If you look up the definition of masterpiece in dictionaries then you will see this webtoon next to it.

Still not convinced to read it? Then I will go into further details for anyone looking for a sign or a reason to give this webtoon a try.

First of all, if by any chance you got fooled by the title and somehow missed the tags, this is not a romance but a horror, do not expect any lovey dovey couple moments. Do not let the cute artstyle mislead you. Now, the real questions for anyone reading this review are, are you tired of cliche isekais? Are you ... bored of seeing the same story over and over again in different fonts? Do you like good character and relationship development? What about plot twists that will make your jaw drop on the floor? An isekai that actually gives you answers and explores the genre through a more refreshing perspective? A story that conveys strong emotions and important messages that will leave you looking at the ceiling while having a life crisis after reading it? If you answered yes to any of these questions, then drop anything you are doing now and go click on the first chapter and get ready for a new awesome reading experience.

This webtoon is amazing.

The start is great and the whole concept and tone shift make it very unique. I also like the characters personalities and character designs, which makes them easy to tell apart. Also, the side characters have their chance to shine, which is a plus.
Trust and cooperation are strong themes in the story (befitting the survival genre)
The whole mystery is very captivating and every reveal feels very satisfying.
The beautiful art plays a strong role in creating the right atmosphere.
To sum up, I totally recommend this. Just give it a try, it’s free on Webtoon. I know I’m sounding like ... one of those promoting pages using only positive words and such, but I think it’s a very nice and quick read, which is rare to find.
Furthermore , if you know other stories similar to this please do tell :)

This manhwa is not like your typical romance where our main character reincarnates as a character in their favourite romance novel and lives a happily ever after. A few chapters into this story, the story changed from romance to fricking horror.

The characters in this story are annoying at first but eventually become likeable, at least most of them are likeable. Unlike many other shoujo and romance stories, the characters in this story actually get good character development. Even the “bullies” that seem like an asshole at first ends up helping the main character a lot later in the story.

This story is very unpredictable, which ... is a good thing in most cases. However if gore, horror, and tragedies aren’t your type of tea, I recommend staying away from this story. Because the title of this story can be very misleading. “Surviving Romance” has almost zero romance involved. Excluding that side couple or whatever you call it. There are many plot twists in this story and a big plot twist in one of the last chapters (chapter 98). It scared me. Stories that break the fourth wall isn’t something I see everyday.

If your looking for something unique and interesting I highly recommend this manhwa. However if your looking for a slice of life, joyful, happy romance filled with yipes and yaps, don’t read this.
