Description
Due to a friend’s betrayal, Yang Yohan ends up in the worst dungeon of all, the Abyss. In this monster-infested dungeon, Yohan encounters Lee Hyunmook, once considered the strongest Awakened in Korea, who had gone missing in the Abyss years ago. “Mr. Lee Hyunmook, please don’t kill me, okay? I’m human…” “Human…” “Yes, I’m human… and so are you, Mr. Lee Hyunmook.” However, Lee Hyunmuk has been half-driven mad by the influence of the Abyss. Yohan struggles to survive alongside him, tending to wounds and foraging for food, during the rare moments when Hyunmook regains his sanity. “Every few decades, a certain phenomenon occurs here. And I call it a ‘Flood.’” “A Flood?” “The closer the Flood gets, the worse the contamination and madness become… just like how I was moments ago.” But when an unexpected Flood strikes, Hyunmook loses his mind completely… “You’re a sheep, so why don’t you cry?” “I-I’m not a sheep, I’m Yang Yohan…” “My little sheep.” A brutal environment, a festering wound on one leg, terrifying monsters howling as they attack, and now the erratic behavior of a deranged Hyunmook… Thus begins Yohan’s tear-filled escape from another world!

My Thoughts on Follow the Sheep into the Abyss
"Follow the Sheep into the Abyss" is a novel that genuinely surprised me. Going in, I anticipated a dark fantasy with a yaoi romance, but what I found was a gripping blend of horror, adventure, and unexpectedly wholesome moments. This is a story that pulls you in and doesn't let go, even amidst the grotesque and terrifying backdrop of the Abyss.
First Impressions
Initially, I was struck by the fast-paced nature of the story. It throws you right into the Abyss alongside Yohan, our main character, and there's little time to catch your breath. However, the pacing feels natural, allowing for character development and world-building to unfold organically. The premise itself is unique: a civilian trapped in a hellish dimension meets a corrupted team leader, and together they navigate a world of monstrous creatures and decaying sanity.
What Works Well
The world-building is a standout feature. The Abyss is vividly depicted as a truly horrifying place, with creative and unsettling monsters. The author masterfully reveals details piece by piece, avoiding info dumps and keeping the sense of mystery alive. I also appreciated the complex family relationships that emerge as the story progresses, adding depth to the characters' motivations.
The romance between Yohan and Hyunmook is another high point. Despite the ML's initial "off his rocker" state, their connection feels genuine and sweet. It's refreshing to see a relationship where the love interest isn't a typical possessive yandere, and where communication and consent are prioritized. The side characters also contribute to the story's charm, creating a found-family dynamic that provides warmth amidst the darkness.
Areas of Concern
While I enjoyed Yohan as a character, I can see why some might find him less compelling. He's undeniably a crybaby, and his initial reactions to the Abyss can feel a bit over the top. However, I think his vulnerability is understandable given the circumstances, and he does show growth throughout the story, becoming more courageous and determined.

Overall, "Follow the Sheep into the Abyss" is a captivating read that I highly recommend. It masterfully blends horror and romance, creating a unique and unforgettable story. Despite some minor flaws, the engaging plot, well-developed characters, and immersive world-building make this novel a true gem. If you can stomach the gore and horror, you're in for a wild and rewarding ride.
