Let's play is a romance , comedy webtoon from Mongie. It follows Sam , a socially awkward indie game developer. After her first ever game is poorly reviewed by a famous YouTuber , she starts receiving a lot of hate comments from the fans of the YouTuber which throws her life into a disarray. Further complications occur when that very YouTuber moves to her apartment and that too , the room next to hers.
First and foremost , the webtoon is really well written. The author herself follows a lot of "let's play YouTubers" , so she knows how tough their job can be and manages to show this aspect really well. At the same time she , being in the creative field , also understands how hate comments can affect a creators life. This allows her to do justice to both sides of the coin and she is able to justify all the actions that each of these characters take. This strong writing mixed with some brilliant art ensures a great time for the readers. The webtoon also has a fair and balanced amount of comedy in it. The comedic and romantic scenes are timed really well , the romance is more on the light-hearted side rather than being emotionally charged. But this light-heartedness works really well with how the story is structured and no doubt there are serious scenes here and there , which are also timed really well.
The artist also uses all the tools at her disposal to perfection , for example , she adds soothing music to few chapters here and there which creates a really nice atmosphere for the reader. In the most recent chapter , she also made use of moving images which really stamped the comedic quality of the scene. This kind of story telling makes the reader feel that the author is willing to put their everything into the webtoon and really puts a nice impression.
Another great thing about the webtoon is it's supporting cast. It is one of the most diverse and interesting cast I have ever seen , every character has a different and likeable personality. There is not a single character that I thought to be worthless , each and everyone of them were great to look at and to read about. This diverse cast also ensures a lot of potential for future storytelling as we might receive chapters focussed on only these side characters and frankly , I am really looking forward to see more of these characters. The webtoon is 39 chapters in and already we have seen considerable amount of character development and if you know me , I am a sucker for character development , so it was welcoming to see a good amount of it.
My only fear is the webtoon turning into a mindless reverse harem. There are slight hints of this happening , but to be honest , I don't really think that would happen and I am probably just nitpicking at this point , so I am not too afraid for the future of the webtoon and really looking forward to furthur developments in the story. And by this , I don't mean that I am against it turning into a reverse harem , if it does and is able to continue providing a good enjoyable story with character progression then I am fine with it.
Overall , this webtoon is something that I would recommend to everyone and there is no harm to give it a go , after all you can read it legally and for free on the LINE webtoon app.
