This is an updated post as of April 2026. (My previous post from 2025 here)

Korean Title: 내가 키운 S급들

This time a fan-made cover by s_class_potato that showcases a more complete cast list than the official cover. ↓↓↓↓

What's It About: It's about the Power of Love! And never giving up! And what does it mean to be a parent, a partners, a friend, a brother?

Fantastically detailed world-building and fantastically realistic and fleshed out cast of characters and a fantastically unhinged unreliable narrator of an MC.

It starts out looking like a standard male OP fantasy, but that is very much a fakeout, and it is very very much a subversion of that genre - something that has unfortunately earned this novel much ire in the Korean dude webnovel reader sphere of the internet.

It is also one of the best examples of "time travel fixit" as a canon premise that I have ever seen.

After his estranged little brother - Korea's top S-Sank Hunter Han Yoohyun - dies saving the life of the pathetic F-Rank Hunter Han Yoojin, Han Yoojin gets the opportunity to turn back time by 5 years and gain a new uber-powerful Skill that lets him 'nurture' S-Rank hunters to their full potentials - both humans and monsters. Yoojin is determined to just chill and prove himself by supporting Yoohyun, but it's not so easy especially as he finds more and more people to love and care about. And also this one annoyingly fascinating and useful guy - the current #1 hunter Sung Hyunjae - who had disappeared from the public eye in mysterious circumstances before Yoojin turned back time - keeps finding him fascinating and useful too and won't leave him alone.

Webtoon Adaptation

Yes, there is a webtoon adaptation of it with an official English translation: My S-Class Hunters. There are 152 chapters in S1, which adapt roughly the first 160ish chapters of the novel, and the webtoon is currently on hiatus with work ongoing on S2. ETA: S2 is out, babey!! Released April 20th! Not in English yet though, but it can be Found.

The art is beautiful, and it is a very good work in its own right but it does adapt things more comedically than the novel. It makes for a pretty funny reading experience, but it leaves out enough of the (plot-relevant!) emotional bits as well as changes up certain plot points for better visuals that I would recommend reading (or at least skimming) from the start for anyone coming in from the webtoon.

Where to Read The Original

I.E. The novel in Korean: The complete story is 1165 Chapters

Main Story: 856 Chapters + 14 Epilogue Chapters (870 Chapters) Side Story: 167 Chapters Afterwords: 128 Chapters

These are now available on Naver, Ridibooks and Kakaopage.

Naver is horrendous to use internationally

Kakaopage is the easiest to use internationally IMO, and has a lot of freebies points. With enough grinding one can probably get all the webnovel chapters for free, while still showing support to Geunseo

Ridi is quite convenient too and often has sale events. Ridi is a more slash-friendly and female-reader friendly platform overall and has a more positive and shippier comment section I think.

However! Before you buy: One thing to note is that there are two versions of the text - a webnovel version and an ebook version. Yes, the text itself is different between the two.

Webnovel version: The ones that you can buy one-chapter-at-a-time and what you'll usually find on the 🏴‍☠️ sites. Side Story and After Words only exist as webnovel chapters as of April 2026. Ebook version: The 870 chapters of the main novel are also available as 35-volume set of ebooks. - Ebooks version has many added emotional beats and scenes (mostly of the homoerotic nature) - Ebooks version also has many "extras" - additional chapters and short stories, often from the perspectives of characters other than Yoojin, that often add a lot of great characterisation and world-building information. Apart from this there also exist some physical book sets but not in English - currently there is a Korean physical bookset of 10 volumes (with hopefully many more to come), and a Taiwanese bookset as well, and both these physical booksets have more unique "extras" in them as well.

If anyone decides to throw money at Geunseo for this, I would personally recommend going for the ebooks over the webnovel chapters.

Where to read the Translations!

Is Part 3 the first time we have had random DER inhabitants (those two X-group bullies) express mindless violence upon KSE?

Aahh, thank you so much for your appreciation! ❤️

I completely missed my inbox notifications, so getting to this after a while 😓

But Mairuma has been so much fun! I picked it up on a whim, and was expecting a breezy fun comedy story - which is totally is! But the depth of consistent characterization and the strong cast and strength of story and world-building was such a great surprise!

And the number of official spinoffs 😳 Wow, Nishi-sensei is ensuring such a glut of delicious delicious food! I am caught up on Irumafia and the Boku Alliance spin-off too now, and man - I love all of the characters and their versions so damn much!

I am kind of laughing at myself for when I started and where I caught up - I really have a huge tendency of picking up and catching up to new ongoing canons shortly before Major Things Go Down.

Ahhh! You're welcome, anon!

Fandom-wise S-Classes is still my darling baby, but GSGW is also so much fun! Especially with the live chapters coming out - it's so exciting!

And given that the latest incidence in Part 3 (Ch 385) is sudden sirens as someone invades the facility, with one potential candidate being DMB having successfully tracked down his location thanks to Lee Gyeol keeping the line open for hours.

I suddenly thought of how, post the shopping expedition in the Rest Area, the main possessions KSE has on his right now are:

A bottle of very strong vodka

Extra-strength painkillers

Sleeping pills

Um. I hope Choi or Jaekwan don't catch him with these. 😅 The misunderstandings have got to stop, Choi isn't a fumbler, he's just a little guy with a 0.5/5 luck stat at best 😭

(Though we know KSE's got to find the door too in the next few chapters. Presumably he will be accompanied through the door by someone who is part of the intruder group. DMB is definitely my strongest guess right now. While I am hoping for Choi, honestly it being Haegeum or maybe Chogae wouldn't be amiss too. Maybe GYE who's become a DMB agent for real in the last 3 years? Ideally whoever it is, if it is DMB, it should be someone from a Cheongryong team, right? Since they'd be back to being the Rescue unit now?)

