  Fate Coin – Money doesn’t remove misery Hey guys what is up welcome back to my blog I’m so thankful that you guys took the time out of your day to read my blog post. Hope you all are safe and healthy. This is a bit of a different comics from PTJ company and while I don’t think that its their best work, I also believe that it needs time to grow so regardless, a review is in order. MILD SPOILERS AHEAD. The story shows MC Euijin and his friend Junhyeong living a night of luxury by spending money at an expensive hotel only they aren’t rich, the money that they are using is borrowed and they plan to commit suicide together. However before saying, Euijin asks Junhyeong to put the remainder of their money in a new cryptocurrency called “Fate Coin” which was basically a joke. However minutes before they die, the value of the coins shoot up like crazy and this begins a tale of deception and greed that will expose to us true human nature. I feel like even after 1 story arc being compl...

  Tales of Greed – Moral stories that are worth a read Hey guys what is up welcome back to my blog I’m so thankful that you guys took the time out of your day to read my blog post. Hope you all are safe and healthy. Another one from the PTJ universe only this one is a little different so the review will be more like the one I did with Api Bungaku. Anyway there’s only a small description of events ahead so don’t worry, only a little bit of SPOILERS. This Webtoon is very different in the fact that it’s episodic meaning that one arc contains a few characters and things they do and the next arc completely shifts to a different setting with no relevance to the first one. You could think of it like a collection of short stories which actually would be the best way to describe it. These stories are aptly titled, “Tales of Greed” because the stories are all stories of people having supernatural occurances happen around them and trying to exploit them and their greed teaches them a goo...
