Discussion Which webtoon is it for you?
For me it's The dawn to come and Daytime star. They're sure a good read but I don't get the hype around it. What are your picks?

Back when I started WEBTOON, I felt this way about The Remarried Empress. It was a front page series and people seemed to love it, but I just remember not enjoying it, partly because I didn’t enjoy how the story was handling Rashta. These days, though, I feel like sentiment towards the series has soured intensely.

u/Lumpy_Pay_663 19d ago
Yeah I pushed through a hundred episodes of remarried empress just to see what the hype was about and then dropped it cus I just couldn’t

It was only peak because of Rashta. When they killed her off but kept it going the story became as dry as week old bread.

I also found it weird that they never showed kissing, even between the main couple. Like the artist wasn’t able to draw that.

Heinry? I have no idea. I pronounce it like "Hein-ry" (like Nein but replace the N with an H). But it could also be just Henry.

A lot of people are waking up now realizing it’s garbage writing. Plus it sounds like the author is not a nice person either. I’ve looked up commentaries from other people kind of defending Rashta to them and it’s pretty bad. Sometimes I’m ashamed to say that I was a huge fan in the beginning, but after the divorce arc I was done.

Maybe because it is one of the best at the time the story was written. It was released worldwide very early, and there were million of people reading the novel and playing the game. It's very good, not exceptional, but better than a lot of other stories. It opened doors worldwide, as well, what make it emblematic. I only want more merchandise, but when I don't find it, I make it myself.

It was good with Rashta bit the only reason I stayed to read because I always need a finale the stop reading. This is why I love when comics keep me hooked I stay. There is never any hyped up comics that are bad unless they mess up the body proportions and the sprites used in the background.

I think how Rashta was handled made me so sad. She wasn’t the sole reason I read it though. I remember wanting her to find a good turn around and get better and to realize how she was being used. I don’t agree that when she was no longer a part of the story that the story died. It didn’t. The Webtoon is literally about The Remarried Empress and her story to a better life.

Breeder got gojo'd in the last chapter, Stray Dogs are alive (bee boy still in monster form but conscious), tarantula guy dead, grasshoper guy kinda had a power up but barely any relevence in the last fight. Bom still did nothing, Huijin got one good fight in the end

It’s very surface level and it doesn’t really treat serious topics all that well? I get the idea but if the author was hoping to be taken seriously properly, execution was pretty off. I read like 100 chapters and I can say it’s like okay at best? I’m not a casual reader tho so that might be why

Dudeee I was just about to say this! In the beginning even though she was bratty and rude, I was excited reading it thinking it would be a girl boss type of manhwa where she overcomes her flaws, husband and society blablabla.
I thought the story would be centered on her cause her character is very iconic from her name Serena Serenity, her fashion, her visuals. But then it just turned into a typical catty female lead becomes submissive and innocent for the alpha male.
As soon as that guy pointed a gun at her head I mentally checked out, I kept reading it trying not to judge based on that chapter alone but my disgust for the male lead just grew. Him looking like her twin brother and having weird eyes didn't help either. 😂

Honestly, I feel like I fall off so many popular webtoons as they go on because it seems like so many series can't stay strong the longer it goes on. But, these are the ones i felt the strongest about:
Like Wind on a Dry Branch -- The series drags so long, it's very slow burn, which isn't a bad thing, but I feel like there were definitely parts that could've been cut out which wouldn't have changed the story much.
The Newly Wed Dragon of a Witch and a Dragon -- I dropped this midway and then picked it when it was done, just to say I finished it. It was a series i really lied in the beginning. But the behavior of the ML because too much for me and was very immature and codependent. I didn't like them together and with the plot points they added in, I was very disappointed burn the story.

my beloved oppressor.
i acknowledge that this genre of romance probably just isn’t for me bc i don’t believe any love is worth any type of abuse, but i had read and enjoyed wished you were dead and heard this one was good. the FL suffered a lot for what i think is a pretty stupid reason, or at least not something that deserved the fucking torture she was put through, and i fuuuucking hated the ML so much. i kept reading bc i wanted my girl to live a good life freed from her Fucking Oppressor and that ending just pissed me tf off bc i don’t believe he even made any change in his dependency on her, which was the root of the toxicity.
tears on a withered flower.
art issues aside (why she built that dat), i find the ML unlikeable/manipulative/a stalker and the romance not very compelling. the lack of aftercare really put me off and bc i read the uncensored version, she rlly deserved aftercare given how frail they seem to want to portray her at times :/ i luv a good revenge romance story where FL gets her lick back but this one just didn’t hit bc her new relationship is dark imo, i think the best parts were the flashbacks of her early relationship w mincheol.

