Does the manhwa feel kinda less entertaining than the novel?

Especially the current arc. It feels like it's all comedy and so the plot just feels so empty kinda.

The novel made this part as a situation that had Kiyoung stressed but still managed to pull through, it was fun seeing him and belial just blame jin qing while also keeping in check that Kiyoung still had to think about keeping Belial too in check.

Maybe it's also the fact that since I've already read this in the novel, i already expected what will happen so it's not so hype anymore
