I didn't like this book. It took too long getting into the guts of the story. The demon seemed to be having a midlife crisis and I didn't like the main character. The most interesting thing in this story was the sister's plot but they quickly dropped it so at that point I was over it. I could not finish this.

I throughly enjoyed reading this! I found myself laughing a lot. The storyline was unique and held my attention the whole way through. I also really loved the art style! I definitely plan to continue reading this series!

Read on November 2nd, 2024. Written on November 3rd, 2024.

~2.5~

I wasn't sure what I expected, but this wasn't it. Though there were some laugh-out-loud moments, and the illustrations were quite good, I felt lost and sometimes even thought "What I am reading?". I expected more...more? More actual moments of love advice? More silly moments between the main character, Paul, and the Great Duke of Hell? I honestly don't know. It felt like there was something missing. Some pieces of the puzzle just weren't fitting into the story, and others were left out.

Thank you anyway for the opportunity to read this, I am sort of interested in seeing what Volume Two could bring, especially with the way the first one ended.

This book was so funny! I loved the dark humor and it had me laughing out loud. I would absolutely recommend it and can't wait for the series to continue.

Paul summons a demon, the title mentioned Great Duke of Hell, and instead of picking something like taking over the world or any evil scheme, he wants help getting a date lol
This was hilarious! It was so unserious, it was fantastic. The fish bartender/revenge mastermind (it makes sense when you read it I promise) was my favorite character in this.
Thank you to NetGalley and Wattpad WEBTOON Book Group for the chance to read this! All opinions are my own :)

I was already familiar with this WEBTOON title and it was a pleasant surprise to find out that it's going to be released in physical form: uncompromising and totally crazy fun that made me laugh out loud! I recommend it to anyone who wants a quick and funny read.

It's a webtoon that at first heavily leans on meme humor. The plot zips along with a great pace and introduces a lot of new characters. It doesn't do much with the form, but it's more cleveer than funny.

What the heck did I just read? A boy, because that’s all I can think of him as, summons the great Duke of Hell to help him get the girl of his dreams that works at a restaurant. He makes friends with another guy that seems scared of everything and tells the great Duke of Hell he can go back to hell. His sister goes missing because she realizes there’s a demon in the house and I’m going to must kill him. And something is off with the girl who works at the café. This is just book one. I’m not sure if I want to stay or not. I finished it to the end, and it did get interesting when the great Duke of hell put on his human form. But I’m not sure it’s interesting enough to pick up the next book. The illustrations are OK, but I do find that some of it feels like it’s only half done.

This is a book that does well with humor and keeps the reader engaged. It's a fun and interesting read that pushes you to love almost every character you come across. I had already read the WEBTOON so seeing that this was becoming a novel was really exciting. It was definitely good, but nothing new or original. Pick it up if it's your cup of tea, or don't you won't miss too much from life, but it does add a bit of fun.

Love Advice From the Great Duke of Hell, Vol. 1 by unfins is a humorous paranormal romance graphic novel with horror elements.

A teen summons a Great Duke of Hell for a contract to help him get a date with a girl who works at a local cafe. Chaos ensues.

This was a fun and irreverent read. I ended up laughing out loud several times while I was reading. The art style felt true to the story, especially how kind of scribbly yet intense all of the hellions are.

The story is not told linearly, which was a little confusing to me until I sorted out the timeline. It jumps around a lot to different characters, so if you prefer more streamlined plots this might not be the book for you. The main character is also a bit on the unlikeable side, but he is fairly young and naïve. There are several side characters I quite enjoyed.

If you're looking for a graphic novel with absurdist humor and a dash of horror, pick it up!

Hello Fellow Readers,

This book was a rollercoaster of ridiculousness and I enjoyed every minute. It's been much too long since I've laughed out loud, much less smiled at something I've read, but Love Advice from the Great Duke of Hell was hilarious. The title alone should give you a clue as to the wackiness that will ensue throughout this graphic novel. There's just something inherently fun about watching each and every single character misunderstand each other and do the complete opposite of what is expected. There isn't one character who knows what is going on, and it just makes this a perfect quick read for me.

