July's manga / #Shoujo(111)

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.

Pretty mediocre webtoon. The art is really average, and I detest the art for the female lead. Why are her eyelashes as long as her eyes are wide?? So gross! I don't like anything about her, from her looks, to her name, to her personality. It makes me wonder who the author is trying to make the readers root for. The prince is supposed to be a scheming pervert but he just seems like a stupid guy. The male love interest is as interesting as a piece of blank paper. There's no real story or plot or conflict yet. If the female lead is so powerful, why can't she fix the library by herself? Very poor writing, color me not impressed.

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 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.

It's not bad so far, but updates are slow so sometimes I forget what I last read. Not much has happened so far, and there isn't any real conflict yet. Art is nice to look at. Update: I read this was dropped by the artist, and there's a remake by another person, so I'm marking this as complete.

It's an interesting twist on isekai genre, with two people being reborn into new bodies instead of just one. However, the story suffers since it focuses mainly on the girl twin. Pacing is very slow so far. The two twins don't have much distinguishable personalities due to splitting of the main roles. Art is decent but not impressive. Changing my rating to 2 stars because literally everyone in this webtoon is so dumb, like a sack of bricks. Everything could be resolved if people just communicate! And the twins are not mentally their supposed age, they act exactly like how small children act.

The beginning of this manga was really good, and the female lead was both likeable and relatable. As the series went on, she just became kind of stupid and intolerable. It went seriously downhill after the arc where she had to be Ren's fake sister who had a bro-con complex with him. That was so dumb and not salvageable at that point. At least Ren finally admitted his feelings for her. Honestly, I like her interaction with Shou more than with Ren. It's more natural and organic, while with Ren it's uncomfortable and forced. I enjoyed the sections where she prepared for acting jobs but the author has stopped showing those bits of her life, what a letdown...

The art is good, I love how distinctive the female lead looks. Her adopted family is awful, but I don't really sense the emotional and mental anguish from her. I do feel somewhat sorry for her, but the author hasn't made me empathize with her. Her male interest was introduced far too early, so the webtoon is probably going to focus on their romance...meh. I don't like the pairing very much so far. The tombstone hunt sounds boring to me. We'll see where this goes...I'll probably end up docking more stars off though. Yup, I'm docking another star off because the interaction between the protagonist and the male lead is so dull and uninspiring, it's neither romantic nor suspenseful, and it's already dragged this out for a couple chapters now.

Beautiful art, gut-wrenching story filled with tears. Although the female lead grew up somewhat, it's not to the point where the story becomes flat because the author wants to pursue romance over family tragedy and drama. She's still not in good terms with her father, and she's gone backwards in this familial relationship, instead of forward. Please keep bringing the pain and tears~

The first half of the story was very touching, but the main lead grew up too fast and became overpowered. It no longer focuses on the interaction between her and her new family, and it's quickly leaning towards a romance between her and her first knight... For that, I'll be docking a star. Update: It's getting too melodramatic. I don't like this webtoon anymore. Too much weeping and whining and nothing happening.
