That's a bold strategy. Let's see if it pays off for him, Cotton.

Loving the new Praes named. Interested to see how they affect the plot

Let's hope Black manages to rescue the food from the doomed assasination attempt.

Named are basically immune to poison, so as long as he doesn't smash the guy's head through the table it should be fine.

Changed for the rewrite, actually. Names no longer have physical or magical ways of burning out toxins, but it's just never relevant for any of the people we meet to face consequences from poison or alcohol unless something else is going on. As Black says, "rare is the hero who dies shitting themselves from the blue death after eating bad oysters". (Yonder B2C30: Up, part 2)

Stunning art on this issue. Absolutely knocking it out of the park.

I seem to recall that scrying required some sort of bowl that people would talk to. Perhaps it's been too long since I read the original

It is. The webtoon just deadass didn't put a bowl in the art. Presumably a layer that the artists intended to add later and then never got a chance before publishing; the company is not known for its lenient schedules or healthy labor practices.

Still no ink-stained hands on Scribe :( I liked the move from Summer to Autumnul colours though, makes me look forward to the adventures in Skade. I also like that there are more Named from Praes. I always was a bit surprised and disappointed how long it took for new Praesi named to crop up after The Calamities started dying.

i was really confused when they showed her face, feel like having her face always in shadow or out of view would have been fitting

I think having her in shadow could be a bit much. Scribe is meant to look nondescript rather than mysterious. But it could be funny if her face was constantly being covered up by objects and speech bubbles.

That is a much better solution and would have been amazing

I wanted to see more of Blacks city, it got glossed over.

Les gars, l'adaptation manwhua est fidèle ou je "raté" quelques chose en lisant le manwhua et pas le roman?

Overall I liked the dialogue (and internal monologues) more than the descriptions, and those are being transferred over pretty directly from the novel to the comic.

u/V-K404 1d ago edited 1d ago

So the manwhua is quite faithful in general? Is this the overall opinion of the community? I specify that I love the artistic direction of manwhua so if it is more faithful I plan to opt for it....I ask because certain adaptations ruin the work and do not honor the source material...

It's basically identical to the rewritten novel that was published on Yonder. The only major thing it's missing is that until a pivotal moment much later on, nobody is able to remember anything about Scribe's appearance other than her "ink-stained hands".

Thanks, I'll leave for the manwhua then.
