Jack Frost review

Interesting manwha if you liked Hellsing and similar things where a bunch of crazy people want to fight and kill each other.

I would tag this with:
- Action
- Dark
- Horror (mostly gore, there is no psychological horror)
- Supernatural

Story: 5/10
While the start is nothing too special, it does get quite interesting towards the end, where certain characters finally begin to evolve and change / develop. Unfortunately, this all comes to a quick end, because the story ends right as the female MC becomes more interesting.

The ending itself is also pretty damn disappointing, the manga had a dark feel to it the whole way through, and then it ends on a happily ever after note and, while the main villain is dealt with, none of the other rivalries are solved and now no one wants to fight each other anymore. This was the biggest disappointment for me and this might've been a 8-9 with a better ending.

Art: 7/10
The art is good. The fighting scenes were sometimes hard to figure out the exact movements of the characters, which is an issue for my as I like to look at panels for a while, playing the scene in my head.

Characters: 8/10
This is probably the most volatile section for this manwha. If you don't like crazy characters that love fighting and killing, much like in Hellsing, then you will not like the characters here.

For me, this is great, so I liked most of the characters. The female MC also got very interesting towards the end, unfortunately, this wasn't explored much as the story ended shortly after. You also get to learn more about Helmina further into the story, but their personalities remain largely the same throughout the story.

As you can guess from the last sentence, there is not much character development here, though that's always hard to judge as most of the cast are adults, and so typically less subject to significant personality changes, or at least changes typically occur slower. This manwha is clearly not about character development though, so I didn't let it bother me.

Enjoyment: 7/10
Enjoyable series if you like crazy people fighting and wanting to kill each other. This series is not about character development or teaching some lesson or moral, so if you're looking for deeper meaning, this will not satisfy you. The ending definitely took off a few points (as mentionned in the story section) from my enjoyment here, otherwise this would've probably been a 9-10 for enjoyment.
