The art and composition in season one was what made me drawn to the story and, most importantly, the heroine. Of course, it never offered the best imagery you could imagine, especially the dynamic scenes like fighting (which weren't really the focus of the story, so it's alright), but you could see how the heroine was frail, sick, ethereal even. The portrayed emotions were more genuine and sincere.
Now, the new art is not the worst, but it's too... trite. Would be quite a good match for your run-of-the-mill reincarnation into the "villainess" webtoon. The raised saturation surely was a choice though. Furthermore, the proportions are distinctly off, and the eyes, although very bright with high contrast and blacks, ironically lack the soul. Still, they look quite doll-ish, I will give them that
Regardless, it's good that the adaptation gets the continuation.
