My Life as an Internet Novel
by Yu Han-ryeo
lighthearted
fast-paced
This was such a vapid manhwa...There was so much time jumping that not only did the timeline make little sense by the end, but barely anything even happened. It's mostly this girl running into 'hot' K-drama archetypes.
Except the art is very 3D and seems like it may even be AI, since there are plenty of panels with extra lines on the face, missing noses, and odd colors/shading. Hardly anything of substance is said by any of the characters, and the MC mostly just talks about how unbelievable it is that she's in an 'internet novel'. That, in and of itself, is an indication of the poor translation work that was done. We don't call them Internet novels in English, we call them Web Novels. But the publisher probably couldn't use that name because of the app. In the past, some kind of editing would have happened to make this make sense. For instance, she looks up "internet novel" and nothing comes up? That's obviously a nod to webnovel, but they don't format it as though it's an app...they format it as the standard English words, which most definitely would have had some results.
Overall, this book has poor writing, poor character development, poor editing/translation, and poor art. Nothing is redeemable about this book unless you are truly desperate to see panels of K-drama archetypes doing poses, which is only valid enough to earn 1.5 stars.
