WHY

I think it make sense in the story, since this story revolves around misunderstanding plot. If the mc stayed as a buff guy, it will be easy for the ML to recognize the MC, making the story end fast.

agreed, though interesting to imagine if it were the other way around

Oh my gosh that would be beautiful

twinkification aside it makes sense why the beginning of their story involves a buff Abel.

The Abel in the beginning had to be tough and durable because 1) the prince was feral and would attack like a cornered animal so Abel had to be able to tough so he could handle the little wild prince 2) he also had to be someone that could protect the prince since the prince was still little.

i feel like the twinkification, while not completely necessary, does still make SOME sense.

the new twink Abel is someone that has to be protected cause he's weak - this helps soften a hardened stronger Karas. if he's weak Karas will feel less threatened and warm up to him, then eventually desire to protect new Abel. this doesn't mean new Abel isn't still mentally tough and he's trying to protect Karas in his own way.

furthermore, if he's weaker he'll be underestimated and it'll be easier for him to infiltrate without being considered a threat or at the very least the enemy might not immediately kill him. however, i am worried about his inability to protect himself now that he's physically weaker.

Plus, the exact opposite look very much clash with his old look, which would highlight his personality even more. It would also contradicts his actions, because he's acting like he lived in the forest with a perfectly healthy body, however, even a kid could see that he's anything but healthy. This is the best usage of isekai twinkfication I've ever seen.

What I'm worried more about is that that blond evil dude is gonna do something bad to our cinnamon bun. When it's first mentioned that his type is twinky blond guys wayyy back when buff-Abel was still alive, I already knew he's gonna do something to twink-Abel later. And I'm not looking forward to that

I also thought that if Abel stayed as a buff guy, it will just make it harder for the mc to convince the karas since, the previous fake abels; since all those fake abels is buff, it will look like the council just sent another fake abel to deceive the karas. Which is dangerous since the karas didn't even hesitate to ignore the fake abel in previous episode.

yea that's been my concern since he got twinkified... i saw that he was the exact type of both the duke and the previous king and it is very worrying...
