Good Question!

Almost Everyone knows here that Elena Evoy Observation Diary is heavily inspired by the manga Last Game. There are so many obvious similarities, if you read the manga first and then this webtoon/manwah.
(Is possible that "manwah" doesn't exist anymore and it is being fully replaced by South Korean webtoon media?)
Does it actually count as a cheap rip off or plagiarism? Yes, No and Why?
Many characters are different from the original story but Elena is basically the same as Mikoto Kujō while Jonathan is a more good looking + kinder + tortured version of Naoto Yanagi.

    I just read the spoilers about Elena's father death and why Jonathan's father mistreat him... I really hope the spoilers are false but by looks of it Fantasy Korean or Japanese novels dramas often have secret conspiracies, too forgiving FLs and toxic tsundere cruel fathers...
    Maybe there is a great pay off or justice at the end of Elena's story...
    I am quite annoyed by their logic!

    omg i didn't think of that until you said it. I was actually thinking of SpecialA! The way he get interested after being the best all his life and then getting his ego injured after his first loss. Doen't it remind you of Kei???

    wait damn I'm getting my mangas mixed up. I read both such a long time ago. An oldie but a goodie. nvm that plot line was definitely last game. SpecialA was the other way around with the girl trying to beat the guy while the guy fell for the girl. OMG T.T they don't make mangas like that anymore. I'm so sad. It was such a good read

    Special A had more simiarity with Kaichou Wa Maid-sama.
    No matter how strong, smart or hard working the FL is, the priveledged talented superior tsundere ML is always the winner who can overpower and rescue her WITH EASE.
    It is quite sexist, immature, absurd and stupid.
    I ve never understood why so many shipped these two: the bored teasing heir and the struggling men hating maid (Kaichou Wa Maid-sama). Their love began with deceit, blackmail and stalking from the ML.
