November TBR: Mythology Webtoons

There’s a special place in my heart for everything related to mythology. I find it very relaxing to read about the life of gods and demigods.

When I was very young, my grandma used to read to me stories from an Asian mythology inspired book. When she passed away, I took the book with me.

My first ever present was a book inspired by Greek Mythology, a 2 volume series called “The Legends of Olympus” by Alexandru Mitru. I’ve known about Achilles & Patroclus since I was six years old.

One of my favorite shows growing up was Stargate SG1 – a SF show with Egyptian gods (who were actually aliens).

I’m feeling nostalgic so I’ve decided that during November I’d like to immerse myself fully in mythology retellings of all kinds, manga, webtoons or books.

Here are the webtoons that I’ll read in November.
