If I’m speaking honestly, I think I enjoy the manwha better than the novel. One of the reasons is because of the multiple POV and how its done in this novel. During volume 2 we are given multiple perspectives in basically each chapter. One point of view from the MCs, the sub characters, and sometimes the villains. The majority of the time all these point of views were put into every chapter, which I found really repetitive and a bit disjointed. This caused me to skip most of the sub characters POV and the villains since I didn’t necessarily find their POV important. Sure there were some crumbs of plot development and character building in the different POVS but not by much. Rather than that, I found myself more interested in the MC and ML’s POV since this volume is sorta like their “reunion.” Personally, I think it would’ve been better, if the author focused more on the main characters, and instead of mushing every POV into every chapter. After focusing on the main characters for the majority of the volume we could’ve than get the sub characters POV and how they struggled in volume 2. For the villains, we also could’ve also just had their POV sprinkled in here or there. Subsequently, I think the chapters are very short in comparison to like a Chinese danmei. Which isn’t necessarily a bad thing but to me it just felt like the author could have added more world building/interesting ideas into the chapters.That being said, I really do like the main character’s personality. He has an earnest and positive personality and I found it really refreshing to read. Although I can’t say much for the ML. I suppose, for now, he’s a very stereotypical ML with a terrible childhood, but i’m sure the author will explore more into his lore later.Surprisingly, characters that I wish we would’ve gotten more of is the King and kinda the Queen. I really enjoyed the king’s POV which makes me sad that we probably won’t be getting any more of them haha.As the English translation of the manwha has yet to catch up to vol 2 and I didn’t necessarily read volume one of the novel I don’t know how the switching POV will translate over but I’m hoping for the best.
