SPOILER ALERT!!
In my opinion, it has great potential but is managed in the worst possible way. The first 20 chapters are interesting, but then it goes into a steep decline that I've never seen in other manga/manhua/manhwa.
Chapters: 51.
Question to my past self: what did you expect from a 51-chapter WebToon? What can I say, definitely not much. Generally, 51 chapters are only the first season.
Drawings/Graphics:
Considering that this is the artist's first work (at least I couldn't find any further information on the internet), I must admit that I appreciated the drawing style.
Story:
Here we touch on the most painful issue of all: the plot. It's too fast!
The premise is this: Ko Sehee develops a smartphone game (Land of Destiny) as a hobby. Her colleague Choi Yuri sees its potential and decides to publish it.
The problem? She passes the game off as her own idea and product. The real creator, therefore, becomes a ghostwriter.
During an argument, they both meet a nasty end, crushed by a shelf in the office, and are reincarnated as the protagonist and antagonist of the video game, but with their roles reversed: Ko Sehee is reincarnated as the villain/antagonist of the game (Violeta), while Choi Yuri becomes the sweet and loving protagonist (Lily).
From here, stories involving various romantic interests SHOULD develop, as the video game is a dating sim - reverse harem.
After all this introduction, take everything and gradually break it down and throw it in the trash, because this is where the enormous problems of such a rushed plot begin.
I don't even know where to start, from here on out it will all be SPOILERS!
- The love interests are not interested in Lily. They are directly interested in Violetta.
- No one notices that Lily has COMPLETELY changed her personality overnight.
- Similarly, no one talks about the fact that Violeta has become a fantastic person.
- The ending: discarded/trashed data. It pops up out of nowhere just because Lily awakens a magic that had been discarded. Development? 3 chapters
- The fact of two souls in one body. They made Violeta/Ko Sehee seem as if they had accepted each other, but Lily/Choi Yuri did not, with the latter taking full possession. But from what we see in the case of Violeta/Ko Sehee, it seems that the latter has taken full possession, as there are never any scenes that suggest that Violeta's soul coexists.
- Ko Sehee's colleagues never said anything about Choi Yuri taking all the credit? And yet they were both at the meetings, the ideas were Ko Sehee's, and the development was hers.
- A “small thing” that bothered me. Ko Sehee is NOT a ghostwriter. She is the creator of the game: she wrote the story, created the characters, and PROGRAMMED the game. So it didn't take much to expose the deception.
- The fact that Violeta can use other people's magic if certain prerequisites are met is not bad, but it could have been developed much better... at least give an explanation.
Final Reflection:
Would I recommend this manhwa? DEFINITELY NOT ❌.
Would I read it again? DEFINITELY NOT ❌.
