POTN is so hyped now that it has its own army of antis and they are faithful. After 70 chapters, any person can sense the author is the snail pace kind of story teller so imagine reading this for 70 chapters more knowing exactly how you will feel and that it will be disappointed. They follow the story not because they enjoy it but because they hate it. Think how much of commitment this takes. Someone here asked about the psychology of hate following a story with the only pleasure of putting down or mock the readers who cheer or like it. It's nothing new actually that popular stories have they own Antis who can't love it nor leave it. To me it takes more obsession to be an anti that to be a fan since the last one means that you get some positive feelings or reward. The common sense among mature adults is that, if an author is not delivering the development or the plot you expect, you don't waste more time on it or take a break and come back later. Antis though never falter. I get though the Anti psychology. It gives an opportunity to feel superior to another group as the common factor of the Antis is to mock, shame or put down readers who are okay with the author's view of the story. Being an anti on popular stories may not give you joy reading the story but you get to play Debbie Downer on a party that you can't enjoy but also can't leave it because you want to be where everyone else is.
