[Sweet Home] Finally Finished!!! What Did You Guys Think About the Ending?

Finally finished Sweet Home.

And honestly… what a ride 😭

I’m not completely satisfied with the ending, but even with that, I can’t deny that this manhwa was something special. It’s one of those stories that actually feels different from the usual “OP protagonist gets stronger → fights stronger enemy → repeat” formula.

What I really loved was how it mixed the zombie/apocalypse survival vibe with human psychology. When resources are limited, nobody knows who they can trust, panic is spreading, and survival becomes the only priority… watching how people behave in those situations was probably more interesting to me than the monsters themselves.

The whole idea of humans becoming the biggest threat when society starts collapsing was 👌

I’m also really looking forward to Shotgun Boy now. Hopefully it hits the same level, or maybe even exceeds it.

For anyone who hasn't read Sweet Home yet and wants something different, I'd genuinely recommend giving it a shot.

But now I’m curious.....

What did you guys think about Sweet Home, especially the ending?
Did you love it, hate it, or feel pretty much the same as me?

And if you've read Shotgun Boy too, how does it compare? 👀

I’ll probably share my thoughts on Shotgun Boy once I finish it, so stay tuned.

[HELP] My Telegram isn't letting me download media.

It lets me download most of the time, but sometimes it just shows connecting and I can't download any media stuff, frustrating.

How do you remove those stubborn sticky/gluey sticker marks from laptop to paste fresh stickers?
I'm struggling to clean them, and it's annoying me.

[Sweet Home] Is anyone else getting tired of the “overpowered MC” formula?

I’ve been getting kinda bored with how repetitive a lot of modern manhwa has become.

It feels like I keep reading the same story with different character designs: absurdly handsome MC, some mysterious event/asteroid/system/dungeon appears, humans get powers, monsters show up, MC becomes ridiculously OP, and then it’s just the next stronger enemy… then the next one… and repeat.

I know not every manhwa is like this, and there are definitely authors doing something different. But after reading enough of these, the formula starts becoming way too obvious.

I recently picked up Sweet Home and it was honestly refreshing. Not because it has monsters, but because the characters actually feel like people. Their personalities, fears, beliefs, reactions, and the way they deal with each other actually matter. It doesn’t feel like everything exists just to give the MC another power-up.

So I’m curious, does anyone else feel the same way? What’s the thing that frustrates you the most about modern manhwa?

And more importantly, what manhwa have you read that actually break away from the usual OP MC + system + monsters + endless power scaling formula?

Give me your best recommendations.

Are We Really Progressing, or Have We Just Become Addicted to Technological Acceleration?

I keep wondering about something that feels increasingly uncomfortable:

Do we actually need to advance this fast?

Technology has always moved forward, and I’m not arguing that we should stop innovating. AI has genuine applications in science, medicine, accessibility, research, engineering, and countless other areas.

But somewhere along the way, innovation itself seems to have become the goal.

We are integrating AI into almost everything simply because we can. Writing emails. Generating mediocre images. Summarizing things that take 30 seconds to read. Replacing simple human decisions with models. Automating tasks that perhaps never needed automation in the first place.

And behind every one of those seemingly insignificant interactions are physical resources: electricity, computing infrastructure, water for cooling, hardware, data centres, and enormous amounts of human and natural resources.

So I wonder:

Is it ethically defensible to consume all of that for things that are, fundamentally, unnecessary?

Take software development.

Why does every developer need to become dramatically more productive every few years? Why must a task that once took a week now have to take a day, and then an hour, simply because technology allows it?

What happens to the people whose jobs disappear in the process?

Perhaps we could simply accept a more natural pace of development. Build good software. Improve efficiency where it genuinely matters. Let humans remain part of the process instead of treating every minute saved as another opportunity to increase output.

And if someone wants to generate AI slop, automate something trivial, or run an unnecessarily expensive model for entertainment, why does that computation necessarily need to happen in a gigantic data centre?

Why can't we first make our technology radically more efficient, so that unnecessary computation happens locally on our own machines rather than consuming infrastructure at planetary scale?

Maybe AI is inevitable. Maybe technological progress is inevitable.

But is acceleration inevitable?

Sometimes I find myself wondering whether the period between roughly 2000–2014 had something we have gradually lost: a sense that technology was supposed to serve life, rather than life constantly reorganizing itself around technology.

Maybe progress isn't always about moving forward faster.

Maybe sometimes progress means knowing when faster isn't actually better.

What do you think?

Are we genuinely progressing or have we simply become addicted to acceleration?
