Novel spoilers ahead, be warned!!
There's wayyy too much filler of the mcs in game where 0 plot or relationship development happen. Like at least 10 whole chapters of nothing. Out of the countless game scenes in the last forty chapters of the novel only one (1) deepens their relationship.
They just got together where I am in the novel, and they're still having so many stupid miscommunications even though there is NOTHINGG stopping them from just talking it out. YeoWoon knows Jigu has the wrong expectations for the relationship but never sets the record straight because the author needs to force conflict. Everything feels like it's happening just because the author needs it to rather than the plot being caused naturally by the character's actions.
In the novel they also have? No chemistry? It feels like they're two strangers who have a gun to their head and are forced to interact. Their first explicit scene was so damn awkward too bc Jigu keeps forcing himself to like bdsm when he so obviously doesn't, and YeoWoon goes a long with it when he also can tell that Jigu isn't fully into what they're doing. I kind of don't even want them to get together anymore bc of how icky their relationship feels to me
I may be blowing this out of proportion cuz I'm super picky about what I read but I did really love this manhwa with all my heart so what I say doesn't come from blind haterism, but from genuine disappointment.
I'm <10 chapters away from finishing the novel and it fell off the manhwa seems better overall so I'm praying it saves the story bc I can't handle losing this
