July's manga / #Fantasy(145)

Female lead is isekai'd to a novel world where she's the villainess, but instead of going down that path, she decides she'll do her best to survive, blah blah. Typical villainess isekai storyline. There's some lore about the goddess and the Chosen One, but it's not a strong focus at this point. The main thing is that it's not her, it's a red-haired girl who's destined to be the savior, and the female lead will die trying to kill her, according to the novel. It's very average so far in terms of the story, there's nothing special about it. The art is ok, about slightly above average for shoujo fantasy webtoons. There's definitely some shortcuts and change in art quality in the panels, if they're not focused on the main characters. Update: I think it's finished at 70 chapters. Not much happens from beginning to end, so if you're looking for something good, skip this one. Basically, all the good guys get their happy endings, the bad guys are banished, and all is well. No one dies, since this story had zero stakes from the beginning.

Creepy cat is so cute, I want one too! It has magical powers and can transform, teleport, and change sizes. The plotline with Flora's workbook is a little meh though, it doesn't really make much sense, and it's a different direction than all the previous chapters. Hope it resolves soon to bring more creepy cat goodness.

No idea what is going on from the first chapter. They fight over the use of the cultivation room, and the male lead is bemoaning the fact he's not as strong as he could be because of a limiter seal on his palm. Nothing is properly introduced and it just throws readers blindly into the senseless story. Art is slightly below average for a webtoon.

The first chapter is so weird, the male lead randomly isekai'd to a new world while he was fighting a caterpillar, and then decides to learn magic, just because he can. The way he reacts to his new life is so abnormal, and his goals don't even make sense. Why is he so obsessed with learning magic? We don't know. Why doesn't he try finding a way back to his own world? He acts like the isekai didn't impact his life at all, and he just does whatever he pleases without any real goal in mind. The art is alright for the manga level of art, which is usually higher than webtoon art quality.

I really like the look of this webtoon. It uses very clean and bold lines, and an eye-pleasing color palette that's suitable for this genre. The introduction is easy to understand and you want to read more. Hoping for good things from this webtoon.

So far, this manga is not impressing me. It tries to make the female lead unique by establishing her as a delinquent in her previous life, but after she isekai'd, she's just like any typical shoujo protagonist. She's also super dumb, and she's not as strong as she thinks she is. I have no idea why all the guys are falling for her, since she's so unappealing as a woman. The art is so-so, usually shoujo-type manga look more beautiful than this.

This is one of the weirdest webtoons I've seen so far. There's no plot, but there's a bunch of somewhat interesting random lore and stuff which seems so out of place, because at its core, this is a cross between A Little Mermaid and BL. The art is awful. It might be intentional though, since the artist is drawing inspiration from Japanese woodcarvings, but it's incredibly unappealing to look at. The strange ideas that haven't been fully executed are unique. I don't like the relationship between the fisherman and the merman, not sure if it will get better, but I don't have high hopes for it. Update: Latest chapter turned into a weird history lecture for no reason. I understand the author is trying to educate readers, but it's so out of place with the previous chapters that it just doesn't belong here. Maybe if the two characters had started off getting to know each other before the smut, it would have worked. And the rape was just brushed off so casually. Priorities!

Hey, this is somewhat like Inuyasha but reversed, if Inuyasha had isekai'd to Kagome's world instead. A gaming obsessed girl finds a male NPC from a historical RPG game entering her life in the middle of the night, and tries to find a way for him to return back to his world. It's funny sometimes, since the male NPC guy is clueless about the modern world he's now in. He also has abilities like flying and sword-wielding. I hope this will be good, since it's interesting so far. I doubt it will be on the same grand fantasy scale as Inuyasha though, since the modern world is boring. The art is average for webtoon level.

I didn't expect much from this BL webtoon, but it's actually better than most BL I've read. The art is very nice, especially the character designs and the backgrounds. I am not fond of the color palette that was used though. A man living in the mountains meets an animal that transformed into a man, and plans to get him to fall for him through his stomach, feeding him delicious food everyday. But the only thing he doesn't know is that the animal man was the deer he hated so much for eating his crops, and he had thought that it was a tiger because of the fangs. It's impossible for a deer to have fangs though, so I'm scratching my head on that as well.

Really interesting webtoon with a light BL touch. There's a lot of interesting lore about ESP with a touch of mystery about what everyone's relationship with the dead twin brother of the male lead is. It's suspenseful enough to keep readers wanting more. The art is definitely above average, and the close up shots of the characters's faces are beautiful. Update: It degenerates very quickly to very poor writing, with lots of in-your-face hints dropping everywhere, but I don't know anything about what's happening to care. Romance is skipped for sex that was also skipped, so what's the point? Male lead is an idiot who knows the person he's with is a manipulative liar, and still sleeps with him. Art quality has gone down from earlier chapters. Sigh. Also what is with this author and names? Edith is apparently a guy, and Alec is apparently a girl. What the heck?
