I'm sorry to say this but after season 2 this just isn't the same story. It's not the same genre, those are not the same characters and the feel is completely different. The hook this webtoon had on me in the beginning was crazy. How is Lee going to deal with this yet another insane situation? What's he going to come up with? And honestly the story was exciting every episode. I just loved the psychotic characters and their schemes to survive. The story changes once they leave the tutorial (?) a lot but the story still holds together. Eventually Lee really does climb up thesocial ladder like he wanted to and has seemingly endless amount of money and power. That's when things start to go stale. Every time there are more and more crazy girls in love with him, they even fight amongst themselves for him. Some cringey boomer type scenes come up more often. And what was holding the story together before, which to me were the four main characters interacting and their will to survive, are just absent. Even though there were many girls before it never felt like a dumb harem and now it's just your regular isekai. I have never seen a great character like Lee become an "adorkable" normie, so late into the story.
To be honest, maybe they should've just ended this webtoon sooner. I loved the art and the pacing of the story and most of all the characters. They have now become boring and borderline unbearable. I stopped caring, even though technically few things have actually been resolved. The art has changed also unfortunately. Overall I recommend this webtoon but only until the season 2 or maybe even earlier that that.
