Spotlight#85/86: Webtoon Ambassador and Youtbers

Have you ever wanted to branch out of a specific topic? If so, then sit back and relax, dear reader, as I shine a light on some Webtoon Ambassadors and Youtubers.

Summary

Long story short, back in late February, Webtoon decided to make an effort to celebrate those who celebrate Webtoon. From what I understand, the ambassador status will be given to many webtoon-related creators across many platforms, from TikTok to youtube. However, this will also cover a couple of webtoon YouTubers since I think they are an underrepresented minority.

Webtoon Ambassadors: First line up

Shy Chef

First up, we have my favorite webtoon ambassador. While famous for his Hardcore Leveling Warrior and Unordinary content, he has far one of the more versatile pallets webtoon-wise. His character analysis and lore videos are almost always on point and have a knack for capturing the essence of webtoons. He also has taken many requests, so there's that too. If you want consistent weekly analysis videos while exploring the blurred theme of a webtoon, then here you go.

Accel Byzantine

A relatively big webtoon reviewer, Byzantine seems to follow a more short and sweet recommendation of webtoons than he is for. He has an animated personality and an animated persona to match these webtoons, and he has some strikingly funny jokes injected in each video. His webtoon list is also one of the more versatile I've seen.

Appsolutetly Geek'd/ Struck by Belz/RTTV/Velo City

A self-proclaimed reactor to all things geek culture; Geek'd to react to everything from anime to western animation. He does seem to be getting more into webtoon, though. Belz also uses the same content but with the added flair of being a couple. Because if you can't experience WEBTOON together, then why are you here? And finally, RTTV takes this to another level as we see a couple of friends share their honest thoughts on media with longer-end videos. Finally, Velo city seems to be the peaceful discussion of 2 friends as they take a dive into the world of vtubers, anime and WEBTOONs.

Helvetica Dubs/Ruka Samuels/Mahen Kouya/ Figure Mii

What's better than reading webtoons? How about listening to them? Dubs, Ruka Mii and Mahen do a great job at bringing the voices of my favorite characters to life and can be a great experience for those too busy to read them. Between the 4there is also some really good editing, singing, and cosplaying as well. There is usually some overlap between the four as well when it comes to WEBTOONs, hence why i clumped them all here. Have fun deciding who's your favorite.

drgerro/caohimemorris/

Our first nonyoutubers on the list but certainly not the last dregerro seems to be an Instagram cosplayer with a couple of webtoon accurate submissions and his website. Caohimemorris also joins dregerro with her TikTok persona as a cosplayer.

maiddraws4/Escape Artist/emmaegamboa/taiyoutori

maiddraws seems to be primarily a TikTok animator with some added voice acting as well. While I don't know much about them, I'm happy to see some more versatility in webtoon's platforms. Emmaegamboa also is a tiktoker who personally is my favorite artist out of the list, with her experience storyboard artist and illustrating experience shining through her very enjoyable content. Escape Artist is also a fun change of pace with their simple animated trailers for webtoons and her website with her cute art. Finally, we have taiyoutori, a nineteen year old South Korean artist who constantly shows off her great sketch art with a bit of a realizing tone. Stay for the vibes, please.

kassieyeung

If you want to get a taste the South Korean life but too broke like most of us, then Kassieyeung is perfect for you. She does a lot of TikTok comedy sketches that are pretty hilarious.

The Yoochan

Another webtoon reactor with a criminally underrated channel. While his selection is a little small, he does have a more palate with The Boxer added to the mix. He also does some Jaxblade style videos as he encourages us all to try to get as ripped as some of our beautiful bois.

Thebiem

This is certainly something new. The biem seems to be an article website for all things webtoon and anime similar to CBR and screenrant. If you want to see some amazing recommendations then check out this site.

Thewebtooners

It seems I've got major competition because the webtooners seem to be doing my job for me. On TikTok, she signs a light on some of the more underappreciated webtoons, and I respect her craft. Go for the recommendations and stay for the comedic tones.

Thy novel

And just when I thought I was out of the webtoon commentators, they pulled me back in. Thy novel's inquisitively interesting Instagram introspection are genuinely interesting and make me doubt my webtoon analysis. Highly recommend checking them out if you want some more webtoon blogs, specifically on I love Yoo and Lore Olympus.

