About this deal

Given the grim cover and the setting, late 19th century England, I was hoping "From the Red Fog" would be an interesting story with a controversial protagonist, but sadly this manga turned out to be a wasted opportunity, because it's bad, really bad. Yeah but if you turn red fog for XCOM then it applies to you too, your SPARK unit will get useless at some point if you can't repair it and you can lose a good soldier because you can't evacuate it in time. Legolas!” I cry, realising that Legolas has ceased to control our horse as he stares at the charge of the Rohirrim. Legolas shakes his head and pulls his eyes away, regaining control of our horse and guiding us away from the orks which had swarmed around us, cutting them down as we go. I don’t know why, but I’m smiling. Some small voice inside me says that I shouldn’t be taking this much pleasure in death, that something is not right in it, but I have been completely taken over by the bloodlust and I don’t have time to listen to that tiny voice of reason.

From the Red Fog" had a lot of potential, with an intriguing plot and interesting characters. Its main issue, however, is its pacing and character development. With Originally posted by Cadelanne:I don't know, to me it just make sense that someone (an alien or not) heavily wounded doesn't fight as good as when it's in good shape. Does it favor the player ? I think it does but not THAT much, you still want to kill them asap anyway. And when you have a soldier down to 25% HP it becomes such a burden that you remember it can be crippling for you to. Anyway I'm having enough difficulty in my commander with red fog to know that it doesn't carry this hard. Ruwanda encounters a few people throughout this volume, but so far the only one who’s stood out to me is Ivan. He’s a boy around the same age as Ruwanda and is the only one who has had the guts to mess with Ruwanda. I love seeing tough characters taken down a notch by characters who are equally full of themselves. I feel like I’ll really come to like their dynamic because I’ve enjoyed what I’ve seen so far.

Yes. It’s like I’m watching everything through this red veil” an ork stirs nearby, not quite dead. Without even looking away from Legolas I pull a knife from my belt and send it spinning into the ork’s heart. Some people here said he doesn't get any consequence. What kind of consequence? Go to prison? Tortured? Tbh I don't think Rwanda need that now. The reason is because he already experience too much bad things in his life. Until chapter 19, nothing is going right for him, even the thing he want the most, he lose it. What someone like Rwanda need is affection and kindness, if he got punishment, he will become worse, not better because he doesn't understand the significance of what he did. Can you imagine if someone suddenly told him he is a murderer and people hate him early in the story? I believe he will think something like, "So what?" But if this type of thing happen later in the story when he understand more about him, other people and experience kindness, it will affect him. If he will get punishment for killing, it will be later in story or at the end of story like Lelouch of Rebellion, Banana Fish, 91 days etc.

All around me there are cheers and calls of “Victory!” and I join in, but I don’t feel quite right. That excitement is still running through my veins, the strange tingling feeling. Legolas jumps down from the horse and I follow him. The cries are still going around us, cheers of victory. Legolas and I grin at each other for a moment before he grabs me round my waist and kisses me. When he pulls away he looks worried. I’m still smiling but the fog in my brain hasn’t gone. Masae Nohara is a great artist and character designer. From their social media, you can tell they have a passion for horror and psychological settings, and they have a lot of love for the characters they created for this manga. Passion, however, can only take you so far. I realized, much to my misery, that this manga is an edgy, juvenile foray into exploring philosophy and human connection. The stereotypical "this serial killer is actually just lonely and doesn't understand feeeeelliiiiiings" type of story.In this example, we will add fog that has an ID of minecraft:fog_basalt_deltas to the player named DigMinecraft and assign it the name "DigMinecraft_test1" with the following command: /fog DigMinecraft push "minecraft:fog_basalt_deltas""DigMinecraft_test1" emphasize romantical (i've been feeling poetic) Language: English Words: 2,526 Chapters: 1/1 Comments: 8 Kudos: 7 Bookmarks: 1 Hits: 54 I see some people complaining about the characters bringing up family and love, but I honestly feel like these are genuinely important ideas to be explored here, with the focus on Rwanda's upbringing and what brings each character to kill. There's also a short discussion about whether attachment makes you weaker or stronger, and it would've been nice to see Rwanda figure this out by himself through his connections to characters like Ivan and Macalo. But, of course, none of this gets explored past surface level, and none of the questions brought up in the later arc are any better. I'm a follower of the author, so I'm writing this as a fan who's also critical of their work. I'm quite passionate about this one, so this is a lengthy review, sorry.
