Lost in the Cloud
i first started reading this when it was initially serialized and ended up dropping it after season 1 i think. I'm so glad I didn't pick it up again until now because I definitely wouldn't have been able to enjoy it as much as I did now. Maybe it's because I've learned a lot from life since when I first tried reading it or if it's because i'm a lot more self aware now, but damn I really grew attached to the characters. At the end of the day, i feel like this is a really realistic manhwa that accurately portrays how most people aren't malicious and rationalize their behavior that works best for them. I think what makes this hit so hard is that even the most unlikable characters have motivations that aren't like the traditional one dimensional villains that most manhwas have. There's a level of nuance to it because although it is his fault for being a shit dad and nothing will absolve him of it, you can see that the problem started with a dad who was struggling to adapt to raising a child on his own. I think that this manhwa really fleshes out the characters in a way you don't really see a lot of manhwas do. During the time I didn't read it, I would see this manhwa getting consistently updated still and wonder what could possibly require a manhwa to remain serialized for this long. After reading it, I'm so glad that the author didn't get tired of this story and half ass the rest of it or something because it was truly such an emotionally gripping story the whole way through.
