Dungeon Odyssey

Description

When the war between the aboveground and underground ended, humanity was joined by so-called "dungeon babies," those gifted with supernatural abilities and an obsession with the labyrinths below ground. Despite being a dungeon baby, Kim Jinwoo suppressed his instincts, choosing to live an ordinary life as a guide and caring for his family. But when an expedition goes wrong and he somehow ends up becoming the new owner of a labyrinth, he discovers that he cannot ignore his instincts forever...

The descendants of mankind, born in the labyrinth and raised on the milk of monsters, possessed special strength and strong bodies. When they returned to earth, mankind referred to them as dungeon babies. Among them, Kim Jinwoo was born in the deepest labyrinth.

“I never tried to become strong, I just wanted to live.”

From the lowliest excavator to the king of the labyrinth, his life story is now unfolding.

if you can get used to the art

It's actually good.

If you've seen any of my reviews you'll know that I hate and LOATHE harem. I can't stand pseudo harems (or reverse harems) either. It's where the male MC gathers a bunch of women with maybe one dude who's never of the same power level as him or same socioeconomic status and/or as good looking as him. For the women, the vast majority of whom will often physically look about 12 but act sexually suggestive/possessive/aggressive around MC.

This one has women, a lot of them. MC collects them like precious Faberge eggs. Various ages, too. HOWEVER, it's not skeevy. The women are drawn so misshapen that it's firmly on the ugly cute, even wholesome chibi, spectrum.

All except the vampire are NOT sexualized. The vampire is sexy but that's just what vampires are now instead of the Nosferatu hideousness of the Silent Film era. She does NOT act coqettish, she does NOT chase after the MC for his body (only his blood LMFAO) and she is NEVER, ever drawn from a gross, creeper angle. Hallelujah.

You never see her private areas lovingly outlined and in high resolution details like in so many revolting manhwa/hua/ga. (Looking at you, Leviathan.)

Even the main naga female character who has her chest on display is not sexualized. Her breasts are out there, sure, but nothing about her demeanor or clothes is suggestive. This, right here, artists is how you draw a busty woman in a skimpy top without objectifying her.

Her clothes, despite being revealing, are cute and fun and actually fits the character. Same for the vampire lady.

Unfortunately, the art did take me months to get used too. I agree with a different reviewer that it is VERY messy. It's not fun trying to figure out what's happening during an action sequence. It's gotten better during the Elf arc though so I'm glad I stuck around.

The art is obviously, highly subjective so give it a go. You might like it! I really do recommend it for the story and how the characters are treated.

Incredible art style and MC

by AviatorNic28

Personally I have to disagree with the other two comments here about the art style. It is unique, refreshing, and most of all extremely intelligent.

The author uses color choice and striking visuals to help the narrative often, like the use of reds and blues to emphasize the emotions or intensity
of great moments. The panel design and art style are top notch, and have a TON of thought put into it.

The main character has a very distinct personality, and his goals are unique to his character, even if they don't seem like it at first.

There are times where the author knows the doctrine of "Show, don't tell", and uses the art alone to convey what's happening rather than a stats breakdown.

All in all, this is one of the best currently updating dungeon type manwha, and one hundred percent worth reading

That's a good story of dungeon building.
MC is OP and likeable.

One trait that I like : he doesn't hesitate to kill his opponents if needed.

I agree that the art is sometimes a bit messy, but that's alright.

If it continues like that, it will easily become one of my favourite.

Decent Story But

by superman89

Rating: 4.0 / 10.0

It's not bad with a little unique spin from the normal isekai or MMO transported plots that's been coming out.

The MC is likable as well as the rest of the cast. The backstory has been told but seems more to be told so that might enlighten us more with further world building or more like dungeon building.

Dropped the rating further with the author milking a backstory about the MC.

The only downside I have to this one is the art. It's not terrible but when the battles takes place with lots of characters or enclosed spaces which is mostly what we'll get, it's messy and clunky. It's off putting and very distracting with the flow of battles.

Not a bad one to follow if you've read most what's out.
