I like Lookism a lot. The story was boring and flat at first but there's some character development and obvious improvement to the art over time. I will admit that I find the fight scenes boring because they're so kdrama over the top and are super drawn out (like minimum a whole chapter).
>>49728I knew that she had an assistant but I didn't know that she actually has 4 people working for her. >>49734's post is even more ridiculous now because the webtoon is constantly on long hiatuses.
I also see people lauding it as well written and calling Persephone a cute and interesting character, but it's literally just uwu soft babby moves to a new town where the hottest man around is infatuated with her and she gets bullied by a super hot chick that likes the hot man. Super cliche and overused plot.

I'm conflicted about Knights of Ashera. On one hand there sometimes are very well-rendered panels (that the creator obviously did as stand-alone illustrations at first, then inserted into the comic) but on the other hand you get these lazy panels where she just copies and pastes stuff around. Almost every panel is just "single character seen from the shoulders up faces the viewer directly and talks", too.

It's not like i don't think a comic can be out there ridiculous and still be great. The problem is that she's completely unaware of how dumb her stuff is and at the same time she takes herself sooo seriously.

>My family has a complicated history of separation, immigration, divorce, and remarriage. I won't go into the details but my mom often said to me "It's my life, my choice, I do what I want. You have no right to judge me."
>I'm 18, but as a 9 year old child at the time, I couldn't repeat what she said. I could only wonder "Your choice in life affects me too."
>Divorce is such a fad these days. Half the people I know have divorced parents, and most of them aren't happy about it. I understand in some situations divorce is the only way, but when your choice affects more than just you, think of the consequences and choose wisely.I felt (and still feel) that she sounds incredibly cunty and self-obsessed. Obviously I don't know her situation but the overly uwu angsty doodle with that comment make her sound just as selfish as her mother. Not to mention she made a whole comic on the topic which also feels incredibly self-pitying.

I love Sweet Guy/he does a body good and never got over it, even though the story was kinda stupid. I feel like the author wanted to do more with it but it had to be rushed due to the artist's illness/injuries, which is understandable, but a shame.
I tried reading Ghost Love, but neither the art nor the story were engaging enough for me to keep going nor the porn itself either.
Fatal Woman felt like it was written by a woman (which is good) and the story was interesting, but had so much cucking that it was obvious it was the writer's fetish. Pretty meh in that regard.

How do you guys feel about Merryweatherey's comics? The only one I kind of like is Clinic of Horrors. Outside of that, I don't think he's a good writer and he relies too much on beating anime tropes to death (Stalker x Stalker is basically a YanSim fanfic) and drooling over big tiddy high school girls and lolis (literally all his comics). I brushed the latter off as weeb fanservice but then I remembered that several of his male protags are self inserts. Guess he found a way to date his waifus lol.
No. 58520
>>58439He absolutely relies on picking whatever is popular with weebs at the moment, quickly churning out a script for it and hiring artists that can keep up with several updates a week. It works well for WEBTOON's demographic and format, it favours updating a lot (even if the updates are short) and having more than one comic.
Unrelated to the "quality" of his writing but I used to be in a server with him and always thought he was a teenager, based on his typing style and dumb arguments he'd get into. I was floored when I found out he was an actual adult with popular webtoons.

I don't follow a lot of webtoons, but the ones I do follow, I kind of hate and I'm not quite sure why I haven't dropped them. My biggest problem with most of them is the pacing. Almost everything I read has dozens of chapters, yet has barely progressed whatsoever. Every time I read a new chapter, I'm hoping/looking forward to some small progress, but instead I get handed a pile of dogshit. Anyway, I'll leave some individual opinions on the ones I'm following.
My Deepest Secret, I dislike it, but also still enjoy it. The art is mediocre, I don't understand Elios's weird character design when everyone else looks so normal, and I feel like the story progression is too slow. The plot is also a bit eh, though, not terrible so far. I'm hoping it'll improve as it goes along.
Cursed Princess Club is pretty fucking terrible. Gwen is absolutely hideous and ~uwu~ soft sm0l bean who's quirky. The plot progression has been absolutely nonexistent as well and the art is incredibly awful. It feels like the creator can't even be arsed to use a less disgusting brush. The whole feelsgoody asspatting premise is painfully obnoxious and shittily done. By far the worst part of it all has to be the fanbase. They all talk about how beautiful Gwen is and demonize the prince for being unable to be attracted to a character who literally looks like a witch. It's all disgustingly disingenuous.
Candilanderz is obscure, but nonetheless awful. The creator has awful art, the characters are all obnoxious, and the pacing feels jarring. The premise feels about as terrible as its characters, too. I don't know why, but it seems to have been put on hiatus for months now. The thing is, the creator has been releasing shitty animatics of the characters in the meantime and has made multiple speedpaints where she talks in depth about the characters history instead of showing it through the comic.
True Beauty, once again, has terrible pacing. Almost nothing has fucking happened. Every time we get close to something happening, it stops on a cliffhanger that ends anticlimactically and doesn't progress anything. I can count on one hand the number of significant things that has occurred. Honestly, I would much rather she not bait something is going to happen. It actually pisses me off the amount of times this has occurred with the exact same results. The art is pretty stiff, which I think is related to how many times the artist redraws it. Her process seems to be make a sketch, line the sketch with a sketch, line that sketch with another sketch, and then finally do lineart with airbrushed pillow shading.
Finally, Lore Olympus. Like everyone has been saying, the art is terrible and so are the characters. Nothing has happened for about 60 chapters, either. It's only everyone thinking Persephone is an ~uwu~ cute sm0l bean. The story gets sidetracked so much as well. It keeps introducing all these character subplots and then never touches on them again. Other things, things the should be more significant, have also been grossly neglected. Persephone got raped somewhere around chapter 20. Considering a huge part of the story seems to be the virgin goddess shit, how is it this has been ignored for so long? It's also been 70 chapters of "they like each other OwO" and nothing has happened with that either. It's beyond the point of slow bullshit that even the shittiest of shoujo manga would consider pulling. I could say a lot more, but it'd be too long for something that's just a regurgitation of what other anons have been saying.

This is a cute comic so far, just a simple romance story but the art is nice and the characters are likeable, only problem is the pacing (which is an issue with most webtoons imo) but it’s not too bad.
No. 59677
odd girl out, unordinary, hooky, cheese in the trap, and boyfriend of the dead are the ones i genuinely look forward to every week. great pacing, great characters, and unique story ideas. odd girl out and boyfriend of the dead don't have the best art in the world, but it makes it more authentic imo. their passion shows.
least favs are definitely lore olympus, luff, age matters, and sweet home. lore olympus is the only one i still follow at this point bc i'm curious about the apollo plotline. mary sue, unoriginal characters. luff and age matters are boring af, and sweet home is mad edgy. i also tried following let's play in the beginning but if you wanna talk about mary sues, THAT is a shitshow.
siren's lament and freaking romance are just kind of okay. siren's lament got boring and as another anon said, freaking romance's creator is fucking annoying. i love yoo is super interesting, but shin-ae gets super grating. she's such a stereotype. i actually enjoy true beauty but i totally see the critiques about pacing and story, i'm just in it for the love triangle at this point. ghost teller was better in season one.
and for completed ones, oh holy, refund high school, and your letter were fantastic.
(also not official webtoon but it's on webtoon: read satan and me. it's so fucking good.)

