I Stole the First Rankers Soul (Manhwa) - by LEE JUNG - (6/10)

Synopsis

Genres: action, romance, comedy

Moa Son, your everyday office woman, wakes up to find herself trapped alone in a dungeon. She escapes and awakens as a hunter, only to fall into the dungeon again. She is rescued by the strongest hunter, Jihan Seo, who dies in the process. She obtains his soul and he is bound to her as a result. He promises to make her strong under the condition that she beats every boss monster of every dungeon in the world.

Plot

Dungeon crawling, stat raising manhwa are a dime a dozen nowadays. However, this is the only one I’ve ever seen with a female lead. That automatically gives it some points in my book. Otherwise, the plot is pretty decent. It’s pretty typical to how these stories usually go, but the world building is enjoyable when they eventually get to it. It is all dropped at once in one monologue though. What makes this manhwa enjoyable is the relationship with the leads and its pretty good action scenes. If you’re itching for some action with a dash of romance, this might be for you.

Art

The art in this manhwa is really nice. The action scenes in particular are really well done. It also has some really cool monster designs. The only thing I can complain about is that sometimes Moa’s face specifically can look a little off. I think it’s because her eyes are so big that she looks a little bug-eyed at times.

Characters

Moa is enjoyable as a main character. She’s capable, compassionate, and pretty smart. She is however, quite naive and reckless, and she makes some actions that make me question why she wouldn’t think a little more about possible consequences before she acts.

Jihan starts off as a nice yet distant battle maniac. He ends up growing into a huge softie for Moa. He is good at teaching her how to operate as a hunter and is very overprotective of her. While he is overprotective, he does acknowledge her strength.

Both characters shine more as a pairing rather than as individuals. They physically cannot be apart, so we don’t see them act individually too often. Towards later chapters, they come off a bit like a married couple with Moa as the working wife and Jihan as her avid househusband. It’s quite cute.

There are few important side characters in this manhwa. The first is Eundam Yu. He’s the #2 ranker and leader of one of the most powerful guilds in South Korea. He’s mischievous towards his allies and ruthless towards his enemies. He enjoys flirting with Moa for the sole purpose of messing with Jihan. He’s a fun character.

Another is Ban Seohu. He’s the #3 ranker and is the leader of a separate guild. I’m not the most fond of him. They build him up to be a no-nonsense, unyielding, powerful man but he then proceeds to be fooled and bent to the will of other characters pretty easily. It’s a bit underwhelming. They also try to simultaneously portray him as stone-hearted and a bit of softie. I understand that characters should have multiple sides to them, but he changes back and forth so quickly that it’s jarring. Luckily, he isn’t that important.

Overall

I enjoyed this series. It’s not my favorite of its genre (shout out to My S-Class Hunters) but it’s still pretty good. Definitely a fun series to binge in one day and never touch again.
