July's manga / #Isekai(79)

The art is truly beautiful, and the first half of the story really tugged at the heartstrings and made me cry. However, the male lead aged too fast to bring him to a romance-able age for the female lead, and now it's slowly getting boring. That's why I docked a star off. These types of webtoons always focus on ageing the protagonists too fast to get to the "juicy" romance, but it's a turnoff for me. I like a slow burn. Update: It just sucks now. Please kill it off quickly. Even the art quality dropped a lot from the beginning. Also the translations are not good.

The art is ok, not the best art I've seen. I like the male lead slowly falling for the female lead, but I don't like how the original heroine is turning evil. A lot of villain isekai ends up with the hero becoming the villain and vice versa, so I thought this webtoon would break the trend because it wasn't like that in the beginning, but unfortunately it seems to fail my expectations.

The female protagonist is so BOSS and can pwn everyone she comes across haha. I liked how the author made her fall back down and struggle again, but she easily overcomes her obstacles. There isn't really much character development, but I love its humor and watching the female lead's ridiculous antics.

This is on par with Feng Qi Cang Lan, although I would say the art in GCS is better. The two webtoons share a very strong female protagonist, who can accomplish anything they put their minds to. Unlike FQCL, GCS's lead hasn't struggled or fallen down yet. The story goes downhill after the Desert King arc though. The author seems to be trying to mix things up so her missions are different, but honestly, watching her make guys fall for her was the best part of the webtoon. The Venice arc was utterly garbage, and I thought the lead suddenly changed in personality. She's back to playing mind games with two guys in the Ghost arc but it's just not the same as before. Hopefully, the author finds their groove back to make this exciting and interesting again. Docking off a star due to the declining quality of recent chapters. Ugh, the cultivation arc is by far the worst arc yet, please go back to a simpler set-up.

Another strong female lead such as found in Feng Qi Cang Lan and Goddess Creation System, but this female lead is actually in love with a male lead, unlike the other two webtoons. This is a detriment to me, since I don't believe that strong females necessarily need a male to back them up, and this female lead is probably the strongest out of the three females from the three webtoons. She's smart, cunning, and well-versed in medical and martial arts. But she still always needs to be saved by her male lead... The story has a lot of inappropriate content, so may not be for everyone. Also, everyone talks A LOT. Literally, there's more speech bubbles than there is art. The art is great, it reminds me of watercolor paintings. Not something to read in one sitting.

One of the first manga I've ever read, it's still a classic. Inuyasha is a great character and his love triangle with Kagome and Kikyo was well-done. I'm a sucker for the "a group of companions go on a quest to accomplish something" type stories. Definitely worth several read-throughs!

Another promotional one shot for a web novel, I believe. The art is average, and I don't feel like reading the rest of it in novel form. She's reincarnated into the villainess's right hand woman, but attracts the attention of the crown prince somehow. Not that creative, but it doesn't grab me or excite me in any way.

I really like this twist on the isekai genre where the main character is not the one who was reborn, but her male love interest is the protagonist, and he's observing her as she grows. As first, the prince treats her as an amusing plaything, but he comes to realize that it is more than that. I like the slow buildup since it's realistic, instead of insta-love you see in most romance isekai stories. Hoping for more great chapters~

Art is poor, most people are drawn in lazy chibi style with little detail. Protagonist and male love interest are rather ugly, despite attempts to make them look pretty or handsome, they're not, due to lack of skill in art. Plot is bland and not compelling, she's reading a book about her future and she dies, then has a do-over like other villainess isekai, but she doesn't seem to have a strong goal in mind. She treats her step-family like trash with the excuse that they treated her like trash, but doesn't do so in way that is sympathetic to the reader, nor witty nor brutal enough to be memorable. It's all quite petty. Since the set-up is weak, I won't hold my breath thinking this will get better as time goes on.

Cover art is beautiful, actual art is not as good, but still above average compared to other webtoons. Coloring is pleasing to the eye and pretty to look at, but panelling is poor, so I cannot tell what is happening in the story. Too much excessive use of close-ups of faces and the upper body, which is why the panel layouts are weak, due to lack of background elements. Basically, imagine watching a movie where you only see the actor's 1/3 of the body, and nothing else. It just jumps from one point to another point too fast and makes no sense. Maybe because it is a promo, it tries to cram too much into one chapter. Lack of transitions and explanatory dialogue makes it difficult to process storyline. I'm not a fan of this so far. It doesn't really stand out amongst other isekai works.
