That ending just ruined this manhwa for me, and I took off 4 points just because of that ending. I was tempted to give it a five rating instead, but I really liked this manhwa, and couldn't bear to do so. To rush the ending after having the story on hiatus for more than 2 months is ridiculous. To add insult to injury, he ended it after introducing a new main character (zombie oni princess) a few chapters earlier, that's just horrid.
The ending aside, this manhwa was actually quite enjoyable for me. Its a romance story, with a slight dark element to it (which is something seldom seen in romance titles). The characters' personalities were very interesting, although they weren't anything new, they were still fun to watch. The main character is especially likable, despite the fact that he appears weak, he actually has a strong "heart," cause he is able to face his imminent death with a smile. This story had potential, and it's sad to see it wasted.
I honestly hate LIM Dal-Young' way of doing things. He has SERIOUS commitment issues when it comes to his works, and I think the unfortunate end of this particular manhwa is a direct result of that. This guy is currently the author of 8 to 10 ongoing manwhas (that's just stupid)! Since his attention is divided so badly, his works usually are on constant 2 to 4 months long hiatus between chapters, or have REALLY LONG release cycles. Not only is it hard to keep people interested with such long release times, but his works usually become sub-par or by-the-books average products with an added dark element. They start out with great potential or premise, but turn out to be nothing special or original whatsoever (some can even be said to be below average). Prime examples of this are Zero and Aflame Inferno. The MC in zero degrades into a get-stronger shounen arch-type in one of the worst ways possible. Then there's Aflame Inferno which has virtually no character development for 50 chapters (also has been on hiatus for 120+ days). Then there is this manhwa, that had interesting personalities for characters, but needed a lot more character development. Then there's the ending that took something that HAD potential, and turned it into your typical harem/romance manga. The sudden addition of two more potential lovers for the MC was ridiculous. One of which, made no indication that she had feelings for him to begin with, while the speed at which the other fell in love, was just idiotic.
The amount of half-a*sery this guy puts into his works is astounding. The only two works from him that don't make me regret reading them at some point, are Unbalance X Unbalance and The Legend of Maian (and they come pretty close at times). U x U is his best work by far, and TLoM starts slow but gets much better later in the story. These are only manhwa I will ever buy with this guy's name on it.
