I am reviewing this manga as isekai junkie (someone who likes consuming isekai even if its bad), so please be aware that this will definitely affect my enjoyment and view on the subject. In a time when you have so many copy and paste isekai, its nice to have something that breaks from the mold a little. Although it might not seem like it early on it gets more eclectic/original as you go on. It basically takes an Arifuerta-esc premise, and just stuffs in a bunch of Made in Abyss style depression. If you just blast through it, I think you'll just get much less ... out of it than is there. The manga is less about the plot and is more so about the characters that are in it.

Interesting manga with a shit ending. 6.5/10 (honestly maybe a 6 is already too much, but i enjoyed it besides the final chapter)
The story wasn't developed enough, they rushed everything after a certain part (more than it already was lol) and the character.. Well, he was an interesting character but wasn't developed enough as well. All i can see is a bunch of potential going to waste here.

Maybe this can be described as a shorter, worse version, of "Arifureta Shokugyou de Sekai Saikyou" ? Both have the same problems but arifureta is a little more developed, has a better character and a more interesting story ... (imo), this is judging by the current manga ch. btw, i didn't read the novel.

Anyway, Dungeon Seeker ended like a shit movie that was not supposed to get a sequel, i'm quite disappointed.

---Now to the actual review---
You can read the synopsis, so i'll skip that. The manga goes from 0 to a 100 in a matter of a few chapters, and then it falls under a boring part, returns to a interesting part of the story to end with a completely shit conclusion. If you want a quick read, go for it, otherwise don't bother. What you can actually expect from it is the regular isekai thing, with a darker world and a mc that is ok with killing people. Like i said, you can compare it with Arifureta.

Personally i read this thing within a few days while i was in the bus lol

I read the manga and it was horrible. The main protagonist is dumped because of a weakling he is.
Then of course his only motivation to clear the dungeon is revenge. He goes from goody two shoes to a harbinger of death..?


The girl who seems full of sunshine and rainbows turns into a bitch and then.. ahh i don't feel like talking about it. Characters are too bad. I haven't seen worse. Okay I did (SAO), but still.

The fights have no logic. The mc can doge easily etc etc because his agility is high? That's an asspull because there were monsters who could kill ... him easily in the beginning but didn't because he is "the main protagonist".

The ending was all over the place. The ending was so bad that hunter x hunter (2011) ending seems better. The ending brought new character which was never introduced or mad a hint before.

The ending is not really an ending as I believe they intended to make more manga.

Anyway I will end my review here by saying don't read this manga, there are better ones.
