July's Manga

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.
