Some More Webtoons to Devour
As the leaves begin to shed and temperatures cruise lower than ever, Winter marks one of the best times of the year for bibliophiles, or any reader in general.
We are given a free pass to stay inside with our coziest blankets and a mug of warming drinks and catch up on some much-needed reading.
That’s what I’m doing 😉
And it’s been a while since I last posted my first webtoon recommendation list, so obviously I needed to do part 2.
Here are some of the best and coziest webtoons to read during this special time
The Wolfman of Wulvershire
Genres/Categories
Mystery, Crime, Romance, Fantasy, Humor
Triggers Warnings
Gore, Assault
Synopsis
Lady Carina would rather be single forever than become a baby factory for any man. So when she shows up at the Duke of Wulvershire’s annual Spring Fling wine and dine, everyone is taken aback — but not as much as the ensuing series of murders!
Will Carina survive, and, more importantly, will she find herself a handsome husband? But … what if he’s hiding the worst secret of all time?
My Thoughts
A sassy female lead who doesn’t take sexism and egoism from anyone—Check.
A sexy male lead keeping secrets of his own—Check.
The right balance of violence, mystery, and mayhem—Check, check, and check.
What more could you want?
I Love My Cyborg
Genres/Categories
Sci-fi, Romance
Trigger Warnings
Gore, assault
Synopsis
When Hazel falls for the handsome but sullen Clive Westdale, she has no idea he harbors a dark secret. Now she must assist him in escaping the clutches of an evil doctor whose work blurs not only the line between man and machine but also between life and death!
My Thoughts
I Love My Cyborg is probably one of the weirdest webtoons I’ve read. I mean, the title says it all. I can’t say anything more than that. Just read it, fellow bookworms 🙂
The Wrath and the Dawn
Genres/Categories
Fantasy, Retelling of the Arabian Nights, Romance
Triggers Warnings
Murder, suicide, manipulation, death.
Synopsis
Every night, Caliph Khalid takes a new bride, only to have her executed at sunrise. So Shahrzad’s willingness to marry Khalid comes as a surprise.
However, Shahrzad has devised an ingenious plan to not only stay alive but also to put an end to the murderous King’s reign of terror once and for all.
My Thoughts
The Wrath and the Dawn is an Arabian Nights retelling. I used my daily fast pass on these series and all the coins I had to unlock further episodes because it is incredible.
Probably one of the truest uses of the enemies-to-lovers trope because our main leads are actually out for each other’s blood but soon find themselves warming up to each other.
I loved witnessing that journey from the first episode when both their walls were up high, but slowly they started crumbling down.
If you want a fantasy with a high-stakes plot and lots of action, this one’s for you.
Going Up
Genres/Categories
Romance, Comedy
Trigger Warnings
Infidelity.
Synopsis
Cece may only walk dogs now, but she aspires to join the world of high fashion with her one-of-a-kind and stunning designs.
With barely enough money for materials, let alone rent, she’ll need a miracle in the form of a lost dog to provide her with the chance of a lifetime.
Will she finally achieve her goal, or will a new passion inspire her to pursue new dreams?
My Thoughts
Going Up is just plain cute.
If you find yourself in need of comical relief and a romantic buffer between all my other recommended webtoons on this list, read Going Up.
It’s going to make you very happy!
Zatanna and the Ripper
Genres/Categories
Crime, Murder Mystery, Romance, Magical Realism
Trigger Warnings
Serial murders, gore, assault, kidnapping, manipulation
Synopsis
On her 21st birthday, Zatanna Zatara, the world’s most talented magician’s assistant, is attacked and defeated by a mysterious sorceress.
Before the final blow is delivered, her father, Giovanni, casts his spell, warping his opponent’s magic and throwing Zatanna out of the frying pan and into the garbage bin.
In the year 1888, Zatanna arrived in Whitechapel, London. She soon discovers Jack the Ripper, a serial killer roaming the city’s streets.
Unable to return home and certain that the supernatural killer has answers, Zatanna joins the denizens of Whitechapel and one John Constantine in pursuit of the Ripper.
My Thoughts
Who wouldn’t want to time travel to the era of a notorious, bloodthirsty serial killer in London?
Me. I wouldn’t want to do that.
But I have no problem reading about it!
Zatanna and the Ripper has everything you could want in a fantasy/mystery webtoon. There’s chaos (which for me is a complete must in this genre), a mild romance, wild sleuthing, and then some.
Not to mention, Zatanna is a crazy spy. I wouldn’t want to be her enemy.
Winter Woods
Genres/Categories
Fantasy, Romance
Trigger Warnings
Sexual assault, kidnapping, emotional abuse, manipulation, ableism
Synopsis
Winter was created by an alchemist thousands of years ago. Winter agrees to live with writer Jane in exchange for telling her his story.
Winter learns the meaning of being human through their interactions, and Jane, without realizing it, begins to see a man who has changed her life in more ways than she could have imagined.
My Thoughts
This webtoon is by the creator of my favorite fantasy webtoon, Mystical.
I’ve mentioned Mystical in this blog post here, do check it out!
If Mystical is a chocolate pastry, Winter Woods is a whole chocolate cake. It is overflowing with mutual pining, mystery, suspicion, and sometimes even sadness.
It’s a webtoon you can read again and again. And of course, the art style is magical—very fitting for the title and plot.
