I love MC so much 😭

by ohkimch
6 years ago

Rating: 10.0 / 10.0

Reading status atm: chapter 50.

First of all, the creator has serious comedic talent. The way they set the scene and then draw the expressions just. Slam my funny bone. In a pleasant way, of course. Though I have to admit a contrast b/t beautiful, lush, sparkling shoujo art and horrific meme faces always gets a giggle out of me.

I also really love how the main character has been shaped, apart from the male “love interest(s)”...which is...prob because she doesn’t really have any blatant love interests. At least. Not for a long while. Like, if you’re looking for Romance, I might not rec this to you, as it is one of the slowest burns I’ve read in a long time, and any obvious romance so far has been b/t the MC’s Main Character friend and the other man. But. There have been hints. That’s all I’ll say about that.

All in all, the art, the humor, and characterization have all been so great. I can’t wait to see where the author takes those shady moments/facial expressions the MC doesn’t see, but the readers (obviously) do.

Romantic comedy with emphasis on comedy

by suki_san
6 years ago

Rating: N/A

It's quite tongue-in-cheek, and makes fun of a lot of "isekai" cliches that are very common these days. It's a great read for some light-hearted laughs.

The set up is that the main character considers herself the "bystander" in a world where there is a "heroine" and three ridiculously handsome "love interest" men. Unlike many other series that have a "bystander" main character, this one actually maintains her "bystander" role throughout much of the series. She does not suddenly steal the affection of the 3 men from the heroine. She does not meet some mysterious 4th man who steals all the spotlight. She seriously spends much of the series watching the "plot" unfold, while getting mixed up in it in some pretty hilarious ways.

It's actually quite interesting to see her relationship with the other 4 characters (the heroine and the 3 love interests) develop. It's not just cut and dry "the men fall in love with her, leaving the heroine all alone." It's much more than that. And that's why I appreciate this as a series.

In case you are here for romance, though... fear not! Romance exists. It's just a REALLY REALLY SLOW BURN.

Parody!

This webtoon is so funny. If you have been around the block on isekai manga/webtoons this is a breath of fresh air because it makes fun of all the tropes (reverse harem, dense girl, love at first sight, evil anti-protagonists) I love the art and the heroine is pretty good.

One of my Favs right now

by Ray.Scarlet

Rating: N/A

Summary: <This one really takes long to get rollin'.. like a late bloomer! But once you give it a (long) chance, the story starts to change drastically. Yes it does have some jokes that are a bit too far fetched and there are many chapters on the way that aren't all that exciting, but once you still give it a chance it will surprise you!>

It's a bit like a roller coaster.
First it's very interesting, then it get's really funny. Then the jokes got on my nerves because they were the same all the time. But then some things in the story started to slowly change, I think (if I recall correctly) you need to get past 60 or 70 chapters for it to start changing gradually and you will suddenly have that "oh my gosh!" moment. And then some of the jokes get you rolling because that's just the way the mc is (I really accepted her as a person). And it starts to get very interesting how the story will unfold.

romantic parody with beautiful art

by camilleon
5 years ago

Rating: 9.9 / 10.0

This is the most realistic version of this trope I have ever read. If the main character is such a fan of this story she's in of course she would fangirl over everything like that... I love that she basically tsukkomis all of the cliche scenes she witnesses, but still loves watching them. Yes there is definitely romance in this comic no doubt, but the overused cliches that happen in the background "main story" are always pointed out very sarcastically. And even though the main character sometimes finds herself in these cliche situation it almost always turns into a comedic situation.

I wouldn't call this a true satire since it doesn't really criticize the genre, rather it subverts it for fun and it works. Nothing is taken too seriously the few important situations have more weight.

Also even though this is very comedic and there are chibis thrown in the general aesthetic of the comic is beautiful. Would recommend.

(The only reason I'm not giving this a full 10 is because I still don't know how the romance will play out, if it doesn't end up being very cliche I will update my rating to a 10, I believe in you author, fighting!)

Comedy

by Minrei

Rating: 10.0 / 10.0

It's mostly comedy. The mc would probably be us poking around the scenes and characters to have a good laugh at the stereotypes present in stories like finding that one girl interesting because she wasn't interested at you at first site or encounter when a character is in danger after innocently trying to help a bird.

