Incompetent Villain
I am incredibly stunned at the ending -- it's a big WTF. Even the comments on Webtoons are complaining about it.
The story had a LOT of potential. A villain as a main character that kills with no remorse? Heck yeah! It was a great premise, but it was ruined by background politics, probably. You can tell it got worse with each chapter and it was going downhill, and then eventually the story was cut short. I have absolutely no words, except...
WHAT AWFULNESS! This series deserves better, and I'm sure the author knows too. I feel so sorry for it. This rating is because of the great art and interesting storyline, and that I know it could've been better. It if it weren't for those elements, then it would've been a 1. I'm so livid at this ending that I'm in stunned disbelief.

This is the type of comic that I just stumbled upon, I hadnt read reviews or anything and didnt know what to expect. I enjoy spokons a lot so I figured it was worth a try, then it so happened that ive been reading it weekly since the tenish chapter.
The story is more than fine, it has its cliches and some predictability, but serves its purpose to convey a feeling and and showing the story, hardships and growth of the protagonist Yu.
The art is very good, it uses common angles and the action is easibly understandble. The best thing regarding art about this webtoon is those few moments when it depicts the monster side of Yu and the scenery.
The thing that i enjoyed the most and im not sure if ill be able to express how good it is are the characters and the development of the fights. From the very beginning each and everyone of Yu's opponents have been great. There have been conflicts where you respect the opposing fighters, others have been seen as despicable and you come to hate them, some of them were so charismatic and likeable that you could be cheering for them.
In a separate paragraph i have to talk about Yu and K and their relationship, and after finishing the work, i do believe that it was well executed, although k is not as interesting as one would expect him to be. And his reasoning could seem as somewhat lacking, but all his actions are justified from his point of view which is more than enough. Finally, the journey Yu has gone through is incredible, without spoiling the ending i think that im satisfied with how every conflict has been resolved.
As a summary i would recommend this work to anyone, sometimes it might fall on the being edgy cliche but it is not enough to pass on this great work.
