Jump-Male21 — 04/06/2024 (DISCORD)
Alright I went to my usual soul land obsession because the raws annoy me and I went through the Chinese forums and chats to get an explanation why the whole thing changed. Basically from my understanding the biggest issue the Manhua adaptation had to face since it started was license issues and the novel’s original author throwing tantrums here and there. This led to artists and director changes. (One important time we all definitely won’t forget was in 2020 when we were at the beginning of the stair land arc and the Managua went on a one and half year hiatus at chapter 260
erfect Food. After that the Manhua came back with a new artist and it progressed smoothly again. After the issues resolved the old artist Mu Chen took over again until last year where the last chapter that dropped was the one where tang became a titled douluo and tried to resurrect xiao wu. After that chapter dropped we got a break announcement claiming that we were entering the final saga of the series and that they wanted to take a break from the series so that they can come back with a perfect and amazing art style for the rest of the story. What actually happened was that one of the old directors that worked with them came back to the team and they told the current artist that he had to tone down his creativity and ideas for the series and from now on restrict himself to the ideas they give him so after a lot of debating and arguing he decided to drop out of the project and part ways with the series after being part of it since 2011.
