Does anyone use Tachiyomi for Android? It lets you add dozens of sources, including scanlation groups and some official ones. For 'Trapped', for example, you can find it listed by various sources, including some that post the official free chapters on WEBTOON. Note that Tachiyomi is not an app you can find in app stores, it's a GitHub project that you sideload to your Android device. The setup is a bit of a kerfuffle, but once you've got it up and running, it's an utterly beautiful, ad-free reading experience. It even tracks your progress and notifies you of updates for dozens of series.
The boundaries of ethics for reading on Tachiyomi depend heavily on the source extension(s) that you use to read. Some extensions simply pull official free chapters from the service in question. Others pull in fan translated chapters that have been locked down by the creator, which has its own set of moral implications. As for the app itself, it’s an excellent, flexible reader for Android that I highly recommend to people who are comfortable with a little tech setup to read all of their comics in one place. Just be sure to find out where the content is actually coming from.

After 20 chapters or so I got bored with Manhwa. At the start the concept of having these ‘monster tenants’ living with humans was cool and I got sucked into the Manhwa straight away. But it’s just been this long string of episodic chapters each one presenting a new problem that is then solved within the chapter, and little or no consequence falling on the characters within the story. It gets pretty tiring after a while. I expect more from my Manhwa than what I’m reading here, tons of Manhwa has just as much, if not more urban fantasy and/or comedy elements. This Manhwa has some ok art but nothing that will have you stop and gaze in wonder at it after a few pages. Perhaps later in the story it develops more into a serialized story, but for now I’m just not interested anymore. If you’re some sort of hardcore fan of Manhwa than I suggest you read it, but for people with limited time to read it there are far better titles to the urban fantasy and/or comedy genres.

Note to readers: I read the fan translations for this a long time ago and they weren’t great, but the official English translation for this series is really smooth and I would recommend reading it on Webtoon to support the creators. Also, the official English translation captures the corporate speak and emotional scenes much better than I could.
The story follows a typical pattern of redemption through a community of people, with Hyunwoo saving a bunch of people and, in doing so, saving himself as well. The various employees that he hires to work at his new company all represent different parts of his own healing process. The story follows a fairly formulaic but satisfying structure, like a completed jigsaw puzzle that makes a beautiful picture.

As far as I know there is no English release for ‘Flowers Are Bait’ yet, so you would have to read the fan translations. This wait for manhwa fans is what inspired me to start reading ‘The Dragon Duke’s Flower’ on Tapas (it’s a completed fantasy romance). The heroine is a botanist of rare magical plants, sent to a distant land to save her family. She is to marry the reclusive Dragon Duke in order to save her family from financial ruin, but in this land of dark magic, she must use her knowledge to keep herself alive. It’s a pretty unique take on the genre.

I think of this as more of a story than a main plot. A mystery that unfolds throughout this slice-of-life type of story. Kang Younghyun does a great job in creating this weird building and then giving us a series of anthology-like chapters where we get to see the different tenants and their stories – a ghost looking to clear up some unfinished business, a goblin running a black market in the building, a human family living next door completely unaware of their strange neighbors. The plot basically follows Younghyun as he tries to piece together the different stories to determine the purpose of the building. His trying to maintain the delicate truce is full of tension, and it appears his past is connected to the building in some way that he’s only just beginning to realize. The artwork is detailed and gritty making every cracked wall and dark shadow feel important.

As I started reading the first chapter of Ch. 1, the art evolved nicely throughout the chapters, especially in the latter ones. Detailed backgrounds, improved panel compositions and smoother character movements were some of the notable improvements. I especially liked how the artist of Ch. 1 grew into the larger-than-life battles that required epic movements and stances. Moreover, an improved character pose, once stiff, became dynamic and fluid. The detailed and cinematic art really added a lot of value to the storytelling and enhanced the impact of key plot points greatly. If an adaptation were to be made to this manhwa, I think it would actually be better than the source material in terms of sheer spectacle.

This is a buddy comedy. A gruff smoker is paired with a hyper cheerful health nut of a roommate who forces him into a quit or die contract. The ridiculous dynamic between these two odd birds is the volume of the film. Meanwhile the comic attempts to sneak smokes and fail, while his obnoxious roommate continues to come up with stranger and stranger ways to prevent him from smoking (e.g. motion sensors on balcony, dye packs in cigarette containers). But beneath the jokes is a real and satisfying story of friendship and the accountability that comes with it. This is the lightest take on quitting I have ever seen. Instead of isolating the smoker in his suffering, he’s forced to go through it with his increasingly weird roommate.

Be aware that some of these “free” reading sites are very malicious. My friend recently got a nasty browser hijacker from one of these sites. It was a pain to clean up from, and it had a lot of pop-unders, fake download buttons, and even some redirects to phishing pages.
This means you must use private browsing, and even then be extremely careful – better open up a special browser which you only use for these shady websites and never log into online banking, shop etc. Even with a repulsive ad blocker like uBlock Origin, reading on these “free” websites is simply too risky for me.
It’s worth the few coins to support the digital book industry and download a high-quality reading app for your mobile device. The cost of an app is a small price to pay for the peace of mind and protection of your device and self.

This also ties into an earlier point. While the central plot is a romance, the main message of the story is that there are many ways to find fulfillment, and being single is just as good as being in a relationship. I liked that some of the side characters ended up single but happy as well. One of the friend characters in particular had a really sweet arc where she discovered self-love and was working to advance her career, and she ended up single but happy, which was really nice to see. This story does a great job of showing a realistic world where not every character is in a romantic relationship by the end, as so many romance novels do. It’s a small thing, but a really powerful and sweet touch to this otherwise great story.

I’ve been reading a web novel called ‘Fated to Love You’ by which this manga could be based. It’s a story about a contract marriage that was originally supposed to be for one night due to a mistaken one-night stand. The real fun in the story comes from how the two protagonists’ lives continue to get entangled through a series of random encounters and all the meddling of their families. The sense of the two people being forced by fate into dealing with each other time and again is relentless and almost comedic, given how different they are.
