I prefer the way it was described in the novel over the manga, but the art is just *chefs ...

Can you tell how is it in the novel

I'm also curious

Well...some parts of the manhwa are rushed in comparison to the novel.
If we take the romance arc for example, then it's more romantic. The author takes more time, to describe how MC feels overwhelmed with his emotions and it's kinda more romantic and the described kiss scenes and the time Gongja spends with Raviel make you blush and grin like some weirdo
