i feel some sympathy for the new artist. apparently they're a really big fan and studied for a while to make the art, according to an afternote in a missing chapter that continues the blood merfolk scene. objectively, i think their art is better. BUT bc of that, there's too much going on in the visuals that details and the readability become muddled. there's clearer differences between the characters (like the guys' eye shapes) but i wouldn't be able to distinguish them solely off of memory. the new art looks generic as every other manhwa w/ good art. everyone also gives off brighter, outgoing demeanors that feel off bc they lean towards looking cute in contrast to how they used to give off sly undertones that was alluring.
as they say, less is more. my disappointment is lowk the same as when i first saw the manhwa adaptation for bj villainess, but similarly maybe i'll get used to if more moments receive justice in this art
I feel sympathy too, it's not BAD art but it's not good fanart either. The characters straight up look 95% different. As if you were watching a show for five years, FIVE YEARS (started in 2020), and then they changed ALL the actors Σ( ￣□￣||)
I agree that less is more in this case
It all looks the same to me, but there really is too much going on in the visuals it's abit hard to focus
i remember finding a video that covered this manga, but i can't find it either. telling the name of the vid title or the actual manga will work for me
ok so this guy transmigrates or reincarnates into this black haired villain? (i don't remember if he was originally a villain or just a side character) at first he stays low, focusing on his own stats and doesn't get along with the rest of his classmates that much until he saves this lighter haired guy, the original protagonist, who got drugged and almost kidnapped by a fellow female classmate. that guy later commented on he always wanted to talk to mc so he's glad they finally can now. it's shown that the og protagonist is really charismatic and gets along well w/ their classmates, doing so by being able to appraise their powers because he could tell them their strengths and what they should improve themselves own. he and mc later get to be strong friends as adults until they fight in a war(?) or some kind of battle. unsure abt this, but i think the og protagonist takes on a hit for mc or has been fighting for too long, so he's dying. i don't remember it exactly, but the mc then says the lines of smth like "i refuse to fight in a world without you" (a lot of comments joked about how they seemed gay) mc then proceeds to regress w/ the intention to get the light haired guy alive this time but fails and tries again, only to keep regressing.
i don't remember the rest since i didn't finish watching it all
i feel like this is the same creator of https://www.mangago.me/read-manga/being_delivered_fan_translation/
