I can't believe this has no reviews as of 51 released chapters. It's honestly peak and I'm only giving it a 9/10 because it's still ongoing and there are still many ways to fuck it up.

Anyway, this manhwa has very good humor. Most jokes are honestly unexpected and will almost certainly make you laugh out loud. This humor contrasts with the darkness of the world building, and it doesn't take anything away from it.

The story is very immersive from the very first chapter, and as the chapters go on it kind of naturally builds up to something bigger and bigger and bigger, and this is ... what keeps you engaged. Every chapter, even one that's mostly slice-of-life, feels like is serves a purpose in the grand scheme of things and to build up the next adventure of the leads. And whenever a side-character gets a proper introduction (meaning they're not just a background character), they're always interesting in one way or another.

Honestly, I can't praise thing manhwa enough. People could criticize it for being similar to Dandandan, which would be fair, however it's still fundamentally different. While in Dandandan the entire tone of the manga is purposefully ridiculous, in Legend of Dangun the general tone of the manga is serious, but it's some of the characters that act in ridiculous ways and make you laugh, and there are some characters that are always serious which keeps the tension up.

Definitely worth reading. It's honestly pretty refreshing to read something with peak world building and peak humor. Can hardly imagine someone reading this and thinking that they've wasted their time.
