As a novel reader myself
The big differences are so obvious and slightly sad how they went with it. However I do think that the exposure of this view of drama and her early on proxyhood is what continues to draw in readers. Some people will never know the novel verse but the manhua verse ain't so bad either.
I genuinely was excited for that runaway princess scene to be extended causethat shebang was so interesting with those side characters at the school.
They are giving me a headache with this. Why changing the novel so much? It doesnt even make sense now. I get that the surprise factor is often lost when novels turn into manhwas, but people want to see the novel they read illustrated, not a whole new universe created.
The thing that pains me the most is the fact that Lucas and Claude were left as almost useless characters. It's not even to show Athy's strength, since in the novel she had several moments were she proved how skilled and strong she was.
Sigh. I hope this mess makes sense soon.
