I don't know why everyone is calling the MC a loser- maybe that's what he starts off as, but he is far, far from pathetic. I don't usually find myself cheering on the protagonists of this author because they are all purposely portrayed in such an unlikable fashion, but Hyun is great. His character growth is fantastic and his willpower and empathy is outstanding. The story is so so so good and the art made me feel like I'm there, fighting the monster together with Hyun and the gang. Each Fast Pass episode cost five coins to read and could not be downloaded to read offline, unlike the publicly released episodes.
The character development, the plot lines and the characters themselves are nothing less than perfect. The conclusion was highly satisfying and I cannot wait for the netflix adaptation to come out. Web sweet home was published digitally in english by line webtoon from january 14, 2018 to august 30, 2020. I have read my fair share of webcomics dealing with 'end of the world' scenarios, and I have to say this was definitely one of the best of this genre. Suicidal teen finds himself in a world where people all around him are turning into monsters, and decides that maybe he does want to live afterall.

I've been reading this for the past few months and can honestly say I am still left speechless at the very end. Incredibly compelling characters thrown into an impossible situation coupled with beautiful artwork and excellent dialogue, Sweet Home is powerful and heavy hitting. Hyun's character development was interesting to see, and the idea of the monsterization was really fun(but terrifying. Definitely terrifying). However, I would have appreciated more of an overarching story rather than short story arcs. I understand that writing a satisfying ending to a zombie apocalypse type story is really hard, but the open ending left so many world-building questions unanswered. I have to say, it was beautiful story plot n it made me cry to those people who sacrificed themself to saves others are the real hero.
This narrow viewpoint makes for a gripping thriller as a lot of what's going on outside their experiences is kept in the dark and makes for a very intimate feeling horror. Hyun is a reclusive high schooler struggling with trauma and suicidal tendencies. He spends each day just barely clinging on to life, hating his family for turning a blind eye to everything he's suffered through and escaping from reality by spending all his time on the internet. Completely devoid of hope, he schedules his own suicide only to wake up the next day to find out that the entire world has ended and been taken over by monsters. After the plan to end his own life is interrupted, Hyun begins to wonder if the apocalypse is truly the end of the world or a chance to begin life anew. The women and children zipline to the hill first using all available pulleys.

The situation takes a turn for the worse when Hyun realizes that he himself is slowly turning into a monster, while a mysterious voice in his head grows louder and louder. With his time running out, Hyun must work together with his fellow tenants to uncover the cause of the outbreak and find a way to survive in this hopeless new world, all the while fighting to retain his humanity. Netflix officially announced the series' cast on December 18, 2019.
Eun-hyuk, Sang-wook and Yi-hyun join Hyun-soo and Ji-soo's battle against the monsters in the building. They all go to the roof afterwards but their escape from the building is thwarted by the overwhelmingly powerful, fully monsterized Joong-seop. Left with no other choice, Hyun-soo makes the ultimate sacrifice by fully succumbing to his monsterization, which turns him into a powerful monster in the form of his favorite character from Maria From the Sky. The monsterized Hyun-soo defeats the monsterized Joong-seop with one blow. Ji-soo tries to communicate with it, but the true Hyun-soo inside the "paradise of desires" responds only faintly to her voice and the physical monster reacts to her with utmost hostility. Eun-hyuk decides also to let himself be fully monsterized in order to subdue the monsterized Hyun-soo.
The First Season Of “Sweet Home” Does A Great Job Of Adapting The Majority Of The Webtoon.
Pretty sure I added it already, not sure what happened there. There are multiple listings of the same webtoon and that's making me pissed. I finished it a few moments ago and it was a RIDE!
Absolutely fantastic horror comic, one of my favorites. I'm just here to have a good time and sweet home delivered. It's almost always interesting when different and sometimes polarizing personalities get trapped in a building, that trope is pure candy to me. i love it. I decided to binge read this after Netflix recently announced their 'Sweet Home' web series since the trailer looked promising. Another amazing story by Kim Carnby with outstanding artwork. Goodreads helps you keep track of books you want to read.
This is evident by its introduction of the idea of human beings turning into monsters not through external factors (e.g. virus, curse) but through the expression of their desires. On Joong-seop's orders, Hyun-soo and Yi-hyun search the upper levels of Green Home for other monsters. By letting his inner monster communicate with Hyun-soo's, Yi-hyun discovers the harmless giant fetus monster in the Room 1408 bathroom and, controlled by his inner monster, intends to kill it. Hyun-soo battles against Yi-hyun to defend the fetus monster and manages to knock Yi-hyun back to his normal self.
As the remaining survivors zipline to their haven, Eun-hyuk's monsterization turns him into a large tangled mass that completely covers the monsterized Hyun-soo, killing them both. Over the course of the series, many characters either die to monster attacks or succumb to monsterization, becoming the threats they so dreaded. After his family died in a vehicular accident, suicidal 18-year-old boy Cha Hyun-soo moves into Room 1410 of an apartment complex called Green Home. He and the people around him start being afflicted with strange symptoms, including malevolent talking voices and nosebleeds. One night, through his video door-phone, he witnesses his girl neighbor from Room 1411 transform into a human-eating monster. I'd understand if it was something like lezhin or tapas where the originals are behind.
The webtoon is also said to go beyond simple horror storytelling and focuses on character development, especially on its protagonist Cha Hyun-soo. In the webtoon, Hyun-soo is portrayed as a reclusive boy who, at first, lives only for himself and is ready to die. But as soon as the monsterization apocalypse begins, he makes a big change by wanting to step out of his room, connecting with other people and staying alive.
It has a lot of ugly fights, but at its core, this is more a look at what it takes to make a person afraid. Ji-soo goes to Room 1408 and finds Hyun-soo who is hesitant to destroy the monster-turned-cocoon. Though she also perceives it as a possible threat, Ji-soo is just as hesitant to destroy the cocoon, and reveals to Hyun-soo about Eun-hyuk and Sang-wook being locked up.
The character is named Seop Ahn in the official English translation. The character is named Wook Pyeon in the official English translation. The character is named Seok Kim in the official English translation. The character is named Eun Lee in the official English translation. The character is named Myeong-ja in the official English translation.
Sweet Home marks the second collaborative work between webtoon writer Kim Carnby and webtoon artist Hwang Young-chan. The first work by Kim and Hwang is Bastard (2014–16), a thriller story about son who lives with his father, a serial killer. Honestly this just got me so into it that I read it all under 24 hrs, it is an amazing story, it never bored me and it has a really interesting character development. You never know what's coming and that's what keeps you into the story because anything can happen at any moment. Everyone is under the threat of becoming a monster in the shape of their deepest desires, and this adds extra layers of psychological depth to the apocalypse genre.
