I Was the Final Boss

Description

Baphomet is the ruthless, dispassionate lord of the Abyssal Tower, a mysterious, monster-filled dungeon plaguing the human world. Many Hunters seek to defeat him and bring the tower down to no avail. Despite his demonic power, Baphomet grows curious about humanity. One day, Baphomet is defeated by Raven, the strongest Hunter, and realizes that his true wish is to be just like the humans he previously looked down on. In death, he is granted his wish, as he awakens as a human – without his powers!

hmm

Why is MC so emotional as a human? He should have no frame of reference, yet he's so concerned about how he's being percieved. When he was still in his goatform he was much more interesting. He was cold, dispassionate and though he wasn't calculating or smart he made up for it by being curious.

Once he was outside I expected him to not be phased. The "toys" shouldn't have the ability to make him lose his cool every two seconds.

And he's being used by EVERYONE instead of reducing the world to a gigantic playground for his own amusement. I'm only 15 chapters in and it's unbearable. He's just reacting to things. He doesn't act on anything, he doesn't have any kind of curiosity or plans to get better. He's got no idea what's happening to him.

The plot only moves because of literal deus ex machina.

The art is not making any of this tolerable either. Dropped.

The arts good. The story is fine. The characters are like-able? Its a hunter/system story where the boss monster becomes a hunter, its that simple. It follows regular hunter tower plot points with the added complexity of the main character hiding that he is a boss monster. I like it.

Best hunter/dungeon webtoon

It's really solid overall. It has an interesting and unique protagonist, has side characters who have their own goals, and plenty of mystery to the world. The action is fun too. Also the chapters are pretty long which is great.

I don't think it's as good as SSS Suicide Hunter/Omniscient Reader's Viewpoint, but even being in a tier below those is still really good.

Bonus points for not including a "poor wittle Korea" that's bullied by all the other countries, especially Japan.

chapter 21

Rating: N/A

I thought it was going to be good, but everything is just annoying. No Hype moments / No good character

MC's premise is kinda bad in the first place because he finally escape the boredom tower just to become a goofer w/o any redeeming quality

maybe it's just a slow series but the current 21 chapters felt so long to read

Would be great if it didn't manipulate the MC

Pretty good 'evil' character, but the moment he tries to kill, an unseen force of the 'SYSTEM' just paralyzed him, so far always placing him in danger...

It's absolutely infuriating and I can not tolerate it.
The annoying and arrogant characters don't help.
