Wasted potential
With a Hunter Ten Times a Night
It's always bad to start a review by criticizing the work. However, for this one, which I'll call Hunter, it's necessary. Hunter's main problem is its potential — tremendous potential, mind you — wasted. Here we follow the orphan Yeonwoo in a world with monsters, hunters and dungeons. In this world, because of the chaos, a law was created to encourage hunters to take part in the dungeons: if you serve, your whole family is exempt from military service.
You can already see where this is going, right? Not everyone becomes a hunter, and those who do exempt their families... A great deal for rich families who adopt children hoping they'll become hunters and thereby exempt their own sons from military service. Yeonwoo is adopted for exactly that, and from there we meet his "brother" JungWoo and see what unfolds from that relationship and that world.
I'm a real enthusiast of yaoi stories that escape the ordinary and the cliché. I read a lot of magic and fantasy manga and manhwa (like, a lot) and this could have been one of the good ones, you know. Really good. It had everything going for it. But it chose to tell the simplest story. Which wasn't bad. But it was... Okay at most.
The work has plot problems, but overall it isn't toxic, maybe rushed and lazy, but it doesn't fall into the category of works that romanticize abuse. All in all I don't regret reading it; despite being simple it was memorable, and I hope it gets some extras. I recommend it to those looking for something off the beaten path who are fine with something average that could have been amazing.
And yes, for the thirsty ones on duty, there is hot content (in my opinion there could have been less of it and a bit more story).
