The game Caplet, which completely flopped just one year after its release. In Caplet, Shin Jehyun, known as ‘Healer,’ is notorious for his rivalry with ‘Habaek,’ the vice guild leader of the rival guild, Funeral Director.

Then, one day, a global corporation, Flex, acquires Capitol Studio, the creator of Caplet, leading to changes between the two. “Jehyun, how about we merge our guild with Funeral Director?” After briefly freaking out at the suggestion, Jehyun eventually decides to go through with the merger, unable to resist the tempting offer from the opposing guild leader.

My Thoughts on The Way to Kill a Healer
"The Way to Kill a Healer" is a web novel that I found myself surprisingly drawn into. It's a blend of genres that, on paper, seems almost chaotic – adult, adventure, comedy, sports? But somehow, it mostly works, creating a unique reading experience.
First Impressions
Initially, I was intrigued by the premise: a bickering couple in an MMORPG setting, complete with enemies-to-lovers vibes. The "oblivious to each other's identities" trope is a classic, and I was curious to see how this author would handle it. The early chapters definitely hooked me with the promise of witty banter and slow-burn romance.
What Works Well
The dynamic between the two main characters is undoubtedly the strongest aspect of this novel. Their in-game rivalry is genuinely funny, and the development of their real-life relationship is handled with a light touch. I appreciated how the author incorporated game elements seamlessly into the narrative, making the MMO world feel vibrant and engaging. The humor is a definite draw, and I often found myself chuckling at their interactions. The story also has a certain charm, especially in the slice-of-life aspects, that makes it an easy and enjoyable read.
Areas of Concern
While I enjoyed the overall story, the sheer number of genres it tries to juggle can be a bit overwhelming at times. There are moments when the narrative feels a little unfocused, jumping between e-sports competitions, romantic misunderstandings, and slice-of-life scenarios without a clear sense of direction. It's not a major flaw, but it can occasionally disrupt the flow of the story.
Final Verdict
Overall, "The Way to Kill a Healer" is an enjoyable and entertaining read, especially if you're a fan of enemies-to-lovers stories with a healthy dose of humor and gaming elements. While the genre-bending approach might not be for everyone, the strong character dynamics and engaging plot make it a worthwhile experience. I'd recommend giving it a try if you're looking for a lighthearted and unique web novel.
