July's manga / #Romance(117)

Great humorous side stories for Noragami. Beautiful art, as always. I don't think there are any more chapters for this title, since it's a short collection.

It's a nice short side story that explains the ending of the first season of the anime. I think there's only two chapters? Beautiful art as always.

It has lots of sex scenes, and it gets boring after a while. The art is really good, except I don't like how the artist overly emphasizes the nipples through clothing, it's disgusting to me. Do women even wear bras or underclothes at all? I did like how the tables were turned in the end, where the female lead dominates her abuser, but it came out of nowhere and was poorly developed. It had potential to be better. I gave it an extra star for the nice art.

It was decent until the male lead met a priestess which sealed up his sexual energy, and then it went completely downhill. It made no sense for the old man of the Penis Rock to be the ultimate villain of this webtoon. Also, I disliked the pairing of the male and female leads, I thought they were the most vanilla pairing out of all the possible pairings that existed... Sigh. Not worth reading to the end.

Mediocre webtoon. The author tries to make a strong female protagonist, but fails miserably since she still relies too much on the Lucifer/Baal male love interest, and always needs his help. As a strong female character, you need to be independent and stand up for yourself. That concept quickly got thrown out the window. And I don't know why it's heading towards smut territory, that came out of nowhere. None of the characters are likeable and I don't care what happens to them.

Ehhhhh... One of the more decent BLs that I have read so far, but not by very much. It gets an extra star for actually trying to develop some semblance of plot instead of random smut every chapter. However, it's very slowly paced, and I'm getting bored of it, since nothing really happens. You don't really learn something new about the characters as each chapter progresses, so it's wasteful to me. I think more time could be spent developing the main cast, so you'd understand their motivations, but still, at least they tried a little bit. The male lead is an unapologetic tsundere and drives me nuts, he's extremely unlikeable and rude to everyone, including his love interest. There's no explanation as to why he does this, or his internal thoughts or conflicts, so you cannot sympathize with him, even when other characters are treating him poorly. Basically, he's getting what he deserves. Since he treats everyone like trash, he gets treated like trash in return. I don't see what the other male lead (love interest) even sees in him. The art is so inconsistent. It is very good sometimes, and then awful all the other times, super jarring to read. It should be of consistent quality throughout to make it easier on the eyes. I don't find any of the characters to be handsome/beautiful, they're all just average.

It's a little better than the average BL webtoon, but not by much. I gave it an extra star since it does have a suspenseful atmosphere, and it's building slowly towards something, rather than jumping straight into pure smut. There's some semblance of an underlying plot, and the characters are not cringey, yet. The art is only average, but it does excel when it comes to the horror nightmare scenes. I don't like how this webtoon romanticizes smoking. Smoking is bad for you, don't make it appealing... I know it's a big part of Korean culture, but it doesn't help to keep promoting it like it's a good thing.

Promotional one shot for a web novel, I believe? The cover art is beautiful, but the actual art in the webtoon is average. It doesn't really make me interested to read the novel, since if you're terminally ill, you're going to die regardless of what path you decide to choose. Also, just finishing the male love interest's sentence automatically made him like her? Please.

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.

The art isn't bad at all, I'm quite surprised! The cover art looked like one of those trashy smut webtoons, but it isn't the case so far. The story involves two actors who hate each other but need to work together to act like they're best of pals for a variety show. The female lead is not weak, and has a strong motivational drive so she knows what she wants in life. The male lead is a little pushy and domineering and I don't like him, but maybe they'll explain his behavior later on. I hope this webtoon doesn't go straight into the trash bin in the future, as these kinds of stories tend to do. Update: Finished at 77 chapters, quality declined rapidly after ten chapters and I just wanted this crap to end. Nothing important happens, male lead is still an ass, and they get happily married ever after like no one saw that coming, right?
