Random Chat is one of those manhwa that seems to have no depth to it from the outside. When I first came across this story, the art looked weird and I honestly didn't have much of an expectation. However, the next 150 chapters that I read would blow me away.

Random chat is about the character growth of a bullied high school student, who starts off as a weak, low self-esteemed, pathetic loser. You would expect him to change quickly and become overpowered like many other protagonists, but MC's journey is one that is slow and filled with conflict. This bullied trope seems typical for a ... manhwa, but as the story progresses, the story of each side character gradually unfolds and demonstrates how trauma has impacted each of their lives. While I've seen many other readers that dislikes how slow character progression is in this manhwa, I believe that the slow character development is what makes this manhwa genius, because people in real life don't change easily. People don't gain true confidence easily and trauma can't be overcome without time and effort.

The story of this manhwa is one of the best I've ever read and I would give it a solid 9.5/10.
The art feels lacking but you will get used to it as this manhwa grows on you, 7/10.

This is one of my favorite stories.

It's about this boy that has an app that allows him to chat with a girl from his class without her knowing it's him and all the good and bad (mostly bad) things that come from it.

There are a lot of interesting themes being tackled, talked about, and explored in this series. Depression, stalking, obsession, entitlement, self-worth, misinformation, respect, pressure, and many more.

Each arc talks about themes regarding how people behave and think and each of them is handled super well.

The thing I like the most is how this isn't a story where the world is always on the ... main lead's side. When he messes up he gets called out on that and he has to deal with the consequences of his actions.

The cast of characters is great, allowing everyone to have a moment to shine and grow.

There are some problems like the artwork isn't that great and some of the villains overstay their welcome... But the stuff that's good more than makes up for the bad.

Highly recommend it.
