tetromino 's review for:

1.5

I feel so mean because putting together any project, especially a comic project, is a huge undertaking but I am beyond baffled at the really high ratings. I am familiar with webtoons (and familiar with the harsh deadlines and need to take shortcuts in the art) and even while people's main complaint seemed to be the art I actually had less problem with the art than with the story. 

Wtf is this story? It's my understanding it was adapted from a novel but whoever adapted it definitely struggled or the source material must not have been particularly good because the way characters interact feels incredibly odd. The pacing is pretty ass, we either spend way too long in arguments with crappy quips or we spend not nearly enough time illustrating characters growing attached to one another so when it's made clear they are attracted to another it just feels kind of random. They keep talking a partnership and it's like...what partnership? You've known this guy for a few days and all you've done is fight and not even in a flirty way.

Also the whole werewolves and vampires being space aliens thing is genuinely such a stupid idea that it rounds back around to being hilarious so I suppose I can't even complain. But everytime it's attempted to be played seriously I'm like...he is literally a werewolf alien this is silly!! This should be a comedy not a drama!!

I guess what I'm saying is if you LOVE the source material then read this, people seem to like it! 

If you're like me and you just love graphic novels and thought you'd pick this up then I'm gonna recommend you put it back down. And also my library's copy must be new because it's still got that new colored-comic book smell to it and dang that shit stanky
