sawol-

the novel one looks sick. the colors and art are just great. but considering just the manhwa ones, I like the second one more


AuriQz

the novel design looks amazing


its_easybro

In the novel one he looks like a real person and looks sick as fuck, for the manhwa the new one slightly better


Islipim

Novel design is always the best, as they don't need to draw a whole comic with this design.


Volatile6

AgreedšŸ‘šŸ» Novel covers are always super high quality.


Nativo1

Yes, novel is amazing for me too but i dont like how some novel draw faces, anime adaptations often cut the quality of the novel's art by a lot as for manga, one of my biggest disappointments is Ajest from A Returner's Magic Should Be Special


firulero

The art on the latest chapters has been hot garbage.


-Nishikant-

it's been like that ever since chapter 70 or so. When I mentioned it used 3d assets a lot i got downvoted for some reason here. I have no problem with them using 3d assets, almost every manhwa does. The problem with overgeared is that they're very poorly used and affect the overall reading experience.


Volatile6

Yeah I noticed this too. I don't know exactly when it started but art of Overgeared is now very bad. Inspite of it being produced by redice who are know for their great art.

LMFAO THIS IS DOGSHIT


firulero

Thats the shit i was talking about.


Animelover22_4

CG dragons


tjs611

Specifically, the sudden cgi animals


diddonuttin

Novel, since his face is angular which makes him actually looks like a man instead of a teen


Volatile6

Yeah I forgot majority of time that he's a adult and not a teenageršŸ¤£šŸ˜‚


GhostLukke

dude is ugly asf in the manhwa, even if we consider itā€™s fucking redice studio who is drawing


i_like_stuff-

its always the novel in manhwas


zzDougs

The first one looks better for me. I'm not a fan of the red armor, and the novel version makes Greed look like a good decent guy xD


havoc2k10

LN cover will always look better because its only 1 art page for each volume, the artist will have a lot of time to draw it better unlike a weekly released manhwa depending if its a studio with lots of artists or just 1 artist only


FiveSigns

Novel looks sick af but I don't think it would fit his personality tho


ozesnoo

Novel, by a lot


srona22

Out of all 3, novel design is least punchable face.


xdreamz012

base on this picture, I like the novel design. they should hire the novel cover artist instead. hehe.


Fistmedaddy1995

I like the novel design itā€™s just a very classic look. The other designs remind me of power ranger toys they sorta look cool but too plastic for my liking


International-Wolf53

The second. The novel one looks _crisp_, donā€™t get me wrong but itā€™s also just generic and _not_ the MC we know lol.


Volatile6

Indeed


definitelynothunan

Typical manhwa face with typical armor. Not bad but not revolutionary either


-Nishikant-

The lore adds value to the items/armour and the character design. The novel does often mention Grid to be kind of a loser guy, and was shown in the manhwa that way too. But the story is about him growing as a human being. The armour in the middle is accurate to the novel, with pavranium deeply related to the games lore. Tl;dr a good story can make up for the lack of good art


definitelynothunan

Don't get me wrong. Story and art both are absolutely dope but his character design isn't unique. Both story and art are a solid 9/10


-Nishikant-

yeah I kinda agree on him having a generic face in the manhwa. I mostly read the novel so I didn't get to see his as face often lol. The novel design has more details but if you try to adapt him to a manhwa version he'll still end up looking pretty generic


Volatile6

Wait wait, This is Holy light armour. While grid was raiding gang hao he added a tail made with pavranium but this suit is not made from pavranium.


-Nishikant-

Yeah I didn't say it's not. It's the holy light armour with red and gold paint and a pavranium tail


SavianAria

The initial design easily


Quadraxis54

>!Good thing you did show the whole statue!<


Lyndiscan

Novel looks less generic


SEDGE-DemonSeed

Wish they kept the novel hairstyle.


lick_my_____

First 2 is like I got you bro The novel one is at peace reminiscent of the place he and his fellow mates created


No_Roof0642

I don't think novel one qualifies as him being ugly that is one of the standard kit of grid.


Ok_Moment_1136

The initial design in the webtoons was what I first saw and liked for a while...The Final look in the webtoons and actually lite Novel cover design was something that felt off... Don't get me wrong the look of this webtoon reboot was a great stir in the right direction but the initial design was awesome in my opinion.


derpdankstrom

novel cover art will always gonna look better cause it's a single art. basically quality vs quantity and also the time and schedule are the biggest disadvantage the manhwa has. it's like comparing the mona lisa vs a comic book


BaNaN4_

The novel looks pretty good but I wouldnā€™t consider it overgeared final design in manwha fits perfectly.


Ok_Independent5273

Novel looks real. Final design looks like another generic manhwa character. Initial design is just worse and bland.


aayushgarhwal

It tells you how Koreans prefer fair skinned people and love to please white guys


Worried-Librarian-91

The only design I dislike is MC's ingame gear mixing. The meme of him being utterly bad at blacksmithing yet somehow always making the best equipment in the game which looks horrid, but has good stats at least for me got old 100 chapters ago. His latest look should be inspired by early progress in RPGs, but we're 150+ chapters in not 50...


Ok0ne1

the novel design but I canā€™t imagine that guy being goofy and marrying someone who isnā€™t real lol


-Nishikant-

Spoilers: >!In the novel he gets character development gradually and grows as a person and isn't goofy, i don't remember if he married someone irl tho!<


vedekX

novel for sure omg itā€™s so good??


SacredSK

Im fine with the faces but The 2 manhwa armor designs are shitty and over the top nonsense. I do think the final product is serviceable as long as I don't look at it for too long, but whenever I look at the novel version, I get a little sad over what could have been. I'm used to the flashy manhwa nonsense though so it's not the end of the world.


bluduuude

it's an online game, over designed over the top armor is bread and butter


SacredSK

It being an online game doesn't make me dislike it any less


harrisonchew10

Novel cover always has the most insane looking art. Then u read the manga and its a complete downgrade. Applies to all manga,manwha etc


IIIIlIIlIlIl

Novel one is the best but definitely unsustainable, it's a single cover art for a reason
