ReviewRaptor's manga / #DO NOT READ(110)

Duchess of the Glass House

Ongoing | 공기알 | 2021 released

I'm really starting to get tired of these types of webtoons. It's not the story, it's the fact that someone picked up this novel and tried to turn it into a comic all while leaving out MAJOR parts and important hints as to what is backstory, what is current timeline and what makes a story immersive anyway. If you need a text page of sentences that explains wtf is going on: You're doing a shit job. People, if you cannot put in the time and effort (and DON'T KNOW how to turn text into comic format) then please for the sake of anything ever holy: Do not do it. This is neither a nice read nor does it make me want to read the novel, if anything, it pretty much makes me stay clear of it if I would suspect that THIS is what the contents and skill level in terms of writing would be what awaits me... Granted the plot is really...dumb. I mean, the author could have put some logical thinking into the reason as to why the girl is hated. How the flying purple fuck is she supposed to be resonsible for her mother's death if she wasn't the one to make the horses freak or manipulate the carriage?? WTF. (Unless it was the comic team that decided to change this part to how dumb it now is, which I've seen people do before, for some fucking reason.) Either way, the plot is not interesting enough nor is the execution of it being turned into a comic in any way pleasant. I've lost all interest and a lot of patience with this. I'm out. Enjoy if you can endure this lackluster, hole-filled storytelling. But I'm not gonna bother with this shit.

Beware of the Villainess!

Ongoing | 뽕따맛스크류바,푸른칸나,Bbongdda mask ,Pureunkanna | 2019 released

The art is lovely but that's about it. The MC has SUCH an obnoxious personality, wtf. The story seems to have some heavy feminazi tendencies because the male characters have literally only the vibes of: man bad, so man do random things that come across as trigger points for anyone that wants to find something to be angry at. There is so little logic to all of this that it baffles me tbh. And the fun thing is: Instead of being the nice person she SUPPOSEDLY WAS IN HER PREVIOUS LIFE, she acts like a dam fuckwit right about any second. What the actual hell. Wasn't the goal to NOT act like a villainess? Then why verbally attack your own father and brother as well as the crown prince (who seems to have the spine of an eel and the authority of a worm as well as the awareness of one..). This is a clusterfuck at best. The writing is bad and random at many times and the characters are nearly all obnoxious as hell. I'll nope the fuck outta this one, this is just unbearable unless you're one of those that think a female acting like a shithead towards males is 'good writing of a strong female lead' (words which have lost all meaning on this website by now for sure btw). I'm out. This was such a waste of time. FFS.

Down and Dirty

Complete | John | 2000 released

Haven't read such degenerate shit in a while. :) I really hate the MC and his 'love interest'. I can get into plots with sadistic semes and uke's that don't mind degrading themselves for their love interest, but this is just fucked up bullshit. They can try to turn this 'wholesome' later on, but both are still fucked up pieces of mental issues and heaps of trash. Fuck this. It's not worth reading considering how minimal and unimportant the 'reward' for the entire borderline rape bullshit is.

Struggle

Complete | 김닌자 | 2000 released

The only struggle here is me reading this shit. wtf. The story is lackluster by picture perfect sefinition. Everything, from the start, feels little to not thought out and things happen more for convenience (especially character actions/interactions/reactions) and that's just the shittiest writing 'method' to use to create anything. And as early as chapter 8, things fall apart entirely. Things feel more like a roguh summary someone drew pictures for rather than a cohesive story. It's a struggle to read. And a bigger struggle to keep being interested. I'll skip through the pages and see what the omega deals with during pregnancy and how they reunite again (and yay for the 'surprise, you're actually an omega despite never showing such signs!' trope btw, that's idiotic af (and gotta LOVE people in omegaverse being too retarded to make actually useful tests to determine gender, but I digress)). But yeah, this is unreadable. Not even a little. It's just badly written and the art isn't saving it.

The Essence Of A Perfect Marriage

Ongoing | 영, 이범배,제리볼,jeribol, lee bumbae, yeong | 2019 released

Okay, at chapter 4 I'm really questioning whether it's the translation or really just the writing that makes this feel so bumpy, jumpy and a bit too rushed. The introduction of the marriage partner was lackluster either way, but I'm starting to wonder if this'll be worth bothering with any further... Conclusion: At chapter 7 I can confidentally say it's both. the translations suck AND the writing. Waste of time, really.

Sadistic Beauty BL Sidestory

Complete | Lee Geumsan | 2000 released

A Near-Death experience is a cry for love

Ongoing | Isono funa | 2019 released

The plot is interesting but...sadly the execution is bad. It's rushed and skips some key events that need to be there for good storytelling or even just a flowing story and the reasoning of characters is all over the place and just used to create drama or the next happening of some sort. It's really...not good in terms of writing. It feels more like a half-assed attempt at re-telling a novel in minimalistic comic format rather than a fleshed out comic. And that's just not fun to read. If you're looking for jack-off material, sure, this works. But if you want a flowing story with good...anything, this isn't it. Dropped at: ch. 8

Cold Rain Of Happiness

Ongoing | HIBAKICHI | 2006 released

Engraved On You

Complete | Kira | 2019 released

This makes as much sense as sprinkling gold dust over horseshit and saying bone apple tea. WTF did i waste my time for?? And WTF is the artist wasting their talent on this for?? So many questions, such an abyssmal chance to recieve any answers. Spare yourself the read. There's literally nothing here. No story, no character, half a fucking maybe but that's about it. Skip through it for the pretty art, but don't bother looking for anything else. Seriously.
