hii. question for everyone who’s read the novel: should i read this first or read the novel? i initially wanted to read this first just so i can have an image of the characters but i’m seeing some novel readers mention the webtoon skipping some content and i don’t really want to miss out

The novel is definitely better.. the webtoon skips a few small instances that are initially insignificant but add context as a whole.. even in this hostage situation, they showed it happen quite quickly whereas in the novel Jaechan was super frustrated bc he went on that ride every freaking day but nothing happened and he was about to be done with the animals that needed guiding so he'll need to leave the amusement park. He actually made acquaintance with the guy working at the ride whom he identified as the masked terrorist.. we don't get to see these minor interactions..
It is a good story here as well but it is far more intense in the novel bc you worry for Jaechan all the way as he keeps endangering and putting himself in stressful situations..

it upsets me so bad that both hayato and ren just nonchalantly called him back after he basically groomed, kidnapped and almost SAed ren like wtf man. and then he had the gall to talk about stealing ren away again during their discussion about managing their idol activities again??? i don’t understand why the author couldn’t just push him into prison and find a replacement character to become their ceo and manage their activities

let’s be fr now this guy’s been abusing iltak since the beginning and has no actual remorse of his past actions towards iltak… bro really thinks treating iltak better for this one day clears him of all his mistakes and lets him tell iltak what to do with hyunwoo???
at least hyunwoo was mostly friendly to iltak and had the decency to feel guilty and want to apologize, but this dude… if iltak actually ends up with him and not hyunwoo even after 83692 art focusing between them dating, i’ll lose my marbles from trying to understand author’s thought process
it doesn’t seem like it’ll be that way from how the plot’s progressing but i really hope arthur (and the rest of the cast too) don’t end up conflating jay with owen and make that the reason for their eventual romance lol…