>>62557Not a fan either. I don't think the art is necessarily bad but it's just so stiff. Like someone posed wooden mannequin dolls and traced over them. Story-wise…I'm not even sure what it's about anymore. Most featured webtoons seem to go like that, 80+ episodes with a bunch of useless dialogue, tangents, little character development and no direct or engaging plot. Stopped reading I Love Yoo around chapter 60 because of this.
Also, does anyone else abhor the 3D backgrounds some webtoons use?
I would honestly much rather see artists draw their own backgrounds even if they do look wonky. The 3D backgrounds just look so devoid of life/personality and so unflatteringly detached from the characters - pic related.

The only drama is the heroine's inner conflict of the Madonna Whore complex regarding herself, which does lessen as she talks and has sex with her bf. I have not read it recently since it is pretty hard to find translations of it.
I like the art of Narae's Fantasy, but the plot is pretty meh and I feel like it drags on at times imo. I have stopped in the middle of it because it is hard to find translations. Women focused ero webtoons really don't get that much love in translations compared to the typical male MC titles.

Yuumei used to have a comic called Knite about these kids who would fly kites with LED lights to mimick stars and it was meant to be a commentary on the pollution in China but then she introduced the villain in the story, who went on to explain that the lights and batteries and kites were causing even more pollution and honestly made much more sense. After that, she stopped updating because she probably couldn't justify her heroes anymore

She's more worry about being found fooling around with Hades that the fact that she no longer virgin and able to belong in the TGOEM.

I liked edith up until
Spoilers
Edit and philip got together tbh,it was interesting at first with edith dealing with her flaws and insecurities but when they became a thing it became basic
plus with the addition of a slight style change, its not drastic but i really dont like it, i miss how the earlier chapters looked. Another critique is the art itself, alot of times it just got lazier, practically all of it arent colored in properly wonky anatomy even in the first chapters it was a problem
The lack of backgrounds and its pretty obvious that swansgarden sucks at it too, texts on buildings or books looks so cheap she took it straight out of the fonts section and chooses the most basic and looking fonts that doesnt even look good and not even aligned properly to the perspective

Your comment made me look up the recent chapters and man, I can’t say anything in terms of the story, but the style really has changed. It’s lost that initial softness that really suited it, it looks like it’s downgraded. She probably had to adapt to a quicker style to keep up with the chapters but it looks well rushed and not as appealing.

Version day and night is getting featured
At first i liked it but overtime im kind off disliking it. I like the artsyle alot its very expressive but hate the lazy ass 3d backgrounds its so off putting and lazy af, if your gonna use that just trace over it atleast. i dunno if i'll drop it or not. The pacing is wierd sometimes i dont like it when it dedicates a chapter in another characters perspective with the same events that happened prior
The main female lead Candy is different for sure but does get annoying at times. She acts wierd and unapologetically detached and nonchalant its starting to get on my nerves
Especially jean, at first i liked him i like his design. Hes a very socially awkward guy, it was cute at first but now i find it insufferable, i rlly hate this one scene with him when he doesnt shut up about an assumption jfc…alot about him is just cringe but i guess thats the point but i cant deal with it anymore
The other guy who cant remember the name of i dont much to say about him other than he acts like a beta male around candy. I cant really fully criticize this comic because its fairly new so i'll give it a pass but i will not look forward in reading it again

Reading Hellbound and it's ehh. The comic art ranges from decent to 'off'. It's been going for one year, but the author only got the plot going these last few weeks. They main couple only met a few weeks ago and they still hate each other, but that didn't stop the author from drawing fan art of them together. I'm only reading the comic because I misread the plot synopsis and i'm to deep in to drop it.
Anyhow I came into this thread because I want to try and make a webcomic. How hard is it to get popular on webtoon if you have mid tier art (no gigantic perspective or proportion mistakes, but gets muddled in small anatomical details and not the best style) and basic writing skills. Is it hard to get big or is it more an update semi often thing? I can post art examples

Was going to post this in a bad art thread, but realized here it may be more on topic…
This online comic will be 20 years old in August and it still looks like this. Sameface characters that make reading difficult, moomin faces everywhere, no backgrounds unless absolutely necessary (and the creator is an architect), no contrast whatsoever making the comic pages looking smudged… There has been no improvement since 10 years at least kek.
I can't believe I looked up to Fred Gallagher as a weeb teen. He is like a proto Yanderedev of webcomics. Poor skills, prone to drama (in the past) and unable to finish anything he starts.
>$2,000 - reached! per month
I will replace two pencil and color illustrations I am currently doing per month with two Megatokyo comics to produce a minimum of four Megatokyo comics per month - more if I can.
It's a joke, right? How can you be such a lazy turd when the comic has been your (presumably) main source of income for years and people are paying you. Or is he afraid of losing paypigs when Megatokyo is done and that's why he is stretching the convoluted mess forever? Anyway I am not surprised that it went from one of the most popular webcomics on the net to a forgotten mess that only the biggest psychofans continue to read .

The main character is an ugly girl surrounded by handsome guys chasing after her (cliche, boring and predictable i know). Idk if the comic's supposed to teach "beauty isn't everything" but it's teaching exactly the opposite. It's very shallow and superficial and it's made for ppl who daydream about dating kpop bois. Also, the author is actually a pretty korean girl so she can't relate to her work but knows ugly and insecure girls'd fall for it.
>>49444I think the art in Lore Olympus is pretty even if it's inconsistent. TBH if the comic wasn't about greek mythology I wouldn't even read it - it's my weak spot. But the 'Hades-Persephone' romance is so annoying and she's just a boring character with no personality. Also hate how the author and ppl in the comments try to act all PC with greek gods and myths, wtf. BTW, there's a lot of greek myths about love between men and gods but I don't see any gay couple at all. Seems like the author isn't inclusive at all lol

Before that we'll probably get Hades finally learning about the rape and torturing Appolo, Kore standing up to her mom, and a redemption arc for Minthe where she'll graciously let Kore and Hades get together (or die tragically, maybe because of what her comically evil friend is up to).
So nothing related to the actual myths and characters at all.

A lot of webtoons skew so far from the original plot that it feels like the author completely forgot what the story was supposed to be about in the first place. Lookism also has this problem where the plot was really supposed to be about the main guy realizing his self worth but now it’s just about gang warfare.

Honestly LO is pretty midtier in terms of narrative like… typical soap opera shit, but the art is kinda nice. I think mostly teenage girls hype it up bc it's Greek myth (the new hot trend) and clichey and sugarcoated enough even though it tries to appear mature, so they feel like they're reading the real grownup stuff. Tbh i quite enjoy it as entertainment, and i think the series (idk if it will be animated or live action) might do quite well since the writer clearly knows how to follow a predictable formula to success much like a discount Meg Cabot. I only hope actual classicists and/or greek myth enthusiasts don't have a stroke reading/watching it bc holy cow is it inaccurate from the whole Apollo-Persephone thing to, like anon said, comically evil Thetis, you know, the woman that took care of Hera's defect baby.
On that topic, i actually haven't read a single webtoon that is NOT soap opera shit, so either i have shit luck/taste in picking what to read next or it's just really what gets people's attention.

