andy2mc's manga / #Horror(15)

9 Horror Game concept. Stuck inside a slash horror game, with sentient NPCs. Very hot seme (tho very sus, killer instinct driven and horny af). Uke is so damn cute too. The plot is genuinely super intriguing, can’t wait for s2!!

9 Same author as Profundis. Probably that’s why I’m enjoying it SO MUCH. Beautiful art, broody ml (that hurts my heart bc you can tell how much pookie has suffered). Zombiesss, and game reset plot/time loop? It’s really interesting, and slow burn as well. Really really enjoying

8.5 This one was… interesting. Quite intoxicating and dark. Really made me reflect as well. It was an interesting reading for sure. The thriller, horror aspects were really unique. The induced hallucination and paranoia was really tasty. I NEED MORE WITH THIS VIBE (the closest I’ve found was Ghost Gate)

10!! Intricate and absolutely beautifully written. Peak storytelling really. A true masterpiece. The most underrated manhwa out there AAAAA. "They are able reveal information but still manages to keep the air of mystery and suspense. At the same time, they've introduced us to the world, the backstory, the characters and also developed the relationship of the characters." The twist in the mc’s character was masterfully done. I truly felt deceived as a reader (which is rare). I thought he was the typical ehite lotus, and was almost frustrated at his gullible-ness… and then it turns out he was a black lotus after all. I genuinely didn't see it coming AT ALL. It gave me physical chills that lasted sooo long. Damn. Color me impressed. I loved it so much. I'm a sucker for an unreliable narrator. "This series is very well thought out. If you're a thinker who likes to be challenged when reading, you'd like this. Not only bec the plot itself is full of mysteries and questions, but also because it is presented in a logical manner (that's why I give pass for the occassional use of expositions). The characters are logical; you can see it in how they react to things, how they question things and how they explain things. They are sharp and insightful. And I like that bec I like smart characters and hate stupid characters."-- I agree so hard with this reader The bittersweet ending was so good. THE FEELS. It felt like the perfect ending to this story. Even though the number 1 aspect this manhwa excels at is in its storytelling, the emotional nuance and depth is also skilfully explored. "For something that isn't too long and is already jampacked with too much information, the characters all managed to be intriguing characters. Both the main characters are deep, rounded and 3D. Whole the supporting characters all have their own quirks and personality that makes them distinct." The emotional anecdotes were so poignant and on-theme. And the black and white almost deterred me from continuing reading since usuallly I read strictly colored manhwas. But I actually think it suited this manhwa perfectly. It conveyed the emotions so rawly that some panels wouldn't even need words to convey the emotion of the scene. Some small aspects could have been even better/explored deeper but given the storytelling structure, pace and overall delivery was SO GOD TIER, I can easily overlook it. All and all, it was one of my absolute fav manhwas!! I also loved the comparison this (very thoughtful) bato rando drew to Fate Makes No Mistakes: "Compare this to Fate Makes No Mistakes (which although S3 is becoming a masterpiece in storytelling), the early chapters were so lacking in information it ended up more confusing than anything. and then they dropped the reveal all at once hahaha". Radio Storm managed to do what FMNM felt short to deliver.

7.5 Not the best of bl zombieverse (the gems out there are hard to top), but still pretty entertaining. Cute quick read. Nice art too

8.5 The shit translation is ruining the reading experience but the manhwa is amazing. The horror and paranoia of it all is *chef’s kiss*. Reminds me of black mirror when it comes to the delirium/hallucinations and the thriller feel you get as a reader. Really REALLY good. It actually gave me goosebumps. And I read it at night with all lights off so it scared the shit out of me, I loved it. The mc gave me so much second hand embarrassment tho DAMN I wish it would be picked up for official translations

8 Really fresh twist to the isekai shoujo genre! The whiplashing mix of creepy horror and gore with self deprecating humor and romance undertones is quite interesting. Her being isekai’d into a maid is also fresh. The comedic moments and self deprecating second embarrassment is soooo good too. I love it. I love her morally dubious villain arc. Soooo tasty. And the art is so scrumptious yum yum Odor kink? Lick your water drops? Sniff your pillow?, How to survive life threatening situations? Be a pervert

9.5 My favorite manhua so far!!! The plot is truly phenomenal and the art… ugh one of the most beautiful I’ve seen. It’s so striking and suits the story to perfection. The mix of mystery, thriller and sizzling tantalizing chemistry. I love it so so so much!!!! I need to read the whole novel ASAP

9 Love it. Can’t wait for more chaps. The art is so cool, and the plot is quite intriguing. Also I love how it’s slowburn. And it’s hilarious and deceptive!!! Gorgeous art too

10 Truly grotesque (in the best way possible). It's certainly not everyone's cup of tea--- but it is mine lmao. It's extremely gory and graphic... but it had no right being such a skilfully written story. It grabs your undivided attention from the start with its addictive weirdness. But it somehow gets better and better in ways you wouldn't expect. And unravels in such a poignant tragic manner. It comes full circle in such an emotionally striking way. It's truly so beautifully written. A rollercoaster of emotions that makes you reflect deeply about human nature and desires. It’s utterly heartbreaking and twisted, and so beautifully written. I love it and I hate it so much. It got me sobbing non-stop to the point of dehydration. The ending is heart wrenching, but it's the perfect ending for the story. It's the type of tragedy that you seem coming but can't escape its grasp nonetheless. The type of doom that breaks you completely in it being completely unavoidable... which makes it somehow so so much worse. It's such a poetic story, and masterfully delivered. The way J ends up killing himself so he could be finally free... PAINNNNN. He basically used Makoto to get him to say his name so he could be set free from his century-long loneliness (that comes from being the strongest unreachable individual). Just like Wald used Jonathan in the same manner… and how Makoto is now going to do with his future “disciple”. The self-fulling cycle of blinding obsession, and utter soul-crushing loneliness. That’s “Wald’s curse”. You rise to the top due to the obsession love-hate you nurture towards the initialed who took you in. Until you become stronger than them and can say their name. That becomes your only goal and motivation. Your only reason to exist, what allows to survive. Similarly, the initialed holds on to you like their one and only lifeline. Once they get you to say their names, they are finally free and able to kill themselves (demons can only die if they are completely forgotten or when saying the full name of a more powerful demon). Which leaves you empty since you no longer have your source of obsession and utterly lonely, with no way to put an end to your misery. Which leads you to look for a disciple that can outpower you eventually so you can finally be free……. And so the cycle continues. I'm not even sure if there ever was love between any of them... the way this antagonistic whirl of emotions is depicted is so poignant. Perfection really. A true masterpiece. It rips you apart. At the end of the day, they are all just agonizing in their loneliness and seeking for an escape to this ending all-consuming pit. (Just writing this is making me tear up in the middle of Starbucks lmao) The artstyle is also god tier. It manages to capture this contradicting emotions so rawly. One certainly needs to be open minded to enjoy this manga, but once you perceive it beyond its weirdness and gore, you can truly admire the masterpiece this is. Capturing this oh-so-utterly-human all-consuming seamingly-unescapable bottom-less loneliness
