I just finished watching this last night and am very eager for S2. I figured reading the material would hold me over and also give me more insight into the world and characters that isn’t in the show. 

But I didn’t know if it mattered if I read the manhua or novel first. If you’ve read both, which do you recommend I do?

The manhua isn’t finished. It covers the first book (which is also the first season of the donghua) and a part of second book. Plus the art style might look a bit inconsistent on some sites because the artist changed it a bit. Even though the first chapters were redrawn some sites still have the older version.
The story in the novel is finished and it is quite long but, personally, i think it’s worth the time.
But the manhua is worth reading too for the additional art done by its author and the art style itself.

I will say novel, because I think the manhua is on hiatus, but I'm not sure about that

Would you be able to show me an example of the old art style compared to the newer one?

Definitely the novel. The manhua is censored so you don’t actually get any romance between them. Even if you don’t care about romance I’d say the novel is better.

Oh wow, definitely a difference. I think I do like the newer art better. I appreciate you taking the time to show me that!

Since we mahua isnt complete or anywhere near it, i'd say read the novel instead! Also, the manhua somewhat presents the characters differently from the books, at least in my opinion:)
