July's manga / #Isekai(79)

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.

Art is great, very beautifully drawn. There's far too few chapters out to make an accurate judgement on the quality of the story, but it seems like a typical isekai story thus far. I have no strong opinions on the female lead yet. I'm glad she finally removed that awful rouge on her cheeks though that made her look like Pikachu.

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.

It's pretty average cultivation/revenge Chinese webtoon. Art is average, story is average. Not really impressed by it so far.

Haha, I was laughing so hard when it turned out her original male love interest was in love with her male cousin. That's refreshing compared to other isekai I've read. However, the story goes stale quickly after she allies herself with the new male lead. She's too powerful and her new male love interest is showering her with gifts to show how much he loves her. I'm sorry, but that's not romantic at all. I'm bored by the developments in the recent chapters. Yawn. Art is decent, but not the best.

It's pretty hilarious, but currently slowing down in terms of plot. The art is nothing impressive, it's serviceable. The female lead is very strong and independent, but I feel there's a huge disconnect between her past life and her current life. No matter what, I don't see her as a professional assassin. The story's going for a reverse harem, and she's surrounded by ikemen. There's a lot of characters and it's easy to lose track of which characters have already been introduced. I don't like how she already slept with the Emperor even though their relationship hasn't gotten to the peak yet, and they both still have lots of secrets from each other.
