Betrayed by the Beta!

Uhh.. I don't read this anymore because, no pictures😕😔😔😔. So I succeeded, in certain aspects.

69 or 70

Drag along and in the end Trinity dies. Not a very good story at all.

this book is good for young teenagers who still like dumb things…

I don't want to rate the book yet, I am not far enough in. I wanted to say I think chapter 4 is completely out of place which makes chapter 5 confusing.

----------------------- Manhole review ----------------------

This manga is a police/detective genre work, with not much horror or psychology involved.

Story:
Not the most original, but still decent enough.

Art:
Below average. Some pages lack shading entirely, while others feature photoshopped textures that appear quite cheap. The art improves slightly towards the end, but overall it's so mediocre that I can't give it a good score. Some main characters look pasty white and flat because the mangaka didn't add any shading to them.

The characters' faces are almost always crying, frowning, or suffering. What a variety!

The backgrounds are laughable—just traced over photographs. 4/10

Characters:
Shallow presentation, unexplored, and generic. In three volumes, there isn't enough time to focus on so many useless side characters. Too much time is wasted on some nobodies who barely advance the plot, while the main characters are overlooked. What about their families? Their routines? Their homes? They feel like props because nothing is explored.

Instead, we're shown some of the bad guys/victims and their backgrounds only to move on to something else right away. The whole plot can't be crammed into three tiny volumes. Either the writer should have made more volumes or decreased the scale, reducing the number of characters.

Enjoyment:
It took me four days to get through three volumes. They were just half-baked. It felt like the magnitude of the plot needed more volumes to develop properly. It felt very impersonal, as we spend more time on random people than the main protagonists. The pacing is another problem: slow at first, then everything is resolved in two chapters way too easily.

The conclusion almost felt like a parody. The writer tried to keep things scientific and grounded in realism but ended up creating a half-baked, mediocre piece.

5/10 would not recommend

This manga blends elements of detective, psychological, and horror genres. It features a well-structured storyline that unfolds at a steady pace, though it can occasionally feel somewhat predictable. The characters are gradually developed, albeit only to a limited degree; while I connected with them, I wasn't overly invested in their outcomes. The artwork is generally solid and can be striking at times, yet sometimes lacks detail. Being a fairly short manga, it's definitely worth reading if you have a few hours to spare. ^^<p>

For a manga that spans just 29 chapters, the pacing felt somewhat sluggish.  

The concept of this manga—a biocontamination crime thriller—felt particularly relevant amid the 2020-2021 pandemic, which initially drew me in and might intrigue you as well. I appreciated the characters, especially the two lead detectives. Their well-being mattered to me, and their personalities were convincingly multidimensional.  

However, the primary drawback for me was its tendency to linger too long on certain points. For instance, after the main antagonist committed a crime in one chapter, it seemed like the subsequent chapter was devoted solely to explaining what had happened. While there were intriguing elements, the story lacked the suspense needed to compel me to eagerly turn the page. If it weren’t for its brevity, I might have stopped reading altogether.  

I don’t intend to be overly critical; I genuinely enjoyed the manga, though I’d rate it as decent rather than exceptional. I’d suggest it to fans of crime narratives, provided they’re prepared for a more leisurely pace.
