Don't Concern Yourself With That Book

This promotional one shot was alright, it did make me feel like I wanted to read more, and wasn't crammed with all the confusing details of the novel, like other promo webtoons usually are. Art is very average, it's not standout in any way. I would be interested to read this if it becomes adapted into a webtoon. Update: It's been serialized! The art is worse in the series compared to the oneshot, it's too pastel and the colors too muted for my tastes. None of the characters are remarkable besides the girl and the two key men in the story. The girl is a dumbass as she's died 40 times despite the blue-haired man, Amor, giving her the cheat sheet to surviving. Only AFTER dying so many times, she finally remembers she knows the answers to the questions she's asked. He even told her how to behave in front of her murderer, Castor, and she conveniently forgot that as well, and has to be told again. This is 40 times of trying! Jeez. Give her some brains, I don't think she has any. Also, I'm confused why the two guys and the female lead aren't related if they're siblings. Amor says she's not related to them after she becomes an adult. Yeah, no, that's not how siblings work. It's not even how DNA works. So what the heck. Story makes no sense. It's obvious she's going to end up falling for her killer, typical. That's why it's set up so she's not blood-related to them, for some unknown reason that was not clearly explained. If she's a princess and he's a prince, then they must have the same father, right? Unless she was adopted. Is that what it is?

First, Let's Hide My Younger Brother

This promo was a complete mess. Nothing made any sense, and honestly, I didn't feel compelled to read the novel this is probably advertising. Like why does she need to go in place of her brother? Just avoid it altogether. Why is she dressed like a female and why is the male yandere also dressed like a female in school? Is this some weird crossdressing school where guys need to be feminine? Also, the eye patch thing is so lame. I don't know why people have an eye patch fetish, it's a little disturbing for me. Having an eye patch doesn't make you more appealing. Especially in real life. The art was so average too.

The Lady Wants to Rest

I'm not a fan of immortal beings who've lived forever since mankind began, nor of people who've reincarnated countless times and remember everything. These types of stories lack creativity, because no one has possibly experienced this in real life to write a character that could have actually gone through so much. Every life is different, and if you don't know what it was like, you can't write about it, because you're limited by your imagination. She says she's been a mage, a swordmaster, a musician, blah blah, and now she'll just chill for this life. How unappealing of a character can you be? You've supposedly gone through all this and you're not going to try something different this time around? Yeah, I don't buy it. No one can live a life without doing anything, it's impossible. Things will happen to you, regardless of what you want. I thought you would already know that, having living so many lifetimes, hmmm? Yeah, she's just stupid and I can't like her. It's a little despicable and insensitive to people who are struggling to live out just their one life here AKA us normal human readers. The art is above average though, so I'm just going to blame the writer of this webtoon because they're completely uninspired.

Hotel Ojakgyo

Seems like the run-of-the-mill mediocre BL webtoon with some omegaverse sprinkled in. I have no idea who the characters are, because it jumps in too quickly without properly introducing the characters. One is a dominant omega, whatever that means. His love interest is an alpha and a CEO, seriously? Unbelievable. I thought they were college students or something. I don't know who the shady blond man is supposed to be, and why the evil woman is trying tear the couple apart. Maybe it's also because the translation is a little off. Art is below average, lacking any details and no one is good-looking. Update: Thank god this was short, because it sucked completely. The blond guy tried to rape the omega guy, but magically everything works out, and the blond guy isn't arrested for the attempted rape. It even ends with him smiling gently at the reader, like we're supposed to forgive him? Wow, disgusting.

Looks promising, it reminds me of Danganronpa a little bit. People say Saw here, but I haven't watched that, so I can't say so. The art style is very Western-inspired, with bold dark colors and lines. I want to see what happens next.

The Saviour's Time

Very interesting concept of trying to solve his brother's suicide by going through his app history and chat messages. I want to read more! Art fits this webtoon's tone very well.

Travelling Through the Universe's Flower

Ongoing | Minxi,Kuizi | 2000 released
2021-01-09 23:38 marked

The female lead is a freaking idiot. I especially hate it when authors do this, declaring their protagonists geniuses, and failing to deliver. Readers aren't dumb. Just because you say she's a genius doesn't mean she is one. It's even worse, because she herself says she is a genius. Real geniuses won't call themselves geniuses, unless they're conceited pricks. Either way, you shouldn't do that. The world she travels to is a strange mix of ancient China and modern Western era, which makes zero sense. If they have flying airships, why is she using a bronze mirror? Yeah, this webtoon is just dumb. And she falls in love with the jerk who got off the airship at first sight. Genius, my ass. The only good thing about this is the art, which utilizes the webtoon format with the verticality of the panels to show time travel.

When My Pet Became the Villain

Complete | SEO Jaemi,Hunya | 2000 released

This webtoon makes no sense. The introduction of the types of people that exist is weird, they're literally One, Two, Three, Four in Spanish. And what is the purpose of Cero? Why is she calling someone she's never met a villain? I can't even tell if this is isekai or not. How the hell did her dog become a person? WTF??? The art is average. The puppy is the best part of the promo, hands down.

A Trivial Extra in a Dating Sim

Ongoing | Charity | 2019 released

I'm confused why she's called a trivial extra, because it seems like she's the main character, who is a saint. Why did the game even bother asking her to choose and confirm her love target if it's fine to pursue any of them to win the game? That was just idiotic. It would have made more sense to show all the available types of men to date, and then she clicked enter, and then give her the mission once she transmigrated. Has the author even played an Otome game before? Literally, you don't choose from the very beginning, you fall into a path, or you actively chase after your desired target. How ridiculous. The art is average for this kind of webtoon.

Your Mask is Falling Off, Your Majesty

Haha, the female lead is funny. It got a little confusing when it started talking about their previous lifetimes, though. I thought it was unnecessary, because they could have discussed this in the main story than in the introduction. I'm not sure how much I'll like this webtoon, but it's alright so far. The art is average at best.
