I'm starting the story after reading Adastra and it feels fine! Kinda sad they got separated... and i'm still having the expectancy of the human coming back and loving his dear wolf forever, i hope they portray that.
As people say, i'm also disappointed by the character's changes, neferu looks more like a dog, and Amicus looks less of himself, stiff, less 3d and just like... a different wolf? also he looks less hot... i don't like this!
They could just have him portrayed him better as an emperor, intelligent and matured, and STILL looking like him, just as before. It's not like "oh guys, y'all just nostagious and used to the old artstyle and bla bla blah" erroneous and biased assumption, he just looks too different, his bodily personality (sharp eyes, defined muzzle, confident look) from before threw aside. A contrast is that Virginia is absolutely gorgeous! they made a good rework on her. Also neferu, even that i didn't really like too much of the change, he still feels like him.
Time passed in-story, but Amicus just straight changed his genes man.. atleast for me.
Furthermore, despite my hate for the new artstyle, i need to congratule this mix of politics and romance, i've never seem before, it feels intriguing as well as astonishing.
I'm still looking forward for the new story.
