The Death Brigade

Description

In a society ruled by wealth and violence, blood is paramount, and Kim Jiwon’s has never been worth more than the gutters it falls in. After two years, hundreds of fights, and not a single loss, he’s finally making a reputation for himself—but reputations only last until you lose.

Foreword

I got inspired for this after watching an episode of Love, Death, & Robots (specifically Sonnie's Edge). I'd recommend watching it if you've got 15 minutes to spare as it'll nicely set the mood for what's to come!

This is set in slightly dystopian future, where society is run on money and the fighting arena. Kids grow up idolizing fighters over musicians or actors, and violence is common place. There is a very obvious divide between the rich and the poor. Hanbin, Junhoe, and Yunhyeong all come from the rich side, while Jiwon, Donghyuk, and Chanwoo come from the poor side. Jinhwan sits in the middle, straddling the line as a newspaper reporter.

This is going to be really dark, with a lot of angsty storylines. It's the epitome of a slow burn, as feelings are going to take a very long time to develop.

I'm late to the party but just as floored by this story as everyone else. It's an exceptionally well written piece and I'm so glad I found it.

Chapter 13: No worries about the frequency of updates, this is the kind of story that stays with me, no matter how many other things I'm reading.
This chapter is filled with soft Jiwon, and I belive his situation is actually worse than Hanbins.

Chapter 12: One step foward for Jiwon and then one step back lol. I'm glad he "bargained" with Hanbin for information but then is all soft and still being manipulated by him. Also wonder what Jiyong and Youngbae think of their little head leaning moment if they are watching on the cam.

Chapter 10: I wonder what game Jiyong and Yongbae are playing with Hanbin? Everyone is playing games except for Jiwon but I wish he would too but in his current mental state that wouldn't be possible. As I have no clue how any of this could possibly play out between any of them I am very intrigued and can't wait to read more.
