It's My Baby!

Complete | Sailor | 2019 released

This is a good example of one of those webtoons based on the concept of drama for drama's sake just so the story can be longer. And why the hell do all these webtoons skip from the moment the person gets pregnant up to the point where the kid is several years old!? WTF?? You basically cut of a very crucial, character building and empathy building part just to get on with the story. It's annoying and makes things boring tbh. And more often than not: it makes your work predictable as can be if you use that 'mEcHaNiC' while writing. This is a halfassed story tbh. It's a plot we've seen multiple times, does nothing new and the few things that are of substance are boring and lackluster. It's a page-flicker at best but not even that is enjoyable. Not recommended, at all. Better look for another story that uses this exact plot and I'm sure you can indeed find a good one that's somewhat enjoyable to read.

Locked Onto You

Ongoing | Lee dala, Jeong Hyejin, Ganga | 2022 released

The characters behave random sometimes, the storytelling is rushed and lacks detail when needed and the overall vibes this gives is 'halfassed'. The dude supposedly looks like another dude, but even the girl that had a cruch on said other dude doesn't even mention it. The mYsTeRiOuS secret can be seen from a mile away and the characters are just too bland to make this interesting. Neither the story nor the chars are interesting tbh. The story itself is one of the most bland and boring plots I've seen in ages. Even the most cliche and predictable shoujo highschool romance has more oomph to it. WTF.

The Father and the Daughter

Ongoing | | 2022 released

I'll make it short, so you don't waste as much time as I did reading this: - the MC is heavily dislikable and quite frankly stupid from chapter 1 already (feels often very Mary Sue-ish tbh) - the writing is nothing special and does a bad job many times - the shittily used trope of the mentally ill father is, yet again, seemingly only used to make him the hate-able male figure - the pace is odd - the character logic idiotic more often than not (also from the very start) - some stuff is not quite making sense (not sure if that is due to this being based on a novel and comic adaptors just cutting stuff away as they please) I honestly couldn't care less about this and the MC alone is reason enough for me to heavily dislike this. She's got no appeal other than being drawn pretty. That's literally it. And that's just not a good basis for a story. Give it a try. If you have seen these types of plots before, you are likely not gonna see anything new. If you haven't and you don't mind the issues I found or have lower standards than me in some of these things, you might find this enjoyable to read. it depends on the person.
