The world ended and it had a new season and/or a reboot with new animation

35

u/Expert_Law1936 Jul 05 '25

I saw some people talking about the new animation style but I didn’t know the explanation was because the world ended. Wow.

41

u/Kirosh2 Reincarnator Jul 05 '25

That's just an excuse.

The real reason is because the assets do not work anymore on Maya, so they decided to change the engine, and go to Unreal instead.

u/theorigamiwaffle Jul 05 '25

For reals???

I love me a dark ending.

u/Breakfast-Socks If Evil, Why Hot? Jul 05 '25

I still can't believe I started watching it when I was 9/10 and now I'm a full ass 20 year old. And I still watch it 😭

Omg is this still going?

They got together a couple years ago.

u/Ms_Zee Jul 06 '25

Did they actually???

u/Ch0c0_Biscuit Jul 05 '25

Me too. It's been soo many years. Like please, at this point I just wanna see the ending before I'll become an old granny 😭

u/[deleted] Jul 05 '25

They got together years ago. I just read that chapter and left it there. That's what I was waiting for

u/Anonamaton Jul 05 '25

I started Skip Beat in elementary school 💀

u/Wonderful_Mistake_61 Jul 05 '25

Started Skip Beat after Tokyo Crazy Paradise when my youngest was a baby. She’s now in 10th grade. 😭

3

u/MyNameIsJohnJJSAMA Jul 05 '25

I started skip beat when I was a freshman in college. And it was up to volume 20+ in published form.

2

u/mezmezmeeez Jul 06 '25

Omg same! Skip Beat was actually the reason I got into kpop back then, cause it had a god awful Taiwanese live action in which both male leads were from a kpop group. Good old days, can't believe it's still ongoing.

u/PetrockX Jul 05 '25

This is me with Berserk back in 2004. Just graduated high school. 😩

how is it? rating out of 10? i wanna give it a go

72

u/GreenSeparate3186 Divine Being Jul 05 '25

Like a 2. It's really not that good and you can see most people in the comments are celebrating the fact that it's ended because it dragged on for sooooo long.

39

u/SuzukiSatou Usurper Jul 05 '25

FL spends 90% of the Manhwa acting cute as a kid and doing unnecessary shits that isnt progressing the story. One the the most boring ass and disappointing Manhwa out there. Wasted potential considering the art is decent

2

u/WildFlemima Jul 05 '25

Weren't there toddler bathumps too? That's when i dropped

8

u/Fantastic_Bed_8662 Jul 05 '25

A 1 only because it has okay art. But the story is horrible.

2

u/MissLogios Overworked Jul 12 '25

I've read it. It's honestly a 3 out of 10 and I'm being generous.

Strong start, but it quickly devolves into a cluster fuck mess of a plot that hardly makes sense. Sections of the story take way too much to read through (her baby arc did not need to go that long) and most of it was centered around her having a kpop career that made no sense either.

Plus if you hate cliche tropes, then you'll hate this. Every single Isekai trope you could think of is in it, barring like incestuous brothers and the ML being the one to kill her. And the FL is aggravating and overly cutesy all the time, like a shitty Mashup of being the author's Mary Sue and self-insert OC.

You can tell, by my own words on how much I hate Lady Baby.

1

u/Mochi-Friesia Sep 15 '25

no it is not the ML who tried to kill her in her past lifee and the kpop era was a misunderstanding the reason for singing was that is the manifestation of her powers as saint. And the punk look was a one time thing, honestly they shouldnt have done that look and if they did everyone would not drop this. The only bad side was the long and slow pacing of story but if you read it now in one go, evrything fell into place. It has a cute love story too and i love lippee still.

2

u/MissLogios Overworked Sep 15 '25

I didn't say ML killed her. I said it had almost every anime trope barring (fancy word for "except for") incest brothers and that particular trope.

