July's manga / #Webtoon(264)

The art is quite good in this webtoon, it's above average for me. I like the look of the female lead, she's very distinctive. She's very smart and strong, and isn't easily fooled by scheming officials. I'm looking forward to seeing more of her. I only wish they did a better job depicting her as an actual person, rather than some revered object who rules the country, since I don't have a good sense of her personality, or her emotional connections. There's not much to show her inner thoughts, so it's hard to follow her character. It's funny they say women can't rule because they're too emotional, but I actually think she lacks emotion.

It's alright. Art is average, not great. Female lead randomly has two dots on her face that bother me. Personality is rather boring, I know she is a child but there's nothing worth investing emotionally in her at the moment. Not much plot or conflict yet.

It's pretty interesting so far, a man is isekai'd to the world of a novel he was reading before he fell asleep. He's a minor villain in the novel, and he's striving to live a peaceful life with as little conflict as possible. I think he seems more intelligent than other male leads in the isekai genre, so I'm curious what will happen next. The art is not bad, I really like the look of the male lead character.

I'm a little confused about what is happening, is this an isekai or not? It seems she knows things about the future, or is it based on rumours she has heard? It's a little unclear about that. The art is quite beautiful, but I don't like the look of the characters. They're just not good-looking to me. The female lead is too weak, and it's hitting the readers over the head with how scared she is, but it's rather unrealistic in my opinion. She thinks too much and acts too little. There are problems with the way her weakness is being conveyed. She doesn't attempt to change or improve her situation. The male lead is almost borderline abusive, and he swears way too much. He doesn't attempt to understand her or why she's so scared, and they just assume stuff about each other instead of properly communicating. Hopefully it gets better from here. Update: This webtoon is just terrible. Every chapter is the same. The female lead is anxious and worried, and internally whining about how she's not a good match for the male love interest, and the male love interest is all horny and they have sex. There's no development, and no conflict. All the servants love her, even when she's thinking that they hate her, blah blah. So ridiculous. She doesn't try to improve herself, not even one bit. I'm okay with weak heroines, but they need to show desire for growth and change, and she's not exhibiting it at all. Instead of just sitting on your butt, why don't you improve yourself? Also, there are speech therapists that can help fix or make the stutter less. I know because I know someone in real life who stutters. This is seriously just using something very real to an ill, cheap effect for dramatic purposes, and it's insulting.

The art is beautiful, but the translation does not do the story justice. Nothing so far makes any sense, and it's a waste of the the art. The manhua looks like a Chinese comic book, with the thick lines and bold colors. The story has no substance, and is meaningless. What a pity. The male lead is not properly introduced, and we know nothing about his motivations or ambitions, it's just a lot of empty talking. It seems like he had a redo of his old life, but sometimes he himself forgets about everything in his old life, when he should remember to successfully redo this life. Also, it's weird that he's so clueless about important things that he should have remembered if he already live through all of this before. There's nothing worth reading here at the moment, but maybe it will improve in the future?

Isekai x wine making x magic/cultivation type webtoon. Fairly standard so far, but there's only two chapters, so not much to judge by. Art is ok, but not the best. I'm not that impressed by this.

Webtoon where a girl who's abused by her parents gets discovered by a man in a goblin mask. Art is quite good, but I am not too fond of the plot right now. It doesn't make sense why the prince would take interest in her, and help her out of her current situation. We'll have to see if it gets better, but I feel like the art is wasted on this bad story so far. Update: Lore is utter nonsense about twins and goblins, sort of like changelings but slightly different. Each chapter is a waste of time to read. Just the two main characters being sickly lovey-dovey to each other, and nothing else happening. Update #2: Well, that escalated quickly in the end. Made no sense, and characters didn't earn their happy ending.

Kyuu is the best cat ever. This webtoon makes me want to own a cat. Super cute and heart-warming. Even better than Chi's Sweet Home.

The art is really good, and the paneling as well. I'm not getting a good feel of the characters right now, so I will adjust ratings as needed when more chapters are released. I like the ruthlessness of the sultan and I hope it's not just some cheap trick to make him seem mean for no reason, while he's nice to the female lead in a fake forced contrast. Will keep my eyes posted for more. Update: The female lead is an idiot, and the male love interest sultan guy is always saving her. Leaves a bad taste in my mouth. And it's creepy that he is in love with his father's concubine, even if they didn't sleep together. It's also the whole reason why he rebelled and killed all his siblings in the first place too. Really? Love over everything? It's just so cliche. They don't even really love each other...That's just what they want readers to feel, but I'm not fooled. Not much happens, they have some more sex, then she magically became more assertive, and boom, the end. Meh.

This webtoon is all style and no substance. It doesn't do a good job establishing who the characters are, or what is even going on. Pacing is too fast without coherent flow. The art style is black & white Gothic but too messy to make out what is happening in the panels. I think this webtoon had potential, but it just fails to live up to it. All I got out of this is that there's a serial killer and a pedophile priest, and they have some history together. Bleh. Don't get me wrong, I love super dark stories, but there's no actual story in this.
