The transitions between arcs/quests are nonexistent. First he’s part of some competition, but then he’s off to the holy empire, then the elves, and this or that dungeon randomly. Like, he never seems to finish any of the arcs before he just disappears, and so we the reads don’t get any info on how things were resolved…
The duke and duchess are being redeemed, cliff will be punished and redeemed, the author will be actually punished directly and potentially replaced back with the real Lize? I guess this is also an okay alternate fairytale ending but it’s not as good as Killeon and Edith just being satisfied with each other in the novel. I guess the novel DID make Edith too forgiving, but she’s not really driving her own revenge here either ¯_(ツ)_/¯
While I wonder about the author, I like this. Killeon and Edith can still be content with their little territory in the north if Cliff pulls through. Killeon's already expressed his disinterest, if Cliff actually redeems himself and regains the position then we can still more or less get the novel ending, it's just worked around a little bit. In a way that feels less cartoonish than the novel and a bit more earned. I feel like it shows the difference between a mind controlled cast and one with it's own agency where cause and effect actually matter to them.
Yes, I agree. I also think the changes have done more good than bad in regards to personal agency. The "author" has less power now, so the characters acting with more agency makes more sense. I prefer this over the heavy-handedness of the novel.
I kinda want Tina to just kill everyone. Isis is clearly being manipulated. I’ve lost confidence in her compared to Ben. I just want Astina to kill everyone and then just peace out and live her life for herself. She’s been dealing with so much bullshit. Like terroid said he doesn’t love her so fine, just leave
I think they both need peace of mind
I wonder if psychologist also exist that time too lol

.Just reread this and I have to say, it overall declines hard when Norman’s suicide squad is introduced. The ideas are all great, but something about the tone or like, the believability of the story shifts with those four characters. Like, their introduction very starkly marks a point in the story where, “yeah I could believe based on what we’ve seen in the story that these children could do these things” ends and, “oh okay we’re just gonna use magic now.” Begins which is fine! Just like, feels like kinda two different writers
In that picture why is JJs nipple the size of Leo’s entire face? Lmaooo
that’s… not his nipple…
LOOOOL THAT MADE ME LAUGH SO HARD RN
huhh tf u mean nipple
The drama of this scene is greatly diminished compared to the novel where she didn’t know who the author was at this point, the duke still distrusted/didnt care about her, she has been greatly beaten, the guards found her on their own after like a week where she had dressed in shabby commoner clothes and had bought a hobo kit and used hit potatoes to stay warm. Like, she was so much more pathetic here and genuinely still trying to run away at this point in the novel, but I think they’re trying to give the duke, cliff, and the princess a bigger role in the WEBTOON, and allowing the duke and cliff to actually be redeemed I guess? I was okay with them being punished by the author finally using their own personality instead of acting like lize be the punishment as she greatly decreased their reputation
Reallyy?? Oh man..it's sad when the impact of a story isnt well translated in an adaptation, i mean so far the manhwa has been awesome, so maybe they just wanted it to be slightly different like they did with one piece love action? It was great still after all!
Whoa that's like soooo much better. I'd be really pissed if I was the author.
It was worse yes. She was malnourished. Etc
I showed Leo’s apologizing scene to my husband and he literally was like, “that’s you.” I’m so into how realistic this is. Like, maybe their personalities are a bit extreme opposite ends of some kind of spectrum but they stay true to character and act like a couple actually trying to work it out when given the chance. I think Leo’s still gonna fuck up but he’s clearly really trying, and tbh, JJs plan worked so he clearly knows Leo well
Preshati litteraly just telling Theo “I love you” in every way possible till smooching. Does it hurt, are you okay, you can take your gloves off with me. Girl has created an entire new love language for the lapelions
Leo is actually applying their talk and communicating better. Love the call back and honesty. Love this couple
