Okay wait I haven’t read the novel but I wanna give my thoughts on the smut too
Idk if it’s just me but I feel like sex can be a way to convey strong emotions between characters without being seen as overtly sexual (crazy cause it’s legit sex) but this insertion seemed a bit odd and out of place. I understand it gave Seo a new perspective on what his life could be like, made him contemplate his decision to kill himself, but there are many other non-sexual ways to convey that things get better too. It could have been a simple domestic scene where Jihwan cooks for Seo and they have a moment with sticky rice and everything is like, sunshine and rainbows, but this scene seemed to be for fan service just because of the (idk how to describe) sexuality(??) of the scene. Overall the message was there but the execution was ahh bru -10billion social credit

Spoiler
Actually, this scene happens wayyyyyy later in the novel, after the completion of the great dungeon. Only 2 ch have sex scenes and that too they are in the side stories, so yes, I think this ch is for thirsty people that the artist gifted.
And, there is no such watch with skills. That watch is just something the manhwa artist inserted for story here.
This needs an anime. Like now.
