Ya know, I'mma go ahead and read this anyway. I'll reply with my thoughts or some something.
1) Season 1 of Terror Man
2) All of Revival Man
3) Rest of Terror Man
4) All of this Manhwa
Fun fact: there's an entire series of manhwa that fall under the franchise name of "Super String Universe" by "YLAB" (a webtoon studio). If you're approaching this manhwa because all four manhwa that I listed are "completed works" -> then you might wanna make a decision:
1) I AM READY TO READ A TON OF MANGA AND MANHWA THAT SEEM KINDA DISCONNECTED
2) Decide "I only want to read this small part of it."
There is "The Queens" which feature two important characters.
Then there's "Super String: Marco Polo's Travel to Multiverse" that was made by the same dude who made Sun Ken Rock and Dr. Stone's artwork.
Also, "Distant Sky" which is available and complete here.
There's a lot more: Hanlim Gym is here but incomplete (not even completed in Korean); "Neolithic Girl" and "Island" are here and complete; "Jungle Juice" is here and incomplete; and finally the end of the Super String Franchise, "Kangtawoo" etc etc
All this is according to the wiki, btw... You can find it if you google "Super String wiki." The wiki also has specific links to read most of the franchise.
Right now, I'm on team "I only want to read this small part of it."
Anyway, enough of that side of things. I'll make another comment for the actual review laaaaaater.
I gave this an honest try. It starts off escalating things real quick -> to get to the action -> and keep at it.
The problem is... it's very chaotic, noisy and messy -> to the point that I could barely figure out what's going on. To me, things finally slow down after around 10 whole chapters, so I can take stock and figure out what's going on.
Here's the plot: Ms. Main Character is a transfer student at a new school. She gets to her seat and eventually
So what's so special about Amityville? It's the land of the dead and people are split into two categories:
Both are "people who died and ended up here" but,
1) people who can't die easily, like the titular Jack Frost who gets ripped and torn apart often, but pulls himself back together and keeps fighting
and 2) people who do die easily.
I dunno where they get their guns from (this lack of knowledge extends to most basic concepts, tbh).
Not even a dozen chapters in, it's revealed that Ms. Main Character can do this "awaken" thingy -> and people never shut up about it. They also call her "the Mirror Image" and also never shut up about it.
I find this problematic as it clearly builds up what will happen: conflicts will arise -> people will die -> new characters are gonna pop up for this cycle to happen a few more times -> until eventually a specific person is labeled as the "big bad" -> and he'll eventually lose, not to Jack Frost but Ms. Main Character -> and final chapter confirms my "

Sigh. Yeah, there's the "it wasn't just a
Between all the exceptionally predictable plot lines, messy everything and random asspulls for context
Example: seriously, one lady was introduced -> two pages later, she is hit with two pages of random flashback -> and she's completely brainwashed, trying to kill the people she showed up with
3/10. I don't recommend it.
Light Deity: "NOW THAT'S WHAT I'M TALKING ABOUT!"
It's derived from "Lupus" (which means Wolf) and the "Roman God of Thunder" (which is Jupiter).
The latest thing that's happened in my reading: I started Revival Man, got filled with anxiety, finished it anyway -> similar for Terror Man -> and now I'm mid-Terror vs Revival, filled with anxiety, and need to go back and finish it.
Send help.I got distracted by Questism/Quest Supremacy and finished it. I'll have to commit to finishing Terror vs Revival. THEN finally commit to properly going through this novel and manhwa reread thing properly. :X

Anyway, at the start, I'd give this manhwa an approximate score of around 5/10. It's slow and incredibly cringeworthy. Thing is, it is a completed manhwa, which is the only reason I picked it up, so I kept reading. Slowly, but surly, it picks up. There is always some random cringeworthy stuff here and there, but it lessens greatly.
Speaking of cringeworthy things, the author should be given a round of applause for pulling off what he did. What did he do? He took something that made me ask "WHY?" -> and by the end of the manhwa, I was like "RETURN OF THE KING!" So, good job on that.
As the manhwa picks up, the questions that pop up are "Did you come here for a fair and balanced scenario? Where stats can be rivaled by experience? Where the only reason someone wins is because they pull an amazing and unpredictable reversal that is so effective, it takes a losing situation and spins it into a victory?"
Answers: Well, you're at the WRONG PLACE! GET READY FOR PLOT ARMOR AND what the comments refer to as "ASSPULLS!"
In defense of this manhwa, I would hate it if it was just Mr. Main Character and/or his allies are the only ones that get to pull this off. Fact of the matter is: the villains do it too. It's also not guaranteed. Early on, it's set up a lot more carefully and by the end, it's a lot more frequent, but even then -> there are still times early on and later on where people just lose. Period.
It becomes a bit of a balancing act that the manhwa handles with a surprising amount of care. Will plot armor kick in? Will this "asspull" thing happen?
On the topic of the translation, it's decent. There is a grand total of 3 chapters in the middle of the manhwa where the quality drops. No deal breakers.
Oh right, to enjoy this manhwa, you'll need to suspend your disbelief for quite a few things:
People are naturally as tough as nails. Early on, a dude gets a knee to the face; not only does he not bleed, but also his glasses survive just fine.
There are virtually no side characters in existence. Random civilians, the police, jail, hospitals, teachers, love-interests, parents, siblings and all that jazz exist only when relevant -> that is to say, they're borderline non-existent. If they're relevant, they'll exist for that bit, but that's all.
I don't think this is a problem, but I thought to point it out anyway.
By the end of it, I'd give this manhwa a nice 8/10. I do recommend it.
If you're unaware, Terror Man is a manhwa that does its own thing
Revival Man is a manhwa that does its own thing
They have very brief moments where they intersect while doing their own thing - the characters do meet but don't properly interact.
aaaaaaaaaaaaand then both stories properly wrap up (I'm assuming as I'm still reading it) in Terror vs Revival.
If this author has a set up prepared across SIX DIFFERENT manhwa -> and all for them to conclude in one epic finale of a manhwa, then uh... well, I'll be waiting. I don't want to read this stuff when it is incomplete. I'm picky like that.
If I had to answer it, he is adamant that he is a guy, so... he's a guy. Trans rights, and all that, ya know?
Soha is quite the gremlin. I hope her brother smacks some sense into her. Why? She sold her rival off to a bunch of jerks who want to go back and do more drug racketeering. They've ruined many people's lives and they would've absolutely ruined her life too. Sure, you can argue with "all's fair in love and war" which will get the response of "yeah? tell that to the police." This ain't the mid-1500s.
