Note: My reviews are like a note for my future self. I try to not spoil anything in it, because in the case I want to reread the books, I don't want to know too much about it other than what I think I will remember or surface level details that don't really matter much. I just want to make sure my future self understands a bit of how I felt about it and why I gave this mark.

Wow, now this is what I love. Being taken by surprise. Started reading this on a whim, and after a few chapters, some parts of the story ... started to feel similar to something I knew already... and then a comment said that it has a Netflix show by the same name and everything clicked. I remembered watching the adaptation when it came out, in like 2020, because I remember hearing it was a good adaptation... but imo, it didn't really make much of an impact on me, I completely forgot about it and whatever its story was, I just remembered some scenes from the beginning of the show. But once I kept reading... I just couldn't let it go... read 122 chapters in one go, could have finished it same day if I didn't have work the next day and had to sleep... But man, this was a really good read, loved it trough and trough, from start to finish, almost everything about it...

Story: 9/10

The story is interesting, it has a good premise and works on it really well. Everything feels... natural... even the conversations between characters... they all fit together. It gives you a really good sense of immersion... too bad I personally cannot really get as much into a manhwa as into an anime for example when it comes to emotions, but it still made me feel things like shock, sadness, almost even a tear came out, curiosity coupled with adrenaline of what is going to happen... and because of that, I just loved it. Top notch storytelling!

Art: 9/10

The art isn't very complex, BUT, it fit perfectly with the story. The characters always had really well drawn expressions and you could feel what they were feeling, and the monsters... man.... so many unique designs that were really good. As I said, it coupled really well with the story.

Characters: 9/10

Characters interactions felt natural to me, which makes a big impact Well, not 100% of the time it was like that, of course, but it was enough times to make me get used to the characters and get closer to them and actually believe in them and wish for their success. There are quite a few really well put characters that you will like for sure, each having their own pretty interesting qualities and characteristics, that don't end up being in an archetype that you can instantly guess everything about them. This also gives this story a big bonus in my eyes, because it became way harder to read what it's going to happen next. And that uneasiness coupled with everything came perfectly together.

Enjoyment: 10/10

As you might have guessed it already, I loved this story, instantly hooked to it and just kept going, always wanting to know what happens next.

Overall: 10/10
Wait... it doesn't add up to a 10? I bet that's what you're thinking... well, good thing you're still good at math. While it doesn't add up to 10, for me it felt like a 10 overall, even tho if you take each part out, you cannot really say that part is a 10, but coupled together between them, and with the storytelling it has, bam, recipe for a 10! Maybe I am also a bit harsh on the marks, but hey, once you've seen a few masterpieces in certain categories, hardly anything can reach those, y'know?
This manhwa has right now 8.26 from 38.764 votes Ranked #351 Popularity #197 Members 75,688 as of 27/02/2024. Good mark. Highly recommend it to people that want to see a good story with good characters and storytelling, that is mostly a seinen story with a bit of horror, and where it's just... enjoyable and great. Now onto Shotgun Boy...

Wow. Just wow. I NEVER, write reviews. But this one deserves it. If you enjoyed the more popular work by this author, definitely give this one a try. I haven’t shed tears from reading or watching something in quite a while, not even for Bastard. This is totally different than Bastard, this is centralized around the concept of monsters and survival. I had little faith going in, but wow it just blew my mind. The characters are all amazing! I find it hard to say much about it without spoiling, I think it’s great to just go into it blind without knowing the plot first.

I made an account just to revew this 5 stars. Sweet home is a sad story it’s scary but it’s sader more than scary I read the whine thing and I don’t regret it the ending is one of the best I’ve read I recommend going into it blind like I did. I love the growth of the characters in the story we start out by thinking the main character is like the way he is because he was spoiled but later in the story we find out that wasn’t the case and we warch him grow Aaron character. My final thoughts is if you ... just read manga and manwha for an over powered main charictor that gets a harem don’t read sweet home he gets more powerful but it’s a very slow journey. But I would recommend sweethome who just love manga with story and good characters.
