It contains very disturbing themes, but that's what psychological horror stories are all about, no? They're supposed to give you the chills, twist your brain, and make you worry for your sanity whenever you decide to click 'next chapter' or 'next episode.' Killing Stalking has definitely succeeded in doing these. If you're looking for a wild ride, Killing Stalking is for you. Did it have me at the edge of my seat? Yes. I'm just here for the long painful ride.ĭid this series scare me? No. So, no, I'm not rooting for anyone in this manhwa. THIS MANHWA IS ABOUT ABUSE!!! Both characters are obsessive, mentally unstable individuals who don't know the first thing about being human. Websites should really change the genre in Killing Stalking because it's not a romance manga. Please do not ignore what the author said in her notes. Only a crazy person could write a character as terrifyingly inhuman as Sangwoo and Yoon Bum. This is my first time reading a webtoon/manhwa like this, so I didn't get my hopes up.Īnd, holy crap, I think I'm in love with the author now.

I decided to read Killing Stalking because I wanted to see how 'crazy' the fanbase is making Sangwoo to be. I wanted to read psychological horror fiction after finishing Horimiya. I didn’t want my personal distaste to affect my rating of the story, so I kept it as 9/10. I feel like the author is literally abusing the readers with the messed up things they come up with in the story. And by that I mean it stresses me out so much it’s difficult to move onto the next chapter. Personally, I had a lot of trouble finishing it because it’s really hard to read. Don’t emulate him or fall for him.Ī bit slow at times and that is the only objective criticism I can offer to the story. But ultimately he is definitely the bad guy.

You want him to get caught to stop his destructiveness but also you don’t because he can be sweet to Yoon Bum at times. He always keeps you guessing as to what he will do next.

Oh Sangwoo particularly is compelling with how messed up he is. We get a glimpse of his backstory and his methods as a police officer are questionable, but he gets the job done. He’s been abused and is abused throughout this story it’s hard not to root for him to be happy for once. He does some very wrong things, but he has some major underdog energy going for him. Our main character Yoon Bum is a poor abused cinnamon roll. The sex scenes are disgustingly well-drawn and disgusting, but that has nothing to do with the art style.Įach of the 3 men have a lot of backstory and depth to them. It’s really well done and probably one of the best I’ve seen. I should preface I’m not one who often reads or seeks out these types of stories tho, so I can’t say how it compares to others in the genre.
