tas's manga / #Supernatural(8)

4.5/5 amazing premise w sae-ah's ability to see smells and then using it to help the police (and then later the brazilian gang) in various little mysteries that lead up to the main one about her parents' death. her character felt very real and all of the actions (many times morally gray) she took also felt very natural and not forced--i could completely understand and sympathize. what also made this series more interesting was depicting very real legal consequences for our main characters--def improved worldbuilding. also, every chapter's lil ending with a fact about a type of smell was super interesting and each note about the chemistry behind perfumery was so so good. the artstyle is pretty unique but you get used to it and overall, the story was great and kept me interested till the very end. [SPOILERS] my only qualm is the whole pyeongan/sae-ah relationship . that's why it's not a 5/5 for me. she was 17 and he was in his 20s, already in a stable career, when he confessed to her, and ik they got together when she became an adult but that just does not sit right w me.

had a promising premise but just felt way too short and left too many central questions unanswered. also all the characters looked like they had neck posture issues and it bothered me sm im ngl. wish we learned more abt the floating thing.

yeah this was not worth the daily pass. it started off as such an interesting premise of the red string fated soulmate but the mc is connected to two diff men bc their souls somehow split and the two men used to be one in their past lives. and it started off as funny shenanigans of her needing to be w both guys or else smth bad happens so she ends up kinda two timing them and the ways she keeps trying to switch from one date to the other in a matter of mins. but when that same thing happened for 20 chapters straight, me and the comment section were getting BOOOOORED like come on there was no progression it was so stagnant and it was rly getting old. then finally the reveal happened ok. [MAJOR SPOILERS] and then the last 3 chapters where huisu just d worded????? and ofc it was in a car accident w hyena and her traumatic past w a car accident bc every single kdrama and manhwa ever. but then bc huisu was brain dead his organs were given to hyena in a transplant AND SHE FORGOT ABT HIS EXISTWNCE WHEN SHE WPKE UP so then she got married to the other guy, wuyeong but i preferred huisu and then they had a happy ever after what???? and then their son is a copy of huisu???? idk this webtoon was so weird and pacing was off and some angles were strange too but i had to struggle to finish this one

10/10 first of all, the art is definitely a masterpiece i need a musum of each panel of this webtoon bc oh my goodness i have never seen more captivating art like i was literally stuck in place frozen for certain panels bc of how magical the art is. myst, true to her name, is depicted with a (mystical) ethereal beauty and i rmbr a comment that said it's not just her being conventionally attractive bc there are many attractive characters in webtoons, but the artist captured such a transcendent, literally otherworldly beauty with her like her eyes too they feel like they transcend the screen and reality idk what else to say to convince anyone to appreciate how gorgeous the art is. the story was also so so funny and i truly adored myst and garam and the friends and all of the grandma neighbors and even lala. i loved the progression of their relationship but the mysterious bit about myst's origins was also so intriguing. [SPOILERS] myst's __ scene stabbed me in the chest. i was SO heartbroken i felt garam's pain. we all felt the dark foreshadowing from the prologue and him narrating the story in past tense with a sense of regret and longing for the happy moments but THAT DID NOT MAKE IT HURT ANY LESS. seeing the light leave garam's eyes and him grieving without any support bc myst's identity was a secret just argh it hurt so bad. so when she finally came back and they started over i went all misty-eyed and breathed a deep sigh of relief i didnt even care that she didnt rmbr i was like it's totally fine. but then when she gets her memories back OBV i am even more elated and overjoyed. tbvh i wouldn't have completely minded if the story ended with her death bc from a storytelling perspective, it may have been satisfying as a tragedy? esp bc throughout we all know smth bad is going to happen and garam is living a future w/o myst. but i loved myst sm i chose happiness idfc this is fiction and if the author wanted to bring her back i was not gonna question their choices.

4.5/10 an alien comes to a bullied hs girl's home to retrieve an eiren (magical stone thing) and eventually helps her grow confidence and improves her life. this was an alright read v avg story that started off as a promising otherworldly situation and room for character growth and romance, but it kinda just developed into a v generic hs story and the romance was an ambiguous ending which i didn't rly like. we saw nothing of ian's world and i wish we did bc that would've been more interesting bc there were so many loose threads. was a light read and had its interesting moments (i rly rly liked hanje's character), but not worth going out of your way to read

9/10 LOVE the art and the characters and I was never ever bored with the story. I really enjoyed the ending, too. I think Jeongto's character arc was left a little unfinished, though. But the very beginning with the pivotal funeral scene that sets up the entire scene was so well done like I was not expecting all the emotions in first 12 chapters. Very good character writing and worldbuilding (the other Gods of hell >>) Yeomra <3

7/10 Gorgeous art and action scenes, emotional scenes and fun characters and good worldbuilding. Great but personally not my type of webtoon so I got bored a lot. Lovely ending though!

8.5/10 super solid action-packed vampire series that has great worldbuilding and interesting characters! i also liked that the romance was a subplot but it still tied together pretty nicely
