Feel like gender was changed for aesthetic purposes only, she also didn't seem that important to the overall plot. But maybe they'd all be seeing each other at some point since she's a celeb anyway
At first I thought she was gonna have an arc later, but yea if it's just for aesthetic purposes then I'm all for the artist changing genders for motivation ヾ(❀╹◡╹)ﾉ~
They do meet her sometimes since she is good at emcee-ing and is also a celebrity. The author also revised his novel and changed the emcee's gender.
Oh so the emcee is now a female character in the novel as well?
Yeah, mostly since the emcee is a minor character.
Is the Emcee important later? This is the first time I see a character's gender get swapped for that kind of reason.
I did think it was weird to have a female emcee host the entirety of a male survival show(most either have both genders or just males(switching guests per 2 events is the norm for irl survival shows), usually it's someone who've debuted from a similar survival show) so I'm not too surprised abt her being male originally tbh. It was an "OHH, it makes sense now" moment. If she was an important character, how does novel readers feel abt the genderbend?
(For me if she was an important character in a novel I'm a fan of, I'd be pissed about it not following the source material since it's a really drastic change, but if she isn't then it doesn't really matter if drawing girls help the artist get motivated imo)
