Lol, I was thinking the exact same thing! This dynamic is honestly hilarious, and I've read a bit ahead of the novel, so I can see that it's definitely similar.
is the novel worth it?
It is! I jumped into the novel the moment I finished the manhua. And there isn't much of a difference between the novel and webcomic from what I've read so far. But there will always be a difference between seeing the art with your own eyes vs imagining the scenes in your head. So do whichever you like best!
this remind me of the relationship between the mc(forgot his name) and the rabbit from Dungeon Reset
