The almost-4000 chapter manhwa. It has some random panels like this which I took screenshots of as I read along.
Another example:

Next Chapter! I don't know what he's planning and I can't wait!
To convince someone that they are worthless
To convince someone that they have no value
To convince someone that they do not deserve any help and should be grateful you're with them despite them being worthless
All this is abuse. There is no second way to look at it -> it is abuse. Nothing more than abuse in any shape or form. The abuse in this scenario is used to force control upon the individual by destroying their self-worth.
Bullies do this too. In school, in the neighborhood, or even at work, real bullies don't do the whole "macho man" thing of "I'm big and you're small, so I'mma beat you up." That doesn't work IRL.What they do is they isolate you from others as much as they can, insult you and anyone who dares to hang out with you, and their goal is to psychologically damage you to see the misery on your face.
When you lose your sense of self-worth,
When you feel that you deserve your suffering you will lose your willpower. Losing your willpower will make you an obedient little prisoner.
The emperor set up this scenario to attempt to keep Mabel away from her dad; and he's doing the same thing to Rani. Look how miserable she is. UNACCEPTABLE! He's a monstrous bully!

Literally most rich people in history who had a harem AND every fiction writer in existence: "Yeah, I'mma ignore that."
1) use a plethora of women to represent a harem
and 2) uses the fact that a man having a harem means that he's problematic
Now, I'm monogamous by all means -> and the thing that bothers me when this situation arises is this detail:

Why is there no shame (or whatever) to be presentable when a guest arrives? He obviously knew he was coming, so come on!

"You, who is without mercy, now beg for it. Die."
With that said, someone did make their own animation and put it on youtube, which is neat. (It doesn't cover the entire fight)
Thing is, good written characters can help save a work. Lord knows I recommend some works that are generally mid but the Main Character is mighty interesting and despite the failings, Like... I just wanna see what this person does next.
Overall, I did not like the Main Character in this work. Funny enough, most people seem to agree with me and no one has tried to convince me that he's great or interesting or something.
And with how some characters are written out of the plot, usually
1) The entire plot wouldn't have really happened if Gojo decided to buy food on the way back. This is a miserable way to start.
2) The author (and by extension Gojo) don't understand how math works. To summarize a big part of Gojo's powers, he creates an asymptote around himself which functions as a shield that prevents any attack from reaching him. Also, direct numerical results from complex calculations (as in, the complex field, which deals with the imaginary number "i" which is the square root of negative 1) -> cannot yield "colors."
Source: a mathematician.
Rant aside, 3) having given Gojo functional Saitama-style power, the author spent the rest of the time coming up with reasons for conflicts to happen. I can hand-wavingly dismiss them all with a "Oh, I think I left the oven on. I'mma go pop back in to my place to make sure. I trust you guys are able to figure this out on your own."
This results in number 4) power levels don't matter. There is no functional way to know who is stronger than who other than just wait for the author have one win a fight between them.
I can't imagine how miserable it must've been waiting for updates for this work because it's complete nonsense that's also boring. I've heard the argument that the author wanted to end it back in Shibuya but it was boring long before then too. Also, the memes that formed from this manga are better than it, so uhh...
yeah.... overall, 2/10. I don't recommend it.
Instead, I recommend that you go read Hardcore Leveling Warrior. JJK felt like it was ripping off HCLW at times as it raises the stakes to prevent a situation from being resolved too easily -> adding tension. Thing is, where JJK fails, HCLW succeeds. I can promise you the entire finale of season 2 (which was originally the final ending of the manhwa before it was revived for another season) will have you at the edge of your seat because unlike Gege, Kim Se Hun knows how to cook!

This is a "Dungeon Hunting" manhwa. You know what this means: there are dungeons, people get abilities and go inside to clear them to get loot; video game menus and mechanics, leveling up, etc. This is the basis and how it starts off but it eventually walks off this path to pursue a larger goal.
To address a few things:
1) I don't get why people hate Mr. Main Character. He's the main character who marches to the beat of his own drum. He is strangely compassionate for a ruthless person but the more you learn and understand everything he has experienced, the more it makes sense. He's a complex character who is so used to ruling that it can almost blindside you how far ahead he is planning.
2) This was not axed. This manhwa is based on the novel with the same name; it is 208 chapters, including an epilogue. The story was never all that long, nor is it rushed. The author has a story to tell, struggles to portray, and a mystery to unveil as well as resolve -> and executes all that. It's short because it doesn't waste your time.
The art and combat sequences are pretty good, the characters are well written, the lore of the world(s) is significantly deeper than you'd expect and there is a pretty huge plot twist building up in the background, setting up a devastating scenario which Mr. Main Character needs to overcome.
An example of characters mattering in this work: one random guy who starts off as a no-named extra, on his way to just straight up dying and being forgotten -> ends up becoming one of the strongest allies. It isn't an immediate change but it takes place over the course of around 100 chapters.
As for the main character, he's no Saitama, but he is the Goku of this plot. It's funny how manhwa fans absolutely hate it when there's a "Goku" character, meanwhile DBZ is one of the most beloved manga/anime of all time. You know "Goku!" He's "the main guy" who is effectively "the only good guy that matters" and his combat with the baddies is the only one that matters. If Goku ain't there, then everyone else's job is to "just try their best to not die until Goku arrives." Sure, Vegeta eventually joins Goku in this trope, but the point still stands.
This manhwa features this trope buuuuuuuut, and I'm sure I'll earn someone's ire from this statement: this manhwa puts more care and love into its non-Goku characters than Dragon Ball ever did; except maybe an arc or two in Super.
Overall, 8/10. I'm not IGN so that's a great score.
