This is going to be the start of a pretty long series I’m doing on the podcast and this newsletter. Because I don’t want to spoil readers who actually want to read this series, I’m not going to delve too deeply into what happens in this series. I will however give you a short synopsis from Webtoons.
Sejun, your average Seoul underdog, didn’t expect to grow tomatoes full-time when he stumbled into the mysterious dungeon full of monster quests and extravagant rewards. Yet, there he was, as a farmer growing and selling cash crops while clearing numerous quests that came his way. Will Sejun make it out of the dungeon with the plush rewards he hoped for? At least he has what it takes: optimism, resourcefulness, and a group of loyal furry friends.
This was originally a web novel/light novel series written by an author known as “sdcknight.” The webcomic was adapted by Lim Hyeong and art by Lee Ha-kyoung.
In this episode (and the others following it), I’ll just share some of my thoughts about each chapter covering 5 per episode. While I do discuss what I thought about events that happen per chapter, I don’t do full recaps. Why?
For the people who are reading or read the chapters, you don’t really need me to recap everything that happens. Also ultimately recaps aren’t the point of listening to my podcast. I’m just sharing my thoughts about the stories and I’m hoping that people join in the conversation.
I also acknowledge that some of you may choose to listen anyway without bothering to read the webcomic. I personally could care less about spoilers. There’s a chance some of you are like that as well. So if my episodes convince you to give this series a try, I’m happy you did.
This is a really delightful series and I hope we get a proper ending and not just an abrupt one that unfortunately happens quite a bit with Korean webcomics. I’d honestly be even happier if someone got the rights to the webnovel. I’d buy it in a heart beat!
