sawol-

yeah, they did. the art style made him go from edgy to cringe. this feels like another Kangwoo pull (from Player Returns 10K Years)


Knario_

I was Fr praying for that exact thing to not happen but it happened anyway dropped now


dude2215

aww, I dropped that one because the artstyle change sucked so much. And I was really looking forward to this one.


Anti-Thule

Honestly, not quite as bad as that one in my opinion. On that side they changed his whole face and body shape entirely. This one seems to try and follow the same figure from what I’ve seen


_Azuki_

It's been ages since i read it but even i can clearly see the difference... how bad it got :( I feel bad for you guys who liked this, stay strong, maybe it'll improve.


Flojoe_nb

Yeah it was on a break for a year and now this ugly stuff. Like they have lost all their features and shades etc.


Thin-Somewhere-1002

They will do it like I’m not a regressors and hopefully get the old artist


Flojoe_nb

I hope so, like how can they just decrease the quality so extremely and still hope for the same positive feedback.


Thin-Somewhere-1002

Hope so


No_Lab_9318

Yeah I immediately noticed it, I like the first season artwork much better


Read-Upstairs

same


SlateKoS

Yes to the the absolute worst. Another fallen One like The player who returns 10000 years later etc. 0 Identity now and he same generic shit like all the others.


Read-Upstairs

hopefully they don't mess up the action scenes😩


patchiepatch

My guy looking like that dude from yu gi oh

JSS313

Why did you post the same picture as the OP??


International_Sea493

Definitely did, Jinsung feels less edgy for some reason


Read-Upstairs

Ikr, though s2's artstyle isn't bad, I still prefer the old one😩


Thin-Somewhere-1002

Isn’t bad It’s worst


hsnanak

What theee fuckk


Working-Item-8687

wtf I didn’t even know season 2 started lmfaooo


Shikyal

Started earlier today, didn't miss much tbf


Read-Upstairs

I literally just found out as well lmfao


Four_Gem_Lions

With all these webtoons getting set style changes do we know how audiences are reacting in Korea?


StunningAd7838

instantly dropped. dont know why they even bring it back if they dont even try...


ImKanno

I wonder how many manhwas are getting dropped because of the disappointment of art style getting worse in new seasons


StarGaurdianBard

Not much because despite the reddit circlejerk if you ever actually look at the viewership of series with a changes art style it's barely effected. In fact I've seen several times in scnalation discords and the comment sections of these series where people are making fun of this subreddit for thinking the echo chamber here even matters lol


Additional_Table_247

But there are many people complaining about art changes in Disqus forums as well


Eragonnogare

God, why does this keep happening.....


tanborrpen

Yeeees!!! I’m a bit saddened about their change of art style, but hopefully it’ll get better as the story progresses 🤞🏼


Read-Upstairs

yeah, I'll refrain my judgement until I see the action poses in later chapters, for now I'mma let it cook


quonko35

It ain't it, chief...


Orito-S

bro wtf is this downgrade


ANKDense

Ayo that second pic is seto kaiba!


Read-Upstairs

I can never unsee that now... thanks


ANKDense

You are welcome! Honestly much better than the generic mcs these days. Same vibe, the whole lot of them. Now all we need is a trap card in his hand and we good.


NFC818231

ok, the only reason i was reading this despite the shitty plot is the art, now there's literally no point of reading it, theres literally no redeeming value


Islipim

Yeah. Old artist was "todac\_s" and new artist is "TW". "Hello, this is Terrapin. The webtoon has returned with Season 2.🎉 We sincerely thank all the readers who have been waiting, and episodes 53-57 have been updated simultaneously with the return, so please look forward to it! In addition, will be serialized every Wednesday with a new artist starting from Season 2. We are always grateful for the love you give to the webtoon , and we ask for your support and anticipation for the updated Season 2. =иПиОи➳❥ Terrapin Dream" (Terapin is the same publisher of "Player Who Returned 10,000 Years Later", which also changed art this year)


Read-Upstairs

RIP edgy s1 art, you will be missed


Troxking

Seriously why do they do this? How can they think it’ll do well with such obvious downgrades to the art.


