some novel spoilers
Officially disappointed with this adaptation I understand that maybe the artist didn't have the time or something but to many changes to the novel, like why would you just decide, oh hey we don’t need to show this part, oh we can change this and that. Nooo, why did they skip the best parts!! I was already on the fence when they changed the kidnapping scene, like the open backdoor scene, Ediths family sent her a letter with a “device” so she would place it at the door and it would stay open even after it is locked, and create and opening so they could kidnap Liz and the Duchess, OG Edith did it but 13th Edith did not, and she and Liz where both like Night patrolling. Because of this Edith started suspecting Liz more too. There where some parts that i was actually glad they changed a bit, like less torture for Edith, cuz in the novel there was more blood that what was shown (understand for censorship issues) so after a bit i stop caring but it is to much now, they literally summarize like 15 chapters and changed a lot of parts that didn't need/deserve changing, i wanted to see the part where Liz was screaming and begging at Edith so she wouldn’t break the 3rd exception, and now they are going to the infirmary where the Duchess is but she was supposed to go to a Cell so that Liz can do her crazy bit and Killian realizes that Liz was the one trying to kill Edith this whole time. And why this redemption arc for the Author, like she was not someone that wanted to leave the novel, Edith went inside the novel so that the author could continue her fantasy, thats why theres been 13 Ediths, she loved being Liz and was completely obsessed on making sure Edith died so Liz could live forever as she was, young/beautiful and loved by all, if there was a novel chapter showing that the author didn't actually want to be in the novel, i didn't read it. I don't know how they will change that here, and now im just sad that the artist derailed the story so much, it should not be hard to stick to the story even if they need to take some extra time to complete it or if they cant complete it, then delegated it to someone who will. Sorry if this upsets anyone, this just happens so many times and i still don’t understand how the artists are not understanding that changing the story so much changes its tune, at some point it doesn’t give the same feeling and if thats what they were going for then they should just create their own Original stories instead of taking over and changing some else’s work. Sorry for the rant! ╮(￣▽￣)╭
