July's manga / #Webtoon(264)

This webtoon is so bad. It wants to be isekai version of Runway de waratte but can't even make itself appealing enough to be read. The art is really not good, but at least the author does an ok job at drawing clothes (can you imagine if they didn't?). There's so many problems with this story that it's trying to tell. If she was working at a factory that made clothes and died and isekai'd to this new world, she will not have the know-how to design clothes since patterning and designing are very different things. You really learn nothing about the clothing making industry reading this, because the author didn't bother to do any research and just wrote whatever floats their boat. The dream of the female lead is to make ready-made clothes, basically mass production of fashion. That seems so un-herolike and unimaginative. It's one thing to design the most beautiful clothes but it's an entirely different thing to wish to mass produce clothes to make lots of money. That's just being greedy and narrow-minded, as well as unambitious. That's why I cannot even begin to root for this boring-ass main character. And there's some side plot where she dresses like a man because she wants to be like Mulan basically. As a woman, no one will take her seriously, so she must be a guy to design clothes. Yeah. Completely stupid. Then the next thing you know, she's being arrested because they thought she was molesting a servant girl, and she laments about being disguised as a guy. You can't have it both ways. Also, you can be female and still molest people of the same gender. Sighhhhhh. Don't even get me started on the endless gushing of the Queen's cousin about how handsome he is. The art is just not up to that level where as a reader, I can also gush over how handsome he is, because he simply isn't! I honestly don't like it when the author of a work keeps trying to beat their readers over the head with how supposedly good-looking a character is supposed to be. It's ok the first couple of times to establish it as an important thought in a character's head, but not necessary in every freaking chapter. Like, we get it! And also also, they really expect us to think the Queen Cecia united 99 kingdoms? Please. Author, list all 99 of them for me. Or you can't because you just came up with 99 since it looks impressive as a number? It's literally impossible to conquer 99 kingdoms in a single lifetime, let alone however many years it took for this Queen.

Holy crap, this webtoon is one of the worst ones I've read so far. Not only is the art super bad, so is everything else. I don't understand how his power really works, besides that he gets some arbitrary points for recording his experiences and he can use them to exchange for knowledge or skills? The male lead has no personality, and he's a perfect character who can literally do everything perfectly since he got the skills from the book exchange. There is no conflict and each chapter is dedicated to showing off how supposedly good he is at everything. But my main problem here is how the artist is terribly bad at their job in trying to depict it. Like he's supposed to be a master calligrapher, but the so-called masterpiece calligraphy he writes are laughably bad. I was almost mentally crying with frustration from looking at the chicken scratch calligraphy that grown men were clamoring over and saying it will cost millions of won. Like seriously? And then he got the experience of cooking and oh lord, the webtoon went even more downhill from there. There's lots of drawings of panels where they're eating to show his food expertise, and the artist of this webtoon cannot draw appealing food worth a shit, since all the food looks like blobs of different colors, then you have the characters gushing over how delicious and appetizing the food is. I think I lost some brain cells...Not to mention, despite the so-called expertise of the main character, the author clearly did no research and just randomly spouts ridiculous stuff using their characters which make absolutely no sense, like how pork is easier to eat than beef and how sweet potatoes work with tteokbokki. I can't even. And the male lead is also a Michaelangelo, so he's a master painter too, and he paints awful drawings that once again, everyone praises him to death over. Please pass this webtoon, it is a travesty. Update: Completed at 150 chapters.

The art is very nice, it's not beautiful, but the style is appealing to look at and easy on the eyes. The brother character is love with his not blood-related "sister", who is really his caretaker. He lost his mother at a young age and his father is too busy to take care of him, so she had been his guardian until he reached 18. It's very short, so it's difficult to judge how good this webtoon will be.

Nothing about this webtoon makes any sense, largely due to the horrible translation. I really don't know what is happening at all. There's a lot of cute chibi animals and magic flying around, but no real plot. The kingdom where the female lead lives is enemies with another kingdom where one of the male love interests lives, and they're scheming stuff about using magic and taking over the other kingdom. The art is pretty bad, everything looks like a cartoon, and most of the characters are drawn in a simplistic way that is not nice to look at.

It was interesting in the beginning, but then devolved completely. Every chapter now has drawn-out battles where you can't tell what is happening and who is fighting. There's too many characters and they all look alike, and none of them have any personalities. There's too much talking while fighting, like a shounen manga, but worse. There's a lot of fantastical effects and super powers, so it's completely covered by special attacks instead of actual fighting. The translation also got worse, so I really don't know what is going on. The male lead is too OP and he kills people in one hit, but he's very boring as a character.

The art style of this webtoon is quite good, but I don't like the characters's looks too much. It seems decent so far, but still early to tell. A school girl meets a jerk schoolmate, and they'll probably fall in love, according to the prologue. Simple romance story, I think.

Very cute cats, art is adorable. It's like short strips, with no plot, just random daily activities and adventures of two cats. The gray cat is smart while the white cat is stupid. It's a short and quick read.

It's confusing what is happening, since there's no establishment of who the characters are, or what their motives or purposes may be. It doesn't do a good job setting up the story, but the art is very nice. Hopefully, it gets better with time but there have been no recent updates.

They're trying to do a strong female heroine in this webtoon, but she comes off as unlikeable. I just don't buy that she's a forensic medical professional who also happens to know both Western and Traditional Chinese medicine, all three of those are very different specialities. It would be more believable if she was just good at one thing. Making a protagonist overly knowledgeable when she acts stupid is too unconvincing to be possible. I prefer Shen Yi Di Nu over this, even if it was weird that a doctor also knew martial arts, at least it is more believable. Besides, the female lead in Shen Yi Di Nu is actually intelligent, unlike this one. Just saying a character is smart doesn't make them smart. Show, don't tell! Also, the art is mediocre at best.

Cute cats~ The female lead was hired to work at a cat cafe, but she actually is scared of cats! Will she survive? I think the art is adorable. I'm waiting for the next chapters. Update: Finished. It doesn't really go anywhere, but there are some nice moments here and there. I wouldn't say there was enough character development besides very minor things like the blue-haired girl opening up more, and the female lead becoming less afraid of cats by the end.
