@magisxdv Most important factor would be pacing. The biggest issue both anime and the book for lotm had was the pacing. Coi fixes that, making it much more engaging to read. Which again, can translate to make it better in the anime than it would for lotm.
@_bblala@JoshuaAmusan6 He would still have an understanding of the beyonder world from thr nighthawks. Sunny is untrusting, but he knows how to cooperate. He will only try to maintain things on a surface level, but he isn't stupid enough to not make use of nighthawks. That same applies to thr grey fog
@magisxdv OK, thats your experience ig. Regardless, mu point stands that coi vol1 is better than lotm vol 1. So as an anime, it will do far better than lotm
@_bblala@JoshuaAmusan6 Yeah exactly. So the first time he would do is try to get away. He is smart enough to figure out he's in danger and do what he can to stay alive
@KingCSage1@JoshuaAmusan6 Sunny is childish, but he isn't stupid. The entire first nightmare shows how resourceful, manipulative and aware of his surroundings Sunny actually is.
@KingCSage1@JoshuaAmusan6 It is about knowledge, and about being smart enough to survive. Thats the whole thing that kept klien alive, as well as the castle. Difference is, sunny won't hesitate to run away and escape before things go down to hell. Being spiteful means he would do whatever it takes to live
@magisxdv Nop. The anime didn't really have the time to develop Neil in thr anime cos of pacing. Not to mention even in the books, nightmare>clown easily
@_bblala@JoshuaAmusan6 I agree. He would likely leave tingen cos he won't develop a deeper bond with the nighthawks. But he's more than smart enough to stay alive long enough, even if it means not going further as a beyonder. Besides, i won't put it past him to swindle the acting method from someone.
@KingCSage1@JoshuaAmusan6 Sunny is too spiteful to die easily. Does his curiosity get him into trouble? Yes. But he still knows to stay away from forbidden knowledge
@rggn_rek@JoshuaAmusan6 That argument holds for diary but not for history. ZHOU MINGRUI wasn't good at history. Klien was. So if we want to make a semi fair comparison, it should be that sunny inhabit Klien's body, giving him access to Klien's former memories. Still I don't think sunny would go that far
@_bblala@JoshuaAmusan6 Honestly this is very valid. Without his flaw, Sunny would be very manipulative and apprehensive with the nighthawk. But I do think he would survive long enough in the story and might take a different path from klien but he won't go too far because of it.
@JoshuaAmusan6 He would still go pretty far, cos he is smart enough to manipulate the tarot club, but maybe in a different sense from how klien would do it. But because of his cynical nature and him finally getting a family, I think he would be more subdued with what he does.
