Just came across it on webtoon and after 80 or so chapters, Everywhere and Nowhere is pretty good story wise. Neat time travel / historical fiction stuff.

Oh, so this is where discussion about Eleceed happens, huh? Makes sense.
I will never stop being amused at them boys being so pretty readers just assume it's BL.

I hope it continues exactly as it has been, with Jiwoo's growing love-polygon and no sign of BL, until the epilogue consists entirely of Jisuk and Wooin making out.

I mean they've pretty clearly had a love interest in mind for him for the past like...40 chapters? Everyone else is just platonically in love with him.

In Korean yes.

Still quite a bit off in the official English.

I did not expect 'Random Chat" to be as interesting as it was.

High school character development stuff, occasional romance. Mostly about bullying / feeling isolated and reaching out to others on anonymous social media to fill that gap and a lot of the downsides of doing that. Nothing terribly deep etc but the characters get very interesting pretty quickly and you can't help but root for some of them to come around and become good people as they grow up.

Yeah it's a fun one. I fell off it a while back because I get second-hand social anxiety like crazy and reading it week to week was, uh, excruciating, but I hope those crazy kids don't gently caress each other up too badly.

So I started reading "God, Please Make Me a Demon!" and I have been pleasantly surprised how good it is. The art is good and the humor hits me just right. Basically a high school drama, except the main girl is a demon that has to do good deeds to get her Demon powers back. She is my favorite kind of meddler, just always sticking her nose in everything and somewhat clueless about social norms, and her side kicks work well with her. It has been a nice change of pace from the more serious or action focused high school stuff I have been reading.

It's not at 50 chapters yet but I Swear I'm Not the Demon God's Lackey is solid, solid, solid. (well if you replaced action with intrigue)

Peerless Dad is great, especially early on. It's not bad now per se, just got more complicated plot stuff going on that has been slow burning. One of my favorites though.

This is the post that makes me realize that webtoon isn't just a generic name for online comics you scroll down in a continuous manner to read.

So I have no idea.

Good series I've picked up recently :

1) Trash of the Count's family. I like it because the MC is rude but not an rear end in a top hat. He's got a foul mouth and will act like trash but in reality he's kind of a pushover who cares for people even if he talks like a dick. He has cute kittens that are also kids and gets a dragon buddy and I enjoy it.

2) The Lazy Lord masters the Sword. I like it because the MC gets a cool puss-in-boots master and is about to go on a fun journey to be an incredible badass. The MC's kind of got this incredibly bland personality but he's slowly coming around and becoming more interesting over time.

I loving love cats.

Lout of Count's Family is also on there (it's also on Copin Comics but it's nice when you don't have to cross platforms too much): https://www.tappytoon.com/en/comics/lout-of-counts-family

Peerless Dad was localized as Father, Unrivaled and is on Tapas:

Fair warning about trash of the counts family, it is based on a light novel that is still ongoing and at almost 800 chapters, so don't expect a conclusion any time soon. I enjoyed Father, Unrivaled, but I wish it kept being about dad stuff instead of going into political stuff. I have no idea what the plot is really about now. SSS Class Revival Hunter is another action fantasy series I have been enjoying. It starts pretty cliche with the main character basically getting the ability to revive24 hours before dying, but it goes places, the author ends up changing genres as they explore new worlds, and it is pretty good so far. It is another based on a long light novel though, so again don't expect a conclusion any time soon.

Escort Warrior is some good Sad Old Killer action.

Idk if regression counts as some variation of isekai to you, but if it doesn't, Volcanic Age is decent.

It's the Naver high school cliche.

If you keep upping the power scale then eventually you go from fighting delinquents to fighting gang members, that's just how your average Naver delinquent-based webtoon goes.

I wish I knew if they're freaking out because a) he was faster than he used to be (post-healing power boost?), b) he used his powers when he's supposed to be convalescing, or c) he's interrupted the fight/revealed himself to the outsiders.

I feel like a) is the only option that makes sense for all the characters but I suppose they don't all have to have the same reason. Subin's probably losing it because she's getting princess carried lmao.


Though we find out tomorrow so w/e

I read it as he just did some god tier speed that no one's seen or expected, especially given the reactions of his master and the doctor but I totally see how it could be interpreted the way you describe. Either way I was laughing for a while going through those last few panels with everyone just doing :stare: :catstare: lmao it was so good.

It's a tired ol' shounen trope, but when it's good it's real fucken good :toot:

Kubera through 233: Really, uh, really not too happy about how much more suffering all of this is promising to heap on our protagonist, tbf. Her having Ananta's name as well as Kubera's, that is. Ananta being the universe's sin eater and having two names being slow poison. She's just hosed from like eleven different angles.

Sometimes it feels like the best possible outcome for her is for the universe to end before all of this comes due.

All I want is a happy end for my girl :negative:
