That's what I've heard too.

A good number of reviews I've read of the source novel was that the story had an interesting premise and beginning, but with poor execution, flat characterisation, forgotten side characters etc. leading to a disappointing ending.

Consensus is that the main reason the webtoon got that much acclaim to start with was due to Jang Sungrak's art. I assume a lesser artist would have led to Solo's webtoon being far less memorable (which is something I've noticed with Korea's webtoon industry; sometimes you get complaints that the original novel was amazing but that the webtoon art was ass, which really diminished readers' enjoyment.)
