Legit I dropped it near the beginning because what is this paneling and pacing. Like, even with good translations(on another site), the way things are drawn and paneled completely ruins it and makes things so confusing.

Also like, there’s only shots of backgrounds, really zoomed in close-ups, and the back of characters. Like, please draw the actual characters coherently interacting with each other and let the characters breathe in the background/give them extra space in the scene, cause they just look so suffocated, and it can get confusing when you literally have to take a minute to figure out what’s happening in the panel because you zoomed in too much.

I feel like the author is afraid to draw faces and even more afraid to draw the character’s bodies or something. It just feels so odd.

Also the fact that the character’s mouths don’t open throws me off lol

As someone who reads way too much manhwas and likes compositioning scenes for stories, this is truly hitting me in the gut. Especially since I was looking forward to the story.

    I have to agree with this. Had to drop in chapter 9. It's so confusing. Pacing, zooming, the unemotional faces.. sometimes having hard time figuring out who speaks. Usually I don't even notice things like paneling but here it's so clear that something is wrong. I'm disappointed

    Yeah at first I was confused why it read weirdly and why I was so confused but then I suddenly realized all the close zoom ins and stuff
