I love the novel so fucking much. Author of the novel wrote such a beautiful heart wrenching and heartwarming story that it will sit with me for a while. Their writing style is also amazing, so that was another twist of a knife on top of the angst. Damn, half of my quote list got filled up by this novel.
However… the art style is doing my babies dirty. Both of them are described as handsome/good-looking. ML kinda looks good and attractive manhwa, but my baby MC looks like an average guy, when he is described like this in the novel:
“…He was good-looking. A bit too much so. If he’d had an average, forgettable face, his name wouldn’t have come up nearly as often.”
That, on top of being noticeably built (special training and enhancements). Don’t do my baby dirty!!! It feels like artist didn’t read the whole novel, because the novel is in first person perspective and Geonho has a really low self-esteem, so he doesn’t see himself as attractive. He even mentions a few times how ‘unattractive’ and ‘average-looking’ he is compared to others, but he is unreliable narrator. When it’s other people’s perspective, they always mention how beautiful and good-looking he is.
No offence to the artist. I’m glad that the story is getting recognised and adapted, but I just want the best of the best for my baby Geonho and this amazing story ╥﹏╥
