Thank you to NetGalley, WEBTOON, and unfins for this advanced reader’s copy! I actually read a bit of Love Advice from the Great Duke of Hell when it was getting popular on the WEBTOON app and so I am super stoked to see it get serialized and pushed for print. It’s definitely a very specific kind of humor and audience and you don’t get hooked just yet on this first volume. But if you’re looking for a tongue in cheek webtoon that is lighthearted and fun, this is it! It’s a little bit ridiculous, a little bit mysterious, and a whole lot of fun. You follow Paul on his quest to find love and on this journey, he enlists the help of the devil himself. Obviously, chaos ensues. Looking forward to seeing how the public enjoys this webtoon! It’s getting published Nov. 5th so keep an eye out!

I gave up on this about 50% in. I really like the premise and title of the book. However, there was no character development and everything felt very hectic and confusing. There were a lot of randomly introduced characters that feel unrelated to anything else. I was also very confused by the random argument about which Powerpuff girl was the best. I think the attempts at humor did not balance out the lack of a cohesive storyline. This was just not for me.

Got access to this via NetGalley. Was really intrigued by the premise/cover - shy teen summoning a demon to help him get the courage to speak to his crush. While that’s technically accurate when it comes to the plot, it’s also not at all what I expected in many ways. It has potential and humorous parts for sure, but it felt way more unfinished than I expected. It also jumped around a bit in a way that was more confusing/jarring than helpful. I didn’t hate it, but wished it had lived more up to the expectations I had going in from the cover and description. Overall I enjoyed it, but not enough to seek out the rest of the story, unless it was in a bit more of a polished format.

This was so cute and funny! The title really does mostly describe what the manga is about but it was even more charming than I imagined. It also has some unexpected and mysterious elements to it. I actually laughed out loud at some of the jokes, and the mannerisms and expressions of the characters. Also, this in color rather than black and white! I'm excited to see where the story goes from here.

Thank you to NetGalley for providing me with a copy of this ARC!

I absolutely loved this! I laughed sooooo much while reading this. This was a fun mix of romance, and action. I can’t wait for the next book

In terms of formatting, it's fine. There's nothing that stood out to me.

In terms of content - I have never read this webtoon and I didn't read the summary, so that's on me. I couldn't tell if this was dupposed to be funny or stupid - it's just not my cup of tea.

I was really excited about the concept of this book but once I started reading I found it really goofy and kind of stupid. I stopped reading half way through.

Hahaha, ok this is quite unique and funny. The art is very interesting and I wasn't a big fan at first, but it really did grow on me. The story is unique and funny, I definitely had some laugh out loud moments. I like where this is going and would be really interested to see where the story is taken.

Thank you to NetGalley, unfins, and Wattpad WEBTOON Book Group for an early copy of this book in exchange for an honest review.

This was so so cute. The art style is so well done and adorable. The entire premise made me giggle the entire time I can't even begin to explain how much I loved it. I am beyond excited for more.

Thank you NetGalley and the publisher for allowing me to read and review this book before publication.

First off, I did not finished this book. As I went through each page I became even more annoyed that such an immaturely written story such as this would even be published as a physical copy instead of staying on WEBTOON. What I mean by immature:

1. The story starts so fast that we have no context. No idea who the main character is, no background, etc. That is the whole point of exposition in a story. Even if the author wished to create mystery and suspense in the story, there needs to be a solid exposition. Where does the story take place? Who is the main character, and why should be be on their side?

2. There are so many grammatical and punctuation errors in the dialogue bubbles. Which is okay if this is a first draft. You would think that those would be cleaned up coming off of WEBTOON before it goes into an ARC. Errors starting out on page 3 does not bode well for the rest of the book.

3. The main character. Who the heck is this guy and why should we care about him? We’re thrown into a scenario where he summons a demon in his room after acquiring a special book. He wants this so he can get a girl. Can this scenario make for a great book? Yes, and it has. However, the main character comes off as an immature creep who stalks her and intimidates guys who show her any attention. I don’t know about y’all, but this giant red flag is a complete turn off for me.


I’m sure there are people who like this story, and I’m not begrudging them for finding entertainment. However, the subject matter is perpetuating something dangerous within relationships, and that is not something I want to expose my daughter or students to.

I will not be recommending this book to anyone.

