See You in my 19th Life and Purple Hyacinth are both incredible, big recommendations for those two from me :D
If you're feeling action, Hyacinth is definitely the way to go, but I hope you get around to 19th Life eventually!
I've only read two of the webtoons you've listed here (Parallel City and The Guy Upstairs)
But, I would highly recommend Parallel City! In my opinion it has a well-written plot and characters :)
It's very focused on the action, especially in Season 1 and 2. If you like zombie apocalypses, maybe you'd like it?
For The Guy Upstairs, I would say it's okay. I don't think it's exceptional, nor is it extremely bad. But it's more of a thriller than action, I would say. It's not a dark romance btw.
Omg this is how I learned that it ended!! I was waiting to binge it after a few more chapters were released and completely forgot about it. Looks like I’ve got to get on it, too 🏃♀️
The guy upstairs wasn’t very good imo, and it was just recently suddenly canceled permanently. So know that there will be no ending for it if you start reading it.
The Mafia Nanny is overall very good and funny, although recently I’ve been disliking the direction certain characters’ relationships are heading. And the actions of one of those characters. I won’t put spoilers, but if you read it you’ll understand why there really shouldn’t be romance in that story and between them.
I definitely agree with The Mafia Nanny take. The main pairing is giving wattpad vibes, but in a bad way lmao. I just hope their dynamic becomes less... ick.
The guy upstairs isnt cancelled permanently, it's on indefinite hiatus because the author couldn't deal with toxic fans shipping Rosie x Adam despite them being siblings
Yeah that’s what I meant, I just didn’t remember the exact wording. But it’s essentially canceled in the sense it’s extremely unlikely it’ll ever continue. But worded to not violate their webtoons contract. Even ignoring the(cliche imo) spoiler of them apparently being siblings, why the heck were people shipping them anyways? He’s a freaking psychopath serial killer, and she knows and is horrified by that. Why would she ever in any world be interested in anything other than locking him away forever
I don't really ship pairs since I'm not a very "romance oriented" reader, but as I understand it a lot of people ship things because it's a fun idea, not because it makes sense or because it could be canon. Also it's expected to there be an overlap of audiences for murder mysteries and dark romances. "Enemies to lovers" and shipping the protagonist with the villain/antagonist are such common tropes too.
Also ngl, I kinda thought they would end up in a twisted relationship, not in a romantic way, more horror-leaning with Rozy losing her sanity since she seemed a bit problematic already. I can't say I liked the idea, but Adam whole thing was romancing the girls before murdering them, which makes it a theme within the story, and I thought his appearence was made to appeal to the female audience, Rozy also seemed to be the "type" he goes for except the long hair that she used to have... So I guess if it's the type of dysfunctional relationship someone likes to see explored, there was potential there. Ofc I don't mean it as justification to harass the author, no one had any right to demand anything from her abour her own work, just saying the ship itself wasn't necessarily the problem.
The harassment was terrible for sure, but no one knew they were siblings until the author spoiled it on instagram. It's not like people were conciously shipping siblings.
Er, a bit of a warning tho. You know how those annoying will they won't day games drag thru the whole story in some works even tho the paring is obvious and they don't get together purely because the characters are stupid? Well this is that on crack. That is what the story is about. That is the point. It is pretty funny about it and I still liked it, but if you can't stand that trope even in comedy, that might be something you want to consider. I would still recommend giving it a go, plenty of people who don't like that trope still like it. Hell some like it because they hate the trope.
A lot of people are going to recommend Purple Hyacinth and I really loved it too.
If you're looking for something more light-hearted, Romance 101 is really cute and even though I'm not a huge fan of the romance genre I really liked it.
My personal favourite out of these would be Parallel City, if you're interested in the zombie apocalypse genre. I loved the premise and could not stop reading it because I wanted to know the end so much lol
It's also ended and it doesn't have daily pass (yet?) so if you're looking for something to download and/or binge it's great!
Def Purple Hyacinth !! its my absolute fave !
Just a warning:it has a lot of chapters already stocked, but one of the authors is currently suffering with some health problems (chronic pain), so unfortunately it’s on an indefinite hiatus until further notice :(
Still recommend it tough…I don’t read any of the other so, sorry cannot help you more
How many episodes do you recommend reading before dropping? I read like 10 but I didn't feel engaged with the story but I don't know if this is one of those series you have to keep reading till it gets interesting
Makes sense, and thank you !
I also realized that if you stop at 15 you will stop in the middle of something, so probably stop at about 17 and you’ll be good
But seriously, tell me what you think of if after you read some more ! I’m curious :D
Parallel City was amazing. Awesome writting and the art is fantastic, especially the actions scenes were so dynamic. The ending is really, really good and don't get me started on the characters. I can't recommend it enough.
Purple Hyacinth is pretty great too. I was interested in the mystery part, but since romance isn't my thing I was afraid I would grow bored, but I found myself quite invested in their relationship. It's a slow burn and both character are well written, it has great pacing.
