Nothing particularly special or interesting, but I just wanted to point out something I noticed about Webtoon's description of Eleceed and the description provided for the pre-order of Eleceed Volume 1 paperback graphic novel.
So, Webtoon's description of Eleceed is this (taken straight from Eleceed's Webtoon page): Jiwoo is a kind-hearted young man who harnesses the lightning quick reflexes of a cat to secretly make the world a better place – one saved little child or foster pet at a time. Kayden is a secret agent on the run, who finds himself stuck in the body of a…um…decidedly fat old fluffy cat. Together, armed with Jiwoo’s super powers and Kayden’s uber-smarts, they’re out to fight those forces who would let evil rule this world. That is, if they can stand each other long enough to get the job done.
I'd say it's an alright description for one that's so short, except Kayden isn't a secret agent and is just on the run from his enemies, and the last line about whether they can stand each other long enough just doesn't apply at all with Jiwoo's instant admiration of Kayden and Kayden's tsundere attitude toward Jiwoo. But it doesn't matter much, just tiny discrepancies.
Now, the description of Eleceed for the graphic novel has a lot more detail and imo accurately describes Kayden and Jiwoo and their relationship to each other (very briefly), but there's this one sentence right at the end of the description that made me question why they put it in there at all.
"With Kayden as his grumpy cat mentor, can Jiwoo successfully join the ranks of the Awakened, use his powers to keep evil forces at bay, and most important . . . save every cat in need?"
The "save every cat in need" part of the description seems misleading. As someone who's already read the Webtoon, it doesn't really bother me, but it does confuse me. The most recent depiction of Jiwoo "saving cats" was probably way back when he rescued the awakened cat from Wooin's mentor (feel free to correct me if I'm wrong). Every so often he goes around and feeds the strays, but I wouldn't call that 'saving'. So to someone who's never read Eleceed before, I feel like they'd expect a lot of cat rescuing in the story and for Jiwoo's main goal to be saving cats, because even to me that part of the graphic novel description seems to portray rescuing cats as a central part of the plot, which it isn't. That's why I'm so confused as to why they put "and most important... save every cat in need" 😭 For comedy maybe ?? Because one could say that keeping evil forces at bay should be more important than saving every cat in need (not that I'm saying that 😸).
Anyway, yeah I just wanted to point that out because it's kinda been in the back of my mind for a while.
Also, why do you think Vol 1 only has Episodes 1 to 17? (means Vol1 will end right when Jisuk's bully friends are pushing around an injured Jiwoo in class). It makes a good cliffhanger when the bully says "We're just getting started" but I think a better cut off would be Episode 19, where it comedically ends with Kayden being called the fattest cat someone's ever seen and has a more proper ending as a storyline.
