Reviews for The Horizon

I don’t often throw around the word “Masterpiece”, but I think it truly applies to this story. In just 21 chapters, the author manages to build a believable post-apocalyptic world and attach you to the characters who are traveling through it. The art fits the story extremely well, with its dark, gritty style adding to the already heavy atmosphere of the story. The Horizon does not hold back in addressing death, fears, and the darkest parts of the human existence, and is, at least through out the majority of the story, extremely nihilistic (or seemingly so). With a great emphasis on philosophy and addressing the questionsthat every person must deal with at some point or another, The Horizon is a brutal story on the surface that contains a very hopeful message.

A 10/10, beautifully haunting story. If you’re considering reading, please check it out. You won’t regret it.

(No Spoilers) -translated by Google translator The Horizon is a Korean work launched in 2016 by Jeong, Ji-Hoon, tells the dramatic story of two children who in the midst of a war, pandemic, world disaster, try to survive and move on. History 8/10- A simple, yet immersive, heavy and tragic story, brings to the reader several philosophies about humanity, succession etc ... (although sometimes the work does this in an expository way) How a good drama is full of scenes beyond emotions, but they could be better if the work was longer, in such a short time it’s difficult to get so attached to the characters, which wouldbe essential for a drama

Art 10/10- Art expresses well what it wants, pain, joy, fear, disgust and so on, it is simply beautiful what the author does, makes the work even more emotional, in fact a spectacle in that respect.

Characters 6.5 / 10- As said before, this is a fundamental issue for the genre, as the work is short, it becomes more difficult to get attached to them, if not, I would say it would be even heavier, beautiful and exciting, but of course, not that the characters are bad, the relationship between the two principals is beautiful, both have their sad stories

Overall 8/10- With its immersive and philosophical history and beautiful art, I recommend this manhwa to everyone, especially for fans of apocalyptic and dramatic works, it is possibly one of the best in South Korea.

What to say about The Horizon, undoubtedly one of the saddest and most emotional stories I have ever read and not to mention the very interesting and strong message that the author wanted to pass on to readers. Although the story has few dialogues between the characters and I don't think this is a problem, the author of the work prefers to emphasize making the reader feel what the characters are going through in each "Illustration" Even with a few chapters I think the story ended with a golden key. Each chapter is a new "message". For those who want to take a look at TH you willnot regret it. But Be prepared for a lot of emotions and heartwheart

The characters are 10/10

I was hesitant to give this series a 10/10 because it isn't flawless (mainly because the pacing can be a bit off-kilter at times and there isn't a ton of time devoted to developing each of the characters introduced). However, I think a 10/10 series is a series that perfectly conveys what it is aiming to and capitalizes on its strengths to do so. The Horizon is a series that I think does just that: its messages and themes are clear all throughout and it is a master of showing and telling with its narrative. It is an existentialist story in every sense of theword: it confronts some of the most painful truths of human existence: we have been made to suffer, in many cases inflict suffering on each other, and we all have to face the deaths of friends, loved ones, and ultimately ourselves. The series looks at the ways that we try to overcome this suffering, the meaning that we find in ourselves, others, and the events of the world around us. Every aspect of the series serves to highlight these ideas and prompt the reader to ask themselves how they will confront these harsh truths.

Story: 9/10

The premise of the story is simple enough: There seems to be some kind of massive war going on that has decimate the country (specific location isn't given), two kids (named "the boy" and "the girl") run into each other in the chaos, work together to survive, and become friends. They run into other people along the way and face many challenges. Special attention is paid to specific challenges and characters that the boy and the girl face and they gradually form their own perspective on the world. There is a lot of suffering in this story as we are shown the impact of war on innocent lives (highlighted even more by the fact that we have no clue what caused the war or what parties are involved), disease, and insanity.

Art: 10/10

The art for this series is amazing mainly because the author was incredibly intentional about how he used it. The author often likes to show his ideas rather than say them. As an example, there is this moment where the boy's thoughts are represented as images that are gradually get more abstract to show that his thinking is spiraling. There are also moments where there are no backgrounds for multiple pages so the reader can digest things that have happened and soak in the expressions on the characters face. But sometimes this minimalism is contrasted with the most gorgeous scenes that you would immediately want to make a background for a phone or computer. There is hope in the midst of the hopeless of this story and that is reflected in the art.

