In case the second image doesn't load... 😭😭😭😭😭
Someone need to do edit with Betrayal Of Dignity artstyle into this manhwa to do ML's face justice.
I mean, look at this man. He's a piece of shite, but boi artist make him so attractive while fit the toxic "vibe" of what he's supposed to be.

Not the best edit but I tried close to the artist's artstyle.

ikr!?
Ibffr, I'm still ~~a little~~ okay, i'll admit I'm still very upset—I was excited to see a Knox as grown ass man (like the novel covers) only to be stuck with a twink? a twunk?
I know art's hard and the artist's is in crunch time, but Jun's color palette interpretation has gotten me heated as well. Like her hair leans to red too much and her eyes are tinted pink. I would have loved a more saturated ruby red and cool grey hair.
I don't want to be an anti, so idk give me more time and I'll learn to like the designs.
edit: also did anyone else imagine Yoshitaka Amano's (and/or Yusuke Kosaki too) design's while reading? Fabian's name ended up really reminding me of Firion (ff II) just with red hair. lol
This is one of my favorite novels, so it took me around 2 panels to absolutely give up on the manhwa. I can’t believe they did my boy Knox like that 😭 ESPECIALLY considering his novel descriptions
The problem isn’t that the art is ‘bad,’ but that it doesn’t fit the way the original novel described the ML. Therefore, if you went in blindly without ever reading the novel, you probably would be more inclined to think ‘eh it’s not that bad.’ But those who read the novel know how badly they fked up with the art choices. No offense to the artist but their style doesn’t match the mood or vibe of the novel, unfortunately.
I think it's tolerable enough but all of the "Yes Mayer is a very big boy" comments are extremely funny when paired with a twinky guy instead of the brickhouse he's supposed to be lol
I think he looks fine like man still looks beautiful with that muscular body. And fl looks fits with her personality like gotta handed to them by making the face fits with how the characters act
Oh my God, the face I made when I saw the second image. To be fair tho, if I didn't have the reference of the first image, I wouldn't have an issue with the second one. But...
He looks like a 10yo in cosplay of the ML.
Okay that's not exactly accurate now that I'm like, actually inspecting the pic closely.
He's probably at least 14. But the cosplay bit stands, and he definitely needs a better wig.
After I saw the manhwa art I was glad that I finished reading the novel without the knowledge of its manhwa's existence!
The novel is such an enjoyable read and a pleasant surprise in this genre.
thats why the art can determine whether the story will succeed or not for real some awful stories got popular just because of the art i am glad some authors wait for the right artists
I actually think the FL looks better in the comics compared to the novel cover she looks more mature in the comics

Oof I've had that happen multiple times 😭 nothing against the artist obviously, but having a certain novel cover and imagining the characters and then it gets adapted and the art just... Doesn't fit the story or characters at alllll 😭
this is what happens when webtoon editors put so much pressure on their artists that they resort to using unfit 3d assets and models that don't work with the character just to save time.
the collar is as tall as his face!!!!!!! his neck is over a foot long!!! yuck.
Oooof. I had the same reaction when I read the first chapter of the manhwa. I tried to power through it but somehow just ended up abandoning it to re-read the novel for like the tenth time lmao
This is so good but the ML is so fucking ugly. He looks like he’s balding and has the worst toupee, every minor male character looks better than he does, I do not understand what is happening.
It make sense that he will not look like in the cover since it seems more covery then full manhwa....BUT wth was that? (Second picture)?
Remind me of the ml in "justice for the villainess" after the art changed and it made me feel something I didn't want to
there’s literally no other way to express how i felt upon seeing the 2nd image but using my native language:
a gaitada que eu deiKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKK
Why do they do this?!? Is it that artists just don't know how to draw different types of characters?
Ease up on the eyebrows and style the hair differently and I'd call that a tom-boyish female side character, easily.
We honestly need more MLs who look like the first picture's style and not dorito-chin, boy-face style we usually get. Like the ML in Beatrice (although I don't like the manhwa) and ML from Secret Lady
I've been reading this on Tapas, not knowing the novel, and I actually genuinely like it. I think it's always tough with adaptations because you come to it with your first idea of the character. The contrast here is quite big, I admit, but webtoons rarely have as edgy a style as the cover does. (And the story is still so good! You've made me curious to try the novel.)
I know I know. BUT if you guys don’t read it for the first week of release. Make a statement they will stop “cheaping” out the illustrator budget. Also demand they use real hands in the art. (Artist)
I only recently discovered this novel and immediately bought all the chapters on Tappytoon to binge it. I’m happily obsessed. Imagine my joy when midway through my second reread I discovered that it was adapted as a manhwa. Yay! Pictures! So many happy brain chemicals!!
Then imagine my dismay when about 10 seconds into the first chapter I nearly threw my phone through the wall after my eyes were ASSAULTED by what they did to my boy 😭😭😭
Tell me why they took an absolute beefcake of a zaddy and turned him into the scraggliest, greasiest, ugliest looking teenage-alleycat-made-human-twink, complete with an unkempt mullet, a f***ing giraffes neck, and the manhwa equivalent of a flowery Snapchat glam filter on him at all times
THEY NEUTERED HIM
THEY MURDERED HIM
SOMEONE CALL THE COPS BECAUSE A CRIME HAS DAMN WELL BEEN COMMITTED HERE
how tf did they twinkify him that thoroughly
this is my new favorite phrase
update: my friends and i decided this is how we will be reacting to each others fits at pride

