up to chapter 173 (end of main story) + epilogue
in a faceoff with the other monarchs, Jinwoo succumbs to his critical injuries and ends up in an illusionary world created by his subconscious where he meets the previous shadow monarch who shows Jinwoo the history of the war between monarchs and rulers as well as the history of war on earth and the ordeal awaiting Jinwoo in the real world. Jinwoo returns to the real armed with the full extent of the shadow monarch's powers and army as hunters all over the world prepare for the final battle with the king of dragons Antares.

spoilers ahead regarding the ending and epilogue
Avengers Endgame ahh resolution... and just like with Marvel, it all went downhill from there. whatever happened to the good ol' recovering from destruction and rebuilding strong after war?? but no!! they have to time travel or regress a decade to fix everything. and that too after he's already won the war. because, now listen to this shitass reason (I've lost too many people in this war and I wanna save them all... like barff) and now they just up and undo the last 175+ chapters that a reader has gone through and fixes everything. I don't even wanna waste my breath anymore... the story wasn't memorable, and the side characters were boring or unexplored. apparently even the writer thinks that their story is so unmemorable and insignificant that they can undo all of it in the last 2 chapters where the MMC alone can fix everything (it takes him 30 years but don't worry, he's immortal now, so barely a dent in his ''normal'' life which he can enjoy now cause he's running around playing god). logical plot progression went out the window and it just looks like fan service moments of Jinwoo in high school, meeting his dead friends, and dating. should've left the main story alone and release these chapters not as an epilogue but as an AU (alternate universe) or smth. left a bad taste in my mouth.