Characters: 8/10

The boy and the girl are interesting characters in that we mainly see them reacting to their circumstances than having conversation (although there is an ample amount of inner dialogue and interactions). Their reactions to what's happening to them are realistic and they differ from each other in their responses: The boy seems to have a "delayed" response to trauma where things don't hit him in the moment but he has a kind of dissociation experience until it hits him later. The girl seems to experience everything immediately and breaks down in the moment. Both of these responses make perfect sense and the author does a good job of conveying them.

The other characters that they have experiences with (namely the strange man and the man in the suit) don't get developed as much but I think they are simply supposed to represent different ways of responding to the cruelty of the world. The man in the suit draws on tropes that we have seen before (a person seeking out a gray sense of justice because of injustice done to them) but it is done tastefully and the interesting thing here is how the boy interacts with him.

There could have been more time devoted to developing the new characters after the timeskip, but the integrity of the story wasn't compromised because of the lack of development.

Enjoyment: 10/10

I was engaged throughout the whole series and felt genuine empathy towards the characters. I enjoy stories that explore these kinds of themes and there were many moments that I was blown away by the execution.

Overall: 10/10

The series did a wonderful job exploring its existential themes and using the art, characters, and narrative to that end. It is story that most people who like psychological tragedies will at least enjoy. Although I rate it as a 10/10, I can see how people would see the issues I raised as evidence that it shouldn't have the rating. At any rate, outside of my subjective enjoyment of the series, I think this at least deserves an 8/10.

Holy crap man, I am nearly on the verge of tears with this manga. It just shows so much of how cruelminded humans can be and just how innocent lives wanna live their own lives without war involved. The art is just so good in this too like we get to see the boy and girls heart breaking perspective on how they got to know each other in the first place. Honestly heart breaking lads like it is DEFINITELY NOT for the faint hearted, especially seeing dead bodies in this. Just so tragic man like it breaks your heart into millions of pieces 😭😭😭

The Horizon is a manhwa that really made me reconsider My Manga List. If I had previously read some masterpieces, then what is this? This is a true work of art, it is a piece of realistic fiction that really makes you reconsider, The Horizon was a #1 for me and many others. This manhwa holds heavy emotion and was one of the few that had made me cry. The horizon completely engulfed me with its simplistic artstyle aswell as its unpredictable plot-twists, the level of character building achieved far surpassed my expectations, and the main refuses to go down a nihilistic path. This wasa unique experience, with a perfect ending. I believe that you should read this in one sitting as it really does hit that much deeper & close to home.

I like the concept and idea behind this manhwa more than the actual execution. The chapters are all fine but I feel the emotional message didn't always come across as strongly due to some poorly placed writing, also some of it felt a little convenient, plus the Boy's outlook on life and death did a 180 pretty quickly. However, there were some superb chapters and I can truly recognise the fantastic ideas and messages in play. I like both the boy and the girl, and their story is defo a sad one, I think that sadness is what will stick with me from this series,and in that sense the central storyline of these two travelling children is effective. I also don't understand why the Man in the Suit did what he did at the end, would like someone to fill me in.

Story - 6, great idea with some highlights but just didn't go as hard into the travelling nomadic angle and the survival element as maybe I would have liked

Characters - 8, the boy and the girl are both likeable and well written, you root for them to be ok and to have some form of happiness.

Art - 7, very unique, really good at evoking feelings and displaying important moments but sometimes a bit unclear on what is actually happening.

Overall - 7, more out of respect for the idea than anything

The Horizon is a manhwa with a story that is tragic, cruel, and deeply depressing. Yet, I find solace in how the final chapters adopt a calmer, more melancholic tone. The opening chapters are brutal and unflinching. They serve as a powerful introduction, making it clear that although the protagonists are children, this is not a story meant for children nor is it a world they should ever have to witness, let alone endure. One arc that stands out to me is the one involving the old, seemingly mad man who begins to follow the two children. It’s a masterfully crafted segment that plays with the reader'sexpectations leaving us uncertain whether he is a potential companion or a lurking threat. What ultimately happens to him is both shocking and satisfying.

Above all, the greatest strength of this manhwa lies in its art. The illustrations are exceptional, hauntingly beautiful. They capture the bleak, tragic atmosphere of the world so vividly that words often become unnecessary. In fact, even when dialogue is sparse, each panel tells its own story clearly and emotionally. The art doesn’t just complement the narrative, it elevates it.

However, I do have a share of criticisms.

