Synopsis

There is nowhere that Seon Jin can find solace. At school, he is ruthlessly bullied due to his unsettlingly quiet nature and weak appearance. However, this is not the source of Jin's insurmountable terror: the thing that he fears more than anything else is his own father.

To most, Jin's father is a successful businessman, good samaritan, and doting parent. But that is merely a facade; in truth, he is a deranged serial killer—and Jin is his unwilling accomplice. For years, they have been carrying out this ruse with the police being none the wiser. However, when his father takes an interest in the pretty transfer student Yoon Kyun, Jin must make a decision—be the coward who sends her to the gallows like all the rest, or be the bastard of a son who defies his wicked parent.

Even if I'm sick, I could never truly wish you dead.

A portrayal of an 'antagonised' father.

Parental relationships are deeply intertwined in who and what we become, to the point all that is resented, becomes something you'll eventually understand the reason of... Even if never excused.
You'll understand what hurt you deeply one day.
And you won't be able to do a single thing about it, except accept it.

The topic of how parent's affect one's perception and mental health is one I adore.
I keep noticing how the blame is shifted a lot through the manga, it leads to a very good plot twist.

I do love to read on Webtoons a lot. There are a lot of hidden gems on Webtoons. Bastard was a masterpiece of a comic. I wish they would make a EN version to purchase. I watch Sweet Home. Which Sweet Home is based off the story from the same writer of Bastard. Anyways, there is an easter egg where one of the characters was reading a physical manga copy of Bastard but, in Korean. Webtoon has been making more physical copies in EN more lately. So, hopefully someday this series will have a physical copy as well.

Bastard is very overrated in my opinion. It contains 2d, uninteresting characters, so what happens to the main characters didn't really matter to me. Plot is also too predictable/unrealistic.

The story builds up, only to get a weak ending.

It didn't really feel like a psychological horror, but just random psychological horror elements put in one story with uninteresting characters. They fight for no reason, just for the sake of fighting. There are also no real motivations/explained why the characters do the stuff they do.

Besides that is the art style pretty.

Recommended if you like a non deep story that leads to nothing, the beginning was interesting tho.
