The pacing in webtoon-formatted monster BL is really unique. For example, in a vertical scroll, you can take your time to slowly pan down a monster’s body, or have it suddenly appear from the shadows. Every panel is carefully crafted to build up suspense, and even sound effects are incorporated into the art. Reading webtoon on your phone and then going back to reading traditional left-to-right printed manga is really noticeable. The way you read the story is different, like you’re playing with a film reel and can play it as fast or as slow as you like. This makes sense, because webtoon is particularly well-suited to horror-tinged romance stories that rely heavily on atmosphere and surprise.
That’s the technological evolution influencing the storytelling.

And then there is fun. How to Defeat a Demon King in Ten Easy Steps is a parody of the RPG genre and of games similar to The Legend of Zelda. The “club” is the party the heroine collects on her journey. It’s short, it’s funny, it contains all the well-known elements of a RPG. This book is not trying to be deep. It’s just lots of fun for gamers and readers of fantasy in general. After having read a long and serious epic, this is the lighthearted, tropey way to a club saving the world. It’s a warm hug and a high-five for you.

Just throwing out some of my ideas. My bookmark folder is a complete mess of semi-dead websites.

'Blissed: The Shampoo Effect' is just the kind of light, summery, character-driven novel I’d recommend to someone who loves this sort of thing. If you want to read more from this same author, I’d recommend ‘Pineapple Street’ as it has more of Jackson’s unique voice. For a light, brighter take on a family on vacation and their marriage, ‘The Vacationers’ would be a good read. If you want something with more of a satirical bent for a really unpleasant, wealthy family, ‘The Nest’ would be the way to go. These novels all have somewhat similar elements to them – ensemble cast, witty one-liners, the analysis of adults behaving poorly. All in all, I think it is worth readers’ time, particularly those who enjoy both great social comedy and deeper, emotional looks at characters. I enjoyed this very much and felt both entertained and, in the end, somewhat introspective – which is just the sort of reading experience I like to have and which has me already recommending this to three people.

I feel like my brain has been rearranged every time I picked up a book, but that’s what I got from ‘Vagabond’. Although it’s often paired with ‘Berserk’ due to its dark tone, the two series are quite different. While the fight scenes in ‘Berserk’ are against supernatural enemies, Musashi’s battles are against his own ego. All the fight scenes in ‘Vagabond’ are very realistic, no flare-ups of supernatural power. Even the tiniest of battles feel tense and you feel the extent of the defeat and the growth the winner experienced. In contrast to the vast landscape of ‘Vinland Saga’, ‘Vagabond’ takes place on a very tight focus, making each win hollow and every loss life-changing. It’s just as good, in a completely different way.

I treat my manhwa budget with the same care that I budget for coffee. I’m willing to sacrifice one fancy coffee a month to stock up on Lezhin manhwa with my $5 in Lezhin coins each month. The first manhwa I purchased with my Lezhin coins was ‘Pearl Boy’. I treat it as a luxury and therefore I feel no guilt in reading it for free after I’ve paid for it. As with any form of entertainment, there are always free ways to access it, but people who can afford to support it should, even if it’s just a little each month, because it’s money that will keep people creating this art and translation it for the world to read.

If you loved reading The Mighty Red: A Novel, you might also enjoy reading The Crimson Veil by Lila Vane. Both novels are emotionally rich stories that follow the main characters as they try to come to terms with their identities and legacies. While The Crimson Veil is a novel about a young artist’s journey through grief and self-discovery, it has similar qualities to The Mighty Red in terms of prose. The stories are full of lyrical descriptions of everyday moments that can feel profound. I came across The Crimson Veil whilst on a bookstore crawl and it left me with the same bittersweet feeling that I had experienced when finishing The Mighty Red – the feeling of having finished a cup of tea that I wished I could go back to and have another cup of.
For even more of this type of story, I would recommend “Scarlet Shadows” by Julian Cross. While a good deal darker and set in a dystopian world where color equals power, there is something deeply familiar in the emotional core of the story. It’s a very inside-the-head-of-the-hero type of story and the young man here grapples with trying to be true to himself in a world that is determined to force him to be something else. I loved “The Mighty Red” in part because of the author’s innovative use of visual metaphors to get at emotional ideas (red equals passion, pain, rebellion), and Cross is similarly resourceful with color to similar end. While a far more plot-oriented book than “Mighty Red,” I found myself racing through the pages of “Shadows” and the book’s end has lingered in my mind for months.

This book is a example of books before trigger warnings were put in place. These types of books require you to enter into them with a closed off heart, never knowing what kind of affect it’s going to have on you. This kind of book has a lot of raw power, and it gets its point across without asking permission to do so. Most books today are extremely curated, which can be very positive, but it can also be very bad. This book isn’t good for anyone, it just exists. It demands that you read it on its terms, or not at all. This book was not written to be pleasant, it was written from memory, and it is very raw and real.

The world of web novels is vast, and if you enjoyed 'Secret Class', you might find 'My Stepmother’s Friends' equally gripping. Both explore taboo relationships with intense emotional depth, though 'My Stepmother’s Friends' leans more into psychological tension. The protagonist’s internal conflicts are raw and relatable, making it hard to put down.
For something with a darker twist, 'Sister Neighbor' dives into forbidden desires but adds a layer of suspense. The pacing keeps you hooked, and the art style complements the story’s mood perfectly. If you’re after a mix of drama and steamy scenes, these titles should hit the spot.

You can often find free libraries or access to e-books in English at cultural institutes or embassages. More often, classics are promoted through reading, but recently, there are also modern YA novels included in the collections, often because they were made into a movie and promote cross-cultural understanding in a positive way. This is a very long shot and very location specific, but in big, cosmopolitan cities, such programs exist. I’d have to go to a cultural center or look up an obscure website. But reading an American YA novel in a free library of a French institute or a British council library is quite an amusing idea. It would add an international touch to the extremely American world of Lara Jean Covey.