* -> (that long rambling note seeming to share all bits of information including small random stuff and huge life changing stuff without proper order, with a lot of apologies interspersed with it; giving away all his meager possessions - aka the items (nostalgia candy and the painkillers)

But I really liked that they changed up the number of VR machines Azz bought for the anime.

When I had read this particular Sukima in the manga, it had for sure rubbed me a tiny bit the wrong way because why 2? What about Clarin, Azz-Azz?

It stayed with me enough that I immediately noticed when the anime said 3 machines and went back to double check, and yeppp. It's a change.

KSE really doesn't say much in response to Choi.

But also, internal narration wise, holy-shit does Choi seem to make him experience every emotion under the sun and he constantly constantly has to remind himself not to get swept away and forget his ultimate goal is to go home.

Choi also truly seems to be the one who gets him to stop 'playing roles' and burst out with his real feelings quite often. There are always extenuating circumstances (he's stressed, he's a child) but most of the outbursts so far, where he's a bit surprised at having said that after, are with Choi.

Interested to see how this the Big Fumbles will go in detail.

(Also GYE's pov on KSE is soooo fucking funny. In front of her, KSE generally 'stops pretending' a lot, but his persona so strong that GYE is left staring at KSE saying wacko stuff about how he's more of a paperwork guy and ohhh he's so scared and ohhh that's just a coincidence and ohhh but we GOTTA save those people that's LOGICAL. Is he lying? Is he crazy? No, he's too competent, he has to be just blatantly lying and acting the fuck up, right?!)

(Also I think she definitely has a very mild hint of jealousy in her about KSE being the top recruit. GYE gives me the vibes of someone who is used to being top of the class until recently, so I feel she often has a mild hint of that in her always when dealing with KSE (in the beginning at least) IIRC she brought up being one of the top 3 recruits, and then usually KSE's top recruit status is something she often brings up when thinking of KSE.)

HUH.

That's real early.

Also, branch offices mentioned by Bak Saheon! Yes, a lot of people were suddenly getting reassigned from HQ to branch offices around the time that the Ho Project started.

I feel this is somewhat supportive of the idea that there are/were more executives than just Ho and Cheong. As Ho got closer to his goal and more and more wrapped in Special Project work, maybe they started using that opportunity to strengthen their positions in various Branch offices, assuming impending explosion of HQ in the aftermath of the clearly looming Ho vs Cheong showdown.

Ho initially was also from a Branch Office before getting promoted to HQ, iirc? So presumably these other potential directors all have their own respective Branch offices that are their strongholds?

Knowing what we know now about him, I was wondering if we would see any unusual reaction to KSE rescuing all of the kids stuck in the Darkness.

He 'listened with great interest and even clapped his hands in delight'.

But KSE at this point definitely 100% believes all the friendliness is a complete sham, so he usually doesn't take any note of anything being unusual here, and instead focuses on HYW's showing discomfort about and revulsion towards DMB and calling them hypocrites.

But Ho really is sooo cheerful and friendly and accommodating and attentive! No wonder KSE was weirded out and wary.'

And lol, not KSE also going 'maybe Ho is a decent boss as long as you don't smash his triggers'

But also. I don't think Yoojin ever updated his contact after this, did he? He updated his vocabulary and started calling him 'Partner' more and more eventually, but I don't think we ever saw him update the contact.

So potentially, we have a situation post-canon, where Han Yoojin and Sung Hyunje are calling each other things like 'Parenting Partner' and 'Yeobo' and '62nd Wife'.

But Yoojin's contact still says 'Mr. Colleague'.

In a scenario where this gets called out/brought up explicitly - Sung Hyunje would pout and pretend sob so much.

And Yoojin would definitely be flustered and trying to awkwardly apologize and comfort HJ while also being aggro about having done nothing wrong actually.

I can envision Yoojin awkwardly throwing his phone at Hyunje for him to enter the contact himself, the way Hyunje did all that time ago.

And HJ is gobsmacked but then he tries to jokingly put in '62nd Wife'* and gets smacked and evil-cat-stared at for his trouble, and Yoojin snatches his phone back and puts in something genuinely sincere and sappy and makes HJ surprised and 'feel ticklish' (as they say).

Oh gasp! This as the end point of The Aquarium Date (TM).** Officially re-defining their relationship again.

What should be the final contact update on Yoojin's end? 🤔 Not sure about this yet...

Kang Hiyak and Baek Saheon are a fucking hilarious duo, truly. Dumb and Dumber, Greedy and Greedier.

I was paying more attention to Jin Nasol, and I am wondering if she might already have headache issues. There are a couple of mentions of temples twitching, and one headache disappearing in the face of excitement - which ordinarily I would have completely ignored as metaphorical or just instance-based. She is high-strung and she has a headache because of Pony and Goat antics etc.

But given her situation in part 3, I am wondering if it's going to turn out that Jin Nasol always had debilitating headaches, and this was actually part of her reasons for working at Daydream. Maybe she was building points to get a Wish Potion to permanently cure her headaches, while also constantly having to use points for short-term cure potions.