Firstly, the narration. I believe the story would have been stronger without it. Much of the narration simply describes what is already evident from the visuals, lines like "The boy and the girl met," or "They stared at each other." These do little more than state the obvious. The art speaks for itself, and I feel the impact would have been greater had the story relied more on dialogue and silence, rather than narration that adds little depth.

Secondly, the story lacks context. We are shown the aftermath of a war, but we are never told why it began, how far it spread, or why no larger forces such as governments or international organizations intervened. The absence of this background leaves a void in the world building, making the setting feel more like a backdrop than a fully realized reality. I understand that mystery can be powerful, but in this case, a bit more information could have strengthened the weight of the narrative.

Thirdly, the recurring motif of “a boy and a girl pair holding hands” becomes repetitive and clichéd. It begs the question: why always a pair like this? Why not two friends, a band of survivors, or even strangers forced to rely on each other? Exploring different types of relationships could have added more depth and variety to the emotional landscape.

Lastly, the character development is perhaps the weakest aspect of the story. The boy and the girl's name are not even revealed. This anonymity, while possibly intentional, makes it harder to form a lasting connection with them. Their story may linger in the mind, but the characters themselves risk fading into abstraction. They never even introduce themselves to one another, and that absence of identity limits the potential for meaningful growth or evolution.

And yet, despite these shortcomings, The Horizon still left a mark on me. Its greatest virtue is its boldness, it does not flinch from darkness or sorrow. It shows the world as broken and merciless, but it does so with honesty.

i don't know where to start, at first i started reading it thinking that it was a manga consisting of simple references to the cliche "war is bad, don't fight, love each other"... i wish it was so... this masterpiece, which made me cry for hours nonstop, conveys the good and bad sides of humanity to the reader in every part of it, and with every sentence i read, i have a little more difficulty in deciding who is bad and who is good. the author reflects the conflict in the inner world of human beings, what they can do when they have to in themost violent way, and at the same time, how fragile beings we are, that we do not know whether we will die tomorrow or not.

everything about this manga was 10/10 must read one time experience

(TLDR Review at the bottom, as always, thanks for reading) Regardless of who you are, we have all tried to answer a question along the lines of "what is the meaning of life?" Well, today's your lucky day. I bring, the answer… 5 answers… > 1. the condition that distinguishes animals and plants from inorganic matter, including the capacity for growth, reproduction, functional activity, and continual change preceding death. > 2. the existence of an individual human being or animal.> 3. the period between the birth and death of a living thing, especially a human being.

> 4. vitality, vigour, or energy.

> 5. (in art) the depiction of a subject from a real model, rather than from an artist's imagination.

(Credits to Google Dictionary)

But, is that even enough? Was that the answer you are looking for? Most people would probably say no considering they have a rational mindset. Mainly because I haven't answered the deeper questions, something along the lines of "why do we exist?" or "what is the point in anything if it all ends?". To which I say, "lmao, chill, just vibe doe." In any case, I am no philosophical genius, so I can't really answer that for you, but in the same case, I am not wrong with my answer. Neither am I right. It is a strange thing to think about, in which we only do it simply because we are intelligent and have the ability to reason. Should we consistently look for the answer to these, I suppose, "pointless" questions? When should we even start asking those questions? Look. I have given more questions here than answers. Or have I?

The Horizon aims to answer the question of life we all have lingering in our minds somewhere. Does it do a good job at that? Well. To some extent, it does for sure, but there are a few problems this has that doesn't look like is being said about, so I would like to insight some of those thoughts I have.

Narrative:

Ultimately, The Horizon is a message.

I say this because there is no care about writing a story. Well, it does. It just does so with little to no effort. I find myself questioning the world at hand a lot to the point where I can safely say such a world would be absurd. Not because of the catastrophic state the world is in here, but because of what happens in this catastrophic world. I question where some of these character backgrounds are from, I question why plot conveniences exist here, I question what the hell is up with these character actions. You see, if you are writing to send a message to the audience, there is ultimately no need to care about storytelling, because you should be only sending the message. Obviously, you need some characters, not always, but most use characters, developed though? Who cares? They exist only to send out a message. Look at Puparia as an example. Why do you think abstract art makes no sense? It's a form of art with some underlying message, maybe even none at all. Hell, look at Shiroi Kumo, a manga that would relate more to this. But The Horizon incited a real developed beginning-to-end story, thus being subject to everything a story needs to make it work. So the storytelling here is so silly that it is almost ridiculous.

