The characters drawn on the novel's cover are way prettier than the ones in the manhwa. To...

nah if they followed the novel cover it would take too long to draw (also the novel was made by an asian wdym "most likely to please asian fans taste")

Hello. Is the novel's title same as the webtoon? I can't find it on novel updates.

this.... theyre just completely different styles drawn by two different artists..... both who are korean lol. its very unlikely for the novel cover’s kind of style to be turned into a webtoon bc the style suits more for illustrations than comics. nothing to do with “pleasing asian fans taste”, or whatever that means.

its the same

Makes sense but notice how the seme in the webtoon has a very generic look, barely manly and almost indistinguishable from other webtoons semes. They ccould've at least make his features more masculine and close to the book cover. I don't know why most recent webtoons follow the same drawing trends and make their characters with soft features and all look alike. It's annoying I thought it could be due to Korean's taste because Korean men have quite soft and feminine features compared to other countries. Have you ever watched a successful K-drama with a bearded male character? I hope I am not offending anyone by sharing my impression on that topic. As a latin girl, I just have opposite beauty standards when it comes to men and masculinity in general.

As I said, it’s just not feasible to make detailed features in webcomics. You want them quick and easy to draw, hence why most webtoons are more cartoony and usually have a same-face syndrome. And personally, I wouldn’t say the no el cover itself is more “masculine” anyway. It’s just a different style. As mentioned, both illustrations are drawn by korean artists for korean audience. In fact, this particular style is very common amongst other korean novel covers. So yeah...... while you might not mean any offense, it does sound like you’re stereotyping.

Thanks for your reply. I appreciate your insights.
