I really wanted to like this manhwa I somewhat enjoyed it at the start but as the series progresses it became so nonsensical it made me feel handicapped just for having read it. I love horror/thrillers and for manhwa of this genre you shall have to suspend your disbelief to some degree to enjoy them kind of goes for most if not all fiction honestly. This series however is extremely flagrant in its complete disregard for your intelligence. Everything pushing this plot forward hinges on completely stupid strokes of luck and unluck in a very lazy contrived fashion that makes you want to bash your skull in. The antagonist is just some stupid stalker with zero motivation beyond being some edgy mouth breathing mcguffin. Used to push the plot along and conveniently absolve the main character of their crimes at the end. The latter half of the story is so unbelievably nauseatingly bad it genuinely gave me a headache. The author is terrible at show dont tell everything is written out for you quite literally as if youre a toddler no doubt a show of the authors personal reading level and writing skills. I suppose asking more of him would be asking too much. I am going to delve deep into spoilers for things that happened past chapter 13 because this is where everything just really comes to a head for me and makes the series so unlikeable. You get a cast of absolutely sociopathic morons shoved together into the last half for zero reason other to spur on some violence and melodrama all and worst of all half of their motivations are so lazy cliche or dumb often times all three together that I found myself wondering why Im even trying to finish this garbage. I would not be surprised to learn if this is where the story dips off for other readers as well its just so insultingly stupid. We have the mc discovered by a cop in the most ridiculous fashion ever he just assumes the MC is the person wheeling out the nurse beneath who killed the cops brother. Which hes right but to assume an absolute stickbug of a child a child who was just incapacitated and bedridden in the hospital has somehow kidnapped a serial killer stalker who looks to be 150 pounds heavier than the MC and about 4 feet taller. Its just stupid man its dumb its aggravating to read. Then the edgelord cop goes absolutely insane because oh nooo his brother died who gives a shit? The cop just absolutely crumbles mentally and finds three sociopaths stabbing each other to death in a water tower and decided to burn them alive in their for some illogical dumb ass reason that I cant even be bothered to recount but for the reviews sake I will summarize. Durr death penalty not real so kill yourselves for me and Ill send you to prison anyways Im bored now Ive decided to bring you to death or whatever that dumb ass said idec anymore. Then we get some stupid ass duo tossed in that the author tries to weave into the story and foreshadow which lmao I will touch on that foreshadow bit later anyways this duo is like the epitome of cliches every single cliche sociopath you see in manhwas and stuff thats one of them. Its so lazy in fact that reading his speech bubbles is headache inducing its run on sentences and half thoughts that say a whole bunch of edgy ass nothing. Its Wattpad tier fanfiction adjacent drivel and his motivations when you read them are so fucking lazy and dumb man. I understand that is the point of this character hes a lazy selfish killer but itd lazy as fuck to use every cliche in the book on this guy and its insulting to have has to sit through it. It makes me mad that the author put pen to paper and thought oh yeah man this is fire this is ready to be published I actually hate this author I want him gone. Retired and forced to never write again. Im not going to go into too much more detail about this because Id have to recount every bit of screentime given to this duo to rant and rave it and I dont honestly care to even do that. I am writing this review out of spite but even spite can not fuel me enough to put myself through everything bad about this series again mentally bc its all bad. Anyways I keep going off on tangents I have nothing in mind other than hate as I write this so I am so sporadic in what points i bring up I am writing on half thoughts and its hard to follow which is ironic because thats what a majority of this series is spent doing. The action scenes are absolute trite the author is using a visual medium but spends so much time just writing bullshit after bullshit to push things along. Which Im glad he did Id hate to have to spend anymore time on this garbage than I already did but Im still obligated to call him out on his hack lazy nature. Okay but back to the duo. The other half of the duo doesnt matter. Moving on The sociopath characters inner narration is used to circle jerk the MC and lazy explain stupid nonsensical ass pulls that the author uses to inexplicably solve problems for himself. He writes himself into corners so often I cant stress enough how aimless this story is its so painfully blatant and you will see why when I finish this rant This is barely even a review at this point its just anger... We get scenes where thought bubbles are just so weird I cant really explain them honestly Im not skilled enough at writing and putting my thoughts and feelings to paper but if you get to the last scene in the water tower youll get a feel of what Im saying. Its just almost as if the author is kind of using the speech bubbles to lazily narrate the story? Theyre lazily announcing whats happening it feels like fanfiction I mean its just amateur as hell I dont what else to say about it Im struggling to describe it. Much like the author struggles to write. The last two chapters of the series almost ALMOST ties things up to a point where I might call this manhwa palatable. Easier to digest and justify having read it but its so far removed from the actual manhwa that youve read that its jarring. Its weird and kind of hard to bring yourself to care about it at all honestly if you went into this series expecting this so called twist. Maybe youd enjoy it more. It would make everything that feels so stupid easier to accept so you can get to the pay off and some revenge and an actual destination to arrive too. I did not read this series with that in mind though I didnt know what to expect and clearly the third rate either dont either. So here we are The final two chapters also kind of get ruined by the surrounding story its sandwiched between some stupid follow up with the ugly ass stalker character shes bland as hell and uninspired its the laziest and most unappealing character to have the series follow up with. Then theres this impossibly small gap in the walls that the mammoth of a woman is implied to escape through in the future which is just it makes mad man its so fucking dumb why?? Anyways Jesus Christ I keep going on rants I cant help everything about this story is ass And heres why the afterword with the author followup explains that he basically adlibbed this series and had only one theme and tiny piece of the story as an idea in his head and everything was written around that specifically its very obvious with or without him admitting but Im glad he did so I can say with definitive proof this story is half assed and lazy. I literally wrote this entire review because I suspected something like that was the case and having the author himself reaffirm my beliefs made me feel so vindicated. Thanks for reading this very awful review Im sorry I put so little thought into it I was fueled by spite and spite alone. As I finish typing this it is 6am I woke up early for this. Im a professional hater.
