ReviewRaptor's manga / #GORGEOUS Character(s)(764)

The baseplot is absolutely amazing, super interesting setup and interesting characters (albeit some are a little bland here and there) but sadly this all looses it's charm due to the storytelling of the webtoon itself. I'm not sure if this is based on a novel (they usually are) and if or if not the novel is better written but...this webtoon feels like one of those that have been just too rushed by a team that doesn't quite know what can and cannot be rushed. If I had to boil it down, this feels like a comic drawn by someone that was told a quick summary of events by another person that read a novel. Then, said comic artist was left with a few instructions and the summary and told to go make a comic out of this...which sadly lacks a ton of things that make a story loose the story telling part nearly entirely or coherrent in some cases even, but all in all more like a recollection re-telling. Sometimes it even feels like the creation process went a bit like "Oh hey, and this happened between that and that, so you gotta squeeze that in over there.". And that's saddening to me, because the story has MAJOR potential with being so interesting and something filled with tragedy and potentially a lot of wholeheartedness. ;v; I actually think instead of reading this webtoon, checking out the novel might yield a better read. If you don't care much for flow and pacing and having a comic be more of a summary, then I suppose this will be a good read for you still. But I honestly think that in written form this definitely will be better (again, IF these faults aren't present in the novel too, that is). I would stick around but I'm not really into this type of writing as it is, too much is being rushed and thrown into the middle. It's not really enjoyable to me personally. So I'll see if I can sometime find the novel and give that a shot. You guys enjoy the webtoon if it's to your liking tho, the baseplot and art are definitely gonna be treat till the end, I'm sure!

https://www.mangago.me/home/mangatopic/17756911/ The story felt very good so far but I think this ending feels like the typical thing I like to call 'long comic syndrome' where the author just wants to finish, no matter what, hence they rush the ending. I get that both bad guys are dealt with now, but it feels in no way satisfying. If we had at least SEEN the issue with the chairman and arrogant brat this might be slightly different but as it is it's rather unsatisfying. Which isn't really good writing since the point from chapter one WAS the revenge. You can't advertize a whole comic as being a revenge plot, people expecting the satisfaction at the end of seeing said revenge play out beautifully, and then not give even a sliver of that. Feels very much like the author just didn't want to bother with the story anymore and rushed to get to the final half-assedly. That's a real shame since I cannot stand all these social politics plots but I bit through just to get a good ending. Which now I didn't get. :/ I know there are 2 chapters left, but neither the arrogant brat will likely get more of a trashing nor will there be a sudden romance developing more between MC and Wacko. (Which was also disappointing, they are STILL more of a situationship than a romantic relationship, so that's also quite disappointing.)