Overall, a fun series I cannot wait to keep reading.

Love Advice From the Great Duke of Hell is equal parts deeply funny and deeply unserious. It's a comical view of what happens when a teenage boy summons a great demon from Hell in order to help him confess to his crush and get her attention.

And, of course, nothing goes well. Nothing at all.

The webtoon is filled with a variety of silly side characters, as well as unrealistic situations of epic proportion, not including mob-like activity, demon cults, and, of course, Demons and their life in Hell. Reading this webtoon is extremely low stakes, high laughs, and perfect for the comical side of Halloween season.

That said, while it is hilarious and enjoyable, sometimes the dialogue relies too heavily on internet meme humor that it draws you out of the silly plotlines entirely. Every few pages showcases another internet meme or in-joke. The story itself has great potential that feels downtrodden by the need to insert as many memes as possible.

Overall, it's fun! It's fun, and silly, and doesn't take itself seriously. I laughed the whole way through volume one!

Thank you netgalley, unfins, and webtoon for the early copy!

The art style reminds me of that all the flashback scenes about the Founder Yimir in AOT, so while it isn't my favorite it also doesn't bother me. It's weird, I find myself liking the characters around the main guy but I don't like the main guy at all. It's also not my kind of humor.

Thanks Netgally for providing me a copy for a review.

Absolutely hilarious! I always enjoy reading WebToon novels but this one I finished in one sitting. I love how the author knew how to incorporate humor in with suspense and tension. The drawing style is unique — funny in some cases but unnerving in others. It’s the perfect balance of darkness and humor.
I look forward to reading the next one in the series!

★ ★ ☆ ☆ ☆ | 2/5

This was....certainly a read. I usually say this with stuff that was published from Wattpad, but you can definitely tell this was a Webtoon first. While I actually really liked the art, the all over the place - yet interconnected - storyline was far too much for me. I wished we had seen more pieces of that story fleshed out as this is only the first volume. I feel like so much happened and was revealed that...didn't need to be. While I know, as I already said, that this was a Webtoon first, I also wonder if story changes could have been made to some of the arcs / panels to make the pacing better and not down the reader's throats.

There were a lot of interesting and good sections and plot threads beginning, but they felt too few and far between for me to want to read future installments.

This might be one of the funniest books of 2024 for me. It had a great sense of humour and didn't take itself too seriously, which was a really nice change. The art and dialogue was engaging and I felt like the characters were a lot of fun. I loved that this guy summons a demon instead of just going over to talk to a girl he likes. Too funny!

3.5 rounded up

Oh, I really loved the art style in this webtoon! It kind of reminded me of early webtoons when everything wasn’t perfectly polished and colored, giving it a lot of character and charm.

The story itself? Extremely chaotic—but in a fun way! There’s always something happening, and the energy is high from start to finish. I’ll admit, though, at times it felt like a bit much. The chaos sometimes tipped over the edge, making the pacing feel a little off.

This definitely isn’t something I would typically read, but honestly, I didn’t regret picking it up. It’s kind of like when you read a debut author—you know the story isn’t quite your thing, but the writing is great, and you still want to support them because you see so much potential. That’s exactly how I felt about this webtoon. The pacing was strange at times, but the art and some of the writing really won me over.

Would you summon a Duke of Hell to help you navigate your love life? I probably would.

This is a lot different from the Webtoons I usually read via the app, but I am so happy I gave this one a chance! The mix of wry humor and absurdity (and quite concerning oblivious behavior from the main character) makes for an entertaining story. I definitely recommend for adult audiences who don't mind satire and a story that doesn't take itself too seriously.

I appreciate Webtoon Book Group and NetGalley for giving me access to this e-arc.

This was cute! Very funny and great personalities on the characters. There are a few moving parts that let me know future volumes will give lots of interesting plot. There are already interesting connections between the characters. My only complaint is that it throws a lot of short scenes at first so it's a little confusing, but by the end I was following along!


Thank you to NetGalley for an e-arc in exchange for an honest review!
