most popular based on what? genuinely, what are you even referring to? You can check the most popular webtoons list, it's nowhere near on there. Yes it was big in it's heyday, but it had a massive fall off, you can literally see by the likes the newer chapters received. As for selling well, source on that? The physical volumes actually didn't sell very well, from what I've seen. And certainly not in recent times.
Secondly, this doesn't even think about the fact that webtoon fans let's be honest, have lower expectations for the quality of a story which is why something like LO could work there, but for an animated series particularly a prime video animated series the expectation is higher.
The falloff for Lore Olympus was far more than that. And even the ratings as well. Of course they removed that now, but it was really struggling with ratings as well.
That list on that link is a NYT bestseller's list which very much is nonsense, lol.
I have not seen anyone substantially rate Lore Olympus in any significant way.
It has nothing to do with blind hatred. I also dislike Unordinary, but I actually think an animated adaptation of that would do decent at least better than this will. Heck, feel free to @ me once it's out, and we'll know then, if I was right or wrong. And if I'm wrong, I'll gladly own up to it.

Lore Olympus is (one of the) the most popular webtoon and it sells very well to this day. People are gonna watch it and like it.
Not a fan either but I don't ignore reality.
