I thought the concept of this story was super interesting. A curse means people cannot die until they find their soulmate, but killing your soulmate means living forever. I think I would also really enjoy reading this in literary form to understand more of the world building and character development.

My favorite thing about this story was that your soulmate doesn't necessarily need to be in a lover and that true love can be found in any form. Being vulnerable is hard but can also lead you to finding the greatest love story. The story overall was very wholesome in its message.

While the illustration was very detailed and beautiful, I found it to be just a tad overly graphic. By no means did it detract from the story, it just was a bit much for me.

Overall, the plot and message wrapped up well in the end and I was satisfied with where the characters ended up. For a short graphic novel, the characters go through a large development and I was quite pleased with the pacing.

Thank you, Legendary Comics, for providing me with an ARC in exchange for an honest review!

I did not dislike Heart Hunter. I thought the concept and plot are very interesting, and I liked the several side characters, but I didn't connect to the main character, Pysche, very well. I also think the ending felt wishy-washy, and part of me still doesn't completely understand how the curse got lifted. The artist is very talented. Some of the art I really liked and others I didn't.

Overall, I don't think the graphic novel fits in my personal taste. The concept was great, but something about the execution didn't jive with me. I'd rate it 3.5 stars.

The writing is poor and full of contradictions it is impossible to follow. Shame coz it sounded interesting and the art looked cool.

I liked the art style and the color palettes, and I LOVED the concept of the story. The analogy was a bit in-your-face, but there was a certain charm to it because of that. Unfortunately, the execution of the story didn’t work for me. I was much more interested in the worldbuilding/culture than I was in the actual story, and I preferred the setup to any of the actual character storylines. We got this whole tragic backstory for our main protagonist, but I never felt connected to it at all. There were also a few things that happened in the plot (like characters, for no apparent reason, agreeing to do things they didn’t want to do) that needed more explaining for me to believe it.

The beginning of this was set up beautifully, I felt the whole idea behind this story was very promising ... but then we met the characters and I fell out of love. The biggest issue with this was the lack of personality and the lack of development in the majority of the characters - especially those at the forefront of the story.

I did enjoy the art style for the better part of this, but some parts didn't feel as worked on as others, and then there were long portions of text that took you out of the story. I tend to like my graphic novels to have more action and less text, as I feel they really show the story better that way.

Overall this was just alright, the whole idea is very unique and interesting, but the execution and content within needed to be worked on a lot more for me to really enjoy this.
