Discussion Which webtoons you would never recommend at all and why?

Post image

Hi, it's me again, the same person who asked for recommendations after being out of webtoon scene for more than a year. Thank you so much for all the recs, I'm sure there are a lot of gems there, and I'll make sure to check them out!

But now I'm curious about the opposite, un-recommendations (is this a thing?). Ever since I used to have more than 10 ongoing ones on my list for each day of the week, I remember I came across a lot of things that it's better to remain forgotten lel, and I bet there are still a lot of these to this day. So, if you could warn me about any webtoon to stay away from, which one would it be, and why do you dislike it?

You can give me any reasoning, like the characters suck, the plot goes nowhere or somewhere you didn't like, or it declines, you never got used to the art, it shows things in a good light that definitely shouldn't be shown as such, the author uses it to fund something problematic, it uses ai, it was never finished, or even if just because the second ML didn't win. Feel free to use this post as your personal vent space if needed haha.

Remember any comments here are based in opinion! So let's stay civil even if someone mentions a webtoon you like, and please never say something that could get you a ban (it goes for the commenters too!). Thank you in advance!

That comic pissed me off so much. I grew up reading Archie comics. And yes they’re not masterpieces and not everyone’s taste, but I didn’t enjoy seeing all the characters just made into kind of the worst versions of themselves. Idk it just kind of sucked

Agreed, you summed up what I feel. I was so disappointed, i’m mad I wasted coins on it in the beginning too.

its not that difficult though, the comics are so tropey and simple but have such distinguished characters that its pretty easy to make some sort of plot. and even if it was hard, the choices they made for each character, plotpoint, and dumb ass talking points is actually bewildering as to how they even formulated this whole idea. even riverdale was more true to the spirit of the comics than this webtoon lmao

Sad to have to give such high praise for the bar in hell that riverdale was lmao
