Honestly, it's not that bad. I NEVER like art changes, because even if the art is about the same quality, the style change throws the vibe way off from the original. We all know it's not uncommon for a different artist to take over- but it IS uncommon for a lesser-known manhwa (especially an R19) to be picked back up after a hiatus.
As a perv who wanted to know more of the overall story (the spoilers suggest some plot twists), I don't mind a slight downgrade in visual quality. It's not "I waited this long and got lower quality?!", it's "I'm so glad they were willing to continue even if they couldn't get top-tier art".
And hey, what if the artist is a bit new or is adjusting to the general style and designs? This wasn't originally their project, so they have to be flexible finding their 'groove' combining their art with the original style/vibe. If we read a few chapters to get used to it and they work on this story for a bit, I'm sure it feel like a big deal for long.
The first chapter it came back, I kinda went "ew, the dudes are so much less attractive". But dang, I was 1/3 just unhappy to be surprised by the difference (so it felt unfamiliar), 1/3 unhappy it wasn't to my personal taste, but 1/3 "YAAAY the manhwa wasn't dropped into an abyss, it's BACK".
I'm actually really talented at realism-based drawing and painting, but can not draw comics/anime/whatever to save my life. Having to do finalized chapters every week, especially on a project I'm 'taking over'? Y'all, that sounds hard.
Opinions are fine, y'all. Art is literally subjective. I hope we can be a bit more constructive with our criticism and not just... mean? I'm gonna be so disappointed if the new artist bails on the project or doesn't renew their contract. It would be almost impossible for them to want to continue investing in the series or convince another artist to take over (likely for less pay, too).
I have nooo idea why I got that ranty, so sorry y'all. But I hope most of us give it a bit more of a chance...
