More detailed webtoon review. I'm only pulling my hair due to how annoying she is.
It's a bit long because I'm annoyed and I wanna talk about this on my YouTube with my followers but basically I'm not just sharing my thoughts on this work.
Title: Romance Webtoon Review - Heart Beat Conquest (5/10)
Alright, so let's talk about Heart Beat Conquest. This webtoon? A solid 5/10 for me, and let me explain why.
The story revolves around a girl who dies and gets reincarnated into a harem game world. Yep, that's the entire premise. Pretty typical, right? She wakes up, immediately realizes she's in a game because a notification pops up. But here's the thing—after that one notification, we never see another one for the next 50 chapters. So, like...what was the point? Plot device for the sake of it?
Now, you'd think after dying, she'd be a little shaken or at least reflective, right? Nope. She's weirdly chill about it, even celebrating her new life without a second thought.
So, what grand goal does she set for herself in this magical new world? Exploring the vast fantasy realm? Learning magic? Uncovering the secrets of the world? Maybe going on epic adventures?
Nope. Her goal...is to build a harem.
Yes, out of all possible ambitions, she decides she wants to chase after handsome men. And the wildest part? Comment sections are filled with people cheering her on like this is some empowering move.
But let's be real. If a male lead had made this his whole character motivation—actively pursuing women like trophies—he’d be labeled a creep and rightfully criticized. But because she's a girl, it's supposed to be quirky and fun? Double standards much?
And don’t get me started on how dumb she is about it. She doesn't even bother finding out the identity of the body she's inhabiting. Just jumps straight into collecting pretty boys like Pokémon cards.
Now, you might think, "Okay, but maybe the plot and character development will make up for it? Maybe there’s some hidden depth?"
NOPE. After grinding through 50 chapters, I can confidently say...the plot is trash.
The female lead has zero personality. She claims to want a harem, but she doesn't even like the men—she treats them like decorative dolls. She doesn't love them. Hell, she barely knows them. So why does she want a bunch of handsome guys fawning over her? There's no emotional depth, no believable chemistry. It's tasteless, bland, and completely unconvincing. How are people eating this up?
I've read hundreds of reverse harem webtoons and novels. And let me tell you, only a handful manage to pull off romance well.
In this story? There’s no sensible build-up for the romance. The guys fall for her just because she's...nice to them? Seriously? The bar is in hell, my dude.
And what’s up with these male characters? Do they not interact with women at all? They act like spineless shrimps who lose all sense of self the moment she smiles at them.
Some people say, "Oh, every girl in these stories is the same, but the female lead is different."
But she's literally acting like a bimbo, yet somehow she's supposed to be unique? What?
She's so plain—the female lead, I mean—I didn't even bother to remember her name. Her only goal seems to be collecting a harem, and she reminds me of those supposedly pure yet manipulative female leads in villainess manhwas, the ones who try to brainwash men into liking them while the villainess steps in to save those men from her.
I can confidently say that if this were one of those villainess mangas, people would absolutely hate this girl to oblivion.
I wish she had another hobby or passion. Does she do anything other than study and chase guys? Like, girl, what? She's constantly surrounded by men, and the author tries way too hard to make her act like one of those pure-hearted dating sim protagonists from manga, to the point where it becomes unbearable.
Somehow, she's never wrong. She's always portrayed as the perfect girl in everyone's eyes. And no girl finds it weird that she's surrounded by men all day? If reverse harems are legal in their world, why don't I see anyone else at the school with a harem or reverse harem? Why is she the only exception? What kind of tacky writing is this?
Maybe it's just me, but when a girl in a story actively pursues men as her primary goal, it feels so boring. I prefer reverse harems where the protagonist is just being herself, interacting with everyone naturally, and enjoying her school life while the guys fall for her. I love when the men admire her for her dreams or her personality, not just because she's around them all the time. Give her a personality beyond chasing guys!
Honestly, she acts like a tramp. If this wasn't a web novel, I bet the author would have turned it into straight-up hentai.
The art is undeniably beautiful—I'll give it that—but her personality feels so dry. The same goes for the boys.
