Theyre very true to the plot. What I mean by the “milder” part is just Lloyd acts more mature and elaborates his plans like an actual leader rather than being sporadic in the manhwa. The side characters doesnt worship him like a diety and theyre not really that fanatical. Just think of the novel like the manhwa minus the expressions and comical characters. Jaxier and Lloyd still have funny banters when they interact. The manhwa really exaggerated Lloyd’s personality when in reality he talks and acts like a normal protagonist.

I love how Lloyd in the novel acts milder compared to this chaotic one in the manhwa so you can read both and can still experience different narrative style.
