Now that I've caught up to the manhwa chapters, I will say that the comic doesn't quite capture the creeping horror of the abyss the way ocelot does, but I think it does make Lee Hyunmook seem crazier when he's not lucid. I'm liking this adaptation so far, but I do highly recommend checking out the novel for more building out of the world here. Everyone's missing the panic of Yohan's leg injury getting gradually worse before they make it to the pharmacy, the oppressive atomposthere of this place where you can't even breathe without becoming more corrupted, and the unfathomable creatures that you know in your gut shouldn't exist but threaten to make you one of them. The body horror and desolation are so important to making this story stand out, and it's the key to the themes of hope and survival
Omg I was just thinking about this. The novel did so well reminding you how actually terrible it is to live in this world. Even in the safe or happy moments they're still in a crazy corrupted world, I wonder how well the manhwa will be able to show that (๑•ㅂ•)و✧
