Bluechair, As Per Usual, & Safely Endangered – Episodic Relatable-Style Comics

Published by cfl5615 on March 23, 2023

Another week has gone by, which means it’s time for another blog post. To be honest, this week’s post caught me off guard, and I was unsure what to write about for the past two days (I was also trying really hard to catch up on Tower of God which I’ll have to postpone for now). I tried to reread some completed WEBTOONs, but I don’t have the time to finish them before Friday. So for today, I chose to write about the WEBTOONs that don’t really tell a full story but are more episodic, slice-of-life, and autobiographical in a…

Tower of God – This One’s a Doozy

Published by cfl5615 on March 14, 2023

Spring break really came and went, and for the past week, I’ve been catching up on a WEBTOON that I haven’t read in about two years. It is also the one I’ll be writing about today: Tower of God. Tower of God is an action fantasy WEBTOON written by SIU (his Twitter) and has gained tremendous popularity on the website. Beginning all the way back on June 2014 (and still ongoing now, but currently on hiatus), each episode of Tower of God has received over 50,000 likes and many have exceeded the previous 99,999 likes limit. With over 3.3 million…

Happy Spring Break, everyone! If there ever is a time to start reading WEBTOON, a weeklong break is definitely not a bad opportunity. The WEBTOON I’m talking about today is How to Become a Dragon, by eon (who is quite well-known as a WEBTOON creator). It is a relatively new series, as the first episode came out in April 2020 and is still currently updated every Saturday morning. Due to the author’s popularity, How to Become a Dragon had a strong start and now has over 20 million views with a 9.77/10 rating. Though viewership is slowly dwindling, it still…

Another week, another WEBTOON to look at! This week, it’s Love Advice from the Great Duke of Hell, a comic built entirely on its comedy and random humor. Created by unfins, Love Advice was actually a winner of a WEBTOON comic pitch contest in 2018.

The WEBTOON was very successful during its life, especially at the beginning (The first 50 episodes had over 100,000 likes!). It has been viewed over 100 million times and has had 1.3 million readers.…

Welcome back to a new semester of WEBTOON reviews! Today’s post is on Dr. Frost, a mystery comic that has had one of the longest hiatuses in WEBTOON history (at least for the English site). It is also one of the earliest WEBTOONs to be published, with the prologue released on December 27, 2014. Dr. Frost was created by Jong Beom Lee and is still running with weekly updates. As I stated earlier, Dr. Frost was on hiatus for about three and a half years as there was no official English translation for the webcomic after the third season. Once…

Wow, it’s kind of crazy how quickly how fast time is moving; we’re already halfway through the semester and just past midterm season!
