I’m only partially through the novel rn but it’s already really obvious they switched around scenes and messed up the pacing quite a bit…more importantly though they cut a bunch of stuff, the most important being that Jin Kang actually didn’t run that background check at the cafe, he actually did it right after he got back from their first dinner date, and like literally the first thing he did was cyber stalk Seo Yiyeon all the from the hotel to his home via cctv footage soooooo
in any case the progression of their relationship definitely feels a lot more natural in the novel idk why they rushed things so much for the webtoon （￣へ￣）This goes for both their irl and online (black & lrot for now, I’m excited for VX reveal when it happens) relationship
also I find it kinda funny that people don’t like how Yiyeon is acting as ‘black’ when they included a whole a blurb about how normal behavior standards don’t apply to crackers; Jin Kang might find him annoying but he 1000% has dealt with much worse as lrot (not to mention as crackers they have the ability to do so much worse and be infinitely more invasive so the fact that ‘black’ respected basic boundaries and only went after lrot when he was cracking into other peoples’ shit says a lot)
and to those worried Seo Yiyeon might also be Broker B: don’t be, his little L is his treasure and they (all of ZETA) had no idea why lrot dropped off the map at that time
