A good story, but the main relationship isn’t it

Okay look the story was really nice and original in some point I feel. I enjoyed Latte’s personality and the general rolling of the story, but there are a few points that actually got me out of it, or at the very least that got me to dislike the story.
The relationship between Arwin and Latte got me uneasy. I know they end up in love and all that, but at the start they weren’t the ones with the most chemistry? Also during a big part of the stories, Latte just has to go through Arwin’s endeavors and she can’t really act about it or say anything about it, and idk the power imbalance there was here made me want to skip some chapters. It feels like Latte had to tolerate Arwin A LOT before any romance developed and it got me uneasy.
I found the chemistry between Kenneth and Latter better on that aspect, cause although they had a dog and cat relationship, they were mostly on the same level, and there was a lot of teasing even if deep down they recognized that they actually appreciated each other, and they ended up as friends yes. I was okay with Kenneth not being the canon ML but WHY did the story had to have chapters with him as the male lead? This got me really surprised honestly, but not in a good way, cause then it made me crave and desire to see more of that “other universe”? It emphasized on the sides of their relationship I found endearing and how I thought they could turn out, because up to some point in the story, the mystery is still here (at least for me) as to whom Latte is gonna be romancing. Seeing Kenneth and Latte together got me even less appreciative of the Latte Arwin relationship, that felt more forced to me, and then I was also flustered that Kenneth did not have a proper ending of his own, cause I felt like he deserved a happy ending, something more than a few lines about who he would end up with. I also wanted to know more about Ibelin and what happened to her kinda, as she still occupied a big part of the stories. And, it may be because of how I felt about the main relationship, but the last chapters felt especially long to me. Like I kept going through them and wondering …still not over? Some side stories were cute, but it was way too many chapters.
