I just want to rant. I know there are webtoons that are made to be amusing/entertaining the way there are webtoons made just for the feel good of it. I just wanted to say this somewhere lol this is just my opinion as well ^^

A lot of shounen isekai/regression webtoons feels like a quick dopamine supplier rather than a media you are meant to be invested in for some reason.... There are many out there that despite the repeated, common trope it has a unique take on it and an identity of it's own. However, a lot of the ones I've read with a strong start usually starts falling off in my radar not because it's uninteresting, but because the MC themselves feels like they aren't capable with forming connections with the readers as well. Yes they are strong and cool but other than that, what are we readers supposed to grab on to keep rooting for them? To keep supporting them? What's motivating them on a personal level? Like they state it by the first 3 chapters then somehow it's forgotten by the 10th chapter in favour of the idea of just being #1..... The MCs are unemotional to the point it's hard for me, as a reader, to form an emotional bond/connection with them. Even to the readers, their vulnerability is so hidden that it's hard to form a strong bond. I don't mind seeing MCs strong from the start or not being able to see them grow, but at least make them have something that makes them stand out to the reader.

While they are all cardboard cutouts at first, it's always interesting to find what makes them different from the other cardboards—you start seeing the creases and flaws and the part that makes them who they are. The intersectionality that is unique to them. But despite that, there are webtoons out there that seems to not want to break that image of the perfect MC. Like the readers/audience is the same as ghe 'mob' or 'extras' in the story itself that 'doesn't' deserve to see the MCs special side. By 50 chapters, the MC is still basic and can be muddled with other MCs.

Anyways I will still try to read these webtoons anyways because I believe that stories/books shouldn't be given a proper review unless you have finished the entirety of it (since that's how book reading goes).

Asking out of curiosity, but are there any romance isekai where the mc becomes friends/good friends with the original mc?
