Pacing...

I'm really glad the novel's getting an adaptation!

...but I feel like the pacing is rushed making the key events feel less emotionally impactful. I get that in adaptations, nuances and thought are naturally omitted in favour of coherence and such, but it's still a bit sad to see. It's always nice to see the artist add in little snippets of the novel in the background though. I hope anyone who enjoys this also checks out the novel at:

    I also highly recommend checking the novel for a deeper and more immersive read!
    However... I can't deny that lately I've been liking when the adaptation is faster paced even if we loose a bit of the things in the novel... because 1, that incentivates people to go read the novel and 2, the comic doesn't take as long to be finished.
    I love to keep reading about my favorite characters... but I've been feeling tired of taking years to finish reading a story... there's only 52 weeks in a year... and with holidays, breaks and such... a comic never takes less than a year and half to finish... and that's ok cuz authors ain't machines... it's just... sometimes a fast read is also good... which is why I tend to go for the novels... they are faster to read... so after finishing it I enjoy the comic more...
    So again... people... keep reading the comic but go read the novel too!
