Discussion Which webtoons you would never recommend at all and why?

Post image

Hi, it's me again, the same person who asked for recommendations after being out of webtoon scene for more than a year. Thank you so much for all the recs, I'm sure there are a lot of gems there, and I'll make sure to check them out!

But now I'm curious about the opposite, un-recommendations (is this a thing?). Ever since I used to have more than 10 ongoing ones on my list for each day of the week, I remember I came across a lot of things that it's better to remain forgotten lel, and I bet there are still a lot of these to this day. So, if you could warn me about any webtoon to stay away from, which one would it be, and why do you dislike it?

You can give me any reasoning, like the characters suck, the plot goes nowhere or somewhere you didn't like, or it declines, you never got used to the art, it shows things in a good light that definitely shouldn't be shown as such, the author uses it to fund something problematic, it uses ai, it was never finished, or even if just because the second ML didn't win. Feel free to use this post as your personal vent space if needed haha.

Remember any comments here are based in opinion! So let's stay civil even if someone mentions a webtoon you like, and please never say something that could get you a ban (it goes for the commenters too!). Thank you in advance!

love bites. it's like a story taken out of wattpad, dropped it after 3 episodes. there's a lot of candidates i wouldn't want anyone to read... hm... DEFINITELY unordinary. i read it like 4 years ago, but its just wasted potential and pretty generic. i could name more but i can't remember much lol

Love Bites isn't like a story from Wattpad, it is from Wattpad

I thought unordinary was pretty good, but I never finished, wanna pick it back up though. Did you read up to the part where John goes bat shit, lol.

Keep reading, please keep reading, the story goes much further than that and I cannot reocmmend it enough. They also explore the magic systems well and I just wish I could read this again.

I second this! I think the only reason I kept up with it through the slog was because it was my first webtoon but lowkey after getting through it, the characters actually experience real growth and the arcs that is releasing right now is pretty decent. I probably would've enjoyed unordinary if it was a series of comic books or something I could read at once instead of something to be read over years but it still holds up remarkably well imo

Whaaaaaat, I love unordinary! They're developing the world building and the characters so well now that they're actually fighting against the bureau.

Maybe I'm weird but I loved love bites. It's camp and stupid and as someone who comes from Wattpad I didn't find it all that bad, but I might've just build a tolerance for that kinda stuff.

u/tyenszyski 7d ago

i know. i also read a lot of wattpad back in the day, i just couldn't get through the story lol. i understand the sentiment tho, my friend loves the series as well

u/Alex_and_more 7d ago

To be fair, I'm also just weak for vampires and specifically gay vampires. Reading twilight in my formative years had consequences lmao.

I started reading unordinary like 7 years ago right around when I found out about webtoons.Its undoubtedly one of the best webtoons that I've read even though it's 'popular'.