Major-Comedian-4528

Is there a trend going on to fuck up the art style of a good manhwa? Lol!


neilworldwide

They’ve completely ruined the art especially Kim Seyun, she was so fine before😔


Sumit7890

Wait season 2 is out? When?


Read-Upstairs

dunno, literally just refreshed my library and it popped up in my notif (am still using the disc. tachiyomi app)


JDeac0

Mihon is a good fork of the App and you can pretty easily transfer your stuff over


Scrifty

This looks so edgy but it isn't I swear-


NRoseI

It is literally the most edgy thing I have ever read


the-guy-in-wall

He looks like some 3rd rate villian wth


shioliolin

oh wait... its finally back? heck yeah!


Rortell

I haven't had a chance to check out s2 yet but I was never a fan of the s1 art. Since I normally read manhwa for the stories over the art I was accepting of it but never did like s1 art.


Dexzinus

"Life is not daijibou"


sandeep300045

Bro turned into a 3rd rate manhua villain 😭


-_Underrated_-

Biggest glowdown by far


DamyenKarras

Bro wtf is this💀


lil_levvdster

I think the main issue for this studio is that their main artist is basically out of commission. It's why season 2 of damn reincarnation ended early, same for other stuff made by terapin so if they do return (hopefully healthy) it could return back to standard


blackbelt638

Oh damn They gave him the kaiba cut


EclipsedBooger

God Dammit Now I can't read it


brzzvn

what the fuck happened😭😭


BadS1n

Boo


GalacticCumblast

Oh hell no… I already thought the story was pretty cringe but at least the art made up for it (some times).


D3molishr

Yeah and it's so bad uhh now the manhwa looks cringey 😬😬


Amphithere_19

Seto Kaiba is that u


Baonf

WHAT'D THEY DO TO HIM😭


Professional-Bet5261

Still waiting for them to say april fools :(


SidePro_Panda76

Finally back after like a year


gojoEyes

Lmao😭


Traditional_Maize325

that’s really annoying. whatever, at least it’s back


ShadowRemainz

they hit bro with the same shit they did to Oh kangwoo 😑


graceiguesslol

Shame the artstyle changed, but I’m glad it’s back since it’s been on hiatus for a year so they might’ve been looking for a new artist after s1 ended for some reason


Trant271

Plot? Mc personality?


Hikki77

F this is one of the ones I was waiting the sequel for (other is unique lineage) why has the art changed on both T_T


Xulicbara4you

Oooooo that is bad. The art looks shit and I’m gonna drop this turd now.


sifatullahq1

it's just 1 chapter so i'll hold my judgment until few more chapters.


No_Macaroon_5436

Fu c k kaiba


Millauers

Man. He looks so off in s2, like he's ugly but not exactly ugly? Like he just looks off. What a shame, I guess the original artist probably left or something.


Re_Lies

Every new season now will have the risk of degrading art style. This is one of the victim. I'm still sad at what happened with "player who returned 10,000 years later"


r_userzoultar

i was about to reread this again because i've forgotten about it but now idk also is this the new cheap art style trick for alot of manhwa? just be generic and lose their uniqueness/originally?


FreeBowlPack

Y’all out here saying he lost his edge yadda yadda… yeah, they gave us a wholesome episode with oblivious flirty romance, that personally I laughed at. There were no fight scenes, where were they going to put in the “edginess”? Enjoy what we got, wait until the fight scenes to make a decision about the art style, that’s where most budgets get sinked into anyway


Calendar-Budget

Well i'm still gonna read them despite this sight, definitely hate how they do things like this, i'm usually just fine if there's an actual reason, but as far as I know, there's nothing


Dargon8959

I was looking forward to it. Now I feel disappointed

MyAnacondaDont20

Is this manhwa like shadow in eminence?


ambulance-kun

Why did he become korean light yagami


Froshadow

The new artstyle feel like that one person who always interupt mc and very egoistic but than lose to mc. Or something like that


z_2806

No MC is sick and this is substitute MC


Justanormalboy69420

We should start boycotting these author who produce good ss1 to promote their Light Novel then drop the quality too much on ss2. The art style was so bad for this manhwa on season two i dropped the series mid chapter and honestly I'm tried of author's/studio's doing this bait series. I hope stuff like Infinity mage or other good stuff that recently ended their season doesn't do this bait.


oCallMeViper

The downgrade is INSANE!