The premise sounded interesting at least, I'll try to give it the benefit of the doubt, maybe the art would get better as the story goes, or at least the story is enough to keep interest.

I’m also tired of good two shoes characters too, like horror is my favorite genre bc we get more intriguing characters but I still just can’t like the MC bc he’s shown to be a guy that’s a shut in who can’t stand people and wants to die until suddenly he wants to live and help others in the same chapter like I dunno, just feels like he’s only motivated by plot purposes to me

Even in the prologue he's breaking down from the trauma of losing his family. His tough fuck the world and my family act is just that an act. And his entire hating his family thing is because of what happened at his school and how he had been a decent kid and never wanted to be the way he was. You just want a reason to hate the character.

So True Beauty is confirmed making a drama and Cha Eun Woo is considering the offer to play Suho (shocker…). I like the art but there's like hardly a plot to the story, so wtf are they going to do when scripting the drama?
Is there a chance that the drama could be better than the webtoon? Probably not very likely.
I'm 99% sure the author wrote the character FOR Cha Eun Woo so he kind of has to take this role. I'm also p sure that the author is going to use this opportunity of making a drama to social climb with idols bc she's clearly obsessed with them.

they're turning this shitshow into a drama series. and cha eunwoo has been cast as the dude in pic related and has yet to accept the offer. these korean netizens are savage and i totally agree with them.
>6. [+56, -0] No but what are they wishing to accomplish with True Beauty as a drama? What's the potential in it…? To be honest, I don't even understand what depth of plot it has. It's basically just a basic girl who turns into a goddess with some makeup on, but the truth is that even her natural face is enough to sway men's hearts. Even when you look at idols who have bare face, you can tell they're pretty so I don't understand why plots are this are being made into dramas? Are they that desperate to get fame? The plot might be about Jookyung trying to pursue her dreams, but the reality is that all she does is putting on makeup

>>86812I don't read LO but I'm a big Ancient Greece sperg and my understanding is that Hades is the most reasonable, level-headed male deity. He's the god of judgement, and is actually kinder than either of his brothers. Also everyone seems to forget that Persephone is Hades' niece lol
People only characterize him as evil/scheming because "hell" has been mistranslated as "Hades" in the Bible. Like yeah he tricked Persephone into eating pomegranate seeds, but at least he didn't turn into a goose and rape someone.
No. 87065
>>87061I think there's a difference between making a likable Hades and making a Hades that has a stutter because his daddy ate him and no one else seemed to suffer from this. Also, his personality flip from tolerable likable to dumb puppy cause woman who cares seems to be based on fan input from chapter to chapter.
Setting it up so the audience feels he was a better choice than Zeus when it came to Hera is even worse cause Hera is not innocent or nearly only benevolent at all, which seems to be her current portrayl.
Really, some of the personality points she becomes fixated on overusing seem random based on how her fans react to certain characters.

You know what someone should do (if it hasn't been done already?) Write a comic that's a parody of reality shows like Big Brother where all the gods live together in a big house and start drama. Because that's honestly what Greek gods are like. Most of them are shallow, catty hedonists. I mean jfc the Trojan war happened because Hera, Athena, and Aphrodite had a fight about who was prettiest, and many of the male gods are just frat guys who bone everything that moves.
Basically ancient Greeks' explanation for why shitty things happen was basically "the gods are a bunch stupid assholes.

imo I was never really into I Love Yoo since it felt like a standard kdrama plot, but everyone hypes it out to be "unique" and "fresh" so I read a few chapters. Shin Ae reminds me of a stereotypical notlikeothergirls lolsorandom self-insert protagonist and the plot feels like it's progressing at snail's pace. it goes on for so many chapters and it feels like it has a lot to say about nothing.
A lot of people like the fact that Shin Ae is from a poor background and that it's a refreshing take because it deals with the hardships of being working class, but I feel like Annarasumanara handled that a lot better.

Loved Annarasumanara, wish I could find more Webtoons of that caliber. I am definitely sick of the "I eat pizza and don't wear makeup, one of the boiz!!!1!" trope. I don't like the idea that the best female characters are supposed to be the ones that don't act female.

