I really do wonder how people throw the word "masterpiece" around like its free candy when it comes to this site. It a decent story, the ONLY likable character in this story is Sak, the sick rental child, and Echo. Everyone else is truly awful or some shade of gray leaning towards black. I don't even know if I even like the main couple, despite getting the backstory of Lima I just cannot get over how genuinely cruel he can be at times within moments, despite it being clear as day Sak is a fish out of water in this story.
***SPOILERS*** I was so disgusted by the cave rape scene and Sak being so ignorant of what just happened to him despite knowing what sex is. And post aftermath resignation made it so much worse. Make that makes sense that this is what we want as audience to start of a romance? And especially after Sak literally just buried a fucking child just MINUTES or hours before. What the fuck is the tone. Lima does have character development for what it is worth, having been a jaded former child soldier exposed to horror and trauma. I am going to be generous and assume the author wanted to go the "hurt people hurt people route" for his character. However, given this genre's dependency on Lima's personality type as an archetype for much of the genre I am holding my breath. I get its an apocalyptic world where there are child soldiers, secret government experiments, conspiracies, and betrayals but i am so just over even in this "masterpiece" setting we still get the exact formula of meek innocent uke and abusive uncommunicative seme and then when reading the comments I feel like I'm taking crazy pills because the story is just simply okay with the plot leaving many things unanswered, the main couple still presumably on the run, and no one being held accountable for the behind the scenes manipulations and struggles of our main character.
Would people still recommend reading Moritat if I did not exactly care for this manhwa?
