So like “rainbow city” then? HEAR ME OUT the novel is SO SO SO GOOD. There are so many twists to it and context behind literally everything. So many reveals at every corner as well as foreshadowing and leaves so much to interpretation. Let me introduce the characters.like bro the side characters are so loveable and have backstories that gets revealed as the plot moves.
It’s post apocalyptic, setting place in Seoul Korea which had became a place for military shelters and bases. It evolves around a virus that turns ppl into zombies but keeps mutating Redee ring vaccines useless, and it’s currently on its 7th mutantion
Major Kwak Suhwan- A soldier who gets in trouble for going into zombie infested zones to get booze and now to avoid soldier detention, has to get the genius researcher Dr.Seokhwa off of JeJu island (which is the only place safe from zombies) and back to the city to develop a new vaccine. (Also the strongest man in rainbow city)
Dr.Seok- a researcher of rainbow city who went back to JeJu island but is now being brought back. He’s got an obsession with stones, is physically weaker than the average person and shows no emotions.
The story begins first with Dr.Seok getting the news that his mentor had been murdered in which he sets out to find the truth which could potentially get him in trouble. There’s also a rebellion cult called the “garden of Eden” which is hell bent on getting rid of the city for its “corruption” but it’ll soon be revealed that their goals go way deeper than simply ruining the city.
Mutations are a huge part of the story as people such as Dr.Seok and Major Kwak along with a few side characters are known as mutants meaning they allegedly were born with an enhanced feature of themselves as well as a defect, this mutation is said to have happened naturally as the human reaction to counter the virus but there is much more to it s d it also connects to the city’s “corruption” along the story it will give a lot of foreshadowing to future points and things that will make sense way later. Such as the reason Dr.Seok returned to JeJu island, or why Major Kwak is such a strong soldier and why Dr.Seok’s body is weak. All of it connecting together to make a masterpiece of a story. Ofc don’t forget it’s a BL with a KILLER DYNAMIC. These two which starts of being annoyed with one another, slowly becomes so obsessed they can’t live without the other one. I CANT RECOMMEND IT HIGHLY ENOUGH (also it’s 5 am and I’m writing this in bed with a tiny phone, that’s how serious I am for this)
The manhwa is amazing but hadn’t gotten even 1/3 of the way through yet TRY TRY THE NOVEL
