Not yet, but I know what you mean. >.> Let me see, the last I read was.... s03e05, so it's unfortunate but not surprising to hear that it doesn't stop.
The good news is, it more or less stops? Or at least it's minor enough that it doesn't bother me as much, though of course ymmv

My main issues with the comic is how it basically goes nowhere. Jihan is so overpowered nothing really matters. I guess it's all building up to a Big Reveal, but frankly I'm... bored. /sighs

that's actually the biggest problem with litrpg series and why so many of them stall out and die tbh. when the main point of the story is character progression with no defined endgame it's super hard to avoid infinite power creep

I don't want to spoil the story but honestly it's worse than that, you'll see

I forgot to say I've officially dropped this webtoon. It just gets more and more disappointing, plus I'm not comfortable with the Hell arc and its consequences.

Honestly?
It's not worth it.
Between the lack of character development, Jihan's miraculous powers making everything fucking boring and then not only "attracting the attention" of Baal buy also being able to summon devils thanks to Lolikiano... And Soenil's demotion from side character to background character and finally to
EQUIPMENT
Oh yeah, Soenil turns out to be the actual sword and Jihan its destined wielder
