Synopsis

Every novel has the usual cast: a gorgeous heroine, handsome boys vying for her attention, and a homely best friend at the heroine's side. Dani, an ordinary student and avid reader of internet novels, is all too familiar with these tropes. But she never imagined that one day she'd wake up at the center of one herself! Her new fictional world is complete with a beautiful best friend named Yeoryung, and four impossibly good-looking boys who all happen to be in her class. Dani is determined to stay out of the way and not get involved in the twists and turns of the plot. But is she really just the sidekick—or is Dani actually the leading lady? Anything is possible in the world of a novel!

Preliminary (212/? eps)

tl;dr Inso's Law/My Life as an Internet Novel is a great story of realistic characters within an unrealistic love-novel world, and that's awesome.

I've withheld writing a review for this series for a while now. Not because it was bad, but because it was too good. I tend to write a bit for stories that strike my heartstrings and Inso's Law is one of them. There are not many manhwa/manga/manhua that can successfully write loveable, goofy, yet realistic romcom characters. There's always some kind of unrealistic aspect in romcom characters, whether that be a character's denseness or pure plot armor within their world; but Inso's Law ... seems to be devoid of that despite its world hinting at all that from the very beginning.

The story at first is very, very generic for this genre, almost as if you can't see what's so special about it. It takes a couple of chapters to get down to the nitty gritty so I can see why some people drop it before they reach that point. The story is very simple in of itself. The synopsis describes it pretty well and the main conflict reveals itself pretty early too. But simple stories like these help highlight one of the hardest aspects of story-telling. To be honest, as much as I love this series, the story isn't the main highlight of the manhwa. In my opinion, it's the characters and their development throughout the story.

Throughout the story, our main cast of internet novel characters and our "real"-life girl Ham have gone through so much change. The novel characters go from their original reverse harem cookie-cutter personality traits to what they are now...People with realistic thoughts and emotions. As for Ham Dani, she goes from fearing close interaction with the world of Inso's Law to fully embracing the people and love them. While it's not explicitly stated or delved upon, the reason for the novel characters' change is most definitely due to the external effect of Ham Dani's existence in their lives. For those who haven't read this yet, you'll see what I mean.

Ah Hyun's (artist) art also plays a part in the story building. Unlike other mangas/manhwas the growth of the characters are very subtle. Usually when a manga/manhwa transitions characters from junior high to high school, they show some kind of extreme change either that be height, hair style, or size. But the main thing that changed in Inso's Law during this transition in time, were the characters' faces. During the early chapters of Inso's Law, the characters have a much rounder look with simpler eyes. After the cast is in high school and spend time together throughout the years, their eyes brighten and become fuller (more detailed). I think this symbolizes how the novel characters become more human and how Ham Dani comes to accept her new world. While some probably assumed this was the natural course of an artist getting better at perfecting their style, I believe this was done for a reason. Ah Hyun's last work, Oh Holy, has the same style as the older version of the cast of Inso's Law so that's my case on that.

In the end, I'd like to make the extreme longshot comparison that Inso's Law is kinda like Fullmetal Alchemist: Brotherhood. Now before you question me, I'll explain. Both series tackle a pretty scary/serious topic for the main character and while occasionally always hinting at the inevitable for these characters, the cast of each always find ways to bring smiles to everyone despite that no matter what. And that's what I love about Inso's Law. Humans live to survive, but they live for fulfillment and Inso's Law encapsulates all of that.

The characters are sophisticated, when you first come across the characters you think they’re gonna be very trope-y but they instead feel quite real and have their own faults. it uses some cliches but never takes it too far, it’s filled with drama and plot but never gets confusing. The first 17 chapters are really just perfection like there is nothing to complain about. Also it doesn’t have any contractions in the story.

Complaints: no physical English version, in season 4 not much happened, no idea how the story is gonna flow from here. Novel isn’t done yet. Some people might not like how long it ...

Plot summary: Ham Dan-i awakens in a seemingly parallel universe -- one where she is best friends with a gorgeous main character Ban Yeoreong and several 'Kings' of her 'new' high school who all live strangely idyllic lives. She realizes she is in a world akin to an Internet Novel type story, and must choose whether she truly accepts this new life and being a "main character".

Overall score: 9/10; a personal favorite of isekai stories. Dan-i's interactions with her new world start off with a lot of anxiety and fear surrounding her situation -- a fresh realism that doesn't go away easily, and in fact ...
