Lifeless Man by NOT A BOOK
5.0
This contains all my notes and thoughts! So please, if you want to read this webcomic, DO NOT read my notes at the end
"It was so hard to open my eyes in the morning. To think I would have to live another lonely and difficult day." -Jun
"Let´s be happy together if only for a little while and then let´s hurt" -Jun
I don´t know what to say to be very honest with you. This short story broke me in so many ways. It broke not just me, but it left scars on my heart too. Gahh and the art was just amazing again. I don´t regret buying the monthly sub at all!
Characters
So I actually loved the two MCs a lot. Also liked Jun´s friends, even if we didn´t get to see a lot of them in the story. But I absolutely despised everyone who hurt precious Jun in Episode 15. Like wow. But let´s get back to the lovely Sekwang Baek. Basically Sekwang is a gangster, but a softie. A total softie. I mean, he took care of Jun and was soo adorable all the time, also listens to Jun´s problems, comforts him, says some advice etc. . Find me one Sekwang Baek please.
Plot
Anyway, I think the plot was pretty good. It was something new to me, as I normally don´t read any mafia/gangster/bittersweet story. Jun´s power to see other people´s lifespan is amazing and scary at the same time. But he couldn´t see the number of days Sekwang has left to live, which he didn´t understand why he couldn´t see .But this one was soo hard to let go. With only 23 Episodes, I got so attached to the characters and just could´nt believe it was over.Just like that.
NOTES
Episode 4 It must be hard to have the ability to see how long a person has left to live.
Episode 8
Sekwang : Dr. Ha, have you never kissed before?
Jun : Why?
Sekwang : Cuz you just keep blinking, I feel like I´m kissing a goldfish.
I laughed so hard when he said that pfffft
+ OML Sekwang´s tattoos?!?!?
Episode 9 Literally EVERYONE is so hot.
Oops, here we are. Sekwang asked the big Question..
Episode 10
Sekwang´s mind: Damn... so cute.
My words exactly.
"It was so hard to open my eyes in the morning.To think I would have to live another lonely and difficult day." - nooo Jun bby we love you! *points to Sekwang and herself*
"And if you fall and get hurt, you reach out your hand. If you reach out your hand, someone will grab it. Reaching out is hard but it´s not that hard to grab a hand" -Sekwang
Oh well... now he´s seducing Jun right after that.
"I can´t help but reach out my hand. The man grabs my hand without hesistation. The gap widens...and the warmth that comes rushing in is now hot enought to burn" -Jun
(lots of stuff happened that I just had to write down)
Episode 11 (Im easily falling in love with characters, who laugh/smile a lot) So when Sekwang smiled, my heart exploded.
Episode 12 A DATE.HE SAID DATE.
Episode 14 Jun pls don´t cry, my precious, broken bean :((
Episode 16 Can I just say: F* YOU Jang and everyone else that hurt Jun like that :(
Episode 18 alright so Jun is not the only one with this ability and apparently she can´t see her twin brothers number. woah. I mean I dont trust anyone but that is good to know. But when she said that Sekwang has only less than a year left to live-
Episode 19 why- I swear the last Episodes just leave me crying. Jun can see his number now :(
Episode 22
Jun : I´m not a boy, I´m a doctor.
old man : okay... DOCTOR BOY.
Episode 23 Jun is still concerned cuz of his partners lifespan.He cried the whole night :( But Sekwang tells him not to worry, as he´s still alive. Naw I just imagine them, still living a looong life, else I´ll break into tears again-
Also this is my all time fav quote now- Let´s be happy together if only for a little while and then let´s hurt.
In conclusion, this story broke me. I want to read the spin-offs but I can´t take another heartbreak at the moment.
