After binging this instead of sleeping, I'm leaving a review.
I did want to consider dropping it earlier on as this is just, not the kind of work I generally read, but it's well written enough that I really wanted to see where it was going. I also did not like the complete lack of any person with decent morals (or greater), but still well written enough for me to keep going, so I just really have to acknowledge that it is well written.
Otherwise, I was also not a fan of how the big reveals were done (flashbacks and "I knew you knew I knew you knew all along" galore!) or how hard it was trying to redeem certain characters after spending so much time painting them as bad people. What I did like though, was the overall plot, even though I didn't agree with how it was executed a lot of the time, and some of the characters(most of the time).
Lastly, I will say that I absolutely loathe that kind of
open ended
ending. Like, for the love of your work,
! pick something and stick with it. Don't pussyfoot around like that!
The side stories were nice, but suffer due to the issues with the ending.
In conclusion, I see why a lot of people praise it. Even if I don't agree with much of it, I have to acknowledge how well written it is. Solid 8/10.
EDIT: I just noticed this has the manhua tag and I feel that I should add that this is probably the best written manhua I've read. Though, not the one I enjoyed the most.