Something that bothers me about a lot of webtoon romances is how solipsistic and low key man hating it is. These feminist authors make comics about their self-inserts who want everything, but have nothing to offer. And on top of that some of them are making 6 figures indulging other married women and young sjws in this delusion. The male love interest never really feels like a man. Just a mouthpiece for them to talk about how stunning and brave they are. I'm sick of it.
No. 92165
>>92158Agreed. If they're self-inserts were actually stunning and brave, they'd be with those men IRL but they're not. Most of these women are with simps because they can't take criticism and they're only capable of writing about first world problems, so that's why they fantasize about these rich, handsome, and powerful men.
But the weirdest thing is that they're not content with being taken care of by high status men. They want to control them. These webtoon authors don't write realistic male characters because they don't care about understanding the male perspective. That's why they write stories completely in service of the female protagonist.
It's all about how special she is because the love interest chooses her over every other slut who wants to sleep with him. He's violent and more than happy to inflict violence upon anyone who's a threat to her. He can't even get an internal monologues about himself. It's written just to inflate her already massive ego.
But there's something kind of dark about this beyond being turned on by violent men and wanting to wield their power. There's deep seeded insecurity rooted in all of this.
Why control a powerful man instead of letting him take the reigns? Because they don't trust men. Either they subconsciously know they don't have anything to offer or they're damaged. A lot of feminists have weak/passive/emotionally neglectful fathers and it's no coincidence that most of them are unattractive and have been rejected by average men.
They act out of control because most men in their lives have been permissive of their
toxic behavior, so how could they trust strong men to stick around or benefit them? Any man worth his salt would leave.
Instead of bettering themselves and increasing their odds of getting their dream man and keeping him, they would rather cope with their horniness and lack of male attention with these self-indulgent romance stories. Since they're getting paid and flooded with praise from young, impressionable fans and permissive cat ladies/karens, there's not much incentive for them to change.
And that's why I've written this essay. I'm frustrated and I want to finally get romance comics about strong women who are willing to better themselves and respect men. Not man-hating fap material about privileged woman who want to sit on their ass all day and be coddled, while simultaneously having everything handed to them.
No. 92194
>>92191that's something out of someone's control but the author's especially on a platform where everyone can publish their first draft, without editors and beta readers and criticism (pre-publish). The readers are also new to the webtoon scene or not have read stories (good ones) to bring comparison or reference to the ones you're complaining about. Also, a lot of stories are like those you talked about because people like those plots and characters and wanted their own version of it despite not having any differences with each other but the names, places, and etc.
Also, it gets views, traffic and fans, and also income.
No. 92295
I can put up with a lot of different tropes, but there is one I'm getting sick of, I don't know what to call it, torture porn?
I've been noticing a lot of webtoons, especially Asian translated ones, about high schoolers or middle schoolers who are brutally bullied. Like, chapters and chapters straight of them being beaten up, stepped on, yelled at, so on, by literally every person in their life - all of their classmates, their teachers, their coaches. At some point, it doesn't seem to serve a narrative purpose, it's more just there for shock value.
Has anyone else noticed this? #Killstagram is one example, Random Chat is another. I suppose this is popular because teens find this thrilling and taboo? It just gets kind of boring and annoying after some point.
No. 92309
>>92168What's an example of a mainstream romance story aimed at men that is misogynistic? I'll concede to your point the day I see an openly anti-feminist man getting paid to write low-key woman hating stuff on Webtoons.
And my problem isn't with wish fulfillment. It's wish fulfillment starring detestable/boring protagonists that I have an issue with. Webtoons is flooded with these sort of characters.
No. 92315
>>92165What a bizarre rant.
So men get to watch porn where ugly middle-aged men get their pick of stunning, surgically-altered 18 year old girls who are happy to be choked, tied up, spit on, have cum in their eyes, and anal… But women can't enjoy a little wish-fulfillment where a cute girl gets with a cute guy and have a cute romance?
I consider myself pretty feminist but I really don't find webtoons that "
problematic" at all, especially considering the lack of violence and nudity on the platform. Silly cheesy wish-fulfillment romance novels or movies have been around for decades and shockingly, the human race and marriage and teen girls and whatever have been doing just fine. This is just another case of people demonizing pleasures meant for women (romance novels, magazines, soap opera TV's, fashion, makeup, sex not meant for procreation, ringing the devil's doorbell.) Find something else to whine about.
No. 92318
>>92295I had a phase where I ate those kinds of stories up, still have a thing for them, especially stories about bullying. Japanese manga and dramas about bullying are more interesting because they are so dramatic, western stories are too tame in comparison. It's probably not a shocker to anyone that I was bullied badly in hs.
I feel these stories give teens an opportunity to idk commiserate? Like hey this protag's life is as shitty as I'm feeling, so I'm not alone.
No. 92325
>>92319Oh yes, depression rates have increased for women because of feminism and romance Webtoons. Not for any other myriad of reasons, like… mental health/depression not being seen as a real thing until a few years ago thus skewing data, people spending time inside of traffic jams and stuffy offices instead of doing outdoor labor, modern day stresses like $100,000+ student loan debts and nuclear warfare.
It was women getting the right to vote and the ability to publish romance novels that made them depressed.
Ok.
No. 92335
>>92319 I think you're oversimplifying. Of course women are depressed about having to work 40+ hrs a week and pursuing worthless degrees. Who told them they'd be happier if they did that? You think women in the past were more depressed raising their family and chilling at home than today's feminists who are actively trying to cancel anything that offends them? And nuclear warfare isn't impacting people as a whole on a domestic level so not sure why you're bringing that up. We're more likely to die during our commute to work than a nuke from North Korea.
Webtoons is
problematic, but it's not the problem. It's only a reflection/symptom of a much more complex issue.

I am baffled at how much rachel regressed in terms of art. This artstyle imo is a THOUSAND TIMES BETTER than what we ended up getting. Plus its interesting seeing persephone having this stern and mature gaze rather than the mary sue uwu cinnamon roll hooker baby doll shit and having a bit more varied color choices rather than the boring thing we got
Lore olympus is trash but this artstyle is charming and less wonky looking atleast

No. 92559
>>92377It's not the wish fulfillment that's an issue. It's the way the female
protagonist and the male love interests are written. And it's possible that some authors of isekai harems are feminist in a way. Often times the women in those stories treat men really poorly. Female domination is a common trope in anime/manga. But at least with those stories the MC is OP so he at least has that going for him. Even if it's unrealistic it makes more sense than stories where the MC has nothing to offer but still gets a harem or hot love interest anyway.

Also, femdom is a male fantasy, it has nothing to do with feminism.
And overall, romance webtoons are not feminist or men-hating, they're just supposed to make the reader feel good by projecting. If the characters don't have a personality, it's because the author is lazy or just bad, that's all.

This is rachels other comic "the doctor foxglove show"
Im just blown away at how better the art is. The character designs are a bit more varied and consistent than LO but its still kinda wonky at times. I always had the impression that rachel always had juvenile art by looking at the original deleted lore olympus and the 1st few chapters of it, from the wierd faces (noses and mouths especially), wierd and almost broken poses and general inconsistency but i was wrong. I also assumed that she cant draw old people and other designs apart from her generic male and female types, she can its just that she stopped trying when she can get way with it and get paid. As for the premise itself…its interesting but this only has 3 chapters so i cant say much about it. I said it once i'll say it again she regressed imo

our canon, Lore Olympus fans would flood the comments with "Oh, but that's not the ~canon~ Greek mythology unlike Lore Olympus!! Rachel Smythe did so much research!!"
I'm sick of people sperging about canon Greek mythology when in reality it is basically just a fanfiction compilation, especially LO and classical Hades fans.
Punderworld is a blessing. I wish Punderworld had blown up instead of Lore Olympus, because the creator genuinely seems to care about telling a story in a fresh and fun way

Ava's demon is now on webtoon for some reason
Atleast its not as frustrating to read now with her dumb 1 panel layout but it does feel like an excuse not to update her comic (despite having a huge fanbase and popularity already so i see no real reason to branch out) since early december(funny enough this webtoon happened around october) but i'll give her some slack since shes been working on the comic nonstop for 3 years i think since her last long hiatus

Can't say much on the plot since we aren't that far in yet, but I do feel mystery/romance is a genre I haven't seen much of in webtoon, plus I appreciate that the characters are actual adults. I have high hopes for this one.

What I find weird about webtoons is a lot of them draw teenage/early twenties girls with an unrealistic and kinda sexualised body type (True Beauty is just the first that came to mind, the convenience store one is another big one). Like huge boobs, tiny waist, thigh gap. Which is weird because webtoons are aimed at girls. Like if we compare them to old shojo manga, even girls who are supposed to be beautiful still have an essentially realistic body type (relatively).

Afaik, the girl's body in True Beauty is just the Korean beauty standard - girls are expected to be like 90 lbs but somehow also have giant hips and boobs. In kpop irl, female idols do crap like eat only 800 calories a day then wear hip and boob padding once they lose any curve to them. Its screwed up.

i like this comic a lot, it's one of the best narrative-wise on webtoon and has a really unique world design and aesthetic. it's the one comic on the site that has an actual grown up story, with deep characters and a worthwhile plot.
that being said…the pacing is genuinely torturous at times. the author tries to make you care about side characters and plots way to much. he disrupts a perfectly paced chapter with ramblings on psychological themes that air on the side of cringe. i stopped reading for A YEAR and binged on the hundreds of episodes only to find myself at the point of having to wait another few months so i don't have to deal with the short, meaningless episodes before another major plot point happens.

Two examples of this are the RPG Misao, and the Creepypasta comic I Eat Pasta for Breakfast.

