My Life as an Internet Novel | Super Cute YA Webtoon Review

What happens when you’re thrown into a fictional world…not as the main character, but as the main character’s best friend? This Korean manhwa puts a twist on romance and proves that falling in love is more than just a trope.

Every internet novel has the usual cast: a gorgeous heroine, handsome boys vying for her attention, and a unremarkable best friend at the heroine’s side. Dani, an ordinary student and avid reader, is all too familiar with these tropes. But she never imagined that one day she’d wake up in one herself!

But how did she get here?

Her new fictional world is complete with a beautiful best friend named Yeoryung, and four impossibly good-looking boys who all happen to be in her class…and are possibly love interests. Love interests that weren’t originally meant for her.

Dani knows that nothing good will happen to her as the side character, so she is determined to stay out of the way! But what happens when this fictional world ends up leading Dani to the first real friends she’s ever known? With no idea how to get back home, Dani decides she’ll just have to play her part—no matter what plot twists come her way.

The Basics:

Art: 5/5 Characters: 5/5 Story/Plot: 5/5 Writing/Dialouge: 5/5

I’m grouping them all together because I legit read this in like 30 minutes…maybe even faster. It’s so good! I flew through it and then was like, wait, it’s over already? Nooo!

There really isn’t a lot to review here since this volume is really just a setup for what’s to come. Maybe it’s because I’m a sucker for isekai/transportation stories and love silly, cute plotlines, but I just adored this.

It’s a true YA romance: light, fun, and super entertaining. I’ll definitely be recommending it to my younger sisters! I’ve been a little lax with my studying lately, so I might even pick up the Korean copy to translate myself.

It’s kinda like the game version of Boys Over Flowers… except the guys aren’t terrible, and even the main female lead loves Dani too, haha.

I can hear the theme song in my head

Extras:

Giggles & Sweetness: 5/5

Second-hand Embarrassment: 0/5

^ phew! I was actually kinda worried about this one.

In conclusion:

5 stars! Short and sweet, and now I’ll be waiting (im)patiently for Vol. 2.
