Going Up by Melissaboo

   3 Episode Review of New Comic.

  The first thing was the art style. It's unique style that's different than the standard manhwa or manga art style. I find it adorable, like I'm looking at a 2D poly pocket. It is by far the biggest draw so far and the reason I haven't put it down yet, although first appearance it hasn't caught my attention yet.

     I feel for the female protagonist of the romance novel. She's a good soul, doing a great job dog watching and doing the right thing, but these uppity rich types she has too deal with are the kind you want to pour your hot chocolate onto.

     The male protagonist at first read is a lazy guy with a rich dad who skates by on good looks with no real goal in life. Not a person I want to read about and I'm hoping there's more to him, because right now he's not endgame material. Honestly, the baker is in like, what, 5 frames and already I'd rather see more of him than rich boy.

     We'll keep reading and report back in ten episodes. Im hoping something happens that sets it apart other than the art, cause right now the story 3 episodes in is generic.

Room of Swords

     Room of Swords is finally ending. It's a webtoon I've been following for quite a while so it's appropriate to tell you why it's worth the read.      What initially drew me into this webtoon was the feel of am 8 bit video game with characters that seemed displaced out of time. The initial premise of the series is very video game-y. Find the boss, take their sword, escape before the omnious timer runs out. And the MUSIC! While season 2 lacked the iconic 8 bit soundtrack that was scattered throughout season 1, by the time you get that far you're already invested. The music is amazing and you can find them all on YouTube. But I'd wait until you get to the actual Boss Fights to hear them.       While it sounds simple, this webtoon will leave your head scratching. Every bit of it is planned out and there is foreshadowing around every corner. Along with actual shadows. This is an action adventure mystery and while the explanations can get ...

The Guy Upstairs

     First 4 episodes and it's got my attention. It's the story of a nosy neighbor, but is she crazy or is she being gaslit. It's difficult to say and that's part of the fun. I felt her anxiety as she labored over whether to call the cops and stick her head in it. I don't know if I would have it in me and she's got worse anxiety than me. I'm curious where this story is going and what the real answer is gonna be. Is it mental or something supernatural? If your a fan of mystery and horror this might be a series to keep on your list.       Been reading some stories where the "kids" don't look like kids but the art gives you the sense of high school. The art is great and the interactions between the three friends is great. There's a B plot where the popular girl sticks with her friend, refusing to go to a party cause her introverted friend, the lead, doesn't want to go. It makes me curious about their past and her motives. It's not as i...
