STAY ALIVE One day, Zeha wakes up in a hospital with no memory of how he got there. Retracing his steps, he stumbles upon a terrible truth―the city is under attack by otherworldly monsters called the Beom, and at the center of it all is Zeha himself! But thankfully, he does not stand alone. He soon crosses paths with other young men he feels a mysterious connection to. The seven hunters, seemingly brought together by fate, vow to fight to their last breaths, but as the battle grows more and more desperate, they begin to realize the Beom invasion was just the tip of the iceberg… The global K-pop phenomenon BTS gets reimagined as seven brave hunters, but their message of hope remains the same! Read the full story of Team Chakho’s monster-hunting adventure combined into one breathtaking hardcover novel, featuring exclusive photos of the members as their charismatic alter egos!
This was surprisingly fun - a solid paranormal action piece. Did I undoubtedly miss a lot because I'm not ARMY? Absolutely. But that just means that BTS fans will probably like it even more.
First off, the book is beautiful, all the photos of BTS inside it are truly stunning. I do like the story, the idea is really cool and interesting. It’s also perfectly themed for reading in October aka spooky month. Unfortunately it falls a bit flat in execution. I don’t know if it’s because of the translation, or because it has been adapted from a comic/graphic novels, but the writing style is sometimes cringey and the sentences are often too easy, like basic level, even though the subject is far from something kids should read. That’s why I’m giving it a bit of a lower rating, even so I still did enjoy reading it.
