For me, I have always loved graphic novels. In fact, I have been reading them far longer and more consistently than I have any other literary media, even romance. So, have I been enjoying the fact Wattpad WEBTOON Book Group has been publishing some of their more popular entries for a larger market? Of course! All that being said, this one was definitely a miss for me. Cringe comedy made Love Advice From the Great Duke of Hell a ride I couldn’t wait to get off of.⁠
Admittedly, when I first picked this up it sounded like a fantastic romantic comedy. Unlucky in love Paul summons demon Duke Astaroth to help him woo his crush. What I wasn’t aware of was just how unlikable Paul was as a character. For me, I have no patience for men—fictional or otherwise—who feel owed the love and affection from women because they are “nice guys.” And while the story definitely acknowledges Paul as this kind of horrible incel of a person, it does so in a way that plays his terrible personality off as a joke. To me, while that might be amusing as a side character archetype trotted out once in awhile to poke fun at modern day misogynists, it is not something I can handle in a protagonist, unless there is some level subversion present (think Rorschach from the Watchmen franchise). The comedy element was not enough to keep me from being reminded of all the terrible men I have met that behave just like Paul in real life. Personally, I can’t recommend Love Advice From the Great Duke of Hell, but if you are interested in Wattpad WEBTOON Book Group and what they are doing, then I would recommend Boyfriends by refrainbow, or Tower of God by S.I.U if you prefer something a little more serious and action orientated.

This is so stupid (positive). I wasn't sure what to expect, exactly, but it's tongue in cheek from start to finish. It's a lot of fun, and the jokes and art are both solid. The writing occasionally has some grammatical slip-ups, but its pacing and timing is bang on. If you're looking for a good satire on an absolutely unhinged young man who summons a demon lord to help him get the courage to talk to a girl, you'll eat this one up in one sitting like I did!

Thank you to NetGalley and the publisher for sending me an advance copy in exchange for a fair and honest review of Love Advice from the great duke of hell.

I did not like this comic. I found the humor just not funny I maybe the qrong audience and that's fair. But I feel like its the same 5 jokes over and over again. The art is also not mt favorite but i appreciate that it stands out amongst the sameness of other webcomics turned fraphic novels. I would only recomend to like a 12 year old boy, and still probably not.

This was interesting and the plotline in illustrated version was so wonderful. The writer has penned down a wonderful plotline and the illustrator did an amazing job drawing so beautiful and charming illustrations.
I had a great time reading this.

Thank you Wattpad Webtoon Book Group (WWBG) and Netgalley for allowing me to read this book. This graphic book is so cute and funny. It was part of action, romance, funny, paranormal. I look forward to read more of this series.

This was a interesting story and the art design was really cool, but I was just not that into it. It usually does not take me too long to finish a graphic novel, but this one did. I eventually had to DNF the book. I just don't think it was for me

thank you for the arc!

this isn’t my typical genre or type of book but i loved this!! the art and art style is so interesting and creepy at times while it stayed partly comedic. the types of demons/creatures are so interesting, i couldn’t stop staring at them. the different plots thread together very well while not being too much or too much to remember. this was excellently written and put together with incredible art and art style. i liked how it didn’t tell you everything but you got enough to understand the plot.

This was a hilarious read. It was fast and very enjoyable. I had fun reading it, this book isn't meant to be taken so seriously. If you're in the mood to just relax and read something funny and silly well this is the perfect book for you.

4.5 stars

This was so damn silly and funny, I had a great time with it. The humor is very simple, but it worked very well for me. The art is nice and I love Astaroth's design in particular. The story is just vibes, so if you expect this to have a neat plot, maybe lower your expectations.

This isn't what I was expecting but I enjoyed it all the same! I was envisioning more of a cutesy romance vibe but this was sort of all over the place.
A funny, random, paranormal adventure! Hilarious! This volume contains the first half of season 1 of the webtoon and I'm definitely intrigued enough to carry on with the series!

Thank you NetGalley and publisher for the eARC!

I’m not sure what I was expecting from this but this was part paranormal, part action, part romance, and overall funny. I enjoyed the story and found myself laughing out loud at times at the antics of Paul and Astaroth and his minions. It did get confusing, at times, when it would bounce back in time to explain a scene but I got used to it after a while. Looking forward to reading the next one.

