Sweet Home

Sweet Home might seem "scary" or "bloody," but Sweet Home is more than a monster webtoon. The story is very interesting, which instantly brought me in. The characters are great, with me actually being attached to most of them! The art is spectacular, and its plot "twists" made me squirm in my chair. I was very sad when some characters had their stories cut short, with me being disappointed with two specific characters. The ending felt "rushed," but it was still satisfying. The beginning was enticing, then it spiraled into a story where I was hooked and reading every chapter. This webtoon is a greatread, and it is very sad seeing many people overlooking this amazing work of art.

Note: My reviews are like a note for my future self. I try to not spoil anything in it, because in the case I want to reread the books, I don't want to know too much about it other than what I think I will remember or surface level details that don't really matter much. I just want to make sure my future self understands a bit of how I felt about it and why I gave this mark. Wow, now this is what I love. Being taken by surprise. Started reading this on a whim, and after a few chapters, some parts of the storystarted to feel similar to something I knew already... and then a comment said that it has a Netflix show by the same name and everything clicked. I remembered watching the adaptation when it came out, in like 2020, because I remember hearing it was a good adaptation... but imo, it didn't really make much of an impact on me, I completely forgot about it and whatever its story was, I just remembered some scenes from the beginning of the show. But once I kept reading... I just couldn't let it go... read 122 chapters in one go, could have finished it same day if I didn't have work the next day and had to sleep... But man, this was a really good read, loved it trough and trough, from start to finish, almost everything about it... Story: 9/10 The story is interesting, it has a good premise and works on it really well. Everything feels... natural... even the conversations between characters... they all fit together. It gives you a really good sense of immersion... too bad I personally cannot really get as much into a manhwa as into an anime for example when it comes to emotions, but it still made me feel things like shock, sadness, almost even a tear came out, curiosity coupled with adrenaline of what is going to happen... and because of that, I just loved it. Top notch storytelling! Art: 9/10 The art isn't very complex, BUT, it fit perfectly with the story. The characters always had really well drawn expressions and you could feel what they were feeling, and the monsters... man.... so many unique designs that were really good. As I said, it coupled really well with the story. Characters: 9/10 Characters interactions felt natural to me, which makes a big impact Well, not 100% of the time it was like that, of course, but it was enough times to make me get used to the characters and get closer to them and actually believe in them and wish for their success. There are quite a few really well put characters that you will like for sure, each having their own pretty interesting qualities and characteristics, that don't end up being in an archetype that you can instantly guess everything about them. This also gives this story a big bonus in my eyes, because it became way harder to read what it's going to happen next. And that uneasiness coupled with everything came perfectly together. Enjoyment: 10/10 As you might have guessed it already, I loved this story, instantly hooked to it and just kept going, always wanting to know what happens next. Overall: 10/10 Wait... it doesn't add up to a 10? I bet that's what you're thinking... well, good thing you're still good at math. While it doesn't add up to 10, for me it felt like a 10 overall, even tho if you take each part out, you cannot really say that part is a 10, but coupled together between them, and with the storytelling it has, bam, recipe for a 10! Maybe I am also a bit harsh on the marks, but hey, once you've seen a few masterpieces in certain categories, hardly anything can reach those, y'know? This manhwa has right now 8.26 from 38.764 votes Ranked #351 Popularity #197 Members 75,688 as of 27/02/2024. Good mark. Highly recommend it to people that want to see a good story with good characters and storytelling, that is mostly a seinen story with a bit of horror, and where it's just... enjoyable and great. Now onto Shotgun Boy...

Usually I don't reach for horrors, let alone gore, but that doesn't matter here. What a fantastic story! I like how insightful psychology and diversity of characters are. Excellently shown development, not only of the main character, but also people around him. For many of them it's the opposite, progressive degradation. In the same time there are so many great, likeable, mature characters who can serve as role models for the MC :) An additional bonus is important for the plot philosophical critical reflection of buddhist thought . It's very telling how often appears in the contemporary art of Asian Tigers. This story gives good answer tothe dilemmas of modern times that crushed youngsters and adults in "Evangelion". Here we have an inverted situation, from defeat on along the line to authentic heroism.

I decided to read Sweet Home after seeing clips of the Netflix adaption on Youtube. I decided the source material would be the best option. I honestly had a fantastic time reading this as the art and horror came through the series like i have never seen before. In a dark room at night this could legitimately scare you. I think the biggest positive of this series is the intrigue brought on by wondering just how many types of monsters were out there roaming around and how they worked. The actual best part of this series is the mystery and not the horror or eventhe story. Where ever the story laks is made up by the awesome environments drawn on the pages. I dont think this is the best horror ever written but i def think it is worth a read for anyone interested in some cool images with some intriguing monsters to boot.
