Story - 8
Looking at the synopsis, you can already tell that shit gonna go down. The MC apparently just got seperated/divorced from his wife and lost his job. The fact that his dad died and he had to move for the burial proceeds signalled the first major point of the story. Homie was planning to permanently stay there!!! It was at the moment he announced this decision to the locals of the countryside community, the story picks up. I'll tell you right now, the MC is a pain in the ass and I like him for that! He's inquisitive and attentive. So, since all the
...
above questions were bugging him, he decides to take it up on himself to investigate.
The locals were like, 'Is that what you finna do? Okay. Challenge accepted!'

Very nice to the eyes and colourful. I mean, this is a modern manhwa, this ain't no black and white shit!!! It reminds me of cartoons from Cartoon Network from my childhood for some reason haha. You won't be disappointed in this aspect, trust me.
Character - 10
In my opinion, this is the strongest part of this manhwa. All the characters are well crafted, even a weak character is well crafted here. This is a serious manhwa through and through, no comedic aspects anywhere. That's a huge plus for me. I don't really like comedy going with my mysteries and thrillers to be fair.
There's a lot of dialogue in this manhwa, so you have to pay attention to those (who said what and to whom) more than the norm. Why I say that is because during dialogues like phone conversations (and other instances), they don't always signify who's saying what. You'll have to be attentive enough to discern who's saying this part and who's replying based on your intuition and knowledge of the characters, which is based on how you've understood them. Quite fun too.
You know, when it comes to interactions with humans, there's the saying, 'keep your friends close and your enemies closer'. This manhwa is a pure example of how that saying is put to practise at different moments. The MC to the Village Chief+his accomplices (and vice-versa) and a person from the MC's past to the MC (one way street yo!).
Also, there comes a time when you're in a bind and the only person you know can help is someone you hate/dislike genuinely. What do you do? You grit your teeth, swallow your pride and seek them out for help, irrespective of how things went in the past between you and the person. This is shown here in an actual realistic format. You guys never become friends or anything, you keep beefing, but you get helped.
Also, on characters, all the relevant characters in this manhwa got dirt (which is pretty much realistic if you ask me).
Enjoyment - 9
I thoroughly enjoyed this, even though they wasn't much action. I did have to hop from one source to another to actually read it in its entirety, I did say it wasn't complete on MangaZone. The realistic nature of the manhwa was a plus with its thrills and mysteries. The mystery aspect doesn't disappoint, it was consistent. It was unpredictable at some unexpected moments (which is meant to be the general idea right?).
Also, the works of this author tends to win awards and get adapted to TV Series and Movies. There's a Live Action movie for Moss out already, it earned big bucks apparently. Check it out if you interested. (I know I am!)
Overall - 9
