#Villain with a crush

[floralcavern]

I am not ok

But at least I’ve got

[himichako]

need webtoon/manhwa recs! i'm very into the family found trope (especially in fantasy or post-apocalyptic settings) and morally grey characters (and i love when there's a romance subplot). the following list of my favs should give you an idea of what i'm looking for:

homesick

school bus graveyard

not even bones

sable curse

villain with a crush

purple hyacinth

unordinary

trapped

dreaming freedom

anyway so i’m rereading Villain With a Crush / Pure Villain and noticing some parallels between Han Doryeong (pictured left) and Tesilid (pictured right). hear me out for the next (checks watch) uhhhhh,

so both of them could be considered the face of their institution (doryeong more so since he’s practically a celebrity, tesilid on account of him being the Wielder of the Holy Sword)

both were taught and conditioned (?) from a young age— doryeong got his abilities as a newborn and was IMMEDIATELY on the special police radar because he was super strong. tesilid was taken in as one of the sacred sheep as a little orphan child and branded with the stigmata.

both of their powers exceed those around them (doryeong: woah, TWO POWERS?? tesilid: seven deadly sins and heavenly virtues let him power up)

ultimately, they are both somehow victims of their institution. doryeong’s been the best special officer practically since he was old enough to walk. he’s always been the hero, always been the people’s bastion of hope. for the longest time, he’s been burdened with the knowledge that if he ever falters or shows weakness, the people around him will lose their faith in the special police force. he has to win every battle / save every person / etc / etc. all the while, he’s haunted by the question: if he’s ever in danger, who will come to save him? now objectively tesilid has it worse; his childhood was stolen by the vatican treating him like a weapon and a tool to their own ideals. his hands were stained red with the blood of people that the vatican branded as heretics, inhuman, people that weren’t people at all but evil things meant to be purged. his morality struggled against the path he was forced into (it only gets worse during his regressions, of course).

both of them put on façades. for one reason or another, they have to act like pure, upstanding people (who are NOT undergoing a single mental health crisis, thank you very much). doryeong because he can’t let the public down despite his own fears (see above), tesilid because he feels he can’t risk showing that side of himself to ailette (because of that #sweet fear of rejection)

and both of them eventually meet a person (rosa, ai) who sees them as they are (debatable but it’s about the effect not the intention) and is powerful enough to protect them. when doryeong is in danger, who will protect him? rosa, who shatters an entire building headed straight for his face. tesilid forever wishes for a healer? no worries, ailette was studying a decade specifically for this. after forever being the hero now it’s THEIR turn to get deus ex machina’d. they don’t have to be the strongest person in the room or a smiling cutout. they have a chance to experience new things! smile genuinely! perhaps even… be a little bit jealous for once?? damn i never knew they had it in em.

doryeong and tesilid are different characters with different experiences and vibes. they’re not even set in remotely similar worlds. still, it’s difficult for me to not spot the similarities when they encompass so many tropes/archetypes i love (e.g. guy experiences genuine compassion for the first time, 10 dead, 27 injured)

HELP

[gentrychild]

For the three French people following me, please go and read Villain With A Crush on webtoon. It’s about a girl who wants to confess her feelings to the super hero who saved her but she is so unlucky that she keeps being mistaken for a villain trying to kill him.

Time for the mid-year Webtoon recommendation list!!

This is gonna be the top 5 list and as yall know, these are my personal recommendations based on what I read.

Honorable mentions:

Float

I Thought My Time Was Up!

Here U Are

5: The D!ckheads

This is a coming of age story centered around three high schoolers. A new kid, an outcast, and a jock. Everything is not what it seems with our main characters and let's hope they're all able to find solace in each other before they tear each other apart.

This is a new series on Webtoon and I absolutely love it. It explores some darker themes that are present in some everyday lives while also having some of the best comedy I have seen on webtoon in awhile. The art style is fun and color it never fails to catch my attention. This is a good new read if you're just getting into webcomics and still a bit hesitant on what you like.

4: Boy-friend's Rule

High school is tricky. Having a crush on your best friend in high school is trickier. Trying to move on from having a crush on your best friend after he tells you he likes someone and then thinks that you have a crush on another friend of his is probably the hardest thing imaginable.

I absolutely love this Webtoon. It gives me Odd Girl Out vibes that I love. The art style is amazing and the characters are absolutely adorable. The story is so cheesey but also so good it makes it an easy read. The characters are also incredibly relatable and make it easy to fall in love with them.

3: Villain With A Crush

Being a fan of someone or something is one of those little pleasures in life. Until that little pleasure turns you into a cop and a terrorist at the same time.

This is such a fun story and idea I'm obsessed with it. The MC is so fun and I will fight the world for her she's so cute. A bit of a longer series but still amazing and an easy read. The story flows nicely and I can't remember how many times I got stuck in binge reading this one it's so good.

2: The Mafia Nanny

The mafia has taken everything from her. Her home, her family, her childhood. She vows to take down the family that did this to her. Yet what is she to do when the family that ruined her life is now the one that she has to protect?

Another newer story on Webtoon but still an amazing read. It definitely dives into darker topics so please be aware of that when reading it. However, this story is still so cute and amazing. If you like Spy x Family then you will love this.

1: Viral Hit

Even if I'm weak... Even if I'm a coward... Even if the world has it out against me... I will fight these bullies!

This is such a good story. It's by the same creator of Lookism but honestly, this story is so much better to me. The characters feel more fleshed out and the story doesn't drag on. It actually just recently ended and is now getting an anime adaptation. Honestly this story has some of the best characters I have seen in awhile. Even the side characters get such fleshed out stories without feeling like the story is dragging out. This story is definitely darker and explores a lot of different themes so beware while reading. Thus is a very good binge read tho so please check it out!
