Oh wow I was not expecting this. Their art is super pretty. Kinda wondering what went on behind the scenes because looking at their account it looks like they have plans to work on something else. So it doesn't sound like they had to stop working on it because of health reasons or something similar.

Worth noting that the author has another series, Let’s Get Married First, in which the artist also left and got replaced. Not sure if it’s related to the author or the publisher.

u/Recidivous Apr 09 '25

Just speculation, but it may be an author issue. I remember there was this one otome isekai that kept changing artists every season because the author was difficult to work with. Apparently, it's common in this line of work over there.

u/adocider Apr 08 '25

same i loved the artists’ style esp when it came to cuter moments involving karhan 🥲

u/AvidProcrastinator21 Apr 08 '25

My honest reaction this is... quite a blow but hopefully the artist is okay 😭

u/Resident_Analyst_523 Apr 08 '25

Using kaneki having a psychotic awakening as the reaction image 😭 😭

This is weird. This is the second series by the same author where the artist left. Let’s Get Married First at least just changed artists, but the art is too different from the original and not as lively. A lot of readers, including Korean readers, dropped the comic because of it. So I’m not sure what’s gonna happen with this one.

u/KissKringle Apr 08 '25

Either the author is sus or they just draft contracts differently. Could be that they only pay artists by the season and they just didn't meet the needs of the artist.

There's a lot of examples of authors and editors working their artists to the bone and having to leave because of that, but it could also just be contract issues

u/TheCrazyOutcast Apr 08 '25

The author has two other comics, not sure what their status is yet but so far they still have the same artist. Since this artist is still working on other things I don’t think it’s a case of overwork, if the issue is with the author. Perhaps the author is just picky and clashed with the artists in some way, or maybe yeah, it’s a contract issue— or the publisher is kinda shady. Or maybe the artist would rather focus on her new project than this one.

u/KissKringle Apr 08 '25

Yeah I believe it's more of a contractual or just differences because we haven't heard anything like health issues or whatever luckily

u/Raydnt Apr 09 '25

I still weep on how "Valia, Tribute to Shuden" changed artists, such a travesty.

And then there are series that should change artists because of how much the art degrades over time, like for "Revolutionary Princess Eve" and "Please Marry Me Again!"

u/Mari_Lyn If Evil, Why Hot? Apr 09 '25

the change in art is HUGE

u/GhazzyEzzah Sarcastic Super Sword Apr 09 '25

Someone commented that sometimes, there's just a bunch of authors that were picky or difficult to work with.

Tho we still don't know the reason with this one, maybe it just due to normal circumstances (artist has another priority, contract ended, etc...)

u/Brilliant_Damage986 Apr 08 '25

Noooooo this is one of fav new OIs. I even read the available translated novel chapters and was looking forward to the adaptation.

Hoping that it gets season 2 and if it does, the art will be good (i don't rlly have high hopes when it comes to artist change. Plz prove me wrong this time....)

u/TheCrazyOutcast Apr 08 '25

Where’s the novel?

u/adocider Apr 08 '25 edited Jul 28 '25

edit for future commenters:the website that held the fan tl for the novel has was hit sometime last year resulting in most of the chapters being deleted apart from the first 20

u/Comfortable-Ad9506 Jul 28 '25

Hello, I can't find more then 20 chapter, like the other link is no longer available. It'a just me ? Do I have to do some thing to access the whole chapter ? Please help me, I'm In love with this story but i can't find the novel anywhere 😭(Sorry for the mistake, English is not my first language and I don't speak really well)

u/adocider Jul 28 '25 edited Jul 28 '25

hello! unfortunately i was informed a good while after this post that any chapter post 20 was deleted by the translator due to a novel hunt sometime around october 2024 unfortunately no way to access the novel outside of what the translator says at the end of chapter 20

edited initial comment to reflect current situation for the novels fan translation for future commenters thank you for reminding me of this post😭 🙏

u/lilwriterUwU If Evil, Why Hot? Apr 08 '25

EXCUSE ME WHAT

SO ILL NEVER HAVE THIS AGAIN??

u/Nolalanoire Apr 08 '25

Okay I felt my heart get stabbed after seeing this news, this is so not fair. Used to go crazy for Karhan because of his teddy bear personality, strong hands and nice chonky pecs. I hope the new artist can capture the charm of the manhwa in their own way like "The Second Male Lead is actually a girl".

