I read this manhwa before reading the novel and I got to say they adapted it well but its not sticking exactly as how it went with the novel. But for this to be fast paced and cover a lot of the arcs, the flow is exactly right, however the little details were definitely tweaked or even left out and skipped i read the novel because i was at the cliffhanger of people finding out my mc was a mage. So I went back to the very start of it all and its really different? At the same time not? Advice is if you’re enjoying this right now and aren’t impatient don’t read the novel because if u go back to the manhwa again it feels lacking , but if you feel as if there were missing parts u should check it out but tread carefully because its so blunt and covers triggering topics (but it really adds the flavor T T) . . . . SPOILERS- (not really? Its supposed to go like this in this chapter) - An example of how it didn’t exactly follow the novel is Bianca’s skin color is a bit tanned. - Another would be Raki’s emotional realization and appreciation for Rian was more detailed and more emotional? forgot but i think they hugged at this time or was it another time so the bromance was ///// they had a stronger bond during that conversation because Rian was right with the exact time (5yrs) he said Raki to wait in revealing and enacting his revenge - the servants were also supposed to be checking Count Rian doing magic for the first time and Rian also was burdened by the father (he keeps begging for his son to put him in the academy in which Rian agrees and ended up settling for him to keep quiet from the other nobles so they wont go to him to heal their sick fam members as well, he then said he would check his son annually since he is unstable still) - Duke Siegfried(?) or whatshisname would’ve been worried for his granddaughter showing interest towards Rian because he lowk doesn’t want him for her. But she was the one showing interest in him so the opposite being shown here was absurd cuz its switched lmao. And where was the son?? They had an additional scene with his family members esp with his son (relevant side charac) - another important detail was how the Duke Siegfried and the other Duke Mcarthy would’ve been talking together and they were shocked together, not because of Rian nor even paid into mind whoever wearing the black robe is, they were shocked together seeing Chai out in the wild and even right beside Rian!!!! Their subordinate counts were even wondering what made them so flustered right before Raki’s reveal that wouldve been so funny seeing both of their reactions scared shitless man… but welp!
At least I can settle with maybe the ending coming in a few seasons and the side chapters. Because its surprising to be at this part in chapter 52 when it’s really far out of the novel xD and after writing all this i realized they really did mush everything in 1 long chapter. It amazes me tho abt that when reading the manhwa it still makes sense?? HAHA so they did good with stitching the story together
But know this, it’s still far from the end, more like we are still at the middle part? So I’m excited to see the future arcs..
Trivia: This story is actually posted in kkp in 2016?? So i thought this was a recent novel xD really surprised me ngl that its really old… and to think kkp started at 2013 and the adaptation into manhwa came several yrs later. Too bad there’s no novel translations
