So My Gently Raised Beast is a bit of a guilty pleasure manhwa for me (in that i would not like it if the main story didn't involve a leopard shifter and a female protag with a charming personality) so I have the first 3 official english released volumes. Pulling them out to read for the first time though oh my god they did not do this story any favors in the layout. All the pacing problems are dialed up to 11 because they don't isolate chapters they just divvy it up into "parts" for each volume that have no rhyme or reason. Like did nobody stop to consider that maybe you should just put an extra page to separate out the chapters instead? Now for nearly every chapter jump it just feels weird because there is nothing separating them- literally just one page to the next with no indicator so now it seems even choppier than before.
-_- Like its fine for me I know how the story goes bc I've read the beginning like 20 times but seriously please put some thought into how an average reader would perceive this. And yeah sure they already knew they had fans from Webtoon's digital release but maybe they also wanted reasonable chapter splitting??? Idk its just weird decision making
#my gently raised beast#manhwa#maely rants#and i also had the terrible time of learning that amon's skintone was made darker in the manhwa to make him “more sexy”#things i wish i could unlearn#yeah even before then its very much a case of 'oh the exotic animal tribe who lives in the jungle has a leader with a distinctly darker-#'-skintone and theyre considered more savage than civilised society' thing going on#which is yknow#racist as all hell#but it was literally only amon the other leopards didnt have any melanin whatsoever#so you could give em some room to doubt#not much but a little#aaaaaand then that ending note in volume one is so damning#like yay we have moved on to fetishizing life is wonderful :/#in that sense at least the novel just keeps them all pasty as fuck which is still bad for reasons but at least its not *that*
