Addicting and mindblowing, can't stop once you've hit the groove

Imagine a story that is simple, but mindfucking like Xenogears (this manga does not have that level of extensive worldbuilding) but the same level of mindfuckery and Goodnight World, you'll really enjoy this.

I want "bad art" to be a tag because I really enjoy these "bad art" mangas

bad art, mediocre pacing, absolutely amazing plot idea

by EjjiNami

Rating: 8.0 / 10.0

The lack of proper character introduction and rushed pace made a story that could have been an absolute masterpiece, into sth that’s just simply “good”. The plot twists can feel underdeveloped at times but TRUST ME, it’s all worth it if you get to the end.

Cons:
-2D characters, don’t expect to get attached to them
-mediocre pacing (the story could have been A LOT better if instead of throwing new plot twists at the reader, one after another, the author slowed down a bit and focused on raising the tension)
-rather bad art style

Pros:
-the world-building is just simply incredible
-the pace gets better later on
-it’s one of those series which leave a lasting impression if you get to the end (which is at least from my experience very rare)

despite all of the flaws, I really cannot help but give this a 8/10. I feel like it might still not be enough.
If you decide to give this a try, my only advice would be not to binge-read it. Slowing down might help offset the rushed pace a bit
Be patient and I promise that it’ll be worth it

Do not let the art fool you, its good

Welcome to the Vertical world, where every chapter is a plot twist and you will never understand what the story is actually about, but for some reason you can not stop wanting more.

The twist comes when Ruska finds out that in order to reach the bottom of the world he must not go down but up. Will not spoil more. All chapters free on MangaPlus. And the ads support the author.
