While writing this review I find myself in a position of affliction. Every limb of my literary body tears and rends its bones separate from the whole, in a combative wave of dissonance Bastard is wonderful. Bastard is awful. Bastard is ecstasy. Bastard is Bastard.
I am here to set the record straight on this series. The most unfortunate and unnecessary problem with Bastard is its ever-present reliance on bad writing tricks and hypnotic acts dependent on the ignorance of the reader. Yet, the irony is that this utilization of plot conveniences and literary evasion grants the series a delectable dynamicsm that one cannot help

At first, I must say that I really liked the manhwa and the characters (with special from Manny and Jin himself) and I had a good time reading it. However, I cannot ignore a factor that for me killed a large part of Bastard's score.
The tutor's introductory death is a big problem. As much as Seon is powerful and influence is very necessary for an assassin, it doesn't change the fact that detectives could make the simple call that she disappeared under the tutelage of a private teacher and worked for the CEO. Therefore, the whole plot could have been discovered early on by the ...

After some time of reading countless Manga,Comics or what the fuck you call them. I searched for something new, similar to how i discovered the Anime and Mango medium as a whole.
I saw that there was a top list for the socalled "Korean Mangos" or "Manhwa" and while i normally don't trust MAL's top list, i started the top rated one Bastard and finished it in a relatively short time. Bastard has a simple premise, a father likes girls so much he wants to kill them and his son is his accomplice despite not wanting to be it he drags along since Jin (the Son) ...

At first this manhwa looked so appealing to me. I read reviews and recommendations the night before; and I was excited to give this a read. I ended up having to drop it 8 chapters later because it's such a slow start, the appeal I thought it had was not there anymore. Maybe it's my A.D.D wanting the story to get to the point already but I am not sure if I'll pick it up again in the future to give it another try but as of right now, I think I'll be okay. Although, the reviews say otherwise so maybe it does get better

Bastard is very overrated in my opinion. It contains 2d, uninteresting characters, so what happens to the main characters didn't really matter to me. Plot is also too predictable/unrealistic.
The story builds up, only to get a weak ending. It didn't really feel like a psychological horror, but just random psychological horror elements put in one story with uninteresting characters. They fight for no reason, just for the sake of fighting. There are also no real motivations/explained why the characters do the stuff they do. Besides that is the art style pretty. Recommended if you like a non deep story that leads to nothing, the beginning was interesting tho.

Bastard
This manhwa is almost something of a "love-hate" relationship for me. I love it, but at the same time, I can hardly list the moments in how often the plot stumbled and how average the writing style is. [Story 4] The premise is simple, the seemingly lovable father is a complete psychopath and serial killer and the protagonist is his accomplice who wants to get away from him. The story follows a very monotonous and transparent path to the end. There is a small twist at the end regarding the protagonist's accident, but that's about it. There are no great ideas and the story simply ... |
