Ok what's Bastard? A Korean Comic with a simple plot synopsis that says, "My dad is a serial killer" (if you are reading on LINE WEBTOON). It sounded pretty cliche and non interesting after reading such a vague synopsis like that but then I still decided to give it a try and after few days of nonstop reading I can gladly say that it is the best manhwa I have ever read!!!
Even simply reading the prologue will get you HOOKED on this work that you will even forget how simplistic and dull the art is. Yes, the art is as simplistic as it could to be, there is almost little to no detailing, but that isn't the strongest point of this work obviously. What makes Bastard are its characters, each and every one of them, they all exist in the webtoon for a purpose, neither once did I question the existence of any of them nor it felt like they were just added to give the story a meaning, no. What gave meaning to this masterpiece was the overwhelming emotions the characters display over the entire course of this comic.
There is no boredom in any of the chapters, they are neither too fast nor too slow and the story progresses and the characters develop just at the right time to keep you mesmerized and intrigued.
It's a masterpiece to me because it managed to DELIVER an emotionally overwhelming story because of the epic dialogues and the characters.
