I don't know what you're complaining about cause the art change was objectively an improvement. Consistency is better than the first couple chapters and so is line confidence, colour, and shape. I also disagree about calling it generic. It's unique enough to be recognisable to me, at least. Though, I might have a different idea of what generic is. ╮(￣▽￣)╭
how is it unique if you blink and every tower climbing mc has the same look?
At least the previous style the mc's face shape was very recognisable. Also why are you lying about consistency or did you just want to argue?
Compare
ch 75, page 14
vs ch 52 page 6
The difference is like night and day! bffr
where as the current chapter heavily focus on the fight and fantasy scenes to look good, leaving the talking scenes looking like they were rushed to fit. Vs the previous style where it's consistent in colour and care despite what is currently happening in the story.
Oh I actually forgot about the art change Σ( ￣□￣||), probably cause I marinate it for some time. And I'm already used to the current art
I'm not here to argue so this will be my last response.
The mc designs are generic, yes, but the art style itself is at least distinguishable from others to an extent. There is a difference between design and style. The style at least makes this series distinguishable from others to me.
Consistency refers to how the characters are drawn within chapters, not necessarily over time. Of course an art style will change over time so ofc there'll be a difference in 20 chapters.
What I don't understand is how you're acting like the art has regressed. From the newer chapters, it's clear that the artist has grown and the choices they made are, in my opinion, improving the overall look and consistency of the art. In the first couple chapters I noticed how the colouring and lighting wasn't ideal and how the characters were drawn shakily, especially the hair wasn't ideal in terms of shape. Not that it was bad in any regard, just that I could notice points of improvement. In that sense the art has definitely improved over time. I don't understand how that can be a bad thing or 'painful' to witness, in your words.
smart, I feel like the later chapters have gotten smoother tho so it's more towards the old style
I'm on chapter 75 and wow this art change is so painful, like it's so clear the more chapters come how generic the mc looks and also they don't seem consistent either. that group scene had me questioning if I could handle this.