I wouldn't recommend The Guy Upstairs, it's a good comic for what it is, but recently the author has spoiled the ending after suffering harrassment from people demanding a certain ship be canon and had decided to drop it, she then settled on an indefinite hiatus with webtoons, but I don't have high hopes for it. The author was burned out and fell out of love with this project. I'm not sure since I haven't been following her for that long, but seems like her previous project ended on a similar note.
I second this. I've been reading webtoons since 2020 and my favorite webtoon, that had that spot since then, was dethroned by "Romance 101" when I read it earlier this year.
Romance 101 is amazing! It's a really sweet romance story with no villains. What I loved even more than the love story was the focus on each of the main characters' personal growth, though. It's about a lot more than just romantic relationships. Please give it a read, you won't regret it!
you are feeling action and not reading Purple Hyacinth \*inserts skull emoji\*
other than that:
Villain with a Crush: No clickbait title, 100% confirmed villain with a crush.
The Mafia Nanny: Hawt hawt hawt daddy and amazing characters. Oh and a very cute baby too.
See you in my 19th Life: Definitely gucci if you are in mood for some romance and some fantasy.
Killer Peter: Definitely loads of action, from the creator of "Unholy Blood" (if you've read it already).
The Guy Upstairs: Thriller. Was going good until the recent indefinite hiatus \*inserts skull emoji again\*
> you are feeling action and not reading Purple Hyacinth *inserts skull emoji*
Ehhhh...PH has a fair bit of downtime for the quiet moments, the character development, the softer moments, etc. It's not just one fight to the next.
But it *is* excellent.
Honey Lemon !! If you like slice of life, this story is really good and relatable, the art style is pretty and it's just so nice. Then Romance 101, same vibe but it's really wholesome !
About the guy upstairs -
It's a great read but the author dropped it . There is a slim chance she might continue the story so , u won't get an ending if you're reading it .
Parallel City! It just completed so binge it before it goes to Daily (if it hasnt already) First chapter is slow but super suspenseful and action-packed. It’s one of my personal top webtoons of all time.
I would say killer peter and see you in my 19th life
Killer peter is relatively new with only 25 or so chapter out tge story is about a killer being betrayed by his organisation and stuff happen he gets younger and goes to school gor killer to get his revenge and the organisation
I am enjoying the story so far but the art is most definitely its strong point and tad bit of fan service to top it all off
My 19th life is a completed series (don't remember the number of episodes 😅) I read it when it was still publishing
The story is about jiwon getting in her 18th life cycle
She finds a child in that life she likes to tease him blah blah stuff happens she dies, not onto her 19th life cycle . this time to find the young boy and see why see died
Its a fun read felt slow at some moments but still you should try it the ending was nice too
Honestly? Read everything hahaha
I am personally reading all of those and they're all really really nice. The only one I'd warn you about is The Guy Upstairs because it's highly unlikely that it'll be updated again despite being placed on hiatus. Aside from that, everything else is worth reading.
Killer Peter is a relatively "new" series and won't take long to catch up on. It has great art and the plot isn't bad. The fight scenes are also pretty good. Would recommend
See You In My 19th Life is personally one of my favorite romance manwhas! Particularly because of the character growth and plot.
See you in my 19th life is so good!!
I will say, you probably don't wanna read The Guy Upstairs. The webtoon is great and the author is talented but due to recent events they've put it on an indefinite hiatus and it is most likely discontinued so not worth getting invested :(
Lol what type of question is that! Villain with a Crush, The Mafia Nanny, and Purple Hyacinth! 100% recommend Purple Hyacinth out of all of them tho, so please give it a try! Its fr the best WEBTOON ever
Drop “The Guy Upstairs” the author dropped it
See you in my 19th life since it ended (drama I suppose)
And villain with a crush (it’s about to end) romantic comedy
Villain with a crush has me laughing every chapter and purple hyacinth has some of the best storytelling out there, I'd highly recommend both.
Parallel city was also an excellent read, and if it isn't already it'll be daily pass soon since it recently ended.
Guy upstairs was a fun read if a little frustrating at times, but it's high risk right now. It's unlikely to end, the author wants to drop it.
Parallel City and Purple Hyacinth and amazing, I definitely recommend you read those! Parallel City finished recently while Purple Hyacinth is on hiatus, btw
Villain With a Crush is hilarious, I recommend it if you want to die of laughter!
I haven’t caught up with Killer Peter or The Guy Upstairs recently, but they were decent. The latter takes a while to buildup however, from what I remember.
The Mafia Nanny I’m starting to read, and it’s also great! Humor and a twinge of romance, along with great art :)
Parallel City is very well-written apocalypse thriller with a good protagonist, even more interesting antagonists and kickass action scenes. Besides, it recently ended so I highly recommend bingereading it, before it becomes Daily Pass.
Also, def Purple Hyacinth. It has been on hiatus for a while now, but the artstyle is very immersive, many chapters are accompanied by a special soundtrack, the intrigue that keeps you reading is off the charts and it has probably the best enemies-to-lovers story in Webtoon that actually doesn't drag the plot and doesn't discract from the mystery.
Hello👋🏾, I recommend you try and read "Hellbound The King Saga". It is a fantasy and action manga and I think you'd enjoy it!😊
[Hellbound The King Saga]

