Honest thoughts on 'Invitation to Mystic Messenger' webtoon. (And other Cheritz thoughts!)
I feel like I agree with everyone on the fact that it felt rushed at the end. I would have loved to see more. It was cute, yes it didn't have as intense of a storyline as the game, in any of the routes, but with subtle nods to all the routes within the comic I hugely appreciated it. I loved the art, and how they set out certain parts (for example drawing out the chatrooms as if they were in the same room, if that makes sense!) So as someone who loves cute and fluff I absolutely love it.
From looking into it, they might have ended up stopping it because people were uploading English translated versions on other sites. It just makes me question why they didn't do this at the start as they have such a huge English audience. It would have stopped other people translating it for those of us who can't understand Korean, surely!
As they finished it a few years ago, I doubt they will open it back up or do any more additions, as it seems Cheritz wants to put all their efforts into The Ssum, which is understandable as their new game.
I've been a huge fan of Cheritz since Dandelion (ten points to those who know what I'm talking about! Jiwoo was always a favourite ♡♡) and I have appreciated every game they've put out, though saying that I have yet to download The Ssum.
I haven't heard -the best- things about it. Mystic Messenger will always be a favourite because of how involved it is, the pure effort that went into creating each route and I loved how intense the storylines were. Each character has this quirky human aspect which I adore, and I love that they can talk and interact with each other instead of just the MC, so you can really see their personalities flourish.
I'm planning on doing some more research before going into their new game, but any input and opinions are welcomed!!
Anyway, that's the end of my long mumble ✌️
