Whoever the artist is needs more practice. It's inconsistent, some lines are wobbly, and it feels like they could practice body/face proportions. It doesn't feel professional. Yes it's not the worst stuff out there, but with more practice of the basics the art would improve immensely imo. Or maybe they were tired and rushing this? In which case they need to learn how to pace themselves and take care of their health. I don't mean to hate. I'm genuinely criticizing them because I feel like with a little more practice the artist would benefit a lot.

    I mean yes the art is not the best but there's quite a few factors that play into these things.
    1. The industry is pretty harsh on scheduling so these authors gruel away and try their best to keep up with it. A lot of them still show consistency during these times but I have even seen very beautiful and consistent art get wonky for a chapter or 2 (eg: Siren's Lament and My Dear Cold-Blooded King)
    2. Because you can practice to get better art is a skill and those who write a comic during their earlier stages doesn't make the story less enjoyable. It means that we will see as the author improves. I love being able to see an artist's progress or 5 year difference of the same drawing. It shows their drive
    3. Finally some line inconsistencies may be due to the cleaning process (not blaming the translation team/person). Not all cleaners use the best tools or have developed art skills so wobbles happen.

    In all I think the weird shapes makes it feel a little more comedic and can even be stylized further for a true comedic style and I like hiw it's different from other styles that people are using. It's unique. > This part is all opinion. Don't take anything personal.