>>97599>>97457>>97985I think what makes it feel forced/bad is that we know nothing of these characters other than their sexuality. I don't mind tropes that fall into this category of "struggles with LGBT life".
But what makes this case feel bad is that Rami and the jock guy (i dont remember their names) have no character outside of being gay (and having a small penis for the jock I guess?).
The jock guy is killed before we get to know anything more about him, with each chapter only being dedicated to how he was a bully. If he's such an asshole, why is Rami and the other characters friends with him? It feels really weird and I think it's just difficult to differentiate each character before they die bc we're shown the bare minimum to them

It's really poor writing compared to Melvina's therapy, where he really only focused on two real main protags at once, so it was more fleshed out.

Huge tinfoil but True Beauty's author only wrote the webcomic to get it adapted into a tv drama so she could meet male idols. She's a talented artist (and shit writer) who saw the live action adaptation success turnover rate of other webtoons (Cheese in the Trap, Gangnam Beauty, Extraordinary You) that were made into drama adaptations and sought to take advantage of that. Being thirsty for some male idol dick, she figured that she would write a character that could
only be played by Cha Eunwoo in order to get close to (or fuck) the hottest male idol. That attempt isn't a total long shot because she's a good looking girl herself.
I don't think my theory is that far fetched if you consider that she's a huge idol fan and you look at how many webtoons were announced/made in just 2019 alone.

I feel like every time I see an artist on Instagram or Twitter, they're asking their fans if they should make a Webtoon even when they have no story to tell.

>>104730A lot of her perspective mirrors my own and I have similar reservations about the content being directed at a young (teens - early 20s) audience.
I enjoy Lore Olympus, but I'm almost in my 30s now. It's easy for me to understand Persephone/Hades is shallow, overidealistic and inappropriate. But I can acknowledge all that and suspend my real world outlook to enjoy it as the fluff it is.
What's "
problematic" is that while the author repeatedly has her own characters say, "This is wrong, the age gap is wrong, he's her boss so there's a power imbalance, they don't really know each other," it ultimately all falls on deaf ears because ~destiny~. In a mythological story, sure whatever. But this specifically portrays several of the gods including Persephone as teenagers, is being marketed to teenagers, and lord knows they will feel it excuses the same in reality. "Oh he's 30 years older than me? He's my boss? He's already in a relationship but ogling me? All this just means he loves me sooo much and is able to overlook all that!"
I bought into this myself so it hits close to home. Was in a relationship with a massive age gap and didn't see anything wrong with it because LURVE - spoiler, it didn't last and I wasted many years of my life supporting a grown ass man when I should have been out having fun and being a kid, because that's exactly what I was. Part of the reason I thought everything was fine was because media like this said age doesn't matter, even if everyone around you says it's weird and inappropriate, you're in love so it's fine! But nah. Adults getting involved with children is manipulative and creepy as fuck and I wish more media expressed
that rather than "love conquers all." Because sadly, impressionable children believe and get hurt because of it.

>>104774Thanks for your input anon. I'm sorry about what happened to you, and hope you're doing better.
In any case, Lore Olympus reads like a thinly veiled ddlg fantasy but wrapped up in a package of ~true love~ and complex characters.
The fans justify the large age gap and power dynamics by saying it already existed in Greek mythology, and if Rachel changes that aspect, then it won't be the same story anymore, but why did Rachel choose that to be the one thing she kept in? She changed literally everything other than the age gap, and the assault plot is really only there to bring the ship together and create unnecessary tension.
It's so tactless and distasteful. Hades and Persephone don't have a healthy romantic relationship, they view each other exclusively sexually, with a heavy focus on each others' bodies, but because Lore Olympus repeatedly tells us (not shows us) that they were meant to be, and that they make each other happy, the young fans eat it all up. It's so transparent.

Normally I don't mind 3D backgrounds in Webtoons, as jarring as they are, because I understand that creators have a deadline to meet and need to cut corners.
That being said, at least Webtoons like Let's Play and I Love Yoo look like they put some effort into meshing characters with the environment.
The latest chapters of Edith have been so… Lazy.

To Love Your Enemy, a new Thursday webtoon, is pretty fun. The art style is similar to True Beauty (but better imo). The characters actually look different from each other and they're a lot more expressive.
Yeonhee, the MC, comparatively has an interesting backstory that isn't "I was nerdy and bullied in middle/high school for being different" and it isn't forgotten about in favor of the shipping.
Also if cheating and looking ahead on Naver is any indication, it gets into
a fake dating plot and I'm a sucker for that shit

Title of the webtoon is "The Missing O"
Sex can be amazing, not to mention ecstasy inducingly mind-blowing. And Eunsung knows that because 7 years ago, she had good sex (an understatement). She felt the universe crack open to show her its secrets. Too bad she hasn't had a decent orgasm since. It's been a long journey, but everyone knows, before you get to "P," you have to go through "O."
It's quite a funny webtoon, I like the quirky and loud personnality of the main girl, plus the male MC is hot. The art is wonky at first, but you can see the improvement throughout the story. Yeah, quite a fun read at first, but I have absolutely no interest for the two other couples. You have a lesbian couple which kinda comes out of nowhere (the way they catch feelings for each other is barely showed, they just fuck and oh, they fall in love. Plus, one of the girl had a boyfriend before, and it is never implied that she is somewhat attracted to girls. You feel like the lesbian romance was just introduced to add diversity, and nothing else, no depth, the two characters barely had interactions, and then the autor just paired them up)
Then the degenerate femdom sub relationship where the girl (Okjae) is quite selfish and abusive.
If you just wanna put your brain aside and just watch smut with clichéd romance, read it, but don't dwell too much on it if you want a solid plot.

I just started this webtoon called "Soara Academy", I think it's a re-upload or something like that.
I find the concept and art style very cute, the main character isn't exactly likeable to me, but there are very few episodes so…
Summary:
"Welcome to a world where humans have bird characteristics. Follow Tony, an ostentatious budgie (parakeet) as he enters the school of his dreams, Soara Academy. Born with a rare trait, he finds himself being avoided by his peers. But that alone won’t stop him from finding true friendship and joining a flock! A light-hearted story full of birdyful romance, rivalry, and bird puns…

I feel like I Love Yoo is starting to become like the Rick And Morty of Webtoons in terms of its fanbase.
Point out any issues with its pacing and lack of direction and you'll be met with fans who claim that it's because the Webtoon is too complex for shallow people to understand. Some fans are even calling it a "class drama on par with Bong Joon-Ho".
Quimchee keeps setting up so many different plotlines and never giving any resolution, and chapters on end are just characters brooding about life sucking.
Shin-Ae is a passive and static protagonist who never grows or changes outside her r/notlikeothergirls personality, but fans claim it's a realistic depiction of childhood trauma affecting real life relationships.
The fans hype it up for its extremely subtle symbolism that's literally a signboard behind a character that reads "poor actor".
I enjoy it, but it annoys me that fans make it more sophisticated than it actually is.
No. 106819

>>106299I really liked the first couple of chapters of I Love Yoo where it was this silly drama-romance love triangle between two brothers. But then it just got really depressing and it was like, everyone being sad all the time, with no romance?
Am I insane, or when I Love Yoo first came out it was tagged as "romance," but now the "romance" tag is gone?
I just felt bamboozled because it definitely sets itself up as a romance then all the romance disappears.

