I've heard so much about this series on WebToons and I thought to give it a try and I'm glad I did! It provides a very interesting spin on Greek mythology. And I love the watercolor artwork! It is so breathtaking to read through. But Rachel Smythe manages to bring a mythological story into the modern age with yes, romance but with stemming with social issues and themes that are relevant to the contemporary reader.

 Lore Olympus has been in my general area of being on the internet for a long time. I used to be a far more avid fangirl online and in that time Lore Olympus continued to follow me. However, for whatever reason, it just didn’t grab me. I somehow managed to watch a 5-hour long video essay on it, as well as read the first five episodes, and yet it eluded me. That was until I saw the first volume at my local target and my dear book friends suggested for us to read it together. This was a fatal mistake because I tore this book from cover to cover and was done with it after two days. Now I’m a LO maniac and I’m on the hunt for more content, I reinstalled webtoon, I’m looking for fan forums, more video essays. It grabbed me by the heart and now I’m stuck. I can’t escape this life now, I’ve become obsessed and can’t wait for the next volume to drop in July (yeah of course I already know, I told you I’ve been searching). The reimaging of this beloved myth is both creative and captivating, the art style is unmatched, and while a little cringe at times the writing is lighthearted and fun. You can trust and believe that I will be watching the show as soon as it drops.

I've been a fan of Lore since I discovered it on Webtoons.  And while I am up to date with the releases, you best believe I will buy every last one of these bound volumes.  The art is visually satisfying and changes over time.  I know there is some hate with this story but in all honesty, I love it.  Though I will need to note there are triggers for emotional abuse, sexual assault, child abuse, and probably a few others that I didn't register.  So please read at your own discretion.
