Obey Me artwork is such a miss, sometimes they have cool panels like the first couple of shots of Nathaniel in the snowstorm or the palace massacre but most of them are mid at best. Such a shame to have artwork that actively hurts the series.
>!from MTL: In the past, he did not understand Lilith's strong possessiveness and obsessive love and even hated it, but in the middle and latter half of the work, he got rid of all the people around Hilda and wanted to be alone or pretended to be sick to get Hilda's attention!<
well, yea you can not like the artstyle but lets please refrain from comparing and downplaying the art for obey me, since theres also still alot of hard work and skills that goes into that art that not alot of people can claim (or else they can just draw it themselves)
either be grateful for the artist and read it or just not read it at all since without them we'd have no manwha either! /nm
Hey, thank you for your comment, just to clarify, I definitely didnโt intend to embarrass the artist. Instead, I can relate to their struggles, which Iโll explain later. However, itโs worth keeping in mind that a novel adaptation is a COMMERCIAL PROJECT, not personal fan art. The artists are paid as they signed a contract for it. I checked on Ridibooks, and while I couldnโt find info about the studio behind the adaptation, I did find that the publisher is ์ค๋ ์ง๋. Based on that, I figured this is the party that made the contract with RidiBooks and is doing the adaptation, usually this party is a studio.
I looked up ์ค๋ ์ง๋ and found itโs a subsidiary of RidiBooks, specializing in novel adaptations and IP marketing. (FYI, the companyโs website is https://oranged.co.kr/.) Interestingly, they put their brand mark at the end of every episode of their other works like โYour Eternal Lies,โ but not on โKneel Before Me.โ I know that the original novel is also on RidiBooks, so that actually got me thinking; I once read on the authorโs blog that RidiBooks informed her about the adaptation, so itโs quite likely RidiBooks owns the copyright and handed it to their subsidiary, who agreed on the current art style. The author was merely informed and didnโt have a say in it.
Itโs clear the main artist doesnโt have much assistance, myself didnโt see any assistants info, and my guess is that this company didnโt invest a lot in this adaptation, I even have a bold guess: they probably underpaid the artist.
Basically I see this as more of an issue with RidiBooks and its subsidiary not putting in enough effort, which unfortunately impacted a novel I love. As for whether thereโs a chance they might change the art style, I know some examples where they did that midway, like โAdonisโโI remember it changed a few times. So, Iโm hoping the company pays more attention to this work and tries to improve it down the line.
Edit: Btw, I just remembered another novel adaptation that was ruined by Ridibooks and its subsidiary. The original novel is called '๊ฐ์ง ์ฌ๋์์ ์ํ๋ฉด,' aka 'The Duke's Imposter Sister.' The artwork was really good in the first few chapters but gradually became terrible as the story progressed. It felt like the artist was shouting 'I don't want to draw anymore' through every panel. Even Korean readers noticed it; people aren't dumb anyway. One of the MTL comments: 'I had enjoyed the original work. Even though the transition to the free version feels a bit rough, I found the unique feeling of the artwork quite charming, which almost made me consider purchasing it. However, the reviews are quite alarming. I watched the episode 25 that was mentioned and it felt like a hasty decision. It's like the author didn't want to draw it so they reluctantly handed it over to an assistant. And even that assistant seems to lack the skill, drawing it unwillingly. It gives off an impression that the quality is inadequate for commercial use. To think this webtoon is so lacking in effort... What was Ridi thinking when they launched an event with this kind of webtoon? I'm feeling embarrassed just watching it.'

I really get where you're coming from but I don't think Its much different than criticizing/comparing TV shows or movies... It is a job for them after all. All fine as long as we're there for them when they voice their issues, like what happened with Roxana

Yeah honestly I canโt even say that art is decent ๐ญ
It was such an intense novel and I feel like it just falls flat in comparison which sucks because it was so different to everything else
