I don't want to call every single "robotic" character who strictly follows the rules and can be both perceptive and/or dense about social stuff autistic but also like... as one myself, can't help but see the past me in beom like the whole noticing your feelings but not being able to place them, thinking they're something else, "this is how x supposed to be no?" NOT SURE IF I'M EXPLAINING IT RIGHT but yeahhh his inner thoughts are soo similar to my past self (with my first crush in my late teens). Except I've always enjoyed reading romance since I was a child so like. I had an idea. But it still took me over half a year to realise what it was (and few months before I realised I even had the thought "i wanna kiss her" and just went "????" in my head, like i can't make this up it was bad).
Anyway yeah lol. Fuck the abuse pos ex, fuck taehyun's brother, lowkey fuck beom's parents ╮(￣▽￣)╭
Hhhgh, I can see potential in this but the way the visual artist is trying to tell the story just... feels off. They clearly are not used to drawing this kind of genre, and it really shows. They also seem inexperienced considering just how much telling they're doing instead of showing (tbf this is an issue with a lot of webtoons, ppl seem to barely know how to use panels without any words to tell you what the characters might be thinking/feeling), and it just makes it feel like there's a constant chatter in the story with no breaks - especially at the beginning chapters.
It kinda sucks. I think this has interesting elements to it, but the art style just feels off-putting for this story and genre specifically, and it made many parts feel boring even. If this was a typical apocalypse story, the important side characters would be drawn with more personality for recognition, but instead they all look the same - just a background NPC who isn't a main character so it doesn't matter if they all look the same. Boo!
The framing of many panels are quite boring as well, and there's a lack of dynamics in it (poses, framing, etc). This would be fine if this was just a high school romance story, but it's not. I think another artist would've been much better to bring visual interest to this story, as it currently lacks that. At the very least, I hope this artist learns and improves quickly.
