What I love most about Unsounded is that at no point have I lost track of the plot, which is a problem with many other story-driven comics.

Sette may be a pain in the ass, but when you get to her back story...damn that was dark

Hands down one of my favorite web comics. Shit gets dark, fast. The way magic works is fantastic, and you become genuinely invested in 1/2

every main character. Except Quigley - he's still kind of a wet turd 2/2

Quigley's okay, he has his reasons. Kind of a unique set of pressures on him since he's an outlaw plat.

Bah, Quigley is great. And a great foil for Duane.

I've read few comics that are on par to this one. And yes, the girl is insufferable. In fact, Ch 1 was made this way to ensure that you 1/2

She is intolerable. But she also has leverage on him.

It takes a satisfyingly long time to come around. They don't rush character development at all, which is nice. You may not end up 1-

liking her particularly, but you'll find out a *lot* of great backstory that will at least make you feel empathetic for her. 2-2

Like any well written annoying child she gets a decent enough character arc that makes her likeable later on.

9 years ago | Likes 7 Dislikes 0

Looks good, but the girl pisses me off. I couldn't read more than this to be honest. She needs to get what's coming to her.

9 years ago | Likes 7 Dislikes 0

While the comic is good, I wouldn't recommend it. Too much of stuff like that to make it a pleasant read.

9 years ago | Likes 3 Dislikes 1

Much appreciated. Looks like some awesome world building was done, but I think likeable characters mean more to me.

9 years ago | Likes 2 Dislikes 0

There are far more characters than these two, I highly recommend this

She gets toned down, the writer took a while figuring out the right balance.

Don't worry, everyone gets worse than they deserve.

Well, in the next chapter children get ritualistically slaughtered so. Shit fucks up fast.

9 years ago | Likes 8 Dislikes 0

Well... she does, sort of. But I don't think you'll be happy about it by the time it comes around.

Shes a main character but its not solely about her

9 years ago | Likes 9 Dislikes 0

And she does develop. She really is ignorant about a lot of things, but she's also a lot more cunning than she let's on.

9 years ago | Likes 5 Dislikes 0

Yeah. After reading a few chapters, I get it.

9 years ago | Likes 3 Dislikes 0

Next chapter it goes off the deep end. From whimsical fantasy to ritual slaughter of children. Fucked up stuff.

9 years ago | Likes 32 Dislikes 0

Is she one of the slaughtered children? If not, does she at least stop being unbearable in every single panel she is in?

9 years ago | Likes 4 Dislikes 0

Sette gets far better. You are very much supposed to find her insufferable early on, I suspect.

9 years ago | Likes 3 Dislikes 0

Yeah, I'm sure it's intentional.

Great comic, but the pacing's questionable at three updates a week. Fortunately there's a mailing list to be notified when a chapter's done.

9 years ago | Likes 2 Dislikes 0

I dunno, if this was XKCD it could easily be 5 days/week, but this art is so far beyond me I'm THRILLED with 3x.

9 years ago | Likes 4 Dislikes 0

3x is very impressive for the quality of the comic; I'm not asking for more. But I found reading it as it came out to be detrimental (1/2)

9 years ago | Likes 3 Dislikes 0

(2/2) to the pacing of the story. For example, "The Deadly Nevergreen" takes place all in one night, but it came out over like seven months.

9 years ago | Likes 3 Dislikes 0

(3/2) Now I'm on the mailing list so I just read the chapters when they finish (like every six months or so >_>)

9 years ago | Likes 3 Dislikes 0

Good point. You make me think of DBZ, where something going to happen in "5 minutes". 6 episodes, later...only 3 minutes left.
