Can’t believe I forgot to include Lore Olympus!! It’s in my top 10 GOAT. SO GOOD! I cannot say enough good things about this WebToon. Absolute top tier art, world building and story telling. I’ve cried, laughed, and seethed in anger along with the characters and on behalf of them.
Asspollo needs to fuck off the face of the planet!
Omg the amount of Greek Gods that have forever changed in my eyes because of LO... I can't even see original stories about Apollo without seething now

Right?! The audacity of his flat purple ass to gaslight her and victim shame her! Zeus is not far behind. Him and his entitled ass can shove it. My blood was boiling while I read yesterday’s episode. So maddening aggravating. He was zero sense of loyalty - not to his wife, not to his brothers, not to the citizens of Olympus. When will he grow a pair and take accountability of his actions?! Actions have consequences! Words have consequences! He’s doing a piss poor job of reigning “king”.

I'm behind on it lately because I want to give myself some space from all the life stress before I get violently angry at the actions of little drawings of gods but aaaa yes to all of that even though I haven't read that one yet. I already know these characters well enough to know what you mean. I'm so excited but also nervious that they're looking at making a live action show of it. It will either be amazing or gods awful. Pun intended.
A webtoon I'm really fond of is called 'The Last Human (in a Crowded Galaxy)'. Its a small human child being raised by a GIANT killer spider Mother. It's wonderful. :3

I do that with some comics, like I'm the Grim Reaper. I love binge reading several episodes in one sitting, but I also get anxious if I have too many stories to catch up on. Who even gets stressed by their choice of entertainment? I'm such a loser LOL
I hadn't heard of it being made into a live action! Ooh. That's exciting! Fingers crossed it's half-way decent! (manage your expectations, yeah? XD)

I literally get stressed out all the time because I'm "falling behind" in my leisure activities. I have so many shows, movies, and podcasts that I've got a backlog of and somehow these things that I'm supposedly doing to relax have become an obligation that only I am setting for myself. It's so strange and then on top of that I'll actually get stressed when I find something new I like because "where am I going to find the time?" 😂
Lore Olympus on webtoon is SO GOOD. I'm already a huge myth and folklore fan but Rachel Smythe's take on the original Greek mythology stories and characters is incredible. She's so thoughtful and intentional with the story she wants to tell and I've stayed up too late on too many nights reading and rereading it. Also her art style is incredible!! I will say the story does cover heavy topics like SA but she's very good about including trigger warnings so if you decide to read it just be kind to yourself if those kinds of topics are tough for you. No story is worth retaumatizing yourself for.
Lore Olympus day is my favorite day of the week!!!!!! I opened this thread specifically to make sure it's getting mentioned! It's the only WebToon I fast pass for!! And 10000% agree it's changed my views on so many of the Greek gods. I took a group of students to Greece about a month ago and could not shut up about how awful Asspollo is and how badly Hades has been wronged. They humored me, but I'm sure inside they were like wtf is the bitch on about hahahaha.
Me at the Sanctuary of Apollo in Delphi because I have no respect for anything
Currently updating:
True Beauty (Korean, kinda goofy love triangle romance)
Acception (coming of age LGBTQ+)
Clinic of Horrors (fantasy/dystopian future)
A Life Through Selfies (the weirdest murder mystery I've ever read. Idk why I continue to read it, but i keep coming back every week. And based on the comments, a lot of the readers feel the same lol)
Lord Have Mercy (illicit romance between a priest and a nun)
Delusion (fantasy/horror, Dorian Grey meets vampire story)
Completed series:
Magic Soda Pop (coming of age/fantasy)
Big Jo (coming of age)
Crumbs (coming of age/fantasy/romance)
Small Blessings (fantasy/slice of life)

Omg I'm dying at you flipping off the sanctuary of Apollo that's amazing! You gotta convince your students to read Lore Olympus so they can get on your level! I honestly haven't read a single other Webtoon comic so I'm gonna take a look at some of your recs c:

Lore Olympus is what got me into webtoons! I think I ended up starting a lot of the other ones from the free coin events webtoon does.
