What I expected by the cover and the name: Avarage Hunter/Dungeon story some kind of traveling here and there. What I got: Unique underworld ecosystem , base building, military tactic, cute unhinged characters and brutal epic large scale battles. Story: 9/10 Odyssey is very fitting name to this manga the MC path that leads to greatest depth of the abyss while he found an empty dungeon or the empty dungeon found him? Start to establish himself in the deth of 9th floor and slowly building up himself to top dog on his floor. Characthers: 9/10 MC at first feels your avarage Joe black hair I'm the hero huntertype. Later this will be completly change as story progress. Supporting chars also well written often chaotic DnD bunch rag tag team. Enemy leaders are smart calculative and effective there are no easy wins in the abyss.

Artsyle: 10/10 Little bit weird at first but later become more more iconic Loading screens are love letters to the readers. Little worker fellas are cute dumplings everywhere are they appear. <3

Final verdict: Dungeon Odyssey have some bumps and slower episodes but overall It's well paced story about an unique world with unique characters and lovely artstyle packed with a large amount of mystery.

A bingeable manhua with the right mix of edge and goofiness. At first the story was a bit edgy with how they handled the main character and the dungeon upgrading and constant fear of death, but as the story progresses it shows more and more heartwarming, goofy and genuinely funny scenes. Interaction between the side characters are actually interesting as they all have unique and memorable personalities. The art style fits the tone and vibes of the manhua really well, switching from really well drawn and serious fight scenes to just pure meme fuel reactions from the loveable cast of characters. The MC also never fails tobe cautious and smart in all of his actions and decisions. He gets very emotional at times, sometimes endangering himself and his kingdom, but he never does anything too extreme.

The politics and world building within the manhua is thoroughly explained but it also exercises mystery really well to build suspense and to keep the readers curious. It is overall a really consumable and enjoyable media that doesn't treat the reader like a child.

Dungeon Odyssey is one of the best manga releasing. The art is gorgeous and suits the tone switching from cute chibi for the less intense comedic moments and for when things get serious and there's great action the artist kick it up to 10 and go all out to get you fully into those fights and pivotal moments throughout. (I personally have gone back multiple times to chapters I've already read just to go look at the art because when I read through I don't take the time to properly admire the work as it flows so well I just keep scrolling) Though I understand thatthis genre isn't for everyone if you like darker fantasy , and (not exactly a genre) "town development" type stories where there is a strong main character that raises up an area and develops with a focus on the side characters around them well trying to amass power outside of their own immediate physical ability's this will probably be a 8-9 for you.

The early chapters (1-9ish) start a bit slow but do a great job setting up the world and things that will come up later. The world doesn't feel it revolves around MC and where it does they give a reason for it that doesn't feel like bull crap. The supporting character i.e. enemies and third parties are honestly even more interesting to me at times then MC and his band of followers.

note:Almost all of this is very positive so clearly I really love this manga I actually only wrote this review because when i went and looked at the ones here along with its current rating of 7.38 I was upset because I believed it deserved more than that at least relative to the other things I've seen get 7's on here. It isn't perfect i can acknowledge that but, this manga is leaps and bounds better that 90% of the manga I've seen in terms quality and I just wanted to see that reflected in its rating. If you read this far thank you and have a wonderful day :).

Do me a favor and read this. For those who have not read past the first chapter, Dungeon Odyssey is a pretty unique story, in which Jinwoo takes control of his own dungeon / labyrinth which he must strengthen and fight other dungeons / labyrinths and cooperate with others. This covers most of the story. Dungeon Odyssey is an incredibly complex story compared to what I have read over the past 2 years. The art style is incredibly good, and is the main reason why this story is so good. The art style complements the story's serious, but also lighthearted tone, and pairs excellently withthe fight scenes. Dungeon Odyssey is a fairly quick read, which you could binge in a day or two, but is none the less enjoyable.

Not bad. Pretty solid tbh. It has an interesting idea about how the character develops that is similar to Solo Leveling, which is a style I really like. It has a cool main character, but the side characters are forgettable. The leveling system for the character and for the labyrinth is the highlight of the series as it is really cool to see his kingdom progress. It has good art as well and pretty solid pacing. Overall, not horrible but it isnt a masterpiece or anything. It does have good potential though and I would give it a shot if you want an easy read.
