The artist introduces a new faction (or at least I haven't seen any one of them in the novel, except for their master) as the protagonists from the start, the Handicapped Warriors, but later on we don't see them all that much. It's also all a bit soap opera-ish in execution. I still haven't gotten past the 14th volume, unfortunately, since it drags on so much.

it is base on a historical novel, he can't really not introduce the new characters and later on kill old ones if the manga last that long.
as far as character design being the same, i really didn't notice. The background character look similar but i thought all the major characters look distinctive enough.
for people who have trouble following the story and the different factions. here is a very very general overview of the plot, maybe it will help.
