#8 A Break From Lunch

    It is time to finally write a post on something other than food! I like food and all, but a good blog needs balance. I also think I have done enough reviews on shows. For this post, I have decided to switch things about and talk about reading! I, unfortunately, do not have the attention span to read books in the conventional sense. Thankfully, graphic novels and webtoons are a thing! I will give two different web series that can be read for free on a website called "Webtoon," and are currently being worked on right now.

Creator's Mascot

Read Cursed Princess Club
    Fairytales, cute art, a good story, and beautiful music? Yes, that is correct! What makes "Webtoon," a unique website is that some of their comics allow music to play with their story! Welcome to "Cursed Princess Club!" Does that sound like a scary title? Well, it is supposed to be. Though it is by no means a horror story, rather quite the opposite. This is a sweet story about a girl named Gwen. Follow her on her journey of self-love and worth as she meets a club of princesses who have something rather unique about them. Each of them has a curse of some sort and gathers at a summer home in the woods. A support group that exists in a land of magic and fairytales is a reality and no one questions that aspect unless it is about curses. Though at this time it is not said if Gwen is cursed or not, she is nice and has a big heart. I recommend this story if you are tired of cliché and predictable stories, but still, want fairytale art with cute funny characters.

Read Every Thing is Fine

    Don't feel like reading a comedic fantasy? Then let's go with a completely different genre. Welcome to the neighborhood! Everyone is nice, the neighborhoods are lovely, and there is nothing strange with their heads. That is the only thing the creator has let us know so far. Especially because this is a brand new series that updates an episode once a week. Seems suspicious
Creator's Mascot

right? Well maybe; so far everything is a mystery, even the genre. It is assumed to be a mystery/ mildly horror webtoon. I do not like any type of horror, but it looks like the author wants their readers to focus on the mystery. The horror part is used as a plot device to move the story along. There are also guidelines that webtoon creators have to follow, so things can not get too scary anyways. Those of you who are squeamish like I am but enjoy mysteries will most likely be ok reading this. Just a small warning; there is an issue with a dog, but it is censored with shading so it is hard to see and it is only for a short time. Other than that, there is nothing graphic about this comic. I highly recommend this webtoon if you like a mystery with an ominous beginning. 

Just remember:

  1. This is a cool website to learn about, I really like the creative form of digital storytelling that Webtoon provides. These stories sound entertaining and creative! I may have to give them a try when I snag some free time.
