Thank you to NetGalley for an Advanced Reader’s Copy of the first volume of this Webtoon turned to print story by Unfins!

★ ★ ☆ ☆ ☆ | 2/5

This was....certainly a read. I usually say this with stuff that was published from Wattpad, but you can definitely tell this was a Webtoon first. While I actually really liked the art, the all over the place - yet interconnected - storyline was far too much for me. I wished we had seen more pieces of that story fleshed out as this is only the first volume. I feel like so much happened and was revealed that...didn't need to be. While I know, as I already said, that this was a Webtoon first, I also wonder if story changes could have been made to some of the arcs / panels to make the pacing better and not down the reader's throats.

There were a lot of interesting and good sections and plot threads beginning, but they felt too few and far between for me to want to read future installments.

This might be one of the funniest books of 2024 for me. It had a great sense of humour and didn't take itself too seriously, which was a really nice change. The art and dialogue was engaging and I felt like the characters were a lot of fun. I loved that this guy summons a demon instead of just going over to talk to a girl he likes. Too funny!

3.5 rounded up

Oh, I really loved the art style in this webtoon! It kind of reminded me of early webtoons when everything wasn’t perfectly polished and colored, giving it a lot of character and charm.

The story itself? Extremely chaotic—but in a fun way! There’s always something happening, and the energy is high from start to finish. I’ll admit, though, at times it felt like a bit much. The chaos sometimes tipped over the edge, making the pacing feel a little off.

This definitely isn’t something I would typically read, but honestly, I didn’t regret picking it up. It’s kind of like when you read a debut author—you know the story isn’t quite your thing, but the writing is great, and you still want to support them because you see so much potential. That’s exactly how I felt about this webtoon. The pacing was strange at times, but the art and some of the writing really won me over.

Would you summon a Duke of Hell to help you navigate your love life? I probably would.

This is a lot different from the Webtoons I usually read via the app, but I am so happy I gave this one a chance! The mix of wry humor and absurdity (and quite concerning oblivious behavior from the main character) makes for an entertaining story. I definitely recommend for adult audiences who don't mind satire and a story that doesn't take itself too seriously.

I appreciate Webtoon Book Group and NetGalley for giving me access to this e-arc.

This was cute! Very funny and great personalities on the characters. There are a few moving parts that let me know future volumes will give lots of interesting plot. There are already interesting connections between the characters. My only complaint is that it throws a lot of short scenes at first so it's a little confusing, but by the end I was following along!


Thank you to NetGalley for an e-arc in exchange for an honest review!

I will definitely be purchasing this for my library's collection! I wasn't sure what to expect when starting this one (I haven't seen the original on Webtoon), but it was unexpectedly so funny! Reading this felt like a Death Note parody and the entire plot is silly, but very funny. The art style is simple, but I think it's very effective for the type of story that it is.

Astaroth, a Great Duke of Hell, was minding his own business when a teenage boy named Paul summoned him to the mortal realm. It’s a shame Paul has failed to notice that one does not just sell their soul to a demon to get a date! In six days, Astaroth will return to hell with Paul’s soul, but not before chaos ensues!

I knew this book was going to be funny when I started it, but I was not expecting to be laughing so hard at almost every turn. We follow Astaroth, Paul, and Paul’s sister Elena from the moment that Astaroth is summoned from hell to aid Paul in his romantic pursuits. One of the things I love about this story is that no one is on the same page, which adds to the absolute hilarity that ensues. The artwork is fun and really helps drive the humor home. The characters' facial expressions alone had me cracking up at times. However, even if the artwork didn’t help with that, I think the humor would stand up well on its own.

I don’t want to say too much and risk accidentally spoiling the story, but if this sounds like something you’d be interested in reading, I say do it. I was laughing so hard throughout each chapter. I’m actually debating on following the story’s original format on WEBTOON when I prefer published volumes in book format. That’s how much I enjoyed this book!

This book is just weird. There's really no other thing that I could say for it other than it's weird hahaha.

The plot is interesting, the way it was executed is not what I'm used to. I think the art style could also use some work because it's not the greatest, although it really has a great way of delivering the punchline in some panels. I don't know if I'll read the next book because of the plot or just simply because I'm intrigued haha

Thank you so much to NetGalley for the e-ARC of Love Advice From the Great Duke of Hell!

This isn’t my normal kind of read but the cover and title had me. I adored the art & LOL’ed a few times reading this graphic novel! There were moments that felt kinda Messy or just randomly placed in spots, especially towards the beginning — maybe this is just a me thing, idk.