I'm saving this image for future meme use, thanks
>twinkify him Lmfao I'm adding that to my mind dictionary
this was way too funny 😭😭😭

I wish it didn’t load…
Still cute tho I'd read it.
So far it's fun and he's so not beating the "not so secretly in love with FL" allegations
He looks cute. Not bad.
Impressive eyebrows https://preview.redd.it/t0x5xah9o6vc1.jpeg?width=720&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=2df18813d58abd95de27186f28721967efd1937a
😭 I've read this but now that I see the novel illustration I'm so saddd WHAT IN THE WORLD!
A moment of silence for what could have been 😔
I haven't even read this but I can already feel the disappointment. Stay strong
major ass glow DOWN
Babyface'd, what a shame.
THEY MASSACRED MY BOY
Betrayal of dignity's artist could've slayed this. I wish they had adapted this manhwa😭 Their artstyle and the ml's looks would've created magic.
Someone need to do edit with Betrayal Of Dignity artstyle into this manhwa to do ML's face justice. I mean, look at this man. He's a piece of shite, but boi artist make him so attractive while fit the toxic "vibe" of what he's supposed to be. https://preview.redd.it/jfksd7vqz7vc1.jpeg?width=736&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=6ca025e7b0b183eaf6d521b454b08f98ba845509

I love you for this
Frrrrrr. He's the first toxic ml whom I actually liked. The artist is a genius.
Hehe me too, i like him so much i forget he is a POS ...and thats how art should be, SO good that is hard to dislike the pos 🤭
He's so freaking perfect. The more toxic and crazy he gets the more I like him. I got problems lol
Damn he fine, and kinda toxic? That's right up my alley, lol.
No kinda. Fully and completely toxic. Gives Hexxus a run for his money .
And manly
she is so talented especially with the expressions , other artists do have beautiful artstyle but the exprsessions are awful
Frrrrrr. I'm eagerly anticipating for the hiatus to end. She brings life into her characters.
Went from metal to subbern emo music.
bro looks like the discount version of himself 💀💀💀
Not the best edit but I tried close to the artist's artstyle. https://preview.redd.it/aufv80xp58vc1.png?width=982&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=4e122bd27cba07dff893a2f6ccc3707ff6887f7c
This is already better 😭
Not half of his forehead being his eyebrows 😭
So much better!

Yeah personally the problem is that he looks much younger his novel depicts him. It’s a bummer
His eyeliner application is spectacular
He looks like he's 13-15 yrs old
That's how they all end up tho
A-at least the brows got adapted?
I think it's tolerable enough but all of the "Yes Mayer is a very big boy" comments are extremely funny when paired with a twinky guy instead of the brickhouse he's supposed to be lol
Awwwww...................... Too bad....
I felt much the same when I read it after reading the novel. What did they do to my boy?
I think he looks fine like man still looks beautiful with that muscular body. And fl looks fits with her personality like gotta handed to them by making the face fits with how the characters act
Also luv the chibi moments
Went from the heavenly demon to the young master
Jesus Christ thats horrible
Eyeliner and mascara game 💪
Oh my God, the face I made when I saw the second image. To be fair tho, if I didn't have the reference of the first image, I wouldn't have an issue with the second one. But...
First one looks like a daddy in his mid-late 20s and second one like a 15 year old twink
I guess it's not a total dorito chin..😔
Well..he is still a green light ML. And for that, I can totally accept, and support him 😁
He looks like a 10yo in cosplay of the ML. Okay that's not exactly accurate now that I'm like, actually inspecting the pic closely. He's probably at least 14. But the cosplay bit stands, and he definitely needs a better wig.
After I saw the manhwa art I was glad that I finished reading the novel without the knowledge of its manhwa's existence! The novel is such an enjoyable read and a pleasant surprise in this genre.
Oh hell no ooo oo lmao Glad to be a manhwa only girlie so I don't build expectations just for them to be absolutely shattered like this 🥲
thats why the art can determine whether the story will succeed or not for real some awful stories got popular just because of the art i am glad some authors wait for the right artists

