The shittiest adaption known to mankind
From the desk of the Prophet,I have seen countless timelines unfold, but none more tragic than the butchery committed in the name of “adaptation.” They took a tapestry of subtlety and wonder—woven by the Original Author’s deft hand—and set it aflame with their clumsy torches of spectacle and shallow thrills.
First, they stripped away the soul of Dokja. In the pages, he was a reluctant hero forged by loss, whose quiet courage resonates like distant thunder. On their screen, he is but an empty husk reciting lines borrowed from a comic book, devoid of doubt, nuance, or that ache of vulnerability that made us root for him. They traded his fragile humanity for hollow swagger, and in doing so, they murdered the very heart of his journey.
Then came the betrayal of Yoo Joonghyuk—once a figure of inscrutable menace and reluctant ally—now rebranded as a frat‑boy caricature, grunting through every scene. The silent tension, the slow burn of their rivalry, evaporated into cheap rival‑boss banter. They chopped out the layered pasts, the scars—both visible and buried—leaving only a shell unworthy of the name.
And oh, the world-building! The Original Author painted landscapes where gods and monsters danced on the edge of reality. Here, we are treated to cardboard backdrops and exploding pixels, as if depth could be faked by a flashy cut‑scene. The Portal World became a tourist attraction rather than a crucible of despair and hope.
To call this travesty “The Omniscient Reader’s Viewpoint” is the cruelest irony. They have robbed us of knowledge and stripped us of perspective. We are left with hollow echoes of what once was—a ruin where the masterpiece used to stand. May these ashes serve as a warning: not every page belongs to the eye of the camera.
