It always tops Naver's search (Basically a Korean Google, Yahoo and MSN combined) weekly, and is talked about everywhere. Maybe not up to DBZ's level, but it makes up the top three Korean webtoons with Noblesse and God of High School. | ||

Well, I'm not korean but most friends I have who are know what it is and read it. ;p It's definitly not as common as DBZ, but keep in mind most manga/manhwa aren't. | ||

I always envisioned that koon's team would be a contender in the factory round, but one strong team just disappeared in this arc. And Rachel's new "strong"? team has now emerged. She doesn't have a strong team anymore. She's most likely going to try to join Lee-soo's team in Floor 30 since they can now go there with the remainder of her team (Apple and the Doc aren't exactly strong people, let's face it). I think the other thing is that Koon knows that he's got a traitor (Apple) and he knows it's related to FUG. Since Apple tried to kill him, he can assume the Doc is as well since he was picked by Apple to join the team, so he knows the Bird is dead/also apart of FUG, probably convincing himself that Rachel is behind this But luckily enough, he's on the 28th floor (which means we're hopefully to see Quatro and the top 5 E-Rank guy join him and they all get to floor 30). Actually, if Koon isn't dead, Rachel can't join Lee-soo's team, since they'll eventually meet up or Koon will contact Lee-soo. So Rachel has to join the team that was prepared for her, unless she just quits the Factory Round and tries to continue on (all the strong teams will want to try the factory round, I doubt any of the weak teams will want to, but will want to take the chance to go further in the tower, so she'll only face weak teams on Floor 30). | ||

Really, please think about where you read if you don't want spoilers, being oblivious "like a boss" isn't exactly charmin Oh of course we know that we're going to find small spoilers here and there, but not an accurate description of what happened five minutes after the last issue is published. Consider the fact that some people, like myself, check on this thread to know when the last chapter is up / see comments on previous chapters. Luckily, I read the last one before reading this poster's summary, but it isn't hard to use spoiler tags. Most people do use them anyway, so I don't really see the big deal...? | ||

You can always bookmark the translating websites if you really wanted to know when they came out. | ||

Lee-Soo already knows Rachel is a fraud. | ||

She has connections, but not to FUG. Head-on is aiding her. FUG is on the complete opposite side since Zahard has the blessings of the Guardians. Head-on wanted Rachel to do something in exchange for his aid (providing Akryung as a teammate). That something was most likely to kill Baam since Baam is a threat to Zahard and the entire system set up by the Guardians (and perhaps to the Guardians themselves). Don't forget that Head-on wanted Baam to fail the first test by rigging it completely. Yu Han Sung probably figured something was up and assigned Hwa Ryun to monitor Rachel so that they (FUG) could keep Baam alive. However, in order to keep a low profile on Baam, it was necessary to "fake" his death so they used Rachel's psychopath personality to stage his death. Yes, Rachel is crazy. But everyone has their own story so I can't really judge. I thought Ho was fucked up for taking his jealousy too far, but I became more sympathetic after learning his background story. In the end, everyone is "human." Except Baam who is an individual who will always stick to his moral code of friendship above all. And that's why he is the protagonist of the story. | ||