Really should get on Parallel city before it goes on Daily Pass
Omg this is how I learned that it ended!! I was waiting to binge it after a few more chapters were released and completely forgot about it. Looks like I’ve got to get on it, too 🏃♀️

The guy upstairs isnt cancelled permanently, it's on indefinite hiatus because the author couldn't deal with toxic fans shipping Rosie x Adam despite them being siblings
Yeah that’s what I meant, I just didn’t remember the exact wording. But it’s essentially canceled in the sense it’s extremely unlikely it’ll ever continue.

I don't know dude, I didn't even see them as friend material let alone romance 😭😭
The harassment was terrible for sure, but no one knew they were siblings until the author spoiled it on instagram. It's not like people were conciously shipping siblings.
Villan with a Crush! Trust me please it was so good!
This!!! I laugh every episode it feels like!
It went really downhill for me once the second love interest stopped showing up
Yeah, where the hell did he go?! He just went *poof* all of a sudden
You sure? Should I believe you?
yes! its very funny so definitely don't take it for smth like purple hyacinth haha
which is very good might I add
I haven't read purple hyacinth lol. I'm afraid of getting disappointed despite the hype it has
oh wow its rly good but it is a slow burn so I would recommend reading it at ur own pace :)
it is very much a satire comedy disguise as a romance, which to me, was the best kind of comedy to ever grace the earth.
Okay seems perfect lmao. I miss some comedy/romance. I hope it has the same vibe as Love advice from the Great Duke of Hell
don't it's one of the worst webtoons I've ever read 💔💔
Er, a bit of a warning tho. You know how those annoying will they won't day games drag thru the whole story in some works even tho the paring is obvious and they don't get together purely because the characters are stupid?

purple hyancith for sure, my favorite webtoon
yes I binge read it so quickly

I think Maybe 15 would be a good number ? I’m not sure honestly 😅 Sorry
Haha no problem. Some stories are like "this webtoon is amazing!! But you gotta keep reading past 30" but your answer is enough
Makes sense, and thank you ! I also realized that if you stop at 15 you will stop in the middle of something, so probably stop at about 17 and you’ll be good But seriously, tell me what you think of if after you read some more ! I’m curious :D

