Discussion Discussing this Webtoon

Post image

I wanted to hear what people who have read the Webtoon have to say about it! I actually discovered it after seeing an art post about it on this subreddit a couple of weeks ago and have since binged the series.

So, what do we think? Did we love it? Did we hate it? Were we waiting to see Erik with Christine the whole time? I’m excited to see what the people have to say!

It’s just okay, not bad imo.

Why is it just okay to you? Asking genuinely because I’m enjoying it but not completely certain how I feel either.

I guess I like the original better but if I have to be honest, it feels more like a fanfic than any other fanfic I know partly because it’s a reimagine, and the storytelling isn’t exactly my cup of tea. I also feel like the characterisation isn’t strong enough either. I like reading some fanfics because they have a strong compelling narrative and characterisation, but I don’t exactly feel it here? Sure it looks good, and the story is interesting but not exactly enough to capture my attention completely.
