Gotta correct something - actually you can still read it all for free on webtoons, but they have it set to "daily pass." That means you can't binge it for free.
You can read the first 10 chapters or so in one go to see if you want to keep reading, but after that you get one free chapter per day (which you can continue to access for free for 2 weeks). But you have to pay to read more chapters in one day.
It's definitely frustrating if you're used to bingeing, but much preferable to an old-fashioned paywall.
That said, this really was amazing. Now that Sweet Home is completed, I might start rereading Bastard.... One day at a time lol. The story is great, the characters are compelling, and the art is good too. But more than that, I'm in it for the actual story-telling structure.
The author, Kim Carnby has several other stories that are worth checking out. I've been a fan ever since Hanged Doll (despite the terrible scanlations... Hopefully Death Toll continues the re-do!), and I feel like with every story he improves *something.* Whether it's cutting between different character perspectives, or using long stretches of the background to fade in or out, or using multiple panels to show a small moment of tension. Carnby and Youngchan Hwang really do a fantastic job *telling* the story here. I hope they'll work together again soon. I'm a Carnby fangirl, but credit where credit is due- the art here is great.
Anyway..... Check out Kim Carnby and team getname's older works too: Hanged Doll, Superior Day, and Meloholic to name a few... They're good stuff. And Be Heun if you want more of Youngchan Hwang's art!
