I read the first arc of the webtoon a loooong time ago. Always meant to go back and read the rest. Felt like I've heard that the rest wasn't as good as the first arc which was why I stopped but I dunno.

The first part (pretty sure what the anime covers in full) was what got very popular among the manga community way back when in 2012/13.
The first few arcs of 2nd part is different in terms of pacing, artstyle, characters, focus so took a lot of immediate heat for not being part 1 2.0.
And there was a period where the author needed timeoff due to surgery which effected the ending to one arc (workshop) and the start of another (revolution road) with the pacing being pretty awful across that time and is generally considered the lowest points of the comic.

Since around the namehunt station arc (midway through part 2), most of the fanbase has gone back to being very positive of the comic.