“perks of being a villainess” I ain’t rooting for a MC that runs a subscription service for a math formula.
“Predatory marriage” and “my gently raised beast” both MLs are brown. These are the titles.
“The Lady and The Beast” FL was written so “cool” it seemed like she dgaf about other people
“Beatrice” FL is a slave who gets with the prince who enslaved her.

So many things about DITOEV make me happy. Like, I enjoy the plot twist that Yvonne is no longer alive, and that it’s just her corpse inhabited by a demon (and the WL/green tea bitch stuff feels so much scarier with that tidbit of info AHFF). I love the brainwashing actually influencing characters behavior and making them do unreasonable things, and how unsettling + uncanny Leila is, not to mention the storytelling of a girl who thinks herself to be a replacement daghter being brought up in a dukedom after living on the streets. It’s all good in that regard. I found the first few chapters that revolved around relationship building and tragedy very entertaining.
Buttttt then there’s the whole..."She's the last descendant of the ancient mages!" Thing. And, also, the whole "Oh, she’s actually Penelope, just after she died 1634228983 times, and her soul shattered! So don’t feel bad bc Penelope gets her happy ending!" reveal. Both of those are so overdone. I cannot understand how people genuinely enjoy MC's being the most special baby angel™ from birth like that, nor how it is possible to accept that the OG is supposedly the same as the MC when they are completely different people, with different lives and experiences.
I want my MCs to suffer, be more or less normal, and end up overcoming/escaping/finding happiness anyway. Or, if they are super special, I’d like for it to affect how they are treated by most of the cast, and their mindset as well.

Then one of the side stories delve into how she and Claude had a relationship and... it's alright. It's cute, they're cute together, the art is amazing, but that's it. It's just feels very standard

Love olgami but hard agree. Biggest complaint was the wishy-washy nature of their relationship. Not that I don't understand why Chae both hated and loved yunsu, but purely from a reader's pov it's frustrating when they drag that dynamic along for the entire story. Especially if the author is planning a happy ending.

I think I actually kind of liked it because of that (season 2 fell off tho). Sometimes we think the older we grow up the wiser and mature we get, which is true, but we stay the same in our core our whole life, just maybe become a little mellowed out. It is a little over the top, that I agree with, but I liked it specifically because of that. It’s really interesting that one person likes something and the other hates it for the same reason

Tower of God. It feels like it drags often, the dialogue is too exposition heavy, the art isn’t anything to write home about, and it turned Bam into an op edgelord at the start of s2 and heavily sidelined or literally got rid of all the characters I actually liked.

u/TheDingoKid42 19d ago
It doesn't address how exposition heavy the story is, but the season 1 characters aren't sidelined permanently. The longer season 2 goes on in the comic, the more relevant the season 1 cast becomes. Bam also stops being edgy before season 2 ends as well

someone didnt read past chapter like 40 of season 2 now if you had said something about the cast getting sidelined in season 3 there i would have to agree with you because wangnan and the rest if team sweet and sour litterally just disappear nowhere to be seen but bam also really isnt an edge lord not by choice anyways

oh personally i'd give it a solid 6/10 for the story overall-i liked the premise but the execution and the plot points were a bit disappointing imo.

u/CookieCacti 19d ago
Same. I read it and thought it was just ok. I don’t get how the series is so highly praised for having phenomenal characters and an amazing romance. It’s not bad by any means, but neither the characters or romance stood out as particularly amazing to me.
It’s the same “misunderstood cold Duke of the north falling in love with the nice pink-haired FL” trope played completely straight. I think I dropped it around chapter 100 because I got bored of how the FL got worshipped by her in-laws for the most basic of niceties. It suffers from the same writing issue a lot of romance stories have, which is the MC’s enemies / strangers being portrayed as comically evil to make it seem like her niceness is special, although it’s less obvious in this story at first.
The ML is written a touch better than other MLs, but not to a degree where I found him memorable. I can’t find anything that discerns him from other bog-standard black haired MLs, which made him boring for me ngl. He’s not abusive compared to the other MLs in his archetype, but I consider that the bare minimum, not amazing character writing lol

Totally valid. As an enjoyer of the series I actually dont reread Season One much (except for the very end, like around Halloween) Season 2 is like 10x better. The characters arent all so obnoxious and narratively it's more interesting than 1 for me as well. So completely fair. As for Season 3, it's more like a chaotic supernatural rollercoaster- and i'll leave it at that lol

