I wonder what part of the story they actually want to showcase. They're skipping so much I can only think they were given a very limited number of chapters published.
I started reading the novel because so many comments says a lot gets skipped and they were right, there's really a whole lot that got skipped/changed. The art is the only thing keeping me reading at this point.
Kunir was killed but she had such a cute design! I wouldn't be surprised if she somehow became a pet like the dragon and was revived using a skill/item.
