July's manga / #Fantasy(141)

Very average webtoon. The premise is interesting, but the plot quickly falls flat. Art slowly gets better as artist gets more comfortable with panel layouts, but it's not the best art I've seen. The female lead is dense as a brick and the male lead is unappealing. They fast forward to romance levels very quickly and it's boring. I'm tired of webtoon authors not properly developing emotions for their characters, life is not a highway, you can't just jump to the "good part". People don't fall in love so easily in real life. Honestly, I'm still bothered by the concept that red threads mean death, because in my culture, red threads are auspicious and mean fated love. It's sort of melding Asian culture with Western culture (the threads of death from ancient Greece), and I don't like it, personally. Pick one thing or the other, don't do both.

Pretty mediocre webtoon. The art is really average, and I detest the art for the female lead. Why are her eyelashes as long as her eyes are wide?? So gross! I don't like anything about her, from her looks, to her name, to her personality. It makes me wonder who the author is trying to make the readers root for. The prince is supposed to be a scheming pervert but he just seems like a stupid guy. The male love interest is as interesting as a piece of blank paper. There's no real story or plot or conflict yet. If the female lead is so powerful, why can't she fix the library by herself? Very poor writing, color me not impressed.

The art is decent, but it's difficult to understand what is happening in action sequences. It's a typical isekai with male lead focusing on cultivation. A lot of things are unexplained and sometimes the translation is not the best, so it's hard to follow the story. The male lead is not likeable and has no good standout qualities. Very average webtoon so far. Translation gets even worse after Chapter 50+. It's completely incomprehensible now.

Art is absolutely wonderful, the plot is still muddled, but vastly improved over its prequel. Hopefully, it doesn't go wildly off the rails this time. There's a romance between the female lead and the beast male character, but it's not really being developed and there are odd conflicts thrown their way that get resolved in the strangest manner possible sometimes.

As a fan of gacha mobile games myself, I totally understand the pain of collecting those rare waifus. It's pretty relatable, but I wish he would grow stronger himself as a player instead of just leaving everything to his OP waifus. He recently drew a priest, so it seems he has a complete adventuring party now. I hope the story gets more interesting besides just farming for stones for more waifus, since that would become repetitive.

I love the male lead cruising through life as an otome mob character, and building a harem as a result. This idea is pretty cool, and I enjoyed watching him screw up the original otome plot. It seems like the story is starting to slow down in recent chapters though, so perhaps the author has run out of ideas... Hopefully it picks up again soon.

This webtoon shatters the path most villainess isekai usually go on. The female lead returns as someone who won't be good, but also won't be evil, and she has the weirdest facial expressions sometimes. She becomes friends with the original heroine and it's nice to see them get along. I'm not a fan of the supporting cast though, including her maid and her werewolf butler, they're not interesting at all. Basically, the heroine is the star of the show, and everyone else is some lame 2D character with no substance. Especially Nine, who the heroine keeps randomly gushing over every chapter to make the audience fangirl over him as well. He has no personality, and almost no inner drive besides "I must serve Master", and he's too passive to do anything noteworthy. The art style changes sometimes for comedic effect, which is great, but overall, the art is so-so. I don't find any of the characters beautiful or attractive, even if other characters praise their appearance. It just fails to convince me.

Revenge villain isekai with a male lead. He's a true villain, and he kills lots of people in very dark, twisted ways. Although he previously died a horrible and tragic death, the violence of his new life is not really helping me sympathize with him. It's still a decent read, but not one of my favorites.

Very average isekai webtoon. Art and story both don't stand out very much. The female lead is somewhat plain and while I did like that the male lead didn't instantly fall for her, the change in attitude was a little too sudden for me. Some interesting points are the relationship between the female lead and the priest figure, which I liked and wanted more of; and that she tells people that she's not from their world originally, instead of keeping it a secret. But I find it unrealistic that they believe her instantly. Villain doesn't show herself soon enough, so there's a huge lack of tension and conflict. There's better isekai webtoons out there. This one is in the middle of the road, it's not bad but it's not good. Update: It's just a slogfest now. This also dragged on longer than it needs to be, like other romance isekai webtoons. They just run out of ideas and don't know what to do to pad time.

Season 1 of this webtoon was pretty good, but Season 2 is trash. I don't like any of the new characters, and I don't even like the old characters in the new season. Quality went super downhill. It's just lots of porn without plot now. Sigh. Terrible.
