On Jeju Island, The Japanese S-Rank hunters were completely destroyed. Even their strongest, Goto Ryuji, brutally killed. Chugong really wants to make Ryuji stronger.
“One thing I regret is that if I had known that my novel would be so popular in Japan, even if I couldn't transform Goto Ryuji into a hero, I should have written him strong and cool.
Personally, I wanted him to be calmer, but because of the strength of the enemies he faced, it became so…
Anyway, it's a work with very few flaws and mistakes here and there, but I wish people wouldn't attack me by making up things that don't exist…
We're all fans who love subcultures, we don't need to fight each other, right?” – Chugong