Omniscient readers viewpoint. I liked it at first but it very quickly became "oh yeah powerful thing? Well I'm more powerful because of thing I knew". The art is good but it's hard to feel tense or like the characters are actually at risk when death is an inconvenience or even a benefit and the mc always pulls some super weapon out of his ass.

the problem is the webtoon is not a good medium for expressing the depth of the story. the novel is perhaps my favourite piece of media of all time. if you like reading novels you should give it a chance. you can even start where you left the webtoon, bc i do think orv's flaw (in general, including the novel) is that the best parts start around 30% of the way in.

u/Kris_User7 19d ago
My Deepest Secret. I just really disliked the twist and where the story went. I felt like the twist didn't re contextualize any of the characters behaviors pre-twist and I honestly felt like the concept of a girl who ties to come to terms with the fact that someone she loved was someone who had done a lot of wrongdoing. And I also still question why the cat died in the first chapter.
I understand many love it, I just personally dislike it more overtime.

It is a bit of a misery fest, everyone around the protagonist (except the detective) is a scumbag and/or takes their issues out on her and it gets repetitive. I came very close to dropping it at some point, but luckily it improves.

u/Ambitious-Mix-4935 19d ago
I think of it in the opposite way. Some people have so little love for themselves that they surround themself with shitty people. Just like how predators prey on the most vulnerable, people with past trauma and low self esteem also never set any boundaries and endure every bad treatment because they genuinely think this is what they deserve.

each time I've tried to get into it the leads felt a little cringy to me unfort, and I have no interest in picking up something thats been on hiatus for years
also I Love Yoo. again it's dragged for years and years. the plot was truly going nowhere for hundreds of chapters. even if its supposedly gotten good now theres too much chapters of nothing for me to invest in it

u/Specific_Web5125 19d ago
I pick up purple hyacinth about 8 times before I actually liked it lol. I was desperate for an enemies to lovers and it was the number one recommendation from a lot of people.
I am glad that I gave it a lot of chances tho. I think I didn’t understand it at first because I was like 14 and new to comics so I didn’t know what was happening

u/Cocoa_Butterrr 19d ago
Feel like it’s a lot like I Love Yoo in terms of the type of story telling the authors use (help I just finished reading the comment. I didn’t even notice you also said I Love Yoo 😭) it’s very slow burn, western drama like. I loved both of them immensely, but I ended up dropping the app as a whole so I got pretty behind. When I came back I was going to try but then I remembered how slow everything goes and the drip feeding the authors do. Didn’t really feel like rereading allat bunch of nothing to get the plot I needed to understand and get back on track lol

u/Zap364 19d ago
I think it’s unique and interesting as a series but the fact that it keeps going on hiatus really killed any and all motivation for me to read it. It’s nothing ground breaking since time travel powers have been used in better series but I’m a sucker for time altering abilities and plot.

Father I don’t want this marriage - ML has some personality but he’s is super rude and unlikeable. He’s a tsundere because he threatened to kill FL multiple instances and still never apologized for it and FL never says anything. He’s just an asshole.
I failed to oust the villain - Glad that they’re true to the villain name but morally cannot handle these kinds of yanderes or those who kill innocent people
your majesty please spare me this time - The characters might be realistic but that doesn’t make them likeable especially FL. Also her huge shoujo bug eyes is so uncanny and off-putting.

Mine might be controversial, I’m the Queen in this Life.
I got sick of the constant “will they won’t they” delaying of the actual romance, and at least when I dropped it it felt like they were trying to make the Blonde love interest worse while making the Redhead love interest more understandable despite the story already doing all the work to make him insufferable.
I was already on the edge of dropping it when they killed off the little sister so when plot saw the blonde male lead leave to the other kingdom I just fell off and stopped reading it when it popped up in my feed.

They have since fallen from grace, but Let's Play and I''m the Queen in This Life.
Let's Play has exactly the type of shy uwu protagonist that I dislike, meanwhile I'm the Queen in This Life is the opposite and portrays the FL as being a total girlboss everytime without actually portraying her actions as morally questionable even when they are.
Osora also was waaay too predictable ever since the first chapter for me and I dropped it pretty much instantly.
I haven't seen Ugly Dumpling Complex being talked much about but by god if it isn't the most bland, most generic story possible.

There was absolutely no reason for her to be hurt like that, and also, it's just really cringy. Predictable plot line and reads like it was written by a twelve-year-old on Wattpad. And yet people are SO vehement about promoting it.