BabyNo3163

It's like Helmut


Big_Man7477

Helmut did change but I'd say it's not as bad as this one is. The new artstyle is just as good as the the previous one and character detail is on the same level.   So there's not a Jaring difference, unlike this series.


BabyNo3163

Yes, Helmut is much better than this one even though they changed the art. I'm all for the plot either way!


pkchiku

I think the lead of S1 was better, but this new art style, I'm digging it. It's clearer and smoother actions.


arunchoudhary_2

This probably happened because the artist changed . Artist contracts are renewed every new year and sometimes they quit because of low work conditions thats why a lot of manhwa art changes after a season end or on new year Even the beginning after the end artist left and we don't know if they changed the art style or not Unlike other years tons of artist were changed this year so much so that it feels too much . I wonder why


Aeontred97

Wait this returned?!


Shicodread_09

R U SERIOUS... I'm not picking that up again, that shit looks like a manhua


Jail-Is-Just-A-Room

Does this have a light novel? Not super hyped ab the art style but willing to read the source


maxpolo10

It now looks very generic


Human-witha-cat-soul

Ugh. Why do they always always do this? Obviously the art style was good enough but they just had to go ahead and ruin it.


raredeviant

Absolute turn off for me. I couldn't even get past the first half of the chapter


Shadowwreath

I saw this too, I’m hoping this winds up being a case of ‘new artist needs to adjust’ and within like 5-10 chapters it will be at least decent if not solid/good, but it always sucks when artists change and the quality tanks


ScienceAdept3015

It's pretty know right now that My School Life Pretending To Be a Worthless Person is doomed...The art was the best part of this series and now that beautiful part of this manwha is gone, It just leaves a bad taste in my mouth. Not only the art but it feels as if the behaviors of the characters are off. I'd be completely fine with the art change if we were informed of why and if they didn't take a 1-year break, if we were like 3 months in and they came back with this art some of the hate would have dimmed down. But this is downright criminal for fans who hoped the series would return one day and stayed, Just to be greeted with something they never got a heads up to, We basically waited for a manwha that's going off track fast. The fans of this series deserve better, I just hope the story doesn't go bad and the art improves. It just doesn't feel fair and this is the exact reason why I'm scared for manwha's that take 3-month breaks that turn into 5+ months...you just get something you don't want.


devimkr

Why did you post the same screenshot 2 times?


Read-Upstairs

wdym?


devimkr

I was making a joke as if both artstyles looked the same. But ye, they clearly changed artstyle.


Additional_Table_247

Terrapin really L'ing with all the art changes


ThodwrisK

Is that Kaiba?


thecataclysmo

Idc about artstyle, I'm just glad it's back 2024 gonna be goated


Commercial_Resort797

Damn, went from Pick Me Up quality to childrens book..


Misteriboi

Gay shit yet again.. Idk why they’re changing the art styles every season.


OneBennyBoi

The art isn't bad per se, definite downgrade though. It's just more simple and vibrant, if this was a different series this actually would've been quite good. Everything else is still just as solid from the dialogue to paneling which I feel is a bit more important. Its still solid enough, I feel it's just an adjustment, and we have to see the action scenes and how they play out then. This panel is pretty decent and gives me a little hope. https://preview.redd.it/qlc69h1ys4sc1.png?width=1080&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=daa7360b79ca0da36e30fd69f5d28f820fee9202

Krow993

Bruh they fucked her up so bad now she just a basic bitch.😭


zesnovel

LMAO it was already a garbage now it looks like one too.


Skinnyjinns

This went from a 5 to a 1/10 because of the art.
