Did Sung Hyeonje ever fail?

Most people wouldn’t even think to ask such a question. He seemed like someone who had never even scraped his knee, as if he had succeeded in walking on his first try without ever falling. He must have effortlessly maintained first place throughout his school years, naturally taking the position of student council president. He probably entered university as the top student, graduated with honors, and, rather than working under someone else, built his own business—becoming one of the top 100 wealthiest individuals at a young age.  

A person whose brilliant golden path naturally shines before your eyes.

But the real Sung Hyeonje. He was someone who had experienced more failures than anyone else in this world.  

He failed, and failed, and failed again, stacking up failures like an impossibly high mountain until he finally reached its peak.  

Before my regression, I must have admired and envied Sung Hyeonje. Even after turning back time, I still thought the same. I believed he was perfect. I secretly harbored the expectation that, if he helped me, everything I had to do would become much easier.  

But now, I know about his failures. I know how long he had wandered. The perfection I once looked up to had cracked and faded, yet—  

That imperfect Sung Hyeonje felt far more amazing and wonderful. I couldn’t help but be impressed. 

The path that exhausted me after just walking it once—he had endured it for an unimaginable amount of time.  

He never gave up. He came all the way here, right before my eyes. And in the end, he surpassed it.

Fell in love with the storyline

Got Plopped In a Ghost Story, You Still Gotta Work: A visual primer for English speakers

This took me a week. I did this for ORV like 4 years ago so it felt like my moral obligation to make one again.

Some notes on character designs and images without text:

Gorals and domestic goats look very different, but in Manor of the Blind attention is put into how these two are similar and contrasting, the truly noble Go Yeongeun with the white goat and the sinister Baek Saheon with the black goat. I also picked a literal goral instead of a mountain goat (which are naturally white) because gorals look more like roe deers than goats, making the 3 of them more closely linked.

Because this is a horror novel and unnatural features aren't mentioned, I tried to keep this as grounded as possible. Sorry to the three WHABs I eliminated in cold blood ⭐

Another hardliner of of grounded designs is Jin Nasol, who gets the most ostentatious anime character treatment besides Jay in fanart. She is coldly utilitarian and prizes efficiency over all else, there is no way that woman has bangs

I am not giving Park Minseong brown hair. There is nothing wrong with a good warm black

Lee Jaheon is often depicted as an adorable little newt in fanart, but a huge part of why he is so hysterical is that he is scary, so I picked more intimidating lizard traits so he functions in both dramatic heroic scenes and eating granola bars with the wrappers still on. He gets to keep the newt mask though

I gave Braun white gloves at first but I saw a Braun cosplayer and a demon possessed me. I have no idea what colour is canon. who doesnt love black leather

Making Jang Heo-un the "sharp eyes meek personality" trope made my brain light up so good. I was trying to contrast with the relaxed eyes of the easygoing Park Minseong to make them more obviously different but this feels cosmically correct

You can use these pics in whatever. ⬆️
