Frrrr, I thought the violence was lacking compared to what that mf did in the novel!
Also in the novel she specifically recalls the stable scene in like chapter 14-16 (both) where she brings Izek a whip instead of an apple due to his vague wording and he is like visibly disturbed by the implications of this and tosses it away. He can’t communicate for shit and their relationship was rocky at the time, so it didn’t have the same impact it does now, but it was a specific rejection of that kind of violence in a place she always associated with ab*se. He gave the horses who annoyed him apples instead.
I think the manhwa has toned down the gore in general, because even Izek’s scene in the arena wasn’t nearly as brutal as the novel, same goes with a few other scenes. Like she’s supposed to have bits of glass in her forehead here
They absolutely had to censor some of this because he’s much more violent during this conversation and there is considerably more blood, it makes everything she says despite the pain really impactful but it’s so brutal like this man deserves to absolute worst