16

u/adocider Apr 08 '25

i wanna have faith that the new artist will do him justice but if not i’ll just stick to reading the novel

u/Orito-S Apr 08 '25

u/-Roxaaa 3D Asset Apr 08 '25

i mean the series isnt ending, just the artist is going away

u/Lilinoa Shalala ✨ Apr 09 '25

But the art made it awesome… it’s like « Once Married » the art was so radiant… the new artist made the characters bland…

u/-Roxaaa 3D Asset Apr 09 '25

i agree, it will be tough to find a suitable replacement

u/jo_nigiri Terminally Ill Apr 08 '25

NOOOOOOOO

u/-Roxaaa 3D Asset Apr 08 '25

u/CurlSquirrel Apr 08 '25

Nooooo!!! They really nailed the whole giant hulking teddy bear in love with a cute small bunny who actually has ferocious teeth vibe.

u/HoshiAndy Apr 08 '25

Did she say why?

u/adocider Apr 08 '25

currently no mention of why from the artist or kakao

u/chibimaron Apr 08 '25

Oof this is a big blow. The art is big draw for this one. The story is good and the art really enhances and makes it all come to life. 😭

NOOOOOOO, whyyyyt. There's no way the next person is gonna have the same feel to it :( Should've paid this artist more, seriously. This is gonna kill the series.

u/jtatom23 Apr 08 '25

Noooooooooooo I can't have it on hiatus forever hope there will be a new artist

u/No-Chard1852 Apr 08 '25

Nooooo. The art was so beautiful! The story won't be the same without them 😭

3

u/Nildzre Apr 08 '25

What a shame, hopefully the new art (if we even get a season 2) won't be a change on the level of Justice for the Villainess

3

u/Otherwise-Candy9399 Apr 08 '25

I'm so sad! If they get another artist, I hope they are just as good. If they aren't, I'll read the novel, as I really love the dynamic of the characters and think the story is super cute. Fingers crossed the old artist is okay though! I know sometimes life can happen, the story isn't interesting enough to keep the artist interested, or the artist was being treated awfully, so hoping they are okay and get to keep doing what they love.

u/calmcrown Apr 09 '25

We've lost another one

u/Delicious_Living_716 Apr 09 '25

NOOOO i was so excited for it to come back with the god tier art again 😭

u/Icy-Instruction-5357 Apr 08 '25

u/CelerySecure Therapist Apr 08 '25

Geez, art and artist changes ruined two of my favorite reads. I am not happy.

i was planning on reading this but im glad i didn't before I got too invested 😅

u/Ciez17 May 04 '25

When I wanted an update on this series, I DIDN’T MEAN THIS! Man, this sucks. I wanna believe that the new art can still work but the OI record shows it probably won’t. Goooooooooooooosh why do all the good stories suffer?! 😫

u/irksomesine Jun 07 '25

Where does the story pick up in the WebNovel? The series stopped at chapter 52? What chapter is it in the novel?

2

u/loppedoffhead Jul 01 '25

In the novel, its chapter 57. Hope this helps!

u/SummerFaz Jul 28 '25

I just read it today fully (chap 52 ) after leaving it to finish up for a year so there is enough to read, just to be met with this, it's honestly sad, many artist are forced to stay with a series because the art is loved and letting it go breaks our hearts, but as much as we love the work we should respect the artist and understand, glad the artist isn't a pushover. As sad as this is and it's already been a year I hate art changes. I find it hard to finish novels but since I feel like crying with how unfair things can be I will find my way to enjoy it. Honestly the original work is mostly always better so reading the novel will give more of the raw imagination I hope 😊

u/Forsaken-Assist4640 Aug 09 '25

I'm crying what do you mean!?!  I literally left it for a year to let it update and now I come back to hear it's be dropped!?!  No more cutie patootie bear!?! No more karahan!?!  And it was doing so well tooo?  The art is beautiful and the story was growing so well  I've lost trust in humanity :(

u/fadepierced Aug 14 '25

Also, does this mean the story will be canceled, or will it continue with a different artist?
