The Dangerous Convenience Store Manhwa Volume 1 Review

The plot is excellent in the romance camp. Everything that happens is to get Eui-joon and Gunwoo together, and it works pretty well. ― You can read The Dangerous Convenience Store in English two ways. The first is to read it on the manhwa site/app Manta, which has all seventy-five chapters and four bonus stories available.

Villains are Destined to Die Manhwa Review

Well-written, making use of actual game mechanics in ways that benefit the story, Villains are Destined to Die is simply a good series. ― How many times has this happened to you? You're reading an isekai story that takes place in an otome game, but as you go on, you begin to realize that the story's creator has never played an otome game. Maybe it's the weird way they talk about game mechanics, or ma...

True Beauty Manhwa Volume 1-3 Review

True Beauty is the newest addition to the category of media I think of as "I know it's popular, but I really don't see why." ― I've gotten the feeling that part of my reaction to True Beauty may be due to unfair expectations from the English title. The original Korean title, which translates literally to The Rise of a Goddess, may give a more accurate impression. The phrase "true beauty" evokes the ...
