July's manga / #Webtoon(264)

Crimson snow

This webtoon takes place in ancient China, where the royal palace residents are slowly being corrupted by an evil demonic being who is masquerading as the royal advisor. The only one who knows the truth is the crown prince, but people think he's crazy and he's on the verge of dying. He finds an unlikely ally in a female general and they join forces to take the evil in the palace down. So far, it's pretty cool and everyone seems to be pulling their weight and no one is a pushover. The art is good and it combines magic with martial arts well.

Silly, dumb smut webtoon that is entirely based on the overused trope of miscommunication. Like all of these characters's problems would be solved if people freaking talked. The male lead assumes his crush is into S&M because he saw the gear in her bag (but it wasn't actually hers) and confesses to her that he's also into it too, to get her attention. When the truth of the matter is, they're both not into that sort of stuff. So she's perplexed, and goes to ask her guy friend who's also in love with her to teach her some pointers. Seriously, can you guys just talk to each other properly? But then there wouldn't be a story, would there? Well, it's not like there is much plot anyway. Art is average for a smut webtoon. Update: At least they finally work things out. The ending was better than the entire series put together. The side couple doesn't get much closure though, which is a bummer.

Limited Time Princess

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

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.

Oh my gooooooood. The birds are so adorable. The sparrow is an airhead and the goose always needs to look out for it, but tries so hard to act like it doesn't care THAT much, since it's got a reputation to keep. So heart-warming. We need more webtoons or manga like this. And who is tagging this shounen ai, what the heck??? That's just plain wrong.

Breakup Progress 99%

Lots of drama, but promotional chapter is basically nonsensical. Something about the female lead breaking up with a guy, and they get back together again. He dates another girl at some point. Art is average.

Chaos Alchemist

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.

My Years As a Taoist

Ongoing | 凯特动漫 | 2000 released

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.

Even If You Don't Love Me

Complete | Pando | 2000 released

Seems like a BL version of Boys over Flowers, except with less handsome guys as potential love interests. The male lead has two jerk male schoolmate who are interested in him. The first chapter didn't make much sense in establishing everyone and why the male lead is in and out of school. I don't know why he was screaming at one of the guys and then it skips to him in school. Flow of time is incoherent. Translation is crap after the first chapter, so I haven't read past that. Art is alright, but nothing special. Update: Ok, this is one of the few webtoons that get better after a while. I'm genuinely interested in how the plot will develop with each chapter. One of the better BLs I've read.

Can't Hold

The female lead is cute and quick-witted, allowing her to escape a dangerous situation all on her own, which I like. It reminds me a little of Fruits Basket, because she's joining a new school, and meets a delinquent fellow who's actually not a bad person on the inside. The art is very clean and aesthetically pleasing to read through, with great utilization of panels.