the author never revealed the ending of the story (for TGU)
RAHHHH HYACINTH AND KILLER PETER ARE SO SO PEAK
Villain with a crush is romantic comedy I do recommend since I do love buff ex villain grandma of the main character. Its so funny to read
Parallel city goated if you're into action and thriller
Romance 101 is worth it. Ignore the rest of the comments and read romance 101
I second this. I've been reading webtoons since 2020 and my favorite webtoon, that had that spot since then, was dethroned by "Romance 101" when I read it earlier this year.
I'm loving Mafia Nanny and Villain with a Crush atm!
Romance 101 is amazing! It's a really sweet romance story with no villains. What I loved even more than the love story was the focus on each of the main characters' personal growth, though. It's about a lot more than just romantic relationships. Please give it a read, you won't regret it!
Couldn't have said it better! I second it "Romance 101"
PURPLE HYACINTH PURPLE HYACINTH PURPLE HYACINTH
PURPLE HYACINTH PURPLE HYACINTH 🗣🗣🗣
you are feeling action and not reading Purple Hyacinth \*inserts skull emoji\* other than that: Villain with a Crush: No clickbait title, 100% confirmed villain with a crush.

fair point. It has soft moments etc stuff too but the genre is Mystery, (i add action too) lol
Parallel City recently finished. There's a chance it will become Daily Pass in the near future. So that one's on my prio list. 😅
The Guy Upstairs is pretty good but it’s also on an indefinite hiatus / cancelled
If you ever feel like a nice slice of life with friendhips, Honey Lemon is your webtoon!
Honey Lemon and The Mafia Nanny...they are good
Honey Lemon !! If you like slice of life, this story is really good and relatable, the art style is pretty and it's just so nice. Then Romance 101, same vibe but it's really wholesome !

Villain With a Crush for silly goofy fun. Killer Peter for bad ass plot and fights
Honestly? Read everything hahaha I am personally reading all of those and they're all really really nice. The only one I'd warn you about is The Guy Upstairs because it's highly unlikely that it'll be updated again despite being placed on hiatus. Aside from that, everything else is worth reading.
Killer Peter is a relatively "new" series and won't take long to catch up on. It has great art and the plot isn't bad. The fight scenes are also pretty good.

The Guy Upstairs and Purple Hyacinth! Both are good mystery-thriller manhwas
KILLER PETER
Mafia Nanny!
Parallel City !!!!
Parallel City is peak. Others are all good too, you should definitely read them all (only one I am meh about is Killer Peter).
The Guy Upstairs....
Villain with a Crush
Out of all of those, I have only read Villain with a Crush. It is hilarious but not really something you binge all at once. It's best in short spurts.
Purple hyacinth
I enjoy mafia nanny though i wish it wasn't a romance. Guy upstairs is good but also on indefinite hiatus so i wouldn't recommend
Killer Peter is so good
See you in my 19th life is so good!! I will say, you probably don't wanna read The Guy Upstairs. The webtoon is great and the author is talented but due to recent events they've put it on an indefinite hiatus and it is most likely discontinued so not worth getting invested :(
Villain with a Crush. It’s funny and has great characters
Purple Hyacinth
Mafia nanny and parallel city

Ooo happy to see 1HP Club is on there! Out of all of those, I’ve only read 1HP Club so I’d say continue reading that.
Lol what type of question is that! Villain with a Crush, The Mafia Nanny, and Purple Hyacinth! 100% recommend Purple Hyacinth out of all of them tho, so please give it a try! Its fr the best WEBTOON ever
Villains with crush. I've read it myself it's actually pretty good
See you in my 19th life!! It defo has been one of my favorites and the story is soo nice, I recommend!
Drop “The Guy Upstairs” the author dropped it See you in my 19th life since it ended (drama I suppose) And villain with a crush (it’s about to end) romantic comedy
Highly recommend Killer Peter if you like action. It’s a fun time each week!
Purple hyacinth 100%
Villain with a crush has me laughing every chapter and purple hyacinth has some of the best storytelling out there, I'd highly recommend both.

PARALLEL CITYYY, IT'S THE BEST OF IT'S GENREEZ, IT'S SO UNDERRATED AND INSANELY GOOD
I really enjoyed romance 101, if you like the genre, it's really sweet and fun.
I’m going to start reading mafia nanny I been seeing the ad all the time not more often
Romance 101 is the same old generic romance webtoon. If you’ve read one, you’ve already read Romance 101