However, I will tell you that despite what seems to be unrealistic. The message has been sent, and it was a very good one at that. Even though everything was attached haphazardly, the main points and messages that were supposed to get across to the viewer were sent in good fashion. This is a really dark pessimistic work that looks at the value of life in the lowest of times. I would say to some extent that this may even be a 10/10 in that category. Despite calling out on how dumb the story is at times, I would be a liar to say that I didn't get what The Horizon was influencing, it was seriously dark stuff. But if only it held itself together and I would have enjoyed this more.

If I am going to talk about real stories, I should focus on the characters. They are both unnamed. Whether that was in the name of hidden meanings or laziness is something I will never know. The boy and the girl are pretty good characters, despite being slapped together to do things in whatever the story called for, they were really good, their development was real for the most part and I have to praise it for that. Some inconsistencies in their action that make them seem dumber than they should, it makes them worse characters, but nothing vile. Other side characters, not so much better or worse. Not that they were focused on a lot, which would make sense in the route that should have been taken. There was one arc with really good side characters though, it focused more on the girl's life and gave some insight to people we will never see again. They were really good in my opinion despite not having a lot of the spotlight, like 2 or 3 of them were. Not the rest. Nothing really bad in terms of characters overall. So I thought the characters here were pretty well made to some extent.

Art:

The art is amazing, that is without question, and you will see how the use of colour plays into bettering the scenes' moods and atmospheres. The character design and extraterrestrial unearthly beings were drawn with such a high precision of accuracy and focus. Little fault with the detail here. However, I'd say 9.5 due to lack of attention to backgrounds, whether the world is supposed to be empty or not, well, I am not sure. It would have been nice to see a little more though if I understand where I am coming from.

Enjoyment:

Well, the story was dumb, but it is cool to see and think about what Jeong Ji-Hoon thinks about human life, or maybe it wasn't them and someone else's philosophies they took. I wouldn't know again. I suppose this just serves as something to look at and reflect from as an enjoyment factor. I didn't do too much of that but The Horizon does get you thinking at times. There is nothing else The Horizon wants to give other than that, so the message side of things is everything that is of the story. Which is a shame but it is what it is.

Overall - 6.73 (7, lowered art score significance, it would have been 7.13 but for the sake of consistency and the main point, I lowered anyway)

----------

TLDR Review:

Story - 4: Silly story, which is a shame because it didn't need to care that much but it did. Doesn't care too much about what goes on in the world really.

Art - 9.5: Amazing. Colours, detail, design. All great.

Characters - 7: Good characters, have a progression that makes sense but hindered by inconsistent actions.

Enjoyment - 8: Message was sent, and it is where you can enjoy what the story is trying to say. A really good dark pessimistic outlook on life that gets you thinking.

Overall - 6.73 (7)

----------

I tried to read this for quite a while now and just didn't get to reading it because small screen rip. I have to say, whilst leaving this, well, I got what I imagined this to be. A dark story. I didn't think the actual story would not work out, but I legit don't even care anymore lmao. I would recommend this, would also recommend you binge this as the connection to each arc is some random cut off. You probably won't look into the story as much as I did but hey, I said what I had to. For an "edgy" story, this was good I suppose, though we get a lot of that don't we? The appeal in this? Idk lol, maybe because it looked good. No clue.

I just finished this and i don't even have words to describe what i read. Beautiful, simply beautiful. The writing is simplistic but realistic. But the art, dude. The art really takes it to another level. Both the colored, black and white and chaotic sketch pannels all immerse you into the story. This is what war is. The characters are believable and very human, every single one of the characters acts their own way and aren't just some twisted reflection on what the author feels. To finish my review off: This is a must read if you believe war is a good cause... Because it'll hit yourdumbass with the realization of what it truly brings to the world.

10/10, must read, had me tearing up in class.

Firstly, the Story: 10 -- Horizon is a manhwa of two main characters that are traveling aimlessly during a time of war, entailing a series of incidents that questions their moral compass and scenarios where death seems inevitable. However, in the midst of chaos and destruction, the characters are able to rely on one another to take another step in their life. It warmed my heart seeing two individuals, despite the circumstances, being able to find joy and happiness in one another and strongly moving forward together. Secondly, the Artwork: 10 -- The artwork is very unique and different from the usual manhwa and mangas you would read. The authordoes an incredible job illustrating the emotion that is being expressed or currently felt by the characters, and it's amazing how well he communicates with the readers with the artwork rather than solely through words.

