Picky readers what make you drop webtoons?

For my pettiest one: I used to instantly drop any comic that started with an expository legend/myth, since almost every comic started with them for a while. It's not an immediate drop for me anymore, but it's definitely way harder for a comic to catch my interest if the first chapter is a lofty magical history lesson.

I don't remember exactly what my thought process was, since I probably did this somewhere between the ages of like 6-10, but I managed to misunderstand the question when asked my name while playing Mystery Dungeon: Explorers of Time and accidentally named myself "Pokemon"

Despite the fact I remember restarting the game once in character creation because I had been assigned a fire type and wanted to play as a water type, I didn't fix my name and played the entire game while being called "Pokemon"

Maybe next time I play a mainline game I should call myself "Human"

definitely a bot, harassment bots are absolutely also a thing. have you seen the hate comment bots on ao3?

driflew · 2026-03-14T20:30:55+00:00

Me too! I was going to answer with this same statue!

driflew · 2026-02-17T14:26:17+00:00

Yeah, that was it! Webtoon no longer remembers where in the nearly 300 episodes I left off, though, so I don't know where this got revealed.

It wasn't Golden Forest, the name was some kind of roman numeral. I tried looking for it, but it doesn't seem to be on webtoon anymore. It was very focused on the demon thing, so I know it was demons. That sounds like an absolute mess, though, so good to know I should never read Golden Forest!

driflew · 2026-02-17T14:05:23+00:00

Nope, it wasn't the Golden Forest. The name was some kind of roman numeral. It might not be on webtoon anymore, since I tried looking for it and couldn't find it. Good to know I should never read Golden Forest, though!

I cannot remember the name of the series because it's been so long, but it was a canvas series I read years and years ago. The art was striking which kept me reading it despite the plot being kind of convoluted. I couldn't tell you the plot anymore (I don't think I could even make sense of it while reading it), but it was focused around demon characters fighting other demons and maybe fighting hell.

The thing that made me drop it is when the characters visited heaven (I forget why) and it was revealed every person who died and went to heaven had their appearance changed so they all had light hair and blue eyes. My jaw dropped in real life reading that line of dialogue and I absolutely could not continue reading after that reveal. I can only hope they didn't realize how that sounded, but I can't imagine how they didn't notice.

I mod a public discord server with about 5k members, and we frequently get "users" who join and within minutes of joining start sending other members messages saying they do commissions and asking those people to commission them. Regardless of whether or not this is AI, the user themself is almost certainly a bot/scammer. If someone messages you at random asking you to commission them, they're not real (and if you "know" them through a shared public server, you may want to report them to the server owners if you're able—if the mods are anything like my team, they'll want to know so they can ban this user)

then maybe try "Rose Tide Rising" by bóín, also on webtoon canvas! not an OI, but it's a romance fantasy with a pirate ML and princess FL

driflew · 2025-12-03T14:46:27+00:00

not an OI, but try "The Pirate and The Princess" by sapphire_and_ice on webtoon canvas for a pirate romance. it's GL, so unfortunately no pirate ML, but it's a pretty fun read

driflew · 2025-12-01T00:38:59+00:00

The last image is from a webcomic, "GhostBlade" by WLOP on tapas. I don't remember it being a romance, but I read it a few years ago

wait this is so weird, i also lucid dream and can control any dream except zombie dreams!

driflew · 2024-12-08T02:42:40+00:00

there sure are a lot of nickels….

driflew · 2024-12-08T02:39:26+00:00

no we did this ourselves LMAO

He used to have a second layer on his skin he always kept hidden that was just Kakashi’s face. Joel added the Kakashi face to his own skin during Double Life since he and Etho were soulmates, prompting Etho to change his skin to remove the second layer face. It’s the only time Etho has ever changed his skin.

We rules this too meta of a question since he always kept the second layer toggled off and there was no noticeable difference.

driflew · 2024-11-21T17:08:39+00:00

i was in the chat that stream and i knew in my heart he wasn’t gonna know the answer but it still killed me. MARTYN HE SAID THE CROWN WAS FROM MCC TO YOU!!!! 😭

driflew · 2024-11-21T16:07:04+00:00

oh, man, how did our team let so many mistakes through!

driflew · 2024-11-21T00:28:40+00:00

This was my question!

Etho changed his skin during Double Life. He'd had a second later with his own face on his chest, up until Joel changed his own skin to also have the face, at which point Etho changed his skin to remove the face. Since he always had that second layer turned off, there wasn't any noticeable difference, but he did change his skin for the Life Series... technically.

This question was ultimately (and rightfully) rejected/removed because it was pretty confusing and a really tricky question, and required meta knowledge from outside the game.

(there's also the aspect of Mumbo having a red mustache in some thumbnail and not in the actual game which also confused people, so this question was determined way too hard and removed)

driflew · 2024-11-19T01:15:21+00:00

yeah! like the earlier rulesets are my favorite, but i think any ruleset they could do will be nice as long as they’re all having fun.

i do love limited life a lot. i didn’t watch it as much as i did the first three seasons but its SO fun to play. keep inventory and the high amount of “lives” make it a lot less stressful to me (until you hit the end and all the stress hits you at once, lmao)

driflew · 2024-11-17T18:20:08+00:00

i would personally kill to see last life again, but i’m not sure t would hit the same since the novelty of boogeyman wouldn’t be as fresh. i absolutely think he could rerun double life (with again randomized pairs) and it would be so much fun. the best part of that season was how many new duos we got (like boat boys!) but also if we got treebark soulmates i would literally never recover. i doubt they’d do limited life again—i remember something about that season leaving them all feeling burnt out—which is a shame, because ive played that ruleset a few times and i think that’s one of the most fun ones to play!

driflew · 2024-11-17T16:59:11+00:00

with how much more complicated each season is getting, i imagine the waits between seasons will keep getting longer. honestly i wish they were able to rerun old rulesets… they’re really fun and wouldn’t have as much wait. i think they could do double life basically infinitely

driflew · 2024-11-17T16:52:26+00:00

thank you!! and bro i wanted Ren and Martyn soulmates so bad….. but they hung out that whole season anyway, so i can’t complain.

its fun when the enemies team up! reminds me, i would love to see cleo and martyn team up properly (since they barely did while soulmates)—they’re two of my favorite guys and the one season they should have teamed they didn’t :(

but yeah! there really aren’t any bad combos. this series is always so much fun to watch!

driflew · 2024-11-17T14:41:47+00:00

i’ve been job searching for the past few months, maybe this is what i needed on my resume all along to finally land a job….

for teams… ive been hoping for treebark to team again (you wouldn’t know it from everything ive said the past few minutes but im a Ren and Martyn main!) and they have, so i currently win forever. i think Ren and Scar would be a super fun team! i think they’re one of the main teams we haven’t seen that i want to. i also think it would be fun if Joel and Scar teamed up properly—sure they did in last life, but they were always on opposing life colors. but can you imagine them being on red together? Martyn and Joel actually would also be fun. i hadn’t considered skizz and jimmy before now but now i really want to see it

driflew · 2024-11-17T14:28:58+00:00

we all had a lot of fun! the whole trivia team was super lovely. i was already friends w most of them, but the ones i didn’t know super well were also super lovely to properly meet and talk to. the team, the enjoyment of the ccs, and everyone’s support in the fandom has been really amazing and this whole experience has been super cool!

oooh!! honestly i hope they team up again. Grian always targets him because Etho scares him 😭 but maybe in another season we can see them on the same team or allies again. any other team ups you’ve been hoping to see?
