Exactly and the with romance and the constant attention which is required, can take up a bulk of the story. Which a lot of people didn’t ask for or wearn’t interested in. In SL the romance is forced and other the jinwoo no other character has good development. It’s saved by its awesome art and jinwoo strength and op moments.
Idk if u read the novel or not - but in SL, when jinwoo meets haein for the 1st time at the gate her aura and that she could feel his presence when he released his power for a slight second really surprised him cuz no one, even the other s ranker didn't feel it. In south korea, after jinwoo, haein is the strongest active hunter (not just in terms of strength) according to him. While she was interested in him first, he became interested in her as a woman after she calls him her friend. Which i think no one called him in a long time? Or maybe he doesn't have. It was just cuz of this. No special reason is needed to like or be interested in someone (not just considering strength or looks) but yeah
I agree with you. I honestly hate jinwooxHaein slander. I remember the time where ppl here literally hated her just because she's showing feelings I wish those haters just leave them alone.
I hate it when people hate on the artists, I mean they’re just following the novel.
i wouldn't say I'm hating on it, if fact it's the opposite. i feel the representation of their relationship isn't good enough. I have only seen SL webtoon, no novel for me (yet) and a key problem for me in the webtoon is how we get very little characterization outside of Jin-woo. Part of the problem is that he is so OP that everyone else is kinda obsolete. Like he doesn't even need to team up with others level of obsolete. It makes it hard for Jin-woo to want to interact with others. I
I like Chae in. From the 1st chapter we see of her we saw how considerate she is to patrol and keep the miners safe. I can see Jin-woo admiring this kindness in her, and yet I feel we don't get that. Equally as a trope you see female characters falling for an Op male character, and it makes it feel like they care only for power. i can see why people dislike the ship if they view chae-in as a shallow character. This is why I said romance is just pasted in many action oriented series. It would be great if we saw more and that they learned more about each other, like how Jin-woo is a guy who supported his sister and mother for years when he was E ranked. The lack of these small detail is what makes me think the romance was done poorly, and it would be better to not add romance if they do it like this.
I love to read webnovels if there are translations for webtoons, and as someone who has read both for many stories, be it this genre or romance novels, sadly i do get upset from the way it shows on the webtoon but you can't do anything about it.
In a novel a characters thoughts, or a description of a particular place, scene or action has a lot of detail to enable the readers to picture it in their head clearly.
In webtoons, there's only so much of someone's thoughts or actions they can portray. It's a flaw that can't help but exist because it's supposed to be a comic and not a novel.
There are quite a few scenes in this story and many others, where I may have pictured a characters thoughts to be in a certain manner but when I read the novel it turns out to be something different. Because there's only so much that the artist can draw and portray - especially the slightest of emotions.
So definitely, there may be times when the readers don't understand why they are acting or saying this or that in a webtoon, but that's because they cut many small lines and scenes from the novel to fit it in a chapter. So towards the end, there may be a big gap in understanding for only a webtoon reader and a webtoon/novel reader.
There is a huge ass problem with action and romance. Action focuses on the adventure and the struggle of the journey. There are some very good relationship developments, but those are usually based on a painful past and overcoming them together (ie you saved my life from this situation, let me help you kill the demon and avenge my family, ect.) but romance requires constant attention and deeper depth. Usually action just pastes romance in, and it sucks. Look at solo leveling. In my opinion chae-in and Jin woo haven't had any meaningful interactions. Likee why would Jin Woo be interested in her? Really interested to start a serious relationship? From what I've read so far the relationship just seems very forced.
This one scene where secretary Cha is reading manga is honestly one of the best inter actions I've ever seen with a potential romantic partner. It has more romance simply because we get to see a facet of who she truly is and she connects with Jun-ho through a shared interest while again exposing their personalities and having genuine fun with each other. 10/10 for this simple scene that develops the story very well
