even as a couple it’s not forced LOL they’ve always been very sweet to each other (even mc jokingly getting jealous of both of them as a bestie n brother). it would’ve been nice to keep them as just that but it also doesn’t seem like they’re suddenlyyyyy into each other. it works
Yeah, I feel the same way. Even when they show the other couples, nothing really is being told and nothing is actually progressing with them.
I think people are iffy about the story's focus bc a number of things...and this is just IMO, but 1) The chapters where MC went back to the first reality and ML/BFF had the accident and disappeared had everyone on edge, thinking MC was trapped and wouldn't be able to get back to the alternate/second reality; 2) We're 140+ chapters in and the chance of MC going back to the first reality could be "a thing" and happen again, plus not getting any answers as to why and also not getting any answers about....well....the whole situation/story in general (lol) might be causing everyone anxiety, so they're getting antsy when other couples come into play.
Again, it's IMO, so I could be wrong. Me, personally, I don't mind where we're at in the story and the length. This is one of the only stories where if it kept going, I wouldn't mind. It's honestly like a soap opera where one SL can take a decade to finish lmao. And you're still not close to getting all the answers you need. Days of Our Lives used to be a biiiig culprit of this, though I haven't watched in years. I do wish that we can get at least SOME answers like why MC went back to the first reality in the first place.
Sorry for the long comment btw.
we’re 143 chapters in n they’re barely acknowledging the possible side couple (mc’s sister n bestie), wdym yall don’t want the focus to shift LOL it has not shifted at all! nor is it forced, even this chapter that was about them still focused on the plot (sister trying to figure out if they could prevent what happened + her getting ml’s half brother’s contact info which she can use in the future to try n contact him to find out if he knows what happened to ml.)