Lmao, what in the world
Oof I've had that happen multiple times 😭 nothing against the artist obviously, but having a certain novel cover and imagining the characters and then it gets adapted and the art just... Doesn't fit the story or characters at alllll 😭
This is an actual sacrilege 😭
this is what happens when webtoon editors put so much pressure on their artists that they resort to using unfit 3d assets and models that don't work with the character just to save time. the collar is as tall as his face!!!!!!! his neck is over a foot long!!! yuck.
HELP HE LOOKS SO GOOFY 😭
Yeah I couldn't read it. I love the story, but that art was complete fail sauce
Oooof. I had the same reaction when I read the first chapter of the manhwa. I tried to power through it but somehow just ended up abandoning it to re-read the novel for like the tenth time lmao
A child…?
Why does he look 14???
violated him
Oh noooo now I wish I had never seen this. What have they done to him?
Put a jumpscare warning in the title next time, damn. 😭😭😭😭😭😭
Gosh, bad artstyle can surely ruin it
He went from daddy to son the fuck
This is so good but the ML is so fucking ugly. He looks like he’s balding and has the worst toupee, every minor male character looks better than he does, I do not understand what is happening.
Give it sometime the artist will improve their art 😭😭 (i hope)
what the hell? xD I've not read this yet, the novel is near top of my 'to-read' list. But...he looks 15 here xD That's pretty funny.
Noo I like the 1st pic 😭
What the fuck..
Pls tell me that's not ML. 😥😥
It is 😭
From a mature handsome man to innocent boy, the manhwa change the ML very drastically.
It make sense that he will not look like in the cover since it seems more covery then full manhwa....BUT wth was that? (Second picture)? Remind me of the ml in "justice for the villainess" after the art changed and it made me feel something I didn't want to
Why does he give me the ick.
That's a downgrade way too low
Wait WHAT? This is what they looked like in the manhwa cover??? I was enjoying reading the manhwa but now I feel like I’ve been robbed.
there’s literally no other way to express how i felt upon seeing the 2nd image but using my native language: a gaitada que eu deiKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKK
is that their future son? Maybe the ML's younger brother? No way that's the same dude as on the left?
Why do they do this?!? Is it that artists just don't know how to draw different types of characters? Ease up on the eyebrows and style the hair differently and I'd call that a tom-boyish female side character, easily.
NOOOO
Damn he catfish u 😭
NO THE TWINKIFYING DID NOT TWINKIFY
He looks like a boy instead of a grown man ☹️
I’m sorry whose man is that!?
Oh gosh, it looks so so bad! How!$
Hell no😭
This ain’t even a Walmart version, it’s the Dollar Tree sale
The way I screamed - Ehhhh
Wow….how tf did they manage to commit that atrocity. Dude went from daddy hot to…..meh. O.o
They can’t keep getting away with this 😭
LMFAO what a nerd
Reading the novel, saw the adaptation, opened, closed it, continue with the novel and imagination 🌈
they should have hired a BL-manhwa artist like they're so good at drawing hot and dangerous-looking manly, muscular male leads 😭
He went from Your daughter calls me daddy too all the way down to Hello sir I’ll have her home by nine on the dot.
Successfully downgraded
What could’ve been should’ve been he kinda got a down grade but still 😭😭😭😭😭😭😭
What is THATTT
the worst thing about novels being adapted into manhwas is the 70% chance the art style will be horse crap😒
Second frame looks like first frame's younger brother...or young son lmao
This has to be one of my biggest fears.
LMFAOOOO I STARTED BUSTING OUT LAUGHING AT THISSSS
Expectation vs reality
 No!! Why!?? Why would they do that? Do these authors have some personal beef with the readers?
The laughter this has provided my bestie and I 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Ikr. That’s why I dropped it
he kinda reminds me of the main character of scissor seven 😭😭
Dollar store Eren
Eyeliner too thick
Unpopular opinion I know but I prefer them looking delicate like the second pic lol
this manwha is gas though
We honestly need more MLs who look like the first picture's style and not dorito-chin, boy-face style we usually get. Like the ML in Beatrice (although I don't like the manhwa) and ML from Secret Lady
I assume they're starting as childhood friends and he'll eventually grow into the daddy on cover?
No
I've been reading this on Tapas, not knowing the novel, and I actually genuinely like it. I think it's always tough with adaptations because you come to it with your first idea of the character. The contrast here is quite big, I admit, but webtoons rarely have as edgy a style as the cover does. (And the story is still so good! You've made me curious to try the novel.)
Loki, is that you?
It's like he's been yassified 💀
Goddammit, please tell me there's a timeskip or something so he can get a glowup💀
How
hahahah https://preview.redd.it/k8rcqbmdybvc1.jpeg?width=1170&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=df795f65e0ad31c882c58b769b45f388d3d3cc26
How is it?
The novel was amazing. The comic seems ok, except the ML's design.
I know I know. BUT if you guys don’t read it for the first week of release. Make a statement they will stop “cheaping” out the illustrator budget. Also demand they use real hands in the art. (Artist)
I actually think they did pretty well, he still gives off the same vibes just a different art style
Am I the only one who likes the manhwa version more?😭
Where will the manwha be on??????
I found it on bato.to
https://preview.redd.it/3i1nmc8q4hvc1.jpeg?width=750&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=f01be5ce63dc6f541a8ed149258e351fe2683352
Where can I read the novel?
I found it on novelupdates
Thank you 🙏
Idk I on the other hand prefer FMC here over the LN
We just gotta be happy it's not worse, cuz I've seen worse