Also I know the reasons for the singing. I very much did read it, but it still doesn't negate the fact that it's a very shallow reason, and the pacing is way more than being just "slow." It's freaking 239 chapters, which is only barely beaten out by more plot-heavy stories like The Villainess Lives Twice (at 257/259), but unlike TVLT, there's way too much empty space and filler chapters that do little for advancing the plot. Not to mention, the poor character development, FL being a Mary Sue, and nonsensical side plots that also made zero sense.

I'm not against cliche or love stories, especially if they know they're a cliche but still work to make it a well-written cliche. For example, Empress of Another World: that one was short and sweet, and especially straight to the point. But Lady Baby? Outside of the art, nothing about the story is interesting enough to justify just how long it ran.

Of course, that's just my opinion. I'm glad you liked it, though!

IT ACTUALLY ENDED?? I thought it would go for at least another decade

145

u/Nyx_is_hoe Overworked Jul 05 '25

I was hoping my grandchildren can read season 400 of this manhwa fr.

38

u/KrockYoko Sunfish Jul 05 '25

I was hoping my kids kids kids would have kids by the time it ended😔

u/catladypalace Jul 05 '25

You never know, there could be 200 chapter of side story.

Beating the second coming of Detective Conan allegations.

u/ravingrixh13 Jul 05 '25

Did she get her revenge?

281

u/YunJingyi Jul 05 '25

Did they explain the appearance of the woman who let her go back in time?

u/Kazuhiko96 Jul 05 '25 edited Jul 05 '25

The Flying Whale and the singing thing? What was it the earth Wich need to breath whatever-

12

u/Cerulean_Shadows Jul 05 '25

From reading your comment, my first thought was the singing thingy was a potted petunia.... Hitchhikers Guide to the Galaxy.. and I'm absolutely laughing myself silly

21

u/YunJingyi Jul 05 '25

This story made absolutely no sense. To this day I wonder why it wasn't axed on season 2.

10

u/Cerulean_Shadows Jul 05 '25

Agreed. I stopped reading early on. Can't imagine sticking around long enough to get to the end

3

u/Kazuhiko96 Jul 06 '25

It made sense... Till the Flying Whale... In my opinion, I have a vivid memory of that for how absurd it was and that I dropped it not too much after, because I felt the Plot was lost by then. It started cool, the Genius Child thing doesn't make me feel itchy at all, or creeped nonetheless, and the Singing was ok till then, as the plot is about understand why and how she turned back in time, the mysterious death of her family etc. But the whole "Sing for make the land Breath?" I guessed right and ditched it, Sadly because I truly liked the characters and the art...

76

u/2incredible Jul 05 '25

This is all I want to know. Like did that ever come back? Was her original goal ever mentioned again? Was it ever established why she regressed?

39

u/sumirina Recyclable Trash Jul 05 '25

Looking through the comments, nobody seems to be able to answer that 🫣 is there really nobody around that continued reading the series? It's staggering how so many people have started reading it but everyone seems to have dropped it sooner or later 😅

16

u/Platinumtide Jul 05 '25

I was still up to date 5-6 months ago and it didn’t seem anywhere close to finishing. They must have done a lot more time skips.

6

u/YunJingyi Jul 06 '25

Or It got axed.

1

u/Missingnoleader Jul 19 '25

Yes, the entire last two seasons is confronting why she came to the past now that she's got the power, at that point she's been aged fully to adulthood. Everything is actually explained.

273

u/[deleted] Jul 05 '25

The start was cute but I dropped it when she decided to pursue her singing career. But I'm glad she got a happy ending.

264

u/AmethystMoon420 Jul 05 '25

So did she finally solve her family's murder (or whatever was the reason she regressed)

141

u/Unanoni Jul 05 '25

So did she sing in her own wedding lol

123

u/[deleted] Jul 05 '25 edited Jul 05 '25

With the duration it took, the title should’ve been lady adult.

Lady Grows Up.

u/thesestraylines Women’s Wrongs Supporter Jul 05 '25

I wanted to read this because I like the artstyle but saw a lot of… comments HAHA, to those who did read this: was it good? 👀

90

u/lunawithanL Spill the Tea Jul 05 '25

They kinda go off plot after a while from what I heard.

