Noooo Courtney

 

[Monstrengo]

We have a new character entering the fray. Who might she be? I mean, I can see she's from Kim's school, but who is she?
(she's going to find out Kim Sanghyeon's secret, isn't she?)

And I was hoping the side-effect would lead us to know more about Han Yoil's previous self.

 

[MaevTheDrake]

NO MINJI, YOU'RE ONE OF THE BEST SIDE CHARACTERS, PLS BE ON THE DEBUT TEAM.

Thanks for the TL, as always! Its nice to have a breather chapter after tha back-to-back Ruha's and evaluation arc climaxes. Doesn't mean that nothing happens in this tho

Looks like MC is going to put off on using the sprays and try to actively keep his sense of self/masculinity now that the side effects have fully dawned on him. Which will probably lead into having to explain to his high school friend why Fem!MC resides in the same place as Male!MC in the form of Fem!MC

And I was hoping the side-effect would lead us to know more about Han Yoil's previous self.

Right now the side-effects only seems to affect MC's senses and sub-conscious reactions (as is the trope in this genre), maybe a potential plot lead later on.

I must say though, the writing is way too well-written. The author is really good at avoiding common pitfalls in the genderbend genre. You'd think with a premise like this the writing's would be lousy and fall into tropey fan-service or power fantasy but nope! The story is very grounded (short of the genderbend itself) and even wrote the antagonistic (bitchA) Suryeon as a semi understandable character, I can see why she would reasonably crash out like that yeah.

Stuff like managing to make it so that the genderbend aspect/the fact that the MC is a guy actually matter and plays a major factor in the story. Look at the dozen of GB femMC power fantasy isekais where its only mentioned in the first 6 chapters or so before being forgotten in favour of the usual power fantasy adventuring shtick. just cause hack isekai writers just wanted their MC to be pretty to look at while still being relatable to (the majority) male readers.

I think a main part of this is because the whole manwha revolves around idols, an industry that is inextricably linked to feminity which allows for plenty of situations where the genderbend aspect of the MC comes in for great story beats.

There is also the common pitfall of just making the MC be essentially a tomboyish insecure beautiful girl, which the author also managed to avoid. Mainly by writing it be a Ranma-style trigger and also have side effects. The entirety of the (amazing) Lee Ruha arc is really good example of how the author avoided this.

Oh and don't even get me started with Lee Ruha, such a believably flawed character and well made character. I love her so fucking much.

 

[superor707]

I bet she's not going to be a idol but she's super rich and involve heavily in this industry. So, we will see her often don't worry guys.

@Singulo hard agree, I barely read webtoons but the writing on this story is so measured and tight, the way the author actually pays attention to how the characters act makes me feel so blessed, seriously underrated

Frfr the author knows to take progression slow, measured and grounded. Making sure each step of progresssion is thoroughly explored. MC takes like 10 chapters to not be a complete girlfailure and gain a friend. She doesnt instantly debut too which is refreshing progression wise, we still got around an arc or two before that. By this chap. number an average idol-themed power fantasy webtoon/manwha/manga/manhua MC would be in a popular idol group by now. Instead here she's just an high-ranked contender trainee.

The progression isn't for progression sake here unlike many other works but for the sake of the story.

His past works is a drama thriller instead of cheap stuff so I rest easy a bit knowing that the manwha is in good hands

[Qwerty2332]

i wonder if he views hanyoil as a role he performs or as a completely different person that just happens to "be under his control"

It's the height isn't it.

I bit the bullet and bought a paid chapter cause of highkey how obessed I am with this webtoon (eugh, don't worry I will do the same to Kontoru to wash my sins) and yeah rip it's her stature. Girl just doesn't have idol physique ;-;. Shame since I liked her quite well since she's portrayed pretty well as a relatively okay person with a kind persona underneath the cold exterior it's just that she just goes with the flow along with her-less than stellar-friend group. very down-to-earth character as is par the course with the story.

Though even as someone who really enjoys these types of grounded story, I really feel like the author could have at least indulged (us) in the cheap stereotypical GB tropes at least a little? He has way more self-control than me. I trust the author to make good story decisions, having a plot thread that goes nowhere or forgotten can be pretty bad too even if it has a fun short-term potential.

For once my bilingual ass came in handy cuz my third worldie language means that it's like 0.15USD for like two chapters