Lastly, the Overall: 10

--

I highly recommend you to read this manhwa if you are looking for a piece that would leave a "rock in your shoe" to make you question your perspective on life. This piece flooded my thoughts and forced me to sit down and reevaluate, think, and how I perceived life and exactly what kind of purpose I am following. A serious recommendation from me :)

(This portion below isn't a review but rather a commentary of what the message the author was REALLY trying to portray, so ONLY READ IT IF YOU"VE READ IT ALL)

--

I believe most, if not all of the reviews, have completely missed the intended message of "Horizon". I myself did not recognize till the author deliberately used the Bible to further portray a message far more devastating and hopeful than it really meant. Firstly, the author quotes the infamous verse of King Solomon's book of Ecclesiastes (bible), "Vanity, vanity, all is vanity" to which King Solomon portrays the meaningless of life since we all die and all the efforts go to waste. What King Solomon wanted to portray in the book of Ecclesiastes is the meaningless of life when you toil after materialistic things, but on the other hand, if you toil after the glorification of the One Triune God, it is all counted as worthy. The author does an INCREDIBLE job in building up the theme of what King Solomon wanted to portray in Ecclesiastes using the story and the reason the sniper lived for, the band of thieves performing immoral actions to satisfy their needs/get their revenge, the girl's memory of the bus and the sickness, and lastly even the death of the girl. While all seemed meaningless and hopeless, the author ends the message of "horizon" with the boy finding hope in Jesus Christ and placing his trust by grabbing his nail-pierced hand.

In conclusion, the message is this, the world is cruel, evil, and disgusting because of sin, and living a life with a hope placed on materialistic things that will come to pass will only bring delayed suffering. However, we can find true hope in believing in the eternal King, Jesus Christ, who died on the cross for the sake of mankind.

p.s please have grace on my review as it is my very first! I want to thank you for reading it up to this point and hope that you understood what I was trying to say. If you have any question regarding with Christianity or desiring to understand the depth of the message (understanding it in depth is why I loved this masterpiece so much) please reach out to my ig @timewithJesus

Wow, it can be hard for me to find something i can truly rate a masterpiece but this is amazing. You can really feel the boys emotions and it makes you think about life. I cried my eyes out but the ending makes up for it, showing that at the end of every tunnel, no matter how dark or long, there will always be light. This is so beautifully written yet sad, I really recommend everyone (who can stand heart-wrenching stories and a little gore) read this because it has so much meaning and displays the cruelty of war and humans.

Story-10 This Manhwa is about a boy and a girl walking on a straight road trying to find the end of it's road, while walking on this straight line. The boy and the girl met many kinds of hardship, there's a lot of stuff showing their past, we haven't get to look much of the main character's past story but the girl's past story make me cry. There's a lot of emotions showed in this manhwa and those things are the ones that make me love this show. Though the ending felt a bit rushed, i thought this thing is gonna have a sad ending,but it ended happily and great.

Art-10

The art is really great, i really love how it is drawn without colours and have colours in some emotional or happy scene, even though i didn't really like manhwa, this manhwa feels a lot like a manga and i really love the coloured scene drawn in some of the pages.

Character-10

As i said when explaining the story, the girl's story is really good, they have a similar goal that is walking on the road until they die, on the story, they decreased in numbers one by one and each time one of them dropped out from the bus, it felt really sad. The main character and the heroine are really cute, while walking on the road, they talked about a lot of things and they met some interesting and lovable characters. They showed many kinds of human emotions and way of thinking that makes it sad to read.

Enjoyment-10/Overall-10

I really enjoy this Manhwa, i have this in one of my favourite manga and you should read this one, this manhwa isn't like other kind of manhwa or webtoon where the story isn't really that good. This manhwa shows you how bad wars could be and what would happen to an orphan without someone to look out for them.

Overall, this manhwa has a really great and unique plot. This is a rare manhwa that should be on your plan to read.

Despair, longing, and futility — they sum it up. The panelling is the best I've seen, conveying the characters' emotions so vividly that we feel what they’re feeling. We understand their fear of being alone in this world, their desire to survive. The artist masterfully uses negative space and silence in the panels to amplify the characters' isolation, allowing the reader to feel their quiet desperation in a way that words alone could never express. When the bombs hit, it feels like they’re hitting me instead. But in the end, we’re reminded that no matter how dire the circumstances or how deep we’ve sunk into despair, wemust move forward. The boy had so many excuses to give up, but he didn’t. Eventually, his hellish life had some meaning behind it, and that’s what we have to learn.

