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

METRO

Complete | Hongou chika | 2019 released

Finally a manga that depicts mental trauma and emotions stirred by it perfectly well! The age difference might be an issue for some readers, but the trama-part is very well written and is probably one of the very tiny handful of stories that actually do traumatized characters right. It didn't just serve as a sob story background for him to be messed up in the head, it was what formed his character. Unlike SO many other semes you might encounter with the "traumatized past, hence I'm a fucked up jerk and what I do is justified" trope, this character had actual reason depicted for his issues, acknowledged them from the start but still fell into the traumatic schema of having to follow what his messed up head tells him. His character was BUILD with the trauma in mind, and focus, not like most authors that go: Oh, but we need to give him a reason to be a fucked up jerk, or else people won't like him and cheer him on...let's give him a fucked up past and not go into detail when depicting how trauma fucks up people emotionally! It's ok to just gloss over it and never show him being emotionally unstable, nobody cares about that anyway~ :D

Ok, no. Unless the author just didn't want to continue this story and just went "fuck it~", this ending should be misflagged, right? You cannot honestly expect THIS (chapter 33) to be an ACTUAL ending, IF you wanna dare call yourself a good writer, that is. Given who and what the characters and the story are, this is only an option as an ending for a season to the webtoon. But if by any chance the author is serious about THIS being the ending and them just going on to write useless side stories then...sorry but you just ruined the whole entire story. THAT was by no means a satisfying nor logical point to end the story. Even newbie writers write better endings than that. If this honestly is all we get, I'm not gonna recommend this or rate this high, because it's more than lackluster writing right there at the end and the art and smut scenes wouldn't be able to turn the score. WTF is wrong with people these days? You have a good story only every so often and half of those are either butchered by lazy execution in art, writing or just the scanlation/translation. Can we please stop those trends? I'd be very happy about that...

I'll keep your secret

Ongoing | Babsot | 2019 released

Another good story with amazing art butchered by a half-assed job being done. The plot is SUPER interesting, the art is AMAZING, but the way it was written is just awful. If you read it, not only is the translation work really not great and some of the writing is lost in that, but even IF I correct the mistakes made via translation (as well as context is given anyway) it still feels like there is A LOT missing. The story feels like you missed the intro chapter, it feels like an entire chapter or more is missing inbetween each chapter provided on this website, characters are being talked about like we should know who TF we are talking about (but we don't since they were never ever introduced, which is a VERY obnoxious writing flaw tbh) and all in all it feels terribly rushed with all of this coming at you combined. Such a shame. It was such a gem based on basic plotline and especially the art, but this turned into a page-flicker due to all these issues. It's not enjoyable, just confusing. It's worth looking at the artworks, but all in all I'd suggest not bothering to read it. It makes roughly some sense, but too much is missing/being left out. You'd be better of looking at the art and making up your own story to be honest. :/

Murderer Llewellyn's enchanting dinner invitation

Complete | Sum Na Gi,Muk Bu | 2000 released

Great, it seems that glorifying and fetishizing murder/murderers is becoming a thing now. At least this one has more logic than the last one and he does NOT let the body rot in his home for days or weeks (which didn't make sense for a public figure in that other trash work). He only lets them lie around for a day or two, even if that also makes no sense. The logic is horseshit, the fetishizing of a killer/psycho is downright sickening and the chapters are jumbled up as fuck early on. DO NOT READ if you have any decent humanoid features, mentally speaking. If this was a story that portrayed a psycho killing for good reasons, wanting to stop and needing to get help with the help of their newfound love, then I'd read it. But this is just subhuman trash for people that think fetishizing, let alone jacking off to murderers (just because they look nice in the artworks) is A-OK. Fuck this. Even the trashiest Omegaverse crap is better than this kinda shit. And THAT's saying alot if you know my feelings about that rape glorification genre...
