I do love to read on Webtoons a lot. There are a lot of hidden gems on Webtoons. Bastard was a masterpiece of a comic. I wish they would make a EN version to purchase. I watch Sweet Home. Which Sweet Home is based off the story from the same writer of Bastard. Anyways, there is an easter egg where one of the characters was reading a physical manga copy of Bastard but, in Korean. Webtoon has been making more physical copies in EN more lately. So, hopefully someday this series will have a physical copy as well.

Character
Jin Seon the main character of the ... story. He is handsome, smart, and a sweetheart. Jin is one of my favorite Webtoon characters.

Overall without spoilers, Bastard is a mystery, suspense, and a thriller all in one.

The art style is unique. It has a Monochrome atmosphere tone on it's color. It's appealing on the eyes. It does not hurt my eyes either.

(Some art styles have hurt my eyes which is hard to pinpoint)

Since I would say the story is 100000 out of 10, I'm happy the art style didn't hurt my eyes.
Think about it and let it have a proper chance.

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.

I’m sorry for the bad English but I'm so pissed and confused that I had to write something. I know this is a manhwa but it feels like a kid tried to write a mystery/horror manga. It's so childish and cliche at times that it makes you wonder what's doing with 8+. It does have some charm that makes you keep reading regardless of the silliness of it, but it's not good enough to be this high, I guess people dont have high hopes for manhwa when they rated this high? I don’t regret reading it but it just doesn't feel complete enough, the ending ... is also really poorly made which makes you wonder what they're smoking at webtoon.
