Lookism is a masterpiece of the action manhwa genre of all time.
Story 10/10 (minor spoiler here)
This comic starts with the story of a fat dude that gets bullied a lot. The storyline is really confusing about where to go in the first chapters, it really makes the reader discontinue reading the comic.
The story just tells "-oh shit another bully bad guy and this protagonist has to overcome his fears, boom the bad guy is punished, and then-". At this point, most of the readers are discouraged by this kind of naive story and at some point, the author snapped the fuck out and
...
just changes the whole story into a twisted wicked evil mafia. Drugs, Night Clubs, Government Involvement, Prison Life, Gang War, Generation Fight War shit like bruh they're only 18. Anyway, its really the best decision how he changed the genre of the comic, making the readers interested in what will happen to the next character. The author really knows how to make a perfect cliffhanger and not overused it.
Character 10/10
It's just straight-up perfection, he makes us really cling to every fucking character that exists. Interesting backstory on all the characters, making us the readers show sympathy to them. He is overusing the backstory too much but, somehow it just works perfectly fine. This may be caused by the unique character he makes. Romanticism, Goofy Silly, Heroic, Intelligent, and more. Every Character made didn't look or have the same trait, he successfully use every character to entice the story. All of the Character has a fully ripened character development. And most importantly, the drip of every character I MEAN LOOK AT THEM THEY ARE SO HOT HOW CAN THE READER DIDNT BORED?
Art 10/10
Not gonna lie. the art is just bad at the start, but this manhwa aged like a fine wine. The art got better by 300%. The unique-ness of the choreography/pose of the fighting, it didn't just use a normal punch or a generic fighting boxing stance, it covers taekwondo, capoeira, systema, freestyle street fighting, karate, muay thai, kali. They all use a very unique kicking, punching, and dodging style, that really elevates the storytelling style of the story.
Music 8/10
You hear it right, they use soundtracks while you are reading. This music feature is recently added lately so you are not going to find
any music in the earlier episodes (some of the end of the arc episode have them). There is not really much memorable music as you read but it really adds the climax feel in every episode. However, you're reading speed may not match the sound causing it to ruin your experience, its still good in my opinion anyway
Overall 10/10
I will definitely recommend this to a reader that can read a whole lot of lore their mind can comprehend, has a lot of patience to wait until the gang-fighting arc, and needs a good action story. I advise reading it fast in the earlier episodes because it really didn't matter until the later episode, then you may have to read slow to know the context what's going on on the panel.
