Wish they go for chapter 100 FIN. Still a good ending. RIP fleas.

There's 3 side story chapters to come, so technically 100 chapters.
I think the ending is good enough as it is, it's a little bland, I agree, but it's a proper ending, and it's not too bad to let a few things pending.
If i can criticise something, it would be to not have response about the origin of the Predator and the System.

At first impressions, this ending felt disappointing. The big bad enemy is pretty bland, the method of fighting it is boring, the majority of the characters are barely involved, and The System suddenly starts making the big decisions instead of the actual characters.
But the more I think about it, the more I can understand at least a few of these things. The Predator is supposed to be an incomprehensible existential threat, which is a huge challenge to represent. It can't just be, like, some guy: Galactus is huge, but not incomprehensible. The way it's been treated throughout the story is analogous to something like our real climate crisis, which is of a scale that most people cannot truly comprehend, and is so large that many feel that they can't possibly do something as an individual.
Which gets into why we only have our two characters here, Mo-ah and Seo Ji Han—and really, this whole ending is mostly about Mo-ah, since Seo Ji Han is primarily here just to tie in the conclusion to their romance. Mo-ah has miraculously been given the potential to actually deal with the threat, and the latter part of the story has consistently been about her coming to terms with the responsibility that comes with this great power. She's the only one capable of saving the world and everyone she loves and cares about, so it's up to her alone to step up. This is the climax of that journey about taking personal responsibility for what only you can do, which is a very sobering one. It's not really something to get hyped up about.
It's an ending that won't be to many people's tastes—it's not even to my own tastes—but I can respect it. Hopefully the side stories can liven things up with some wholesome vibes with everyone.

I mean the power gap between mc and all other characters became so huge that it's hard to see what they could have done that she couldnt...

If I recall correctly, the way it works is that each time he materializes, he materializes for longer. Eventually, he should be able to materialize long enough that he may as well be revived.

More than anything else, I'm just happy for a system manhwa with a female lead! They usually have less focus on the action, but this one went all in! Thank you TL, it was a wild ride!

Honestly I think this was 10/10 stars all the way through. A great read. Funny MC, who often makes silly mistakes but mistakes that are believable. Using the crooked boss's soul stone at the end, fucking hilarious. Can't wait for the 3 final chapters.
That makes me wonder though, why was she crying in the future predictions? Wonder if that will be answered. Miscarriage? Can't have children with the person she loves? She learns the repercussion of a world without fleas?
