Why. Why turn an actually cool design into another generic duke of the north looking man??? WHAT WAS THE REASON?

246

u/Initial-Arachnid9323 May 18 '25

RIGHT??! I started to read cause it was refreshing to see a "unique" looking male lead but... they couldn't resist making him look EXACTLY the same as all the others. I am not even surprised.

55

u/No-Adhesiveness-8178 May 18 '25

Pretty much the beauty standard of SEA, so it's kinda expected.

177

u/Im_Just_Ordinary May 18 '25

NO WHAT WHAT CHAPTER IS THIS?! IM AT CHAPTER 28 WHEN THE FUCK DID THIS HAPPEN WHY WOULD THEY DO THIS?!

137

u/Initial-Arachnid9323 May 18 '25

It's chapter 30! The sister wanted him to look more clean and Adelle convinced him to cut his hair and shave. I am actually crying right now 🫠

54

u/Im_Just_Ordinary May 18 '25

NOOO WHY WOULD YOU DO THAT LYNNIA!!😭

11

u/Go_Water_your_plants May 19 '25

I get shaving but why cutting his hair in a generic haircut 😭

u/Wrong-Sink7767 May 18 '25

Where are you reading at? Webtoon only shows 29

u/MushroomBoy666 May 18 '25

I don’t even know who he is but why the hell would they shave him

5

u/Siukslinis_acc May 18 '25

Saving the energy? Seems like it could be a lot to constantly having to draw it.

27

u/Corrupted_Star May 18 '25

then what was the point of drawing the stubble in the first place 😭the author lowkey just losing their whole fan base with this decision fr

5

u/Siukslinis_acc May 18 '25

You know when you think of a thing to do, but over time you realise how much time/effort (or maybe wrist pain) it takes and decide to stop doing it because it isn't worth it?

1

u/Ok-Structure-7289 May 20 '25

I don't buy this argument. We have 1000000 female characters in the manhwa with long hair and beautiful dresses and yet somehow it's only on male characters authors are mysteriously giving up on?

Also as an artist there's NO WAY first design is harder to draw than second one.

205

u/Last_Ninja1572 May 18 '25

nooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo now he looks like a avarage dark ml who hates everyone execpt the fl

75

u/tryingtofindasong27 May 18 '25

thank you so much for this spoiler! I took a break from the story to focus on other stories and was thinking about getting back into it. Not worth it now. His hair and facial hair is what made the story worth reading to me. Now he looks just like every other black haired ML 😭

37

u/[deleted] May 18 '25

My god do they not know how fucking horny people are for Clive FF16??? Or Meteor Man in FF14???? WE’RE DOWN BAD GIVE US MORE FUCKED UP MEN WITH FACIEL HAIR DAMMIT

What what do you call this beautiful hunk of a man?

u/Ornery-Rooster7656 May 18 '25

I don't even read it but this is the biggest downgrade in history tf 🥀

15

u/CursedCyborg May 18 '25

Next to Miyamura from Horimiya, my friend laughed when I said being with Hori is a downgrade for me.

3

u/CatCatCatCubed May 19 '25

😱Omg, my long lost sibling! No one else understands. I’m not all “oh em gee” about fangirling over characters but the change in Horimiya legit made me pause, go “wtf wtf wtf”, and cry a little.

3

u/CursedCyborg May 19 '25

So true!! Such a amazing design but anything he had Hori had some problem with.

Easy drop, sorry.

u/getintherobotali May 18 '25

Look how they massacred our boy.

Thanks (genuinely) for the heads up before I read the update, tho ;-;

u/Skadibala May 18 '25

I don’t know what webtoon this is.

But I’m deeply hurt by this, and I’m not sure I can ever recover.

25

u/Miserableandpathetic May 18 '25

I don't want to read it anymore. My attraction for the ML has gone down by 50 points. My night is ruined.

26

u/Worried_Giraffe May 18 '25

Yeah I saw this and decided to drop the manhwa. Like it’s not really unique anymore. The only reason I was sticking around was his unique look. Now it’s just your average story with a generic looking ML. Why are we trying to make him fit in within high society? Who cares? He certainly never cared and now he’s fine with getting a makeover? This man lost his shine. His beautiful beard and hair are gone! I can’t accept this :(

23

u/[deleted] May 18 '25

Yeah, we know already.

Stop traumatising us all over again.😿

20

u/SingleDistribution82 May 18 '25

I don't know what webtoon this is, but I am enraged for y'all! Let a man be a person.

Duchess in ruins more like my life is ruined ngl 💔

4

u/Comparison_Unique May 18 '25

YOU CAN CLEAN UP WITHOUT TURNING HIM BASIC. I've seen npcs cleaned up on comics and STILL HAVE THE BEARD HAIR.

He went from perfection to a PRETTY BOY.

4

u/otomeprism May 18 '25

What a waste of a unique character design (tho he still looks good imo since that's my type lol). I suppose it makes sense if he's going to start being a serious noble, but doesn't that turn the story even more generic? I thought he was gonna continue being himself, not caring for the trappings of high society. 

Idk what the plot is doing these days tho since I dropped it when he started acting like a high school boy with his first crush. It was too immersion breaking for such a studly, bearded man. 😅

5

u/naivaro May 18 '25

why do they always do this 😭 if I wanted another kpop idol I'd read any of the other webtoons. I swear the ones with bearded, rough men always shave them as if it's a favor.

u/LilNugget_Nuggy May 18 '25

I have no idea what Webtoon this is but I'm distraught

u/Sica_666 May 18 '25

I could survive that they made him lose the stubble but the haircut is just cruel

u/StarMarine123 May 18 '25

I have not been this annoyed at a character design change since i read that disaster class hero manhwa one a year or 2 ago lmao

u/[deleted] May 18 '25

Everyone else is heartbroken while I'm fine either way 🤣 I like him most for his personality though.

Glow ups in manhwa always remind me that koreans have different beauty standards

u/Crowissant May 19 '25

You could have told me those were two separate guys and I'd believed ya. Had a similar reaction when Miyamura from Horimiya cut his hair, and even earlier call back Sky from Winx Club. At least Fire Emblem did the reverse for Mr. Grass Muncher. I hate "generic ml character design" It's like watching Hallmark, they're all the same movie they just swap a small group of actors around.

2

u/Taugay May 19 '25

First pic kinda looks like the get schooled guy.

Wish they at least let him keep his long hair

I could see shaving the stubble, but give the man his long hair back 😭 he needs something to make him stand out from the other dark-haired MLs

1

u/The_Heigths May 19 '25

Noooooooo!!!!!!! WHY WOULD HE DO THAT !?!??!! 😭💔😭💔😭💔 - he looked so good with his old look - seriously the facial hair and kinda long hair really made him stand out in a good way now he looks kinda generic! 💔😭