Why did they agree so easily to join her so-called harem? They like her for the most ridiculous reasons.

Blonde boy likes her because she pretends to be an innocent nice person? And he knows the real her. And that's the reason he likes her. Literally, what the flying heck. The bar is so damn low at this point it's disappointing. And somehow they kissed in a few days when they had barely gotten to know each other.
It was all just in a few days? Like what the hell is going on? Is the author seriously saying in the whole entire school only she hides her intentions? She's the only one who hides her true self? What elementary school writing is this?
Next, the black-haired boy. She has been rude to him, disrespectful, lies that she liked him in his face because not once has she blushed when she says she liked him unless she's in pretend innocent female lead mode.
Like look at these panels. He liked her just because she looked at him that way? Are you telling me there was no other girl in the entire school who didn't have a crush on him? What's going on? Wasn't he proclaimed to be one of the most handsome? Yet somehow, nobody acts like fangirls or guys, no one talks to them, they've never dated.
And when the black-haired guy is sad and crying, she takes that as playing hard to get? How disgusting can she be? She can't have some empathy and gently ask what's wrong? But no, she proceeds to blame the guy for not liking her advances. She lies to him so much till he eventually agrees to hers.
Purple-haired boy Kalan liked her because he found her cute. They rarely chatted, and he only liked her back because she didn't look down on him for wearing women's clothes. Hah. That's the bar? Really?
And the fact I have seen him wear the dress without his wig to school and walk around with her and no one says anything means that no one actually gave a shit about what he wore, so why was he so worried?
Look at her face when she says she liked Kalan. That is our female lead? A manipulative person who doesn't even like the men? If she was made out to be an evil person, fine. But the author is trying to make her out to be this saint and it's not working.
I wish she had another hobby or passion. Does she do anything other than study and chase guys? Like, girl, what? She's constantly surrounded by men, and the author tries way too hard to make her act like one of those pure-hearted dating sim protagonists from manga, to the point where it becomes unbearable.

The art is undeniably beautiful—I'll give it that—but her personality feels so dry. The same goes for the boys.
Why did they agree so easily to join her so-called harem? They like her for the most ridiculous reasons.
Now, let's talk about the red-haired guy. Why does the female lead like him? Honestly, I have no idea. There’s no chemistry between them at all. She doesn’t do anything interesting, yet all of a sudden, he’s infatuated with her and joins her side after just a few days. They don’t even share common interests. It’s honestly frustrating to read.
And then there’s the female lead. She’s so corny, it’s annoying. The author tries to paint her as this smart manipulator who makes plans to reel in men, but whenever she opens her mouth about men and how she’s not thinking about a future for herself, I just want to scream.
What’s even worse is that she doesn’t even love these men. She just wants them around because they’re handsome and “interesting.”
The conversations between the characters are so dull. There’s barely any meaningful interaction apart from her constantly scheming about the next guy she’s going to pursue. What’s next on her list? It’s all just so tedious. Older manga and anime handled romance so much better.
The characters in those stories had actual conflicts. The female lead was likable, not just because she was the protagonist, but because she did things that made the men care about her. Most older manga or anime heroines were either smart or naïve, but they were always resilient, hard-working, and respectful. Their goals were about studying, uncovering secrets, or personal growth, with relationships as a secondary concern. They faced challenges alongside the guys and developed feelings through those experiences.
This story, though? It’s a mess. The female lead has none of those qualities.
How did these guys fall for her? What’s with the low standards? The female side characters in the story actually seem like nice women, and that just makes the dynamic even worse. They have no hobbies, no school activities, nothing they want to talk about beyond the same old, same old what other men must she catch.
I really can’t stand the female lead. She treats the men like they’re just pieces in her game. What’s worse is we never see her experience any conflicting emotions about her actions. The guys never doubt her. They just act like pathetic followers, which is honestly pretty sad.
Everyone knows about her harem yet no other girl in the entire school decided to want a harem for themselves? The FL has special privileges?
It only shows how more shallow the fl is because everybody is busy with a studies yet it's only her who is catching boys.
