That was my take after reading the chapters. It feels like a lot it's missing or left implied just to fit the chapter's panels. I really think just by reading the incipit that this is very well written which I find refreshing and enticing at the same time. Can you point us towards an English translation of the novel if you know any?
Oh good I taught it was only me find it's missing a lot out
Do you know the name of the novel by chance and the author
Can you please put the link of the novel pls
To every one who wants the novel, search up Gentle Forest on novel_upates (remove the dash) and it should lead you to it. If you can’t open the link, then search for the English translation on Wattpad under the same name.
If you want good BL novels, then I def suggest looking on novel updates, they have a lot of stuff besides BL as well. And be warned that I wasn’t joking with the amount of details in this novel, it’s a lot, but the smut is well written so ლ(´ڡ`ლ)
It’s missing a lot of details from the novel, though I understand because this author reallyyyyyy likes to write things out in a super heavy detailed way, and that’s alright because it’s an adaptation. However, I think it’s missing some parts that made me a little emotional, the little things that you can relate with, like the actual REAL awkwardness that the MC felt so much with Aiden. Like it felt so real in the novel, but barely comes across here, especially in the first meeting.
I haven’t gotten past the first chapter of the webtoon, but I’ll stick with the novel, because it’s already skipped some stuff I thought would be adapted, though there is a lot of exposition in the first chapter.
Of course, if you aren’t into lots and lots of detail, this would prob be better, but the emotions def come across better in the novel and way more relatable with the Seowon’s/MC’s thoughts. It dwelled into his mind a lot throughout, which is understandable since it’s mainly about his feelings.
20-30ish panels in the webtoon though, we missed literally a lot of the exposition and his thoughts on the matter (which are really important imo and build on his values and understanding of the world around him for later conflicts).
But good luck to those who read this adaptation. (=・ω・=)
