think i prefer this over the og version
I, as me personally, wouldn't go that far (yet).
It does have a different feel to it, though. One that implies to me, that the author realized the original intent either shifted as she thought up more of the progression of the story, or that the intent early on wasn't set up clearly enough to match her vision.
Either way, I really don't mind the changes.
I like(d) the earlier chapters of the OG version. But I would also say, that this "new beginning" fits the OG later chapters (Ren's character in particular) much better than the original one...
Hnn... so, to me (so far) neither is better or worse, overall. They are very similar superficially, but on closer inspection just so different that I would not be able to compare them properly. There are many things I like in both versions.
I think, it's nice to see that the author did not only take this opportunity to polish up her art-design (visually) but also to adjust some of the narrative presentation. Even on this scale that certainly took a lot of effort...
I wonder if she did that on her own accord or if there were some legal issues that had her redo the whole thing (for it now being published somewhere else). If it was voluntary, then kudos. If it was not, then... well, still kudos. XD