There was a scene which shocked me since this is a comedy

showing how the duke felt with all his crazy stalkers, because men also suffer from such harassment. I was touched how the author casually slipped this to remind us that THIS is how crazy "fangirls" look like while obsessing over someone.

There is romance. Yes. Just really slow burn
And I dare say

the magician is best suited for mc

Isekai (almost a parody thereof), Multitude of Facial Expressions, Fangirls

by Jerberus
4 years ago

Rating: 10.0 / 10.0

This manhwa is one of the funniest tsukkomi's (pretty much almost a parody of the isekai genre) that I've read so far. The random fugly facial expressions add so much to the humor, not to mention all of the references to different Japanese manga thrown about from the female lead, who was isekai'ed from Earth and put into the body of a tertiary character (as the title suggests). A fan of the novel the new world is based on, she knows of the events that will happen to the female protagonist, so she goes to each place as a spectator...only to change the flow of the story by being able to emphasize with others through knowing/learning their background.

The story's emphases are on popcorn, 3D blue/red movie glasses, magic that makes one float/fly/teleport, and 3 male leads that seem disinterested in/mean toward women. I repeat: those random faces that they make are hilarious (albeit often ugly for the sake of humor).

I laugh so much at how this story makes fun of the isekai genre while having a plot that makes total sense in regards to relationships between characters, and even points out the horror of fangirls and stalkers and how that affects famous people. It uses curse words to create antagony between the characters despite their nobility. The author’s/translator’s naming sense is non-original, but it’s hilarious!

Unique but flawed.

by MondSemmel

Rating: 7.5 / 10.0

There's lots to like about this story, like the ridiculous number of blatant pop-culture references and fourth-wall breaks, and Latte's embrace of her role as a spectator. That said, while the story does some neat deconstruction of romance novels, it's also incredibly meandering. In addition, it falls prey to some of the very flaws it makes fun of, and I ultimately wasn't impressed with the conclusion of the story. Also, while the 30-chapter epilogue was okay, the 9-chapter side story felt pretty pointless.

Anyway, regarding these flaws. Firstly, Ibelin:

Ibelin never receives sufficient characterisation or character growth. That's the whole point of the main story, but the execution still feels weird; and it makes little sense for the story to blame Ibelin for being a bad friend to Latte, when Latte was no different to Ibelin; neither tried to understand the other.

Finally, Latte helped multiple other characters grow, but somehow didn't do so for Ibelin, even though the epilogue would've been the perfect place to do so. Instead, we're left with her remaining a disappointing non-character, which leaves a glaring hole in the otherwise pretty self-aware story.

Secondly, Arwin:

As is common in such stories, the bad boy is the love interest. In my eyes, the story never managed to sufficiently reconcile the teasing bad boy from the mass murdering bad boy. For instance, I was put off when a villainess attempted to murder Latte, and Arwin retaliated not just by killing her, but by putting her in an eternal torture scenario. And at other occasions, Arwin playfully suggests to Latte that he'll destroy the world if she comes to harm, which is not actually romantic once you think about it.

Finally, regarding the notion of undeserved protagonist bonuses:

The story criticizes Ibelin for getting things handed to her as the passive protagonist, but Latte spends most of the story trying to be the passive spectator and nonetheless gets thrown into the protagonist limelight, including getting attention of all the love interests.

Pure parody...

by kujika

Rating: 9.0 / 10.0

... it makes fun of the clichés of this genre a lot. The quality picks up after a while. Art wise it always looks good but the more interesting character interaction happens later on.
Got some really fun moments and the main lead turns out to be quite likeable. It's a slow burning series so read at least 20 chapters to be sure about liking it or not.

one of the best comedy, romance manhwas

by Marigoldkiss
4 years ago

Rating: 10.0 / 10.0

I wasn't actually interested in reading this first but the title got me and I tried it. Wow, god damn I got addicted even without knowing. The comedy and references are the best. And of course romance, it's really slow-burn but worth waiting. Also people are complaining about the art style but for me it's really cute. Till now, I have reread this about three times.Earlier chapters are mostly about comedy so some people may not like it. At first I thought I might get bored but then I got addicted. That's why give it a try because who knows, you may need this!
