Leviathan Manhwa Review
SPOILER ALERT
MY HONEST REVIEW
Leviathan is what I call a "failed" masterpiece. Up until chapters 70-79, it's a true masterpiece, rated 10/10. During the narrative arcs, you can really feel the tension of an apocalyptic world, accompanied by incredible worldbuilding.
But here's the problem: Leviathan as a story ends too soon. In fact, after the chapters mentioned above, the story moves too quickly. There could have been other chapters that explored the dynamics of the other island ships before the final battle.
And the real problem is the final battle. The tension you felt before, like that of a peak survival, fades. The battle was too simple.
And while the Leviathans had excellent characterizations before, the Leviathan queen really sucks in this regard. The same goes for Rita. She would have been a really interesting character, but the story ended before she could have been explored further.
I understand, as the author also wrote in the postscript, that the studio was under pressure during this "end" of the series' serialization, but I'm sorry they failed to delve deeper into this masterpiece.
If Leviathan was truly the PEAK before chapters 70-79, after that it's a 6/10. I still recommend this almost-PEAK manhwa; this is still better than a thousand other products.
And Chapter 134 always leave me with pain Spoiler
