They... really are rushing

I'm not sure since I didn't read the novel, but from a comic only perspective I think it's still running smoothly.

I've read the novel before discovering the webtoon so it has been a while but I'm pretty sure that they've omitted a lot of scenes and mashed some scenes together.. but yeah, the way they did the webtoon story is still smooth. ヾ(❀╹◡╹)ﾉ~

I think that comes after

I've read the novel as well and from I can tell manga is simply amazing. It stays true to the novel and doesn’t omit important things. Also adds entertaining elements that overall makes reading It enjoyable. I do think scenes you have mentioned come after as well but to be sure I'll go and check. Though them not being included wouldn’t be bad at all. Pacing in manga should generally be different than in the novel, otherwise readers will loose interest quickly when It comes to manga

Oh, i must've been confused. It's just that if I've remembered, when Thomas came, they didn't have dinner and just gave the dagger and then those things appeared and then the calling for the hunters then the training and the plant training partner.... idk if I'm remembering correctly though (￣∇￣")

I recently read the novel a couple months ago and I think the part with the chairman comes after. I feel ya where some parts are hazy it’s not like we just remember every detail after reading once lmfao. I Need to re-jog my memory too
