I haven't read this series in quite a while, but I do remember it being very interesting, and as soon as you click on chapter one, it asks you to visit another site to get the full experience. It focuses on multiple different characters, with shocking and terrifying things happening almost as if something is watching you. Art: I thought the art was very standard stuff, unless it was a horror panel. Occasionally, it felt like blood was just tossed around to give it more of a spooky effect. Some of the panels, which were super unique, were interactive. It showed you a first-person view ofthe rooms, which was totally awesome. It's about a 7 out of 10. Story: It was all pretty standard horror stuff, but that doesn't necessarily mean that it was bad or boring. I'd give it a 5 out of 10; it was just insanely average. Like I said before average doesn't necessarily mean bad, just plain. Overall, it's a six just because the story was average, but the interactive panels were something I had never seen before in any webtoon. Horang's Nightmare was a good read, but there wasn't anything amazing to write home about. I still recommend it if you're into short horror stories that gets you spooked while reading late at night.
Have you ever gotten that eerie feeling that someone's watching you? That when you turn off the lights, you're not alone? Read these terrifying ghost stories and try not to scream. A collection by Korea's master of horror, Horang. (Source: Webtoon Entertainment)
Another bog standard horror anthology with a gimmick. This time it's "interactive panels" which only serves to hook you in to the series. Everything about the series is so mediocre it hurts. Quality in writing varies chapter to chapter. Some are interesting, boring, or remastered from Horang's contributions to other horror anthologies. The first, fourth, and seventh chapters were the only ones I liked but they're still predictable with jumpscares serving as the main fright. The two-part stories build tension but always drop the ball on the delivery of the final scare. Everything feels like generic Korean ghost stories bringing nothing new to the table. Characters arebasically non-existent. They exist to be scared or killed and the ghosts aren't much better. Some get a little substance and backstory but never enough to be memorable. Character development is unnecessary for this type of story but some sort of progression or even recurring characters would have added the extra layer needed. The majority of the art is average and the gimmicky scares look laughably bad if you stare at them longer than two seconds. The ghosts' models become three dimensional and will usually run towards the camera, behind a character, etc. I let out an audible chuckle a couple times which is the exact opposite effect Horang was trying to have. The singlular thing I really enjoyed about this comic was the 3D models of the rooms as you were scrolling. As you scroll down the room rotates around the character which is a really cool feature Webtoon could implement on its own making the app experience even more unique. Unfortunately only one percent of the panels had the cool effect and everything else was painfully mediocre. Horang's Nightmare is just like every other horror anthology on Webtoon with the interactivity of Unknown Caller. The only thing I actively liked were the three dimensional panels, but everything else was boring. Once you've read the first chapter you've experienced everything you're going to get out of the comic. Plot: 5/10 Characters: 4/10 Art: 5.5/10 Enjoyment: 5/10 Overall: 4.8/10
