I was reading it last year when it went in hiatus, I must say it got me extremely frustrated.
Among a sea of trash mangas that have hundreds of chapters, why in the name of everything that is holy, did that mangaka stopped so early. It's criminal

Criminal that it is on hiatus, not really sure what direction it can really go with out ending up in stupid territory (The more human like the minotaur's behavior and thoughts become the more worried I am he will end up on the surface a big human that becomes an adventurer to conquor the labrynth's lower floors.......) guess we will have to wait and hope to see.

Just read chapter 10.1 on an aggregator site, I guess the hiatus is over.

It’s nice to see something written that is different. I’m enjoying it so far and can’t wait to see what waits at the bottom of the labyrinth

Agreed, Art is great, but that seems to be all.
The cycle is clear and there are tons of times the minotaur just has way too much plot armor. The amount of luck he has to overcome each situation is insane and takes away all tension. Other isekais do that, but for a story about a boss monster trying to overcome adventurers as it's main point? It hurts this story more than others.
Chapter 11 seems to finally make some improvements, but I don't have high hopes.

Nice to see an actual story on this site for once, even if it’s a basic one.

This is FUCKING STUPID and repetitive. How can this dude who just fought a group of C-rank adventurers (who are comparable to a B-rank adventurer), fight AND WIN against a genius S-ranked adventurer who fights on the 96 floor and has a shit ton of op items. Shit manga, don't read.

Good story generally, it's refreshingly different from what's out there right now. The plot armor is tooooo bloody thick though. My main problem is the MC progression. He moves from being able to beat and under prepared group of 3 C rankers to without any training, skill or ability being able to beat a bloody S RANK fighter. Even if we factor in him leveling up after defeating the C rankers (which he didn't, he did that after beating the S rank) no where would he be able to much less fight on even footing but beat an S rank swordsman armed with the appropriate gear. He didn't have enough power, training, experience, ability to pull off that herculean feat. A possible B rank beating an S rank. They made excuses later but for me it couldn't fly. Even a later opponent doubted the MC having the ability to defeat the S rank and he was significantly powered up then. It would have been better if MC had realized his shortcomings, fled from S rank, gained exp and other abilities and re fought S rank and won. His luck ability has to be maxed out for this to make sense.

Dude that's what I said, the plot armor is tooooo bloody thick along with his luck meter being maxed out

solo levelling, but the mc is a monster instead.
honestly i just skip all the human stuff. minotaur is mc for a reason.

This would have made a good short story, but I can't imagine it going anywhere good in the long term when given too many chapters to hang itself with.
The longer it goes on the more the author writes himself into a corner, where the MCinotaur either becomes a OP human, or the story ends with the minotaur perpetually waiting at the bottom floor of the labyrnth forever as the final boss, or (and this is where my money is) the little kids we keep seeing orphaned by him grow up into a Hero's party - all of which die taking out the minotaur.....who dies finally content or some shit.

Nahhh man. I truly don't understand people. They see a story, with a well thought out process and clear progression, call that boring, but then give the most average shiit, which the author didn't give more than 1 thought about an 8 or a 9.
Sure, I will say that the possible actions of the MC and other characters are limited by the worldbuilding, backstory and everything, but it is excecuted phenomenally. The author brings out the absolute best that this story has to offer. You gave this premise to the average fantasy writer, they would bring you a max 3/10 manga. This is at least 7-8/10. Lack of possibilities is the only thing you can bring up as a potential problem, but that is a non-issue, because the author makes good choices and delivers on the chosen course of action.
Really, this is a really fuccking good, but very nieche manga. It's very clearly well-thought through. However, if the reader is unintersted in the persuit of glory and honor, in a monster MC, or in dungeons, then they will find this boring and repetitive. And thus, this can effectively only be enjoyed by a smaller community.
I am annoyed by people claiming this is bad, just because they are not interested in it. They do not think, they just feel. They write purely on emotions, not actual analysis. So, to whomever this concerns, I do recommend giving this a read. This is a very good nieche manga. If it piques your interests, you will love it. If it doesn't, I humbly ask you to just leave quietly. Thank you in advance.
