this manhwa is REALLY good. i could not put it down! i kept on pressing "next chapter" because i always wanted to know what happened next, but not in an angsty, terrified way.
in Miss Not-So Sidekick, we follow our leading lady, Latte (or Kim Hye-jung in the real world), who gets teleported into her favorite online novel as a side character. her goal is to watch her favorite scenes play out one by one in person with a bucket of popcorn by her side.
at first glance, it feels like your typical isekai at first, but the humor is wonderful and seriously makes up for the basic plot. Latte, the MC, is so quirky and hilarious to read about! her reactions and interactions with the other characters are incredibly funny. her personality is extremely entertaining, and the situations she gets mixed up in are way too good. she is also VERY GOOD at communicating effectively, something that is rarely found within romances.
i noticed that some of the other reviews claimed they didn't like the art, but how?! i don't understand how someone would dislike it. the colors, mood, proportions, and line art are always so beautiful; definitely one of my favorite art styles i've seen by far.
there are art style changes for meme-y panels, which makes this manhwa SO MUCH FUNNIER. every time they pop up, i get a heart attack from the laughter.
and, my GOD. the men in here are SO DREAMY. HOW THE HELL CAN THEY BE THIS RIDICULOUSLY GOOD-LOOKING?! half the time i was reading this, i was half-whispering, half-squealing, "ohmygodheissohot!" while thirsting with the other side characters. they're so handsome they literally blind everyone in the comic.
if you're a weeb, then bonus points for you, because this author is so weeb-y that they put in anime and manga references any chance they get. there are also korean and international pop culture references, which are hilarious and super relatable.
something that i'm a teensy weensy bit disappointed about is that for the whole story, we were constantly told about the personalities of certain characters, but we were rarely ever shown it. also, the pacing, especially towards the end, is a little rushed, though it's not too surprising. the author could've extended the story for 10 or 20 more chapters; the ending gave enough closure for the main characters, but not so much for the side characters. i definitely would've liked to see more of that.
overall, i can confidently say that this one of my favorite isekai manhwa. Miss Not-So Sidekick is an AMAZING and EXTREMELY worthwhile read, something that all isekai/comedy fans should check out; i swear, every single chapter never failed to make me laugh. i can't wait for you to see where it takes our popcorn-obsessed leading lady!