No matter what life throws at you, keep moving forward. Even when it all seems meaningless, even when your own existence doesn't make sense, don't ever give up on yourself.

A wonderful story that I highly recommend reading. The story is raw and conveys many feelings, there come moments when you feel very distressed. In general, it manages to splendidly transmit the desired sensations. On the other hand, the art is wonderful and splendidly accompanies the feelings and emotions that the work seeks to convey. Overall for me it was a solid 9, although I could raise it to a 9.5. The reason is simple, I achieved a certain attachment to the characters, with most of those presented I managed to feel sadness and anguish for what they were experiencing, but things happened so quickly that although Ifelt genuinely sad, it was not such a deep like the one I would have liked to feel (but yes, there were moments that would have easily made me cry). Even so, I do not consider this a defect, it seems to me that it is also a way of conveying its message.

fucking masterpiece, undoubtedly The most my emotions have fluctuated in such a short time period, yet in only 20 so chapters you become so emotionally attached to any character in the story, and you feel the punch when one meets their own demise. If you've read Aku no Hana u should know how good it is being one of the other few mangas I rate a 10 this is completely on par with the characters, depth, plot, and just everything it's so amazing. The only flaw personally I can really think of is that, I wish it was just longer, I wanted it to keep going, yetI'm satisfied with its ending I wish it wouldn't end. hell I wouldn't be mad it this had 1,000 chapters, it would be completely worth the read at any length.

I can't recommend it enough

The Horizon is quiet, understated, and subtle, while also being shocking, emotional, and unapologetically dark. The overbearing bleak atmosphere dominates this work, while simultaneously making those few moments of happiness so much sweeter. The author pulls absolutely no punches when portraying topics. More so than what I have previously mentioned, the thing that stuck with me the most was how much meaning and emotion is portrayed not through dialogue, but simply through imagery. In fact, there is very little dialogue at all. The art and pacing has absolutely no filler. Not a single panel is wasted. Everything in this story is there for a reason.I cannot name another manga that has made me feel as many emotions to the extent that The Horizon has. The straightforward (literally) concept allows for a story that in it's grit and ugliness is absolutely beautiful. It is an absolute crime that this is not better known. I do not often use this word, but it is an absolute masterpiece. I cannot praise this work enough.

It's a mostly contemplative, harsh and bleak story, sort of in the vein of Blame! which means little dialogue and loneliness abound. It will make you react emotionally whether you like it or not, it's abrupt and brutal in it's approach for sure in regards to the relationships within The Horizon. By no means it conveys schadenfreude, you will root for the characters like you're there. I recommend witnessing for yourself this tragic story has humans are portrayed like merciless survivors, hopelessly clinging to life when all hope is gone. It has a beautiful depth to it and is, in my opinion, deserving of the highestrating. It may be a short manhwa and to the point, it may even be simplistic in it's art style, but surely has a magic of it's own.

One of the things I particularly enjoy when reading manga (contrary to anime) is that I can read while listening to a suitable soundtrack of my choosing, that definitely heightens the mood. I would go for something more dark ambient, or even something heavier and doom-ish.

And yes.. it will make you want more development, context and explanation by the end. That's never a bad thing, it means it lingers in your mind, like all the stuff you experience intensely and makes an impression on you, and that itself can be considered "good art". The Horizon, is one of those works of art, and I fully recommend it.

I feel compelled to write a review on this, never once has a story really gripped the essence of my being so much as this one. It's depressing. The harsh dynamic between the pure beauty of life and love, and its equally beautiful fragility. One day we are all going to die, it's inevitable, and being afraid is okay. Having worries is okay. Having fears is okay. It's part of what makes life as beautiful as it is. Stories like these genuinely make me happy; which I'm aware contradicts the very first line of my review. You're not alone in this vast and wide world andas depressing and lonely existence can feel sometimes you've had a part in this wide, wide history no matter how small or seemingly insignificant.

To take away from this story i'd only like to preach one thing, and not to be a crazy religious enticer, is to be kind. Being nice and loving can only help people, even if it's just one line in the crazy story book that every person's life is, it's one line that wouldn't have been there without you.

However, if you struggle with anxiety and existential dread maybe skip this one out; not that it isn't a beautiful story but because sometimes a nihilistic outlook on life isn't always whats best for you. Try to be positive and treasure those around you. :)
