Some broad strokes remains the same but the details have changed a lot and allowed for more frontloading of exposition and for some characters to be better defined, which I like.
I've started Tanya the Chansey alongside reading Game of Champions. I don't dislike game of champions but there's some incredibly silly things in like how how GIovanni and Lance refer to eachother by their number (i.e tenth and eleventh since that's which champions they were/are), Brock killing pokemon with his jetblack onyx named skyeater. Also Red remarking on how hot he finds lance and then Gary sending him a dick pic is funny. The exposition is very clunky, especially since the framing is that this is Red telling a story. That sort of thing worked in Moby Dick and to a lesser degree Dune because the main characters there were either learned in a subject the reader wasn't, (which wouldn't be the case with Red explaining basic facts and history to Rocket grunts, really he comes across like he just likes to hear himself talk), or we the audience were learning about new things with our reader and when not the narration, provided not in universe, was telling us about things we needed to be filled in on.
Tanya the Chansey on the other hand is a lot more immediately digestible, cute, slow shenanigans with Tanya as a Hapinny in 2~3k word chapters that slowly introduce new concepts as Tanya learns about them.
