What sets the Korean webtoon apart is its unique main protagonist, withTBATEintroducing a mature adult man who is transported to an isekai world.
The manhwa heavily emphasizes action-packed scenes with very few light-hearted or funny moments, especially at the start, which could present a challenge for the production studio and require them to inject their own creativity.
TBATE‘s author alsoacknowledged the difficulties, sharing his personal experiences and lessons learned during the project. He shared:
While it’s easy to say that the anime should just copy how the webcomic does it, I’ve learned that there are a lot of different factors involved in the story development process even for an adaptation so I did my best to push for parts where I felt were important while also allowing the director to make decisions that he felt best served the anime audience
TBATEfollows the story of King Grey who gets reborn as Arthur Leywin, on the magical continent of Dicathen. As he grows older, he mastersmagic and carves his own path, determined to right the wrongs of his past.
Most manhwa heavily focuses on the protagonist, which can overshadow the potential and development of other characters. While this works well in the manhwa format, the anime adaptation doesn’t always receive the same treatment, often facing criticism for lacking content.