😈 Love Advice From the Great Duke of Hell
💘 Romantic Comedy
📚 NEW- Nov 2024
📱 Printed publication of popular webtoon 👀

Paul is a lovesick, hopeless, teen who summons a Duke of Hell to help him win the heart of his crush (who doesn’t even know he exists).

This kid is TOTALLY clueless to the soul-binding contract he’s entered into, meanwhile, the Devil he summoned is already done with this kid’s shit. He’s like, “WTF am I doing here? How did you even summon me?? …stupid mortal weakling” 🤦🏻‍♀️ 👿

I’ve only read the first volume, and I really wanted to love this, but I couldn’t get into it. There were some funny moments, but I think there was too much set-up for the next volume - which is obviously great for the long term story.

It’s clear that Paul’s father is hiding something, but that alone wasn’t enough of a cliffhanger to make me want to read Volume 2. I also wish I could have learned more about how hopeless Paul’s love was for his crush.

The writing was really good, and the art was beautifully done!

Read if you liked Romantic Killer.

Thanks to #netgalley and #WebtoonUnscrolled for the chance to read #LoveAdviceFromTheGreatDukeOfHell for free.

The tone and mood of this graphic novel is absolutely fabulous and makes the story for me. An image, especially facial expression, can be both horrifying and hilarious with such ease and add to the storytelling without any words needed. This is a ridiculous story, and meant to be, that shows the stresses of a crush, being in the wrong place at the wrong time, and misunderstandings that build, and build, and build. The end ended abruptly to where I felt like I was missing pages (maybe I was as this is an arc), so that was my only negative, in assuming there will be continuation in the future.

This was so weird and I think I loved it?
Honestly though if I think about it too long that might change. It was so not what I was expecting! Def going to read the second one

I really enjoyed reading this webtoon. Paul is not relatable at all, but I laughed so hard at everything he said and did.
Asteroth is pulled into a situation outside of his control, a situation caused by Paul unthinkingly, and this situation sets in motion a chain events that, like the falling of dominoes one after another, cannot be stopped. These events are also increasingly ridiculous and hilarious. I genuinely feel bad for Asteroth. He comes off as intelligent but resigned about this situation Paul has created, but he's just as goofy as everyone else. This webtoon takes the genre of slice-of-life and turns it on its head in a way that was simple and fun.

I loved the stylistic choices made in the illustrations. It made the flip flopping between tension and resignation really stand out. And I love the character designs. Everyone's facial expressions were so delightfully over-the-top.

I genuinely cannot wait to read Volume 2.

oh my god this was so freaking funny. it had my exact type of humor. I can not wait to read more.

thank you Netgalley and publisher for the ARC in exchange for a review!

Thank you netgalley and the publisher for this ebook ARC!

I was pretty misled by the cover for this series. I liked the art a lot more on that, while the art within the actual comic. Much more subdued colors and more intense lines (sorta reminded me of Attack on Titan, whose art style I'm also not a fan of). The story also wasn't what I was expecting, having very jumpy focus and little interaction between the MC and the Great Duke of Hell.

Can I see why people would like this? Sure. It has a specific type of comedy and mysteries sprinkled throughout. I'm just not one of the people.

Okay, so I was drawn in by the description and the cover. It sounded cute and silly but it was a little too ridiculous for me personally. I will say though that I was pulled in enough by the middle to want to see how it ended. I didn't like the main character Paul and I was a little confused by the story because it felt like a lot of random moving parts. I think the next volume will be more steady since by the end of this one you should have an idea who all of the major and side characters are. There's not really any romance yet and some of the characters came out of left field but if you like the art style and humorous/over the top scenarios then this may be a good fit for you. The concept from the description is mainly what drew me in but since it's just the beginning it doesn't get too deep into the plot. I'd be interested to see how it develops and think I need to read at least another volume to give it a fair shot and see if it's something I might like.

Thank you Wattpad WEBTOON Book Group | WEBTOON Unscrolled for the digital ARC via NetGalley. All thoughts and opinions are my own.

What the hell did I just read?

I liked the drawing style and the demon, and the guy with a fish head, were great characters, but that's it.

The story was all over the place and the main character was intolerable.

To be honest I didn't care for this at first. The story was really funny but I found the art work really jarring but it grew on me after a bit and by the end I was in love with this. I really enjoyed the over the top situations and the way the mc just seemed so clueless. I honestly can't wait for the next volume.
