The novel shows mostly the empress' point of view, and the webcomic doesnt. I find Navier more 'human' in the novel, as you can actually see her (and other characters too) train of thought. I don't know how the webtoon will convey her feelings in later chapters, as I feel the 'webtoon' Navier is a lot colder than the 'novel' Navier, and I just think that a shift in behaviour would be too sudden here