Chibi Reviews

A largely anime and manga analyzer territory, Chibi Reviews always knows how to deliver some pretty great commentary on various manga and anime. He also has a pretty big fanbase with habitual uploads, so you'll probably be able to get some fun recommendations Overall though, he has seemed to adopt a more casual look at the beginning and midpoints of certain webtoons like unordinary, solo leveling, and unholy blood.

Emirichu

Hands down the biggest person on this list, Emichu is a literally animated YouTuber who knows largely for making animatics on various weeb discussions and songs. She arguably has the most popular webtoon-related video outside of the main channel with her review of Lore Olympus. Her stuff is honestly amazing cute, and funny, which I highly recommend.

Chilly Panda

Much like Emirichu Panda, Kelly does document her life through her simple yet adorable art style. She also has a hilarious smash or pass webtoon video on some webtoon husbandos that you should check out. And before you ask, it's a smash for every single one.

Yougelly

Does anyone want some small-time League of Legends content? If so, yougelly is the gamer girl for you! Pull up a seat, grab some gamer juice and relax.

Magrave Offline

Calming voice + manga/ manhua content combination that creates Mangrave Offline. So far, he is the best ambassador for anyone who wants pure manhwa recommendations similar to the greats like HCLW and Solo Leveling while not already being hilariously big. 

Webtoon Youtubers

Now we move on to those who haven't received the status yet but still those I want to talk about. Most of these are YouTubers, though, so keep that in mind.

Someone I'm surprised hasn't gotten the webtoon ambassador status is Dr. Bonehead, one of my favorite webtoon YouTubers on the site. While he is also an anituber with his videos on attack on titan and Jujitsu Kaisen, he has centered his topics mainly on Tower of God with his work on its official manwha dub and lore videos in the works. He also recently got into God of high school and holds live streams on his channel every Tuesday, so watch out for that. I love his personality, and I think he has the fanbase to gain the status as he hopefully branches into other webtoons.

Fear

A far more formal and faceless webtoon YouTuber, Fear seems to be the opposite of Bonehead as he focuses a lot on Goh content. However, he is also branched out into both the boxer and Solo Leveling as a result. He seems to be good at not only selling the webtoon to people but also selling multiple characters he covers.

Supreme Uchiha

Probably the smallest channel on the list Supreme Uchiha mainly focuses his efforts on many different media from anime to tv shows. That said, he has made many webtoon discussions on both Lookism, Weak hero, Windbreaker, Unordinary, and Dr. Frost. If you want a more laid-back yet deep analysis of chapters and characters, please tune into him.

Digidestined39

Similar to Dr. Bonehead, Digidestined39 does a lot more webtoon reactions, mainly TOG, I Love Yoo, Noblesse, Lookism, Unordinary, and Lumine.

Titi A

Suppose you want more uncut or blunt opinions on certain webtoon characters than Titi A is the woman for you. So far, she is easily the one creator with the most commentary on more modern webtoons, thus giving her the 411 on any new reader needs.

Epilogue

And that was it. I'm sorry I couldn't give more commentary, but I didn't know about these guys till now. This probably means that I'll have to be doing a lot of editing and info gathering after this is all said and done. I highly recommend going to the webtoon ambassador youtube videos so you can get links to all the people I've mentioned. And overall, I'm very much excited about this program.

Don't get me wrong, despite the name; I do understand webtoon is not a perfect site. I know stories like Lore Olympus and Let's Play can have bad messages, and I know only a select minority get chosen for the webtoon original status. I know that it gets constantly bombarded with internet scams and toxic comments. And I know that the daily pass system can get annoying.

That all being said, I love Webtoon's flaws and all, and I'm happy they're supporting people who love it. Despite the huge subscriber base, Webtoon's overall video consistent view count can be pretty wack, but hopefully, when it gets bigger, the site can get more experimental. I'm also all for more people sharing the spotlight with me and hope one of these days; webtoon content creators can become more common. Hell, I also hope webtoon creators on Youtube can get more love as well. Because if I learned anything from over two years of writing, sites like Webtoon for all the bs it brings can help foster more and more stories to grow. Because without, I wouldn't be able to tell mine, simple as that. So with this double feature over, let's see where the spotlight takes us next.
