July's Manga

Poorly written BL with terrible understanding of the culinary world (which is the backdrop of this, but I guess it doesn't matter since a majority of BLs have never attempted to be accurate). The main characters work in a Chinese restaurant in Korea but the author doesn't know anything about Chinese food. At all. And the soulmate plot was super predictable, anyone can see it coming from a mile away. The only good thing about this was the art. I liked the warm colors and solid lines, which made it easy on the eyes. Smut scenes are a bit lacking though, it's just standard typical fare.

I liked this more than Painter of the Night before in the early chapters, but just like the other BL webtoom, the quality of this one has gone completely downhill in terms of the storyline and smut. It's become super repetitive and boring, and it's clear the author is just milking money at this point with the modern day plotline.

This is terribly written period BL. It is clichéd and has a very predictable plot. I'm fairly certain that the main character will end up falling for the guy he supposedly wants to kill, and they will live happily ever after. That, or he decides that revenge is sweeter, and either one of them or both of them end up dead. There's not many ways this story can develop, as this is a BL webtoon. There is no room to expand on the universe of the story as it is severely limited by the nature of its genre. The art is alright, but I actually like Painter of the Night's style the best out of all these historical setting BLs. Although I don't particularly care for that series' storyline either. It went downhill pretty fast, just like this one undoubtedly will.

For some reason, this is a duplicate entry under the name "Secret Sweetheart," but this entry has more chapters. It's an adaptation of the CDrama called "Well- Intended Love" but not a direct one. It mostly follows what happened in Season 1, with some changes that make it worse. I would recommend watching the drama over reading this, but be aware that the drama has lots of issues with plot and subject matter (abusive or manipulative relationships). However, it's so bad that you kinda want to keep watching, like a trainwreck ready to happen. Anyway, the webtoon doesn't have the same excitement, a lot of the side characters are demoted to even lesser roles, and the comedy is reduced as well. The art is alright, but not the greatest. Translation is a bit iffy, but you can get the general idea of what's going on. Past Chapter 100, the webtoon started to make no sense because the plot went out the window.

Very similar to "True Beauty," even the art style with the overemphasis on the eyes and the YouTuber main character. However, Jiu is a better protagonist than Jugyeong, and she shows growth as the chapters progress. She has clear goals and motivations, she is able to spot problematic issues in her relationships, and she responds more like a real person. However, since it's a shoujo webtoon, she still has her moments of dumb heroine-isms, like breaking all contact with her love interests over some minor plot issue, only to jump back into the relationship a few chapters later. The two male love interests are horrible, but I guess the younger one is less offensive. The art is clean and solid, and the panels are consistent in quality, as well as easy to read. Extremely bingeable, I could read it all in one sitting.

A girl finds herself as the sister of the male lead in a BL game, and she decides to swap places with her brother to prevent him from triggering the bad endings. This shoujo webtoon isn't bad, and I liked seeing her act in unconventional ways. So far, there isn't much romance going on, which is a plus for me. I don't like like how the brother got married and already has a child though, that seemed really rushed and it didn't mesh well with the rest of the story. Seems like the author didn't know what to do with the minor side character of her brother, so they just made up an excuse to take him out of the big picture. The art is not that good, especially in regards to character line work, which is overly simplistic and rather lacking in details. But it's sufficient enough to get the main point across, and action scenes are clear from clutter and understandable.

It's not particularly funny, and I don't care for the animal puns in every page, but it is still interesting with its developments. I like how relatable Kanako is, and the juxtaposition of her clumsiness and awkwardness with her insane ability to kill so well is funny in itself. It seems like there's been no more new chapters for a while now, seems like we will have to wait for the licensed version to catch up. The art is simplistic with the same bold color palette used throughout, so it's consistent, but not visually impressive.

Mediocre BL with rape smut. Follows every cliche in hentai, with the instant mindbreak of initial resistance to loving the forced sex with a flip of the switch. Nothing creative or imaginative, everything's been done before. And this doesn't even do it well. The smut scenes are boring and uninspired, and there was barely any tentacle sex here. Lame.

Not sure why they're making side stories for this because the original storyline was basically wrapped up already. It's about the son of the main characters, and I guess explores his romance with another boy his age or something, kind of like Blood Link? Dunno if this is an actual new season or just a long side story. Either way, it's boring and clearly an attempt to milk more money for this series.

Somewhat inferior to the Warrior's Adventure, but this series is probably the second best of Ppatta's works. I can tell they like to abuse the Dark Sorcerer character nearly as much as the Warrior character. Hopefully there will be more episodes. Great art and weirdness as always.
