Some people like that, and while it's hella boring (because it's flat, shallow if you will) to me; good for them if they're happy!
But yeah, i'm glad some authors are trying to create interesting character dynamics, because that's my personal taste.
There's nothing wrong with re-using what's been done before, but when characters/events/plot points have been made thousands of times before and you can guess the end of the story by the 10 first chapters? (jinx's obviously not the only one in this case, no shade to the author once again.) well it's too bad but i just lose interest.
Here the characters had a more equal power dynamic because of how they control and manipulate each other and it was nice to see their relationship unfold because of that!
I see a lot of reviews about how so many readers hate how selfish everyone is being, and I want to politely disagree. I love how the characters are moving, if only because I’ve been witness to literally almost every manhwa’s meek, dependent, weak willed characters gaining mass popularity for doing absolutely not a thing. I don’t know if the plot itself is to my taste, however, as it’s slow, but I’ll hang on and see where it goes.