136

u/softlygone Jul 05 '25

It went off from murder mystery to kpop idol career for a good few years ngl so I might pick it back up now to see the original plot finally unfold

51

u/AlternativePlayful34 Jul 05 '25

Wait, I know she stayed a baby for a long time and that the plot strayed from the murder mystery but K-pop? Seriously?

70

u/softlygone Jul 05 '25

She was a singer-slash-model preteen?teen? with fans 🤩

7

u/ShinyStarSam Jul 05 '25

Wait it's not set in a fantasy world?

15

u/Star-Candy Jul 05 '25

It is, but there are cameras (new invention ig) and she becomes a model for their business. The singing was at a bar too.

51

u/VenusSmurf Jul 05 '25

The author forgot there was a plot. The MC was supposed to be saving her family from being murdered again but keeps doing things that either don't help her achieve that goal or instead puts her family in more danger. And, of course, everything she does is just so adorable that everyone loves her just for existing.

This was the worst Mary Sue I've ever encountered.

1

u/MeaningMuted8964 Jul 06 '25

me too! Almost 90% of its readers said that it was not bad but not good,it seems that the author kept going in circles and didn't focus on the plot and the fl was just a cute creature in the OI ,so readers got bored...

1

u/Decent-Shame6514 Jul 07 '25

Don’t read it I started it in middle school and I am now in my last year of high school, the plot get lost mid story and it’s just annoying having to see her as a baby 100+ chapters

80

u/Icy-Spirit-5892 Questionable Morals Jul 05 '25

Kudos to the artist for the quality art from start to finish!

73

u/verymuchrandomname Hidden Route Jul 05 '25

I'm shocked a little because I genuinely thought it'd be one of those stories that has 300+ chapters

125

u/EdgySadness09 Jul 05 '25

Huh? I felt like it was only recently she became a teen+ from a baby. I thought it’d take a long while till her adult/end. She got a glow up so hard too in this pic ngl

Alright, it's time to read this from Chapter 1 again. I remember dropping somewhere in the middle of K-POP phase.

u/cokecathatesfish Guillotine-chan Jul 05 '25

I remember picking it up because the cover had a guy with white hair and blue eyes - unique for a male lead in those times - and this guy didn't show up for like 80 something chapters while the whole world was falling at her feet. Insane.

u/JustForYuu Jul 05 '25

So… did shet get her revenge? Coz I stop reading this when girlie suddenly become an idol

u/blondejungwoo Women’s Wrongs Supporter Jul 05 '25

i started reading in 2020 or 2021 (i think?) and i was like omfg she’s still 5 and we’re like a 100 chapters in when is she growing up? 😭😭😭 my sisters and i would talk sh*t about this one since it dragged and it’s lowkey weird that she is just a kid for like 90% of the story (at the time? idk i havent read since chapter 80 or 90) so the fact that it’s finally over is lowkey crazy💀 this seemed like one of those stories that would never end

2

u/Crystal_Paradise Unrecyclable Trash Jul 05 '25

ok i can’t say the plot was too coherent but i gotta give it to them, the art looks mostly the same as season 1 which is more than what i can say for most OI out there

I don't even remember what this was about and why I dropped it-

I was so sure this would go on for like 500 chapters because I left around 100 chapters and she was still a 13 y/o

1

u/GloriousLily Women’s Wrongs Supporter Jul 05 '25

i do so much better with long series like this by binging it all after it ends i might go back in just so i can see if any of the mysteries of her familys murder were ever actually solved 😂

u/Layla_Lux10 Jul 06 '25

Well from what I remember I got bored cause she stayed a baby for too long BUT nothing will beat Daughter of the Emperor and one whose name I can't remember but esentialy FL was reincarnated in a world where women were treated like trash and there was a modern setting with an emperor and in these two stories they stay as babies for SO LONG it makes you sleep. I almost pulled through the first one but gave up on the 1st one cause she was kinda insufferable when she grew up and the second was kinda boring.

u/glimmeringcrow Jul 06 '25