This was a fun concept but it fell short to me. There was a lot of jumping around between locations and characters and being that it was the first volume it was extremely hard to keep up with the names and faces. I wasn't a huge fan of the use of text language such as "lol" etc, it really took away from the story and while I know this is supposed to be kind of spoofy it was just extremely distracting and didn't add any comedic effect. The art style is cool and almost reminds me of a colored-version of Junji Ito's works and I think it suits the story well. I think as long as there isn't as much jumping around in plot in any following volumes this series has the potential to become well loved and a really fun read!

Thank you to Netgalley and the publisher for letting me read an advanced copy of this.

My edition is missing a few pages so I'll edit this later but I had read the first half of this story when it was on Webtoons and then simply forgot about it, so it was a surprise to me that it was getting published. The art style is pretty much the same as before which isn't bad but because the formatting wasn't changed at all to suit the new style of a paperback instead of a scroll structure, the panels look so out of place now. Plus the humor is so integrated in the time that it was originally created along with it being a week-by-week update

I saw another review that said this had the humor of a five year old, and while I agree. It would make sense to add in context that the five year old is stuck in 2010-2015. Destined to repeat those years for eternity. I am still interested in reading the rest of the story, I didn't get past the fish head when it was a web comic, but I don't think I'll try to review the next volume if the opportunity arises.

I could not get into this one. I thought the art made the story really hard to follow. It felt like I had missed a few pages because I struggled to connect what was happening. I found the art very messy and confusing. I didn't like the main character at all. I was really excited by the premise, but the premise seemed to barely exist. I also didn't really care for the main character's obsession with the girl. It felt a little cringe, and perhaps if it were executed better, it could have felt okay, but it just felt creepy instead.

Thank you to NetGalley, Wattpad WEBTOON Book Group, WEBTOON Unscrolled, and unfins for the opportunity to read this book in exchange for an honest review.

This graphic novel omnibus compilation contains the first (13?) chapters of "Love Advice From the Great Duke of Hell." The story follows Paul, who summons the Great Duke of Hell, Astaroth, mainly to get the girl he likes. When he finds Astaroth can't help how he wishes, Paul asks to break the contract, sending Astaroth away. But Astaroth isn't done. He returns with his fish-friend to take revenge on Paul.

The art has a simplistic style that makes for an excellent sense of place, as well as hyperbolic humor when it comes to the facial expressions. The scenarios have moments of seriousness, though ultimately the book is more of a dark comedy, really upping its entertainment value. This is hilarious and fun to read with a cast of interesting characters. I'd certainly like to follow this one!

I can't wait for the next volume. This is such a funny manga that has one of my favorite types of characters, the grumpy bad guy (in the form of an archdemon) who is forced to help with something so mundane and silly and below his paygrade (but finds himself enjoying it all the same). All the characters are really cute and I'm rooting for them to have a happy story.

I simply LOVE deadpan humor
this is a great read for people who are fans of Hellava Boss and Hazbin Hotel
I was cracking up the entire time I was reading this, I can't wait to read more. I love the characters and the plot so far.
This was very enjoyable to read. Loved the art style as well

I think this just wasn’t for me. I love graphic novels and really expected to like this one, but I guess it wasn’t my type of humor after all. Almost all of the humor relied on characters just making meme-like faces - almost none of the humor felt driven by plot, character personality, or anything else of substance. And I truly just couldn’t get past my absolute hatred for Paul. It would be one thing if his unlikableness could be balanced out with cleverness like Light from Deathnote or with humor, but he just had no redeemable qualities to me. I’m glad to see that this story has been a hit with other people because I do think that the artwork was nice and that the overall idea had creativity, but it just didn’t work out for me.

💭My thoughts: The art was nice, I really liked how the demon was illustrated. I was fully expecting humor, I love to laugh, but this felt lacking. The humor felt repetitive like reusing jokes, and something maybe a preteen age group might find funny. It just wasn’t for me. I would recommend this to my younger cousin in 5th grade..

I loved this webtoon when it was being published on the app, I'm so excited to see it picked up for physical release!! There are still a couple of spelling errors from the original series that should be corrected, but otherwise I found it JUST as hilarious on re-read as I did the first time I read it, so if you like slapstick comedy, absurd situational comedy, and other silly shenanigans, PLEASE give this one a try!

This is a whole lotta chaos that isn't necessarily my cup of tea, but I can completely appreciate that it will be so many others' cups of tea. The art is different, which I think will make it stand out more. Definitely a fun one!
