Art: 10/10

I am very satisfied with the art. The characters looks incredible good and the magic and other stuff are just amazing! And what's even better that every chapter is colored! So yeah Yamchi did a really great job with the art.

Characters: 9/10

Lark: He is a human with red eyes and when he was small he often got bulled and physically harmed because of that. He is a very happy person who always smiling even though is cruel background. He is very kind to everyone, but he has a fear that other may actually find out that he is a human and they might kill him. As the story develops he gets more and more friends and he slowly loses this fear.

Setz: He is a pureblood vampire. He was the one who brought Lark to this world. When he was small he was very happy and he was always smiling but he had a huge personality change comparing to his childhood. He became a very serious man who never smiles and he is very cold.

Enjoyment: 9/10

This manwha is very enjoyable although it has more than 150 chapters, but if you have some time you have to watch it. You will have a really good time while reading it.

Overall: 9/10

I really enjoyed this manwha and i am looking forward for the next chapters. Currently there are about 20 chapters which aren't translated yet and i am very curious about how the story continues. I am really suggesting you to read it because it's very good! :)

Thanks for reading my review and send me your thoughts about it! :)

I'm sorry, but I cannot finish this for the life of me. Every second I read it I feel like stabbing a pencil through my jugular. It just drags on and on, going absolutely nowhere. Ever heard of the "one step forward, two steps back" mentality? Yeah, that applies to the plot of Crepuscule.

The worldbuilding is fantastic. Especially in the beginning, it just hits you all at once. All the characters, like Setz and Lark, initially amazed me (sometimes with their stupidity). The characters were developed, the plot expanded, conflict introduced, all that good stuff.
The problem is how annoyingly long the development took. It was over 100 chapters before a major part of the plot was introduced. A conversation could take 10 chapters. Moving from point A to point B could take 5 chapters. If all the filler was taken out, Crepuscule would be reduced by half.

Depending on how patient you are, this is worth it. The plot is unique and contains things that you would never even guess at. The characters will stick in your head for a while. But if you cannot stand insanely slow development, stay away.

Well , i don't even know what to say. I don't know what to say. Its very easy to say that the story looked very promising at the beginning, but I was disappointed.

Lets start with the good. You can easily say that the art is extremely decent, and the artist extremely talented and dedicated to his work. Are we done with the good with pros? Hmm, not much, right?

The characters are probably the worst there are out of all rating categories. Most commonly it goes, "Oh, He is a Girl? Well that clears nothing, great." It doesn't have have any real jokes and the ratio of serious : non-serious frames is extremely unbalanced. The story is extremely lacking, even when I promising Light (dark one) of revenge, it was just used there as a phase. The only good character that is there just . . ., well, it would be spoilers if i tell you what happened, right?

Personally, I would only recommend to read this only for art.
5/10

After having re-re-read this, my first half-assed review is getting an overhaul.
Story- 8
The story can be considered something of a typical supernatural/fantasy manga or anime. The protagonist is sucked into another world, one that's filled with supernatural creatures, such as succubi, vampires, and in this case, zombies. In most of the fantasy manga i've read, the protagonist is sucked into the new world against their own will. This time, the MC, Lark, went by his own will.
Art- 10
I love the art, so this part of my review is incredibly biased, but hey, it's my review. The panels are filled with vibrant colors, and I especially love the uses of vibrant shadings. The characters are also well-drawn, and the actions scenes aren't that shabby either.
Characters- 10
The characters are definitely one of the stronger points of this manhwa. As I stated before, they're drawn pretty damn well, as even the side characters stand out. The colors definitely help, and again, i'm a sucker for the art. But the development of the characters is great. Lark, the protagonist, has a slight fear of being abandoned, as he was left behind by Setz, albeit not on purpose. I could go on and on about the characters, but i'll refrain from that.
Enjoyment- 10
Yeah, i think all this kinda speaks for itself. I love this manhwa, and i think it deserved morre popularity, even if i am incredibly biased.

The pace is kind of too slow at the start, but you will be rewarded if you continue reading it. This webtoon has a fresh story. All characters are noteworthy and their past is slowly (too slowly!) being unravelled. There is a thin line that distinguishes the good from the bad characters. You have so many questions about their backstories and about what is going to happen in the next chapter that it is difficult to stop reading. Also, there are so many elements that are present in this story; You have vampires, zombies, succubi, werewolfs and ghosts, all living together. You also get magic and special abilities.
All in all, this webtoon is a good choice for those that like mysteries packed with supernatural action.
