But because she’s beautiful, weed gained a ton of levels from sculpting her. They’re all masterpiece/grandmasterpiece. She adds a lot to the story and weed’s growth. It is kore obvious in the novel I guess.
Eh it would’ve been a better story if he didn’t just sculpt her and her face. There would’ve been more depth to his character and art in my opinion.
I see the point of him sculpting her, and that it motivated him to put in more effort and therefore he got more out of it, but I really would have liked if he got inspired by people he met more often. I think personally, like you said, would have added more depth to the character overall
Am I only one that sees no point in the long haired girl. She literally does nothing except be beautiful.
