A series that I once read to pass the time yet become one of the few series I keep up with weekly.

The art turned me off initially as well as the sort off clumsy storytelling at the start but I persevered and discovered the beauty that is Kubera.

This was incredibly worth my time as a novel-reader-turned-manhwa-reader. Because as someone once said, Kubera is best read as a novel.

Anyhow, if you'd like a complex fantasy mystery story with bits of tragedy in it, then I recommend this webtoon.

The plot thickens every chapter and has been thickening for years with layers upon layers of new information and not a single tied loose end, it's entertaining but I'm really wondering if the author will be able to close off things since she keeps on adding mystery to the plot.

currygom , is so amazing.
i am not the type of reader that tries to pull out what the writer/author is trying to go for, and at first I was turned off by the art style. but the characters were so unique and with so much DEPTH i just LOVE it.
this series is not so easy to parse or understand the whys but she is a MASTER,

Incredibly complex plot, excellent characters and character development, extraordinary world building. This is the greatest webtoon/manhwa there is. I always find a new perspective or detail everytime I reread it. All the revelations and secrets and how they are revealed is incredible as well. Something may come as an unexpected shock, but when you go back and reread everything, it all fits. This work is simply mind-boggling and my mind=blown.

I usually say a lot of bad stuff about things I read - and trust me, there's bad stuff to be said about Kubera - but for a change, I won't.

Instead, let me just promise you that while the manhwa starts out bland, yes, it has some really great worldbuilding, and eventually improves as the series goes on - it gets interesting in S2, and by S3, it gets really good.

If you want to read it, be warned that it features quite a bit of (decent) romance, and that its main strength lies in its worldbuilding, and where the story eventually goes, rather than the characters or their progression.

This is the kind of series that gets better every time you re-read it. The more you read, the more you realize just how well-planned this story is. It is mind-boggling, because it feels like the story you could never over-analyze. All the mysteries suggested in the story (thus far, anyway) are solvable, with enough effort.
It seems like not that much happens, but this story is so much more than that. The set-up (and I don't mean paragraphs of exposition) takes over 60 chapters, and the main story, if we can even call it that, really only gets going at 200+ chapters.
At this point, a reader would be wondering: is that sort of time really worth it? Currygom (the author and illustrator) clearly relies on show, not tell. There are no paragraphs of exposition. Every single bit of information flows and comes back to bite (flashbacks, one-liners in conversation, random thoughts---everything is significant). It's crazy just how... seem-less and thought-out the entire thing is, and how all the characters (main + significant side ones) are fleshed out. When I mean everything has a reason, I'm not exaggerating. Each character has their own motives, and this affects their behavior (which of course changes with time and the person they're interacting with). Nothing is static.
Basically, if you're reading Kubera with the intention of getting the traditional shounen-fantasy experience, you're not going to like it. Despite how it looks, it is truly for mystery/problem lovers/solvers. Reading this story is pretty much detective work, and the plot can quickly become frustrating if you don't put effort into understanding why the characters are acting the way they do.

When I first read this I really didn't like it because: Kinda hard to understand, so many things to remember
But as I got further it's actually interesting and great except for the dialogue that are too long to read (I still read them anyway) Actually I think the reason why I didn't like it in the beginning is because the plot is still developing...
But because I like it now dosen't mean I like it all the time...what?
I'm saying that there are parts or sometimes "arks" that I don't like but they don't like part dosen't really last that much anyway so I'll give a 10/10

Well, I must to say this the only way you can really enjoy this. The original story was built as a novel so this really deep to get. Honestly, by now after re-read countless time, research infomation like crazy in net. I still not fully get some plots. well, may be i'm quite dumb.

That i want to say, kubera is the story nearly entire different compare with real world. different universe, different planet, race, natural things, rule, history ...... with many characters who has an important role in story. The story not only wiew throught as the main lead but each of side character.
so many mistery, event and future - present - and past bound strongly with each.

in first time i read, i complete confused as well. But I knew this is very well made story though i don't really get it. well, infact i drop it in FROZEN TEAR when I not done the first read. Just because I can't bear with tragedy, Teo and gandrvan is the most my favourite. still, i keep check weekly realese in hope. AND .......... so muchhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh happy