>>106868Apparently it was always intended to be a drama Webtoon but Webtoon refused to let it be under anything other than romance, according to the creator…

Come on, look at this artwork. It screams "love triangle." But when I dropped it at 150 chapters in or so it seemed like there was no romance and just long chapters of people getting drunk and yelling at each other.
No. 106957
>>106905Nah it does make sense, romance is the most popular genre on webtoon. Categorizing it as romance baits (more) people into reading it and by extension, spending money on it.

She writes Shin-ae the way she sees herself – everyone else is to blame for her problems.

Any recommendations for a webtoon with art style and/or romantic dynamic similar to Unlucky Mansion? Things I like about it are
>adult characters, not set in high school
>assertive and frank female protagonist, not shy or a virgin beta
>enemies to lovers
>slow burn romance
>seemingly mean love interest who is actually a blushing sweetie
>side characters are not annoying and have unique dynamics with each other
I'd love to read season 3 of Unlucky Mansion but currently the artist took it all off every platform and only published it to the french webtoon site for some reason.

This author seems to have 2 romance webtoons with same-facey cute women with ugly, big-nosed men. (Webtoons are "In Security" and "Youve Gotta Be Kitten Me") Admittedly, ive only read a few chapters, but the "hot wife ugly husband" trope always triggered me a little. All of their instagram work seems to have the same theme.
Also one of the comics is about a guy who adopts a cat woman off the street and she wears a collar but they fall in cutesy uwu love with kind of oof BDSM themes, but uh… we'll get into that another day.

>>107871They're not even drawn in the same art style, ffs.

She's got a husband (who she calls "Mr. Husband, cringe) so she's not doing it because she's a lesbian. Maybe she's just one of those basic artists who can only draw instagram pretty girls. Or she's a pickme who pairs up hot women with ugly soys so male readers don't feel threatened.

Anons what are your thoughts on Krueger And Faust? It's a CANVAS Webtoon with 160k subs and a few million views despite only having 12 episodes, but so far nothing about it stands out. If anything, it pisses me off.

It's a love story with a "tsundere" type male, except while tsunderes are supposed to have a cute side, he seemed to be straight up asshole the entire 30 chapters or so I read. Not attractive in the slightest.

I know Wolfsbane's got a bad rep in the thread because of the vendetta/selfposting, but I saw that it was only 26 episodes long and decided to give it a shot.
Overall, I actually enjoyed it. The art is wonky for sure, but I've always been a fan of looser styles so I don't quite mind it as much. The Tumblr faces bother me, though but not enough to detract from the overall experience. I really like how they set up scenes and compose their panels, since I've become so jaded with stiff and flat perspectives in popular Webtoons. It's very creative and interesting to see.
I can't say I'm a big fan of the characters but the lore is pretty cool. If any of you anons don't mind the bad anatomy and Tumblr style, (as well as giving vendetta/selfpost anon the attention they want), it's pretty good to read as a quick binge kind of series.

So I was browsing a meme app not too long ago and I always get ads for this terrible-looking "beast" webcomic, usually the ads are pretty basic but today I got this ad and I had myself a hardy kek.
On another note the majority of webtoons I've been coming across lately (this one included) come across as poorly-written sad excuses for the creator to self insert herself into a world of sexy anime guys, and I can't distinguish any romance webtoons from the others. And the female leads that aren't blatant self inserts are the exact same breed of cookie cutter "uwu, h-hello I'm a shy, sweet little girl trapped in a strange world and I need a savior but I'm also a perfect badass pretty fighter gal! Did I mention every guy loves me?" It's part of the reason I hate the romance genre, every female lead is the same, including fucking Lore Olympus.

And hades is an absolute simp and it just bothers me alot i also got annoyed in a recent chap when eros said that persephone didnt have any friends and the classmates didnt like her and he just gave this scowl. You cant force ppl to like you doesnt help that its also partly his fault why they dont like her

>>111172god the art degraded so bad since the first few chapters. paycheck must be fat.
Does it bother anyone else that some of the american webtoons like Edith, I Love Yoo, and Midnight Poppy Land have such vague settings that are a fictional mix of America and korea/japan. The authors are clearly
weebs influenced by east asian media but they make no attempt at being accurate in any way so i feel like there's a slight disconnect to the characters. It's also cringey.
No. 111183
>>111176Yeah, Ares' first appearance as an ominous but cool character has all but evaporated, he's just a weird sex joke now. I was hoping they were going to go someplace with him detecting Persephone's rage towards
Apollo but nope, Hera gets to solve that one instead.
As for Hades, I do find it appealing that he's a brooding dork who worries about Persephone's boundaries and tries to give her support in a way that is respectful but attentive. He's a very safe character in my mind, unlike others in his social standing (Christian Grey comes to mind). He could be depicted as a rapey psycho who just wants to control Persephone the wide-eyed secretary but that isn't what he's about at all. I still hate their age gap tbh but I try to ignore it.
No. 111195
>>111176Ares being a distant manipulator and low-key a war general was SUCH a good concept and I hate that Smythe threw it all out the window for the sake of him being one of the many god's horny over Persephone and an overused pegging joke. In fact, the entirety of Lore Olympus is needlessly, tastelesly crass and sexual. Did Smythe really need to dedicate a
whole ass chapter showing how Persephone gets turned on? Do we
really need all these shots of Persephone's tits and ass? Do we really need to hear which sex positions Hades imagines Persephone in? When LO first dropped on Naver, the Korean crowd was flaming it alive for it's unnecessary sexual-ness, and the rating was considerably low for a while, but I guess LWT did damage control and now it's back to normal.

oooh i didnt know the korean crowds reaction to LO was like that, can you pls elaborate anon?
No. 111212
>>111195Well said anon. The way the artist portrays Persephone is so voyeuristic which is hilarious considering she is the protagonist whose sexual agency we are meant to root for. Except, the way she is framed is constantly from the point of view of absolute leering. It could be meta commentary of course but the execution does not seem self-aware to me so I think it's just that the creator simply doesn't know how to draw a woman outside of pinup poses. Coomer media rots the brain, even for women.
Tbh the subject matter is not an easy one to keep non-degen. The Greek Pantheon is littered with sexual deviancy so depicting it without any of that would seem strange, so I actually think the debauchery is probably the one thing that makes sense. I think premise-wise there are things there that should work together in theory
>the art style is hypersexualized>gods are horny and weird>Persephone is a fertility goddess raised chaste by a helicopter parent who probably watches Girl Defined>P tries to live that life but is incredibly horny>P moves to Olympus to liberate herself>She meets horny gods and learns about different ways to live one's life>There is a gloomy dude who's into her but is too timid to make a moveI think where it falls apart is making this a monogamous romance story. Persephone and Hades' trajectories are somewhat conflicting. Hades starts out with a FWB (and implied flings besides the one long term fuckbuddy) wants to be monogamous/exclusive. Persephone on the other hand is in an even stricter form of sexual boundary, she is committed to never even having sex in the first place. P's arc doesn't make sense to me as "from virgin to wife" because it's not a satisfying ending for a forced chastity beginning. She is going to go from being a virgin to marrying her first bf at 19. How depressing. I think the satisfying ending would actually have Persephone grow out of Hades and leave him behind to be her own person. Obviously it's not where the story is going though.
Idk, is the theme "be a good wife"??

