I totally agree, the art was definitely more sophisticated at the beginning
Some authors artstyle changes during a series. I think this is the same case, the author might be experiencing on new artstyle but who knowss
right?? there was a lot less shading, and the hair started looking flat and floppy lmao. and their noses looked really elongated.
maybe thats the case, and I totally don't mind if the art style changed (I've seen a lot of manhwa that changes throughout the series). But it just feels like for this particular series there was a lot less effort and sophistication in the artwork towards the later half rather than an artstyle change. im still looking forward to the authors future works though :)
But I feel like the art changed a lot towards the last 1/3 of the story? Like I remember one of the reasons I started this manhwa was because the art was so pretty, but the recent updates made me do a double take. Idk if maybe the author got tired of the drawing the characters and story in general because it felt like a lot less effort compared to the beginning (don't get me wrong, the plot was great the entire time. just talking about the art).
