Ore Dake Level Up na Ken / Solo Leveling

[MFauli]

It ought to be somewhat pointless to ponder about the hunters vs non-hunters situation, or non-hunters vs dungeons. These kinds of stories don't want to delve too deep into that issue. For example, those crystals. They ought to be magical to be worth anything. So, what if you make a bullet out of that stuff? Besides, what exactly prevents a hunter from dying from exposure to a nerve agent and other chemical weapons? The same goes for living monsters, for that matter. Stories like this simply must assume that it's worth it only for hunters, using their special powers, to enter the dungeons. And then they also use only medieval weapons for the sake of the style alone.

All of these are things that GOOD writing would answer.

Indeed, but the only genuinely good wiriting in this story are the parts that make Jinwoo look cool. That's pretty much the only concern the author ever had. The other characters are pretty weak (as personality depictions and their impact to the story). The female characters are pretty faces, but that's it.

At least only hunters ever entering the dungeons could be explained with the gates themselves. Maybe only someone with mana (that is, a hunter) can enter a gate. Non-hunters would see it but couldn't interact with it. I don't actually remember if this series ever bothered to come up with such a detail.

If you consider how weak Jinwoo, the weakest hunter in the world, used to be, it's impossible to imagine that he couldn't have been killed by a bullet. In fact I don't really see why the magician class, to name one, wouldn't die to a sniper rifle bullet if surprised. The fighters can take a real punch, so maybe they would passively deflect a bullet. On the other hand, if we consider heat energy, Jinwoo did seek protection from it before entering the demon realm. If heat from magic different from heat from a chemical reaction? This story wouldn't want to bother with it.
