I understand why everyone is bored and don't like the second story much, but I actually love it a lot. The mc is insufferable and stupid, yes, but that's because you're viewing this whole thing from afar. I regard this new story as another metaphor for the human behavior. As a previous comment had pointed out, it's like the stories are about the seven deadly sins, and this one is about greed.
Had you had the opportunity to have all your wish come true just by yapping about some sad thing that happened to you before, believe me we'd all be lined to wish. Then once we get one wish fulfilled, we'll wish bigger and bigger. It's human nature to never be satisfied because we always want more, it's just some are better at controlling their greed than others.
This plot is about how even when you reach perfection, you still want more, and how this can ruin someone's life by never being content with what they have, or at least knowing when to stop running for perfection any longer. A lot of people sought out this manhwa for the vibes and aesthetic of the first plot (me included) that the second one feels annoying to them with how excessive and childish the vibes are, but that's literally the whole point of it. The dreamy oversaturated effect, the sea, the island, the icecream and candy, it was meant to highlight the la la land perfection theme. You just need to accept this is not a single story and they all won't necessarily feel the same, but the delivery of a philosophical and psychological topic is the essence.
