Wow, I'm currently on the novel chap 50 and I did read the manhwa chaps up to 39 and what did they fo to my girl???? Why does it feel like the manhwa is trying to hetbait? Like not only with Baek Yiseol but like, every girl now has a crush on Hoyeol? And they nade Yiseol way less bitter and more pitiful???? There sure are some changes happening here huh.
I've also noticed thta they've made Hoyeol way more flashy in the manhwa which, while does make sense for a visual medium as opposed to a read medium, still makes it seem like he has way more power in the manhwa than he does in the novel which is probably why it's getting some slop allegations in the comments. Like, my man is cool yeah, but he does not have that much mana at this point in the story.
Now that I've more or less caugh up might just full on drop the manhwa and continue with the novel.
