Could have been interesting

by LucyReading

Rating: 1.0 / 10.0

If you were hoping for a nuclear / apocalypse survival where the MC maintains a bunker, goes out scavenging, builds rapport with other survivors, and fights hostile factions, you'll be disappointed.

Bunker setup completely meaningless as by chapter 9, he's "forced" to go monster hunting which means this in another generic portal monster invasion slop.

Too dark and slow

by Mae1616

Rating: N/A

There isn't anything to act as comic relief or otherwise balance all the dark content. You don't get to see much stockpiling of resources, the MC is mostly a loner but takes in a woman and her daughter for seemingly no reason. There is constant flashbacks that make it hard to tell when the present or really what is going on. You constantly get shown threats and the MC kills people while his past is kept vague, but there is no proper build up and suspense to it all. The story seems like the author knows what they are doing and is trying to leave a breadcrumb trail of clues and slowly build up the story, but it just really wasn't for me.

depressing and realistic

by TiredandDeadInside

Rating: N/A

Yeesh. I was not expecting this unrelenting cynicism. Like, the MC is the poster child for practicality.

He makes friend because he's still human and humans are unfortunately pack animals no matter how hard they deny it. He's also VERY human in that he still cares about being "liked" and joins an online community.

He understandably also deludes himself on occasion, and it makes a point to say that that's okay. In moderation. It's just self preservation instincts in a scary, lawless world.

So, though I find it alternately boring and tedious I will still continue reading.

Hopefully there's no romance...

Monster Portal Apocalypse without Magic

by mystyc

Rating: N/A

At least, so far, none of the humans have magic.
This is a portal apocalypse scenario, but without any human abilities, skills, or even a game interface. There are "hunters" with "hunter licenses," but they appear to be strictly military with modern combat gear and guns.

Overall, it is a more "realistic" take on this.

Despite the monsters, the actual apocalypse was brought about by humans and some nuclear bombs. The reason for this is never explained beyond calling it a "war."

The protagonist is indeed quite cynical, practical, and alone, in the way you see in some end-of-the-world survival scenarios. The difference here is that he was like this way before the apocalypse.

It is a bigger world than usual, and even though this takes place in South Korea, there's a world beyond that with hints of politics, activities of governments abroad, and rich people.

After the bit about the preparation and his initial survival, the story get's into a groove that reminds me of the "slice of life" genre, except with more death. So I guess it would be "slice of death" or something, hah.

The story is unique enough to catch my interest, but I can't really say whether it is good or not. I don't expect any major existential revelations about the monsters or portals, martial arts, or anything that might "save the world."
Yeah... this protagonist won't be saving the world, even if that came up, lol.

In any case, I will continue to follow this.

Another Korean Hyped Trap

by Ironmonk

Rating: 1.0 / 10.0

Man, I'm growing tired of manhwas in general, koreans are really masters of HYPE... at first, the stories seem really good, promising and with deep meaning and thought, but as the stories unfolds, you realize it was 100% hype all along, zero storytelling skills.

And yes, as I said, this is not a exclusive critic of this title, but a plague that infest all Manhwas in general, with VERY RARE exceptions.

review as of ch 32

the series reads a lot more like an american survival zombie show than a korean drama zombie show. MC already has a do or die set of morals, so it becomes interesting to see when he chooses to take the easy way out by killing his problems vs not. the monsters are coming from rifts and there are hunters that do "awaken" but the MC never becomes awakened nor makes typical shonen style allies. in my opinion it makes the story much more interesting when he has to ally with murderers, cult leaders, or corrupt officials. the story itself stretches over years, with chapters focusing on key events in the MC's survival bunker, and does feel like the author researched many survival guides before writing the story. it is s

Slow, Dark but Realistic in some aspects.

by VaizardPlayer

Rating: 8.0 / 10.0

Where is the game system? Modern and stable society? Jokes?
Nope, the plot of this one is about The End of World and how the Protagonist deals with the situation.
It's dark, heavy and realistic, the pace is slow, but you can feel empathy with the characters.
You do not need to like this one, is like black coffee without sugar, you can drink and dislike the taste, yet understand about those who liked it.
Better reviews please, taste and quality are two different things.

Pretty good, for now

Even if it's a portal invasion manwha, it doesn't contain any bullshit power/game interface. Just the most realistic reaction the world will have if this happen.

Good art... or is it?

by thehamzatsuit

Rating: 4.0 / 10.0

This is one of those instances where the author has given up completely on the story and instead relies on the artist to create illusions of spectacle when there is none.

Survival? Nope. Realism? More like half-assed meaningless cynicism, and not even a consistent one. Characters? What character?
