A major point of discussion surrounding the anime, especially its finale, is its breakneck adaptation of the source material. The series compressed roughly of Yongje Park's original webtoon into just 13 episodes. Episode 13 alone adapted chapters 108 to 112 , leading to a notoriously rushed conclusion.

It set up multiple cliffhangers, including the quest to find the Monkey King's homeland and the ongoing search for Mori's kidnapped grandfather. It remains a fascinating, flawed landmark in the wave of webtoon-to-anime adaptations, proving that incredible animation alone cannot compensate for a story that is given no time to breathe.
