It’s missing a lot of details from the novel, though I understand because this author reallyyyyyy likes to write things out in a super heavy detailed way, and that’s alright because it’s an adaptation. However, I think it’s missing some parts that made me a little emotional, the little things that you can relate with, like the actual REAL awkwardness that the MC felt so much with Aiden. Like it felt so real in the novel, but barely comes across here, especially in the first meeting.

I haven’t gotten past the first chapter of the webtoon, but I’ll stick with the novel, because it’s already skipped some stuff I thought would be adapted, though there is a lot of exposition in the first chapter.

Of course, if you aren’t into lots and lots of detail, this would prob be better, but the emotions def come across better in the novel and way more relatable with the Seowon’s/MC’s thoughts. It dwelled into his mind a lot throughout, which is understandable since it’s mainly about his feelings.

20-30ish panels in the webtoon though, we missed literally a lot of the exposition and his thoughts on the matter (which are really important imo and build on his values and understanding of the world around him for later conflicts).

But good luck to those who read this adaptation. (=・ω・=)

several studies have actually shown that because of sexual violence being portrayed this way, people actually start becoming desensitised and may even come to believe (even unconsciously) that sometimes, sexual assault/rape can really lead to love/people who are sexually assaulted feel pleasure while being assaulted. for example, in the porn industry, women are usually portrayed in a way wherein they feel pleasure even though men are being rough on them, and this has actually increased the number of men and women who believe that there are women out there who like being assaulted or that even though women say no at the start, they will eventually succumbed to pleasure. so, yes, even though this is pure fiction, it actually contributes to rape culture, and it's not wrong to keep talking about it until people realises that we shouldn't just brush off stories that portray sexual assault as something normal or something that doesnt lead to grave consequence

I've never felt so much... cuteness aggression... just by reading something until Merry Marbling came to do just that to me with every panel, every chapter. It's perfect.
