#i am so suprised that they actually mentioned jeju island by name in this most recent ep. like it was shocking

changing things between adaptations is to be expected and is mostly fine. like i get that going from a novel to a comic things will have to be cut out due to the difference in mediums. andi get that for an anime not only do you need to be able to convey the same story but it also has to be interesting to watch. but that doesnt mean. you need to add in an uncessary scene just to change a different perfectly fine scene that then impacts another scene. which in turn actively makes the main character stupider. and weaker. for su/ng ji/nwoo to see that alchohol doesnt affect him in a conversation with his sister (that. and i might be wrong but im pretty sure happens after the scene where its supposes to happen anyways) which in turn makes the scene where j/inho akss him to form a strike team with him not be one at a bar but instead of a coffee shop. its like. ok. this is annoying. but i can live. theyve been changing small things like this to make it more "nartively interesting" or whatever. but then for jinwoo to not be like wait... no poison? i shold drink that poisoin then... and instead have the system shove it in his face when hes about to die. literally takes away his deductive reasoning skills. <-also i just remembered they straight up just switched the scenes there was no reason for that. like he gets fried chicken with his sister and drinks the venom after he realizes hes immune to poison in the manhwa vs in the anime where he getrs fried chicken before. ok. sure.

and the thing is that this keeps happening. again i can UNDERSTAND adding/changing small things to help with a nartive flow in a tv format!! its annoying sometimes but i can udnerstand!! but its like. everything they change literally detracts from ji/nwoo's character. it went from him understanding the commandments all himself in the double dungon to him needing a hint in order to be like Wait a minute... it went from him making a conscious decsion not to bye weapons and thus learning how to fight without them beacuse weapons are too expensive for things that break easily to him just apparently always fighting with a dagger. it went from him in the instance dungeon, aware that because he never buys weapons hes fucked to remembering hunter songs sword he had, and thinking that its the least he can do to use his sword when they abandoned him there <-WHICH ADDS TO HIS CHARACTER MOTVIATIONS to him being like oh no my dagger that i have for some reason broke!! good thing i have this sword!! LIKE. LIKE

there are small changes throughout the entire anime that end up completely shifting s/ung jinw/oos character. like completely. he went from someone that became incredibly smart and battle savey due to him being incredibly weak to someone who was incredibly weak and yet had never adapted beyond that in order to survive better. every single change made is incredibly minor. and yet. they completely oestricise his character