Ok theres this thing that i wanna point out but correct me if im wrong. Even tho rachel said that she took out the incest stuff in lore olympus, i think she forgot to clean up a bit. You see, zeus is hades brother, hera is married to zeus and demeter is heras sister
HADES IS PERSEPHONE'S FUCKING UNCLE
God, its funny too, i think rachel realized this error so she changed it so she and demeter are no longer sisters, it was even blatantly stated at some points in the comic! I swear to god, picture above said "I miss my sisters" her sister obviously being demeter and hestia but in her wiki it says "unknown sisters" now haha. If anyone noticed this or remembers the sisters thing pls let me know, i could be wrong but i REALLY dont think so. LO just got 100 times more creepier

Ares however is her blood relative
No. 111559
>>111545There is no blood relation between Hades and Persephone as per that family tree. Are you high? Then again, they wouldn't be related even if Hera and Demeter were sisters.
>>111555Not sure why she decided to change it. Maybe she decided to make the women not related at all for some future fling she's planning between some of them. Also Ares is not her blood relative because as per that family tree anon posted upthread, Hera and Demeter are no longer siblings thus Ares and Perse aren't cousins. Hell, it looks like Demeter didn't even birth Persephone in Lore Olympus, she "Created" her.
Nobody is related to Persephone apparently.
Not sure if you know but Hades, Hera, Zeus, Demeter, etc. all those oldfags were siblings in the original myths so it's all turboincest. They're Cronus and Rhea's children. Hence, Hades is originally Persephone's uncle.

Because I read LO this Hades and Persephone Ficlets was recommended to me. It starts with their version of the story going into short stories. It's it's amazing how basic knowledge of the mythos and common sense goes a long way. This author who I believe is Vietnamese changes it up that Hera and sisters are adopted and Persephone was a created from clay child. There's still the 'uncle aspect' but it's played as a gag not to be taken seriously. This is their little AU short that of course the LO cult attacked them multiple times for daring to even breathe on the subject matter.

>>114581Inho is definitely best boy. He’s angry, but his hotheadedness and actual human personality is way more appealing in a character compared to Jung’s Mary Sue-ness and nice guy act. It’s pretty lost to me how Seol could possibly Jung as someone worth being interested in outside of his money tbh.

>>114814That puzzles me too. What does Seol actually see in Jung, truly? It's not like she values any of his personality traits. Jung has no redeeming quality and Seol isn't even into him for the bad boy aspect. There is nothing holding them together besides Jung being into her, which really could have been anyone else. She doesn't even want money so what gives? The hollowness of their bond and how Inho has a more grounded connection to Seol really baited me into thinking he stood a chance for a while but no, several seasons in and it's clear this is going nowhere.
Also, what the

>>115327Jugyeong and Seojun’s actors just don’t match enough for me. Jugyeong’s too pretty without trying and one of her key features for her transformation (monolids) is gone. For Seojun I understand they probably didn’t care to find a better match, but they didn’t even make Seojun’s actor have black hair. In fact, he and Suho seemed to have swapped hair colors. The guy they casted for Suho was practically his blueprint and he always does the same majority of the time stoic characters so visually and acting wise it should be fine, Suho is the most inexpressive of the 3 anyways.
For a series that is ultimately quite simple and borderline lazy with it’s lack of plot and delivery, the visual aspect of this webtoon is almost paramount to it’s success. The characters may almost all suffer from same face syndrome, but the expressions are clear and it’s pretty. Maybe the actors will bring the story to life better than I expect. But that’s something no one can tell until it actually comes out, so as it stands with only a poster, it’s disappointing that despite True Beauty being a weaker story to adapt into a live action series, the production has fallen short on delivering the visuals that make up for it.

Started reading this webtoon called Viral Hit, first page in its got a generic looking male protagonist who's of course at the bottom of the social order and I guess the "uwu underdog". What i hate about it is how the mc is such a doormat that he is willing to let one of his school bullies(who regularly beats him to a pulp btw) enter his own house and record a video borrowing his mother's yt account.

Also did some more digging on Lovebot to see how the universe worked and found this, some art made by the creator. How come it's considered morally wrong in this universe for robots to be "beat up" but it's not wrong to see them in this? This character(forgot his name sry) most likely had to wear bdsm style clothing for Mod Mike. He didn't choose this style of clothing. It's implied these robots have autonomy, wouldn't it be a little disturbing making concept art of a robot wearing what it's "abuser" intended it to wear? The more I try to make sense of it the more it boggles my head, it's like the author cherry picked which things should be considered morally wrong and which ones shouldn't.

So there's this comic on canvas, called Colorless, the creator is friends with the creator of Ava's demon. I have mixed feelings towards this, I think the premise sounds interesting, however the character design is kinda lackluster. This takes place in a world where humanity is near extinct save for our main characters, by creatures called the Animated. From what I saw in the beginning I was hoping to see diverse, monstrous designs instead most of the Animated literally just are repackaged furries except with a different name.

(am reading this off of mangadex and not webtoons so the translated dialogues differ) so this is known as The first night with the Duke/ I stole the male leads first night. Classic Isekai mc gets into a universe of a story she's read and replaces the original female leads position because as the title states she slept with him. This story is kind of a mess, I like the art but the romance involved is just not it. The main characters have a one night stand and the Duke forces her to marry him right afterwards, and she tries different more crazier methods than the last to make him reconsider. It's heavily implied their one night stand happened while she was drunk and the story doesn't hide that he might be just a teensy weensy toxic, it does try to put a sympathetic light on him but the more I read the more he just gets worse imo. It is a trainwreck but I still love watching it happen.

>>119307>>119759Didn't know colorless was on webtoon, i read it some time ago and dropped it because of the hiatus, might check it out again.
Anyways i do have some petty nitpicks, like how almost all characters have pretty much the same formulaic anime hair: longish bangs in the middle, and longer sideburns. Joki, Ace, Meri, Hazel, Andy, and other extras have all the same formula. It's a really weird nitpick, sorry.
Also i think there was some drama with the author? There was a callout post on tumblr some years ago (take it with a grain of salt, it's tumblr after all) saying that the author is a
toxic friend and generally a shitty person (neglected a pet and insults friends behind back among other shit). They also mentioned other petty and irrelevant stuff ("boohoo she likes yaoi") but that was the gist of it.
But yeah the designs are kinda underwhelming. was expecting more monstrous or alien characters, the nurses in the beginning were pretty cool. what a pity.

Anyone here has read The Devil Is A Handsome Man? I'm in chapter 15 and it is one of the most boring and plain webtoons I've read so far, and sincerely at this point I don't really care if it starts "getting good" in the nth chapter or whatever because honestly if you write more than 10 chapters and absolutely nothing interesting happens then you have a pacing problem.
The characters are so one dimensional it makes me want to cry (the receptionist is so far the only character I actually like). The art is a bit better, it's kinda pleasing because of the limited palette, but. Holy shit. 90% of the drawings look like traced stock pictures(however it seems that it does get a bit better in the later chapters). For some reason it reminds me of those Ipad artists' art, like Creepshow art or Omnia KEK.