Admittedly, it’s not a series I plan on keeping up with, but it was fun & I think if you’re into graphic novels with silliness, romance & demons than it’s definitely worth the read.

Thank you Netgalley and the publisher for a copy in exchange for review.

What do you get when a clueless teenager summons a Great Duke of Hell? A wild storyline, that's for sure.

Paul is the textbook definition of an unaware teenager. He finds himself crushing hard on a waitress at the cafe down the street, Elena- and he'll do anything to get close to her. Even summon Astaroth (by accident?), a Great Duke of Hell who is now contracted to help Paul with his mundane crush.

The two embark on a very one-sided adventure, with Paul's family and classmates ending up in the mix. This first volume was humorous and witty, and I find that the reader will never really know what to expect next. The details in the art adds another level of meme-humor to the story. Overall it was a solid 4/5 stars.

Asks the question "What if a demon contract was told as a gag manga with a bit of a romantic comedy bent?" A brisk and breezy read, and the expressions captured are great. So many "I want to die" or "unhinged evil" faces that are fun to look at.

This one was super cute! I liked the storyline and everything. The art was pretty too! It had me laughing a lot. There were a few different plot points that I needed to pay attention to otherwise I knew I’d get lost. Overall it’s a pretty solid graphic novel!

I'm sorry, but this is so goofy cute. I'm obsessed. I don't know what else to say, honestly. The art style is nice, the premise insane, and the overall flow, fast and fun.

This is one of those graphic novels where the title explains it all. There is a Great Duke of Hell who ultimately gives love advice to our main character. Kind of. The main human character summons this Duke of Hell who says he will make his crush fall in love with him in exchange for his soul. This story has over the top dialogue and expression which I ultimately was very entertained by. I do question the abrupt ending - will there be another volume? The ARC was unclear. I can only assume there will even though the title doesn't indicate a volume 1. If there is more then I enjoyed it! If there isn't I'd be asking why.

This art style was so cool I really loved the way they did the Great Duke of Hell! It was a good read and fast paced. And I'm sorry but a fish named sushi ..... Hilarious

Thank you netgalley and the publisher for this ebook ARC!
I enjoyed this graphic novel and really liked the graphics throughout the novel. The layout is easy to read and kept my attention throughout. I enjoyed the story line but found it to be a little slow. We met the initial conflict and plot point but it doesn't seem to be brought back up too much more. I understand this is the first installment, it just ends at a weird point.

Super cute fun a quirky comic with amazing art! The character designs are fun and full of life and the art style works so well with the story! I definitely recommend checking it out when it comes out! It's a great well paced read for anyone who's a fan of funny but slightly edgy webcomics.

Thank you to netgalley and the publisher for an arc in exchange for an honest review!

I would like to thank NetGalley for giving me an arc in exchange for an honest review.

This was cute and funny and absolutely ridiculous. From a teenager making a contract with a Duke of hell get the girl of his dreams, to the organization fighting against evil having an entire fight over which Powerpuff Girl was the best, this had me cackling.

I enjoyed the story, especially as Astaroth slowly goes crazy and devises a plan with the help of his friend Sushi to get back at the kid who made his life a living hell. Now I can't wait for the next book to see where it's going because there's so much going on and I need to know how it'll end!! Plus, the artwork is cute, rough, and looks unfinished in a way that totally works for this.

Overall, I enjoyed reading this.

Actual rating: 4.5⭐️

Thank you to NetGalley and the publisher for the eARC.

I wasn't sure how to set my expectations for this, but it turned out pretty interesting. Teenage Paul is helpless and desperate so he summons Astaroth a demon from hell to get him a date with the girl that he likes.

I liked the art style and the story was pretty funny, even though it was kind of confusing and hard to follow at times. Overall I had a good time with my first ever WEBTOON, but I'm not confident that the story will stay with me and entice me to pick up the next volume.

3 stars

I love the idea of this book, but the execution misses the mark. It's trying way too hard to be funny. While there are some chuckle worthy moments and I really like the concept, the humor is too "lol random" for my taste. It feels like the Millennial humor that's now considered cringe. The concept is the strongest part of the book: a random kid summons a powerful demon in order to help him with his love life. What's not to like about that? But the humor is lacking. Some parts did make me chuckle and it has some likable characters, but otherwise it's a miss. Hopefully, future entries are stronger than this one.
