I think the main reason for that is that we're just starting out. The violence also makes sense considering the fact that the worlds are linked by this odd tower and their administration while the world itself is breaking down. Unlike most stories i don't think it focuses that much in character dev through sweet or motivational talks, it does that through numerous fights.
I think if we progress more into the story we'll get to know things better, since it's clear that there are numerous worlds and to connect them all is going to take time
I tried reading the novel and compared to the original this manhwa is peak writing lmao
ngl I have no clue why redice is adapting something so badly written, they're trying to adapt it as best they can but imo you cant do much with that sort of source material. At least they gave characters some semblance of a personality, but I feel like the art is carrying this hard
How bad is the novel?? I haven't read it honestly.
But if it is indeed that bad then I'm kinda shocked since Orv and this both have same authors but the writing shouldn't differ that much yk?
nah this one was written before ORV (in 2016 i think), it's the authors' first novel so it makes sense why it's so messy; you really can't compare twatf to orv
It reads like a 14yr olds fanfiction on watpad, you can still notice some writing quirks that appear in orv but i genuinely could not keep reading and I usually love trashy novels. The orv novel isn't a style I like(1st person pov), but it was a choice that had a positive impact on the storytelling, the worldbuilding is infinitely superior, the pacing is great(save for some arcs) comparing it to this one just feels so weird lmao straight up feels like different authors.
To be fair I think the ideas themselves are amazingly interesting but get destroyed by the weird ass writing style, pacing is horrible, not much gets explained so often you're left just trying to figure out how shit works without novels help, theres not much about characters(most of them feel horribly 2d), mc feels completely different, insufferable, honestly I think he was what made me stop reading at some point(crazy bc i really love the webtoon one), the execution is just not there and going into it after orv was def a mistake.
this is after about 40-50ch(dont rem exactly) so idk maybe it had a 180 flip in the latter part but I doubt it.
even though the artstyle is obviously beautiful, the story is confusing and also kind of a laborious read (minimal character development - world building, continous fights which are, in my opinion, way too dinamic (or the panels are just too busy), too much going on at the same time and it's just tiring)
there's also terms/characters/parts of the plot that are introduced but they're barely explained or really not explained that well.
maybe i just didn't pay attention to details either so there's that far from being a *great* story imo but it's good enough
