About this deal

The name of the director, John Pokénter, is likely a reference to the real world film director John Carpenter. He directed a movie called Funhouse about a killer in an amusement park, similar to the plot of Wanderers in the Park. This manga is not for the faint of heart. Saying it was intense is a complete understatement. I warn you going in: there are no silver linings to be found here and I highly recommend you take heed of any trigger warnings you see for this series. 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. Some scenes are really uncomfortable to read trough I rarely saw so much violence in a single volume. I am usually not bothered by it that much but this time it left me with an uneasy feeling for the rest of the day. I think in theory Ruwanda is an interesting character but he doesn’t get any development at all which ruins his potential. Any character has to face difficulties even if said character is a murderer. I don’t think he faced any major issues, yes, he found himself in terrible situations but he could get away almost too easily each time.

After leaving the organization, Ruwanda wanders around in the forest with his thoughts. Language: English Words: 1,075 Chapters: 1/1 Kudos: 6 Hits: 28 edgy worldview, I was willing to read through it. I thought that From the Red Fog might be a gorefest with a villain protagonist who outsmarts everyone.I agree on the first part (it make sense), but it can really favor you, for exemple you have a psi soldier, it can do mindspin and then use another move, since targets lose will when injured it means you have a higher chance of doing something to it.

You’re trembling. Are you sure you’re alright” he’s staring into my eyes now and I’m beginning to feel self-conscious. The son of Miranda, a murderer. He was a lonely child raised in captivity. Sometimes, his behavior reflects that of a killers but with the mind of a child." [2] it being only 25 chapters long, it tries its hardest to show the whole picture of Rwanda's story while also giving some spotlight to the other characters, but it ultimately has no time to truly develop them, which is not surprising, as it barely has enough time for its own protagonist in the first place. And yes, this benefits XCOM and doenst penalizes you that much, you can heal or just do something to dodge its problems. And also that XCOM units are way less durable than what advent has so its not like your soldiers will hang around in low HP for too long, they either get killed or be at HP state where the penalties arent crippling that much. Thats why i play with the quadratic fog, the worse are the injuries, the better and that near-death units will be heavily penalized. Compared to linear scaling where there is slightly larger penalties early on while the near-death state isnt as dramatic as with quadratic scaling. To remove the fog that was assigned the name "DigMinecraft_test6" from the nearest player: /fog @p remove "DigMinecraft_test6" How to Enter the Command 1. Open the Chat WindowAkai Kiri no Naka kara is a gory psychological manga that starts out pretty average and suffers an extremely bad second half. 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.

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. The gory scenes are poorly drawn, going against what should be the horror nature of the manga itself. Faced with such scenes, being so frequent and repetitive, one remains almost indifferent, since they are absolutely devoided of pathos. Lord Winter appears, and he has a job that requires Ruwanda’s special talents. In London. You don’t need to feel too much pity for the lad’s targets this time around as their specialty is torturing young boys to death. But it does lead to some personal…regret, perhaps, for Ruwanda. A beautiful girl. One of her parents is a doctor, and she grew up in a wealthy family. She doesn't feel guilty when hunting, and enjoys killing animals." [4]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 I’ll redo my review because I don’t plan on reading the other volumes and I want to give my full opinion on this book.

I was so certain I'd like this because violent historical stuff is really up my alley, (I even bought the second volume of this before I read the first because I thought for sure I'd like it), but this is just so pointless and confusing. Between chapter one and chapter two, I honestly thought for a second that we were following a different main character, because he acted so differently, all of a sudden he was in a different home, etc. It's...sort of explained later in the chapter, but very poorly. Why would a child like Ruwanda want to live with someone who whips him at the drop of a hat when he could just kill her and live in the abandoned house? He seems to only want the freedom to kill as much as he can. Which leads me to wonder what's going on in his head, or rather, the writer's head. As a character Ruwanda is confusing and doesn't have a point or any real psychology.

OP: The more HP you lose the more stats you lose (not based on % health from what I saw), if you use the quadratic fog then the red fog put less penalty from what I saw. I really want to have a command that tell me exactly how much red fog affect my soldier but I guess I just have to heal them to remove it. Sectopods and such big ennemies will also lose stats, below 30% HP a sectopod with 11 mobility will have the mobility of a 6 mobility soldier in a way.
