I can see that the creator is trying to play off these abusive moments between Cirrus and Skyler as comedic moments that are not meant to be taken seriously, but with their art style, it never comes off that way. It always comes off as serious.
And that goes for a lot of comedic moments in this manhwa. I don’t know if the creator just doesn’t know how to do this or is unaware that they should, but if you’re gonna make a comedic moment in an, otherwise, serious manhwa, then you need to change your art style to be more comedic in order to match that moment, for example using the chibi versions of their characters. That way it will land with your audience that “this ain’t serious”.
They’ve used chibi characters for comedic moments before, so I don’t know why they’re not doing it more consistently. Cuz atp, I can’t tell what is meant to be comedic moment and what isn’t. So the jokes just aren’t landing for me. I’m not gonna sit here and laugh at Cirrus and Skylar physically abusing each other. It’s just not funny.
