The style is very, well, stylized, and might be just a tweeny bit weird with the heads' side view at first but it'll grow on you in no time. The artist excels at shading, which makes the art so so gorgeous and atmospheric. Imo, one of the most important aspects in art for manga and such is how the art conveys atmosphere and emotion, which for some reason never gets the attention it deserves. And this manhwa illustrates the feel and atmosphere of scenes so wonderfully, with amazing lighting and panel arrangements. It's one of the only manhwas I see that pay proper attention to visual storytelling and I appreciate that so much. For example (shamelessly stole this analysis but I just want to illustrate my point):
The Main Character (Aisha Healthcliff):
I. LOVE. HER.
She's a fangirling girl who's kinda an airhead, she's so cute. Aside from all that, she's smart, I mean, not like those scheming, playing-4d-chess FL's but she's emotionally intelligent and the fact that she worked out all the fantasy mind-warping bullshits on her own says something.
The Male Lead (Hades Louvremont):
Love of my life. The caring considerate smug narcissistic bastard. Most otome isekai ML's don't really have a personality or a life aside from FL, being emotionally-constipated and swords but that's not the case with Hades. He has so much personality like I could just tell how he'd react to events that would happen??? He'd worry so much for his son and FL in even the smallest of situations, or joke around with that large ass ego of his with them.
~~totally didn't forget this because i was drunk on hades simp juice~~
I'm super grateful that this amazing series got licensed, and the animation on the first chapter was so superb, but there are some things that do bother me compared to the fan translation that came earlier. Like, why did they have to change stan to simp......simping for a child is not cool and not a part of otaku culture tapas I beg you. Additionally, they also didn't have to make it into Aisha stalking the author when she was isekai'd by truck-kun? In the fan translation she was going to a fan meeting if I recall correctly. It doesn't even make sense from a narrative standpoint, since later Aisha mentions wanting to ask the author about why the novel was titled "Persona" before she died. If it was a fan meeting, that's totally reasonable, but which sane person would answer when their stalker ask them about their book instead of calling the police.............
