Oh, right.

But non-hunters are weak, like different species weak, compared to her. I imagine it is difficult to have an equal relationship with someone like that.

So what? Suck it up and date the muggle.

True, a morbidly obese, warty, orc-face won't get the same reaction even if they smell the same as hunter Sung.

But non-hunters are weak, like different species weak, compared to her. I imagine it is difficult to have an equal relationship with someone like that. Women, while also weaker than men, can at least stab, shoot, or poison them, but hunters are in a different realm, and she is S rank too.

I imagine it is difficult to have an equal relationship with someone like that.

Not just equal but also relatable. Hunters and non-hunters live in literally different worlds. A relationship where the partner hasn't got the slightest idea of what the other is going through every day might be sometimes strenuous. It could also be that especially a higher ranked hunter would start to feel detached from the normal (non-hunter) way of life and society already. Kind of like war veterans had difficulties when returning to the civilian life. That being said, I'd guess more hunters have a non-hunter partner than another hunter, should they have a steady relationship at all. But it would be all up to each individual what they would want. Perhaps Cha simply is not interested in civilians.

It's for the safety of the weaker party. It's similar to why employers and employees shouldn't date, or family members (even if not blood-related), or teacher and student, and of course, adults and minors. It is rife for abuse.

It's closer to a cop or soldier dating a civilian. Which could also be ripe for abuse, but it would be ridiculous to say cops can only date other cops.

[MFauli]

pls let me be abused by Cha Ha-in.

[shinta|hikari]

Except you can stab, shoot, and poison cops/soldiers. These hunters are kinda inhuman, and they can find you with their powers even if you escape. Honestly, I would never consider getting into a relationship with a hunter. That is too fucking dangerous.

I rewatched some scenes, and I just realised that the weird head-twisting thing from the orc team leader who spoke wasn't a system glitch. It was the actual orc king who possessed the orc team leader and spoke with the human team.

I don't believe the earlier instances, like with the snow elf (I don't remember if there were others), were glitches either. Like Steve Jobs would say (if he hadn't glitched out of life): it's a feature, not a bug. The elf was talking too much, so the system stopped him. That's what it looked like.

[MFauli]

But why glitching anyway? Was it known that the fantasy world was a virtual/digital world?

That seems unlikely because the hunter powers also work on Earth, not only in the dungeons. If you ask me, those distortions, that look like a game with graphics problems, weren't a good design choice from the author. Freezing the character for a moment, and then recovering but talking about something else would have been better, if they are indeed supposed to be living organisms that are just affected by the system. But maybe that wouldn't have looked clear enough to suggest something external is stopping them? Who knows.

[DarthEnderX]

I mean, it shoulda been fairly obvious that it was something like that in episode one, when the fantasy world gave him a stat screen and started sending him text messages.

[MFauli]

But then what Kraco said. How does stuff work in the real world? Or does it mean the "real" world is a virtual world, too? After all, Jinwoo is using holograms there.

[DarthEnderX]

[shinta|hikari]

Magic too.