>>82062>>82062Ok so I know that this is a old post but I want to give my 2 cents about the Light years away comic.
1. If the artist decided to just go along with her comic, it will become a dollar tree version of LO with even worse storytelling and bad humour. I could tell just from just chapter 1 alone that the comic doesn't have a structured storyline behind it and the artist is probably just writing out the entire plot in her head. Her characters also seems very one dimensional. You can tell that her Ocs Earth and Uranus is one of those UwU cinnamon role characters with a DARK SIDE including Venus but making her mature. And the "deep" themes would just make you roll your eyes.
2. Her art is pleasing to look at and she got good character designs. However seeing that the comic is supposed to be fantasy I supposed there would also be action scenes. Given by how stiff the poses look I don't think that would be possible unless she practices.
However, I am glad that she didn't continue with the comic and decided to rewrite it so she can organise it a bit better. Hopefully during this period she can brush up her writing and art skills or hire a writer, so the comic would turn out great. If she didn't improve then will I hope her followers won't be as dim-witted as LO fans, but that seemed impossible considering her insta comments are faker than spam bots. If she does manage to get into top ranking but her comic is written poorly, I may uninstall Webtoon and never use it again.

https://m.webtoons.com/en/drama/deaths-game/list?title_no=1265&page=1&webtoon-platform-redirect=trueHe’s perennially unemployed, his ex-girlfriend has moved on, and he’s just lost all his life savings to a bitcoin scam. Burdened by societal pressures, Yijae Choi decides to take his own life. Insulted by his flippant attitude towards dying, Death comes to punish him with her game: he must experience death over and over again through 13 other lives. But if he can find a way to survive the imminent death coming for these lives, he gets to live out their lifetime. His life was a bust, but what about the lives of others?

I officially gave up on Lore Olympus. Like a lot of other people I enjoy the art style and that's what initially brought me in, but I can't take this shit anymore. She's dragging things out and seems to have no cohesive plot in mind. I used to be in the official Discord run by Rachel herself and I guess a few of her friends were the mods and one of the first things to really get on my nerves was how she plans to give Minthe a redemption. She says that Minthe has bipolar disorder and that's why she's abusive, so she's going to get redeemed.
This was back in like 2019. The majority of the users are batshit older women who are married, some have kids, and while I get that growing up doesn't necessarily mean dropping your hobbies.. this was really unsettling. Especially how they talked. I was legitimately shocked when I saw some of them posting photos of their kids or talking about how they were slacking off of work (the most notable poster I remember saying that worked as a court transcriber) to read the new episode and it was just cringey.
The self-insert is strong though, holy crap. Rachel herself is a vegetarian and she made Persephone be a vegetarian for what reason, exactly? Pigs are sacred to she and Demeter and during rituals, their blood and parts were buried into the soil when praying for a successful harvest. Also, how does animal rights (I guess you could call it that if she's refusing to eat meat?) or diet matter to an immortal being? The same one who, during the chess game with Hades, told him that money doesn't matter BECAUSE THEY ARE IMMORTAL AND DON'T NEED IT.
And why does Persephone need such a victim complex? I can understand being sheltered and naive, as she was in the original mythos, but she doesn't remain that way forever. Its like Rachel didn't read 'Antigone' or anything else containing her where she has just as much temper as any other goddess and there's at least one account of Hades having to be the one to tell HER to calm down.
Someone else itt mentioned that Rachel sent her teen army to attack the creator of 'Punderworld', but I haven't seen that and I would love details. I enjoyed both series, but now I'm officially fully dedicated to 'Punderworld' instead.

>>122845I don't know if what you said about minthe was true, but I agree with the rest of your points. It baffles me how the fan base haven't mentioned anything about the self-insert of Persephone, and the cringy fan base is the reason why I stay far away from it. There is this person on Instagram that analysis LO story and the symbolisms, and they are supposed to be a major in literature? And yet the fact that they never speak up about how bad LO is and always praises it just proves that the hardcore fans are delusional.
At this point I honestly wish LO would just die off already. Or at least more people could criticised it, cause LO definitely does not deserve the no. 1 spot

So I guess now we know why Devil Number 4 ended so abruptly and with a nauseating crescendo of plot points fizzling out. The author is enamored by the yaoi couple they inserted and let derail the main plot for some time, so they killed the comic to reboot it for the fujos.

>>122933It is true though. I was in that server in 2019. I used to be a Patreon supporter when I thought the series was actually going somewhere. Rachel stated that Minthe is getting a redemption, end of story. And the "explanation" for her being an
abusive/cheating craphead is because "she'S BiPoLaR". In case you haven't noticed, Rachel has a running theme with hamfisting mental illness and vague mentions of therapy into the story and then we're just supposed to assume things were taken care of off-screen or whatever.
It was one of the first things that made me consider dropping the comic, but I tried to be optimistic and thought that maybe I could ignore it. There's no reason for me to make this up. I'm pretty upset that it went in this direction. We also weren't allowed to call her (Minthe) a bitch or say anything negative about her without Rachel's mods jumping on us along with tons of other users who would warn you and say that Minthe "just has problems and you only dislike her because she reminds you of the ugly parts about yourself."
As if that isn't totally insensitive, presumptuous, and just fucking batshit. Especially to say to your PAYING patrons. Grown ass adults. A complete mess.

>>122951She has 4 people working with her currently in terms of the art. I realize that isn't much of a team, but to her it seems to be just enough. Unsure of the status of the Netflix/Jim Henson adaptation, as she's likely legally bound to not say anything else. She didn't even announce it to us in the server and we had to find out through the comic-con announcement, which she then admitted was true in a server post and how she had been sitting on the news for a while.
After that, she was only in the server for a little while longer and then she left and we were told it was because of her anxiety or how busy she was or something. Her mods continued to run it and still do. The Patreon was also nuked around autumn of last year and she said its because she doesn't have time to update it anymore.

>>122965No one said we owned them.
Its the fact that its tactless, immature, and irrational for that to have been said. Chimping out because someone doesn't like a character you created (and then going even further to bar any criticism of said character) isn't professional. Its Joss Whedon levels of 'my shit don't stink'.

>>122560I love the pale hose but I had to drop it since I stated reading it when in 2012 and it only recently started getting updates again. the art is gorgeous but some bits of the story made me uncomfortable.
since it was leaning in to the loli bait a little too much I might read it again for nostalgia's sake though.

>>122949The mental health stuff is more of a gimmick than anything, honestly. At least how I see it. Hades is frequently mentioned as going to therapy, but it doesn't seem to benefit him in any way, and he seems to think it's nothing but bullshit. He only starts improving his mental health when Persephone comes into the picture with her Manic Pixie Dream Goddess ways.
On the topic of Persephone's trauma, she really doesn't act like a
victim of rape at all. And I don't mean that her behaviour is atypical of trauma survivors, it's more of she conveniently forgets and is not affected by the events unless Apollo is present in person around her. Not every trauma survivor deals with their trauma the same way, but Persephone really only is affected by it when it gives Rachel an opportunity to show how perfect Persephone and Hades are for each other.
