honestly, i'm glad minwoo won't be appearing anymore and hopefully not the teacher too. yeah that would bring some interesting drama, but like the author said in the note, [they] belong in the past. it's like perpendicular lines where they meet once but never meet again. it'd fit the story's pretty realistic plot too if it's like that. most of the time, someone may never see their bully again cuz that's just how life is, regardless of the amount of pain the bully inflicted on the victim










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
