This was my first introduction to this WEBTOON comic and I was super intrigued by it!

Based on the blurb I expected more laugh out loud comedy from shenanigans and bad dating advice for romance, but this took a bit of a different turn. There was still plenty of comedy, it was just dry and anxious, which can be even better sometimes. The romance hasn’t really taken off yet, but it appears that will be happening in volume 2.

In this book, we get a lot of groundwork set up for future episodes. There are quite a few people to keep track of, but by the end of the story you have a good feel for who everyone is and what their purpose to the overall storyline will likely be.

I must say, I’m not a huge fan of the MMC, Paul, as he seems really naïve and selfish, but that doesn’t make me dislike the book at all. I feel he is supposed to be this way as a juxtaposition to Astaroth given the ending of this book (no spoilers!).

I was taken aback by the ending in a good way…I am a masked man/demon/God dark romance lover so this is looking right up my freaking alley!!!

I enjoyed this book and it has a lot of elements I like. I’m very intrigued by the stopping point in this book, so I will definitely be checking out more episodes on Webtoons!

Thank you to NetGalley, Wattpad WEBTOON Book Group | WEBTOON Unscrolled, and unfins for the opportunity to read this book. The thoughts and opinions expressed above are honest and my own.

3.5 stars!

The title and summary of this graphic novel made it sound more interesting than it ended up being. It was amusing, however, didn't include enough to really get me super hooked. I will for sure read the next volume to see if it picks up at all. My biggest issue that made it hard for me to get into it was the graphic style. It simply wasn't my taste and it made it challenging to enjoy the illustrations, not to mention the giant watermark across every page. It's an interesting concept and I'll keep an eye out for volume 2, but ultimately, a bit lackluster.

This story made me laugh so much. It's about a kid who summons a demon just to get the girl of his dreams. Things aren't going too well as the demon is like what the heck? A lot of things happen and the people around the kid are thinking they are going crazy. Can't wait to see what happens in the next one, as it left off a really good part.

Teenager summons a demon in the hopes that the demon can give advice on how to get one's crush to notice one. Instead of a graphic novel with an overarching "novel" plot, each chapter had more of a discrete setup and punchline that built off of the one before it. It's funny, but the humor is balanced on the edge of "gross out" (hell gives a lot of disgusting options). If that works for you, I think you'll like this one. Sadly, it goes in the "not for me" column.

This objective review is based on a complimentary copy of the novel.

One of my favorite webtoons has finally found its way into formal publication and I couldn't be happier. Forgive the scribbly, often unpolished art with minimal backgrounds. The meme humor and deadpan punchlines more than make up for it. The only downside is that it's not long enough. Can we get the whole season 1 together please?

If an omnibus ever comes out, it would be worth the purchase. 4.5/5

This was such a wild book. I think the concept of our main character, Paul, summoning a Duke of Hell because he wants to get a girl to like him is hilarious and the concept is funny. I think the characters had a great humor and the dialogue was good. The art style wasn't for me, personally. I found that it was super intense even in moments where it was supposed to be funny but that is a subjective taste. If you are looking for a wild manga that is going to take you on twist and turns this is the book for you. It is a true rollercoaster of events

3 out of 5 Stars

Love Advice From The Duke of Hell was an okay read. It wasn't bad by any mean but it feels like it's missing an actual a beginning to the story.

Paul summons the demon Astaroth from hell in order to get his help in wooing the girl of his dreams. Hilarity ensues. This was laugh-out-loud funny. I love the trope of people/demons/aliens not knowing how to "human," so the parts with Astaroth's minions were my favorite. There were silly puns and quips and miscommunications that made this so enjoyable to read. I loved every second of this.
