Dude, I just binge-read ‘I Decided to Die’ and man, it blew my mind! G.O. is such a relatable character—you feel all his highs and lows. That meeting on the bus with Cha-gyeol? Major plot twist vibes! It’s like you can actually smell that soapy scent in your imagination while flipping pages; such vivid writing! The whole vibe about loving someone unexpectedly feels real deep ya know? Can’t believe how beautifully this webtoon tackles issues around injuries too. Totally felt myself wanting more by the end—can’t recommend enough!

„Was ich entschied, um zu sterben“ fasziniert mit einer bedrückenden Erzählung über die inneren Kämpfe junger Menschen. G.O., der ehrgeizige Taekwondo-Sportler aus Toronto, durchlebt schmerzhafte Zweifel nach einem verletzungsbedingten Rückschlag – eine weit verbreitete Realität in den hecktischen Straßen des heutigen Lebens. Als Cha-gyeol auf den Bildrahmen tritt, werfen sich Verwirrung und Ungewissheit ineinander; hier vereint ein strahlendes Lächeln die dunkle Aura eines gelebten Abenteuers von beispielloser Intensität. Inmitten unverhohlener Zweifelszüge ringt G.O: ist das Wünschen wert? Obwohl misstrauisch aufgrund äußerlicher Merkmale – am Ende besticht diesen faszinierenden Wesen Klarheit voller Gefühle als Begleiter für eigene Ausbrüche seelischer Resonanz.
