But then what is keeping the readers from dropping the story? I get if u generally like it and have some criticism about the plot here and there but bashing it constantly after every episode just to come back next week… like girl give it up then

Some possible explanations that cane to my mind. While it may seem atrocious to you, there's people who cannot drop something when they started it.
Some are atill hoping for the story to get better despite their dramatic hate towards certain things ir actions have been displayed.
And lastly. You know those people who watch the nastiest, corniest, cheesiest, most horrible romance or whatever kind of movies? Yeah, people like consuming media that is just shit. Not saying this story is shit(i may think so or not), but theres a lot of people who like consuming media or things despite knowing its not good in general or even not good for them.

Attachment (?). They're attached not only on the story but the people coming to read the story. This is a genuine reply of mine, I've been to healthy manhwas but I've noticed that the comsec there are not as lively and busy and crowdy as here. So,one reason why people are always here despite the toxicity of the story is to interact with other people.

If we talk about toxicity,Jinx is not the only manhwa with toxic ml and plot. Actually,there are more with much darker plots and mls but why Jinx is popular? Because of the readers and the comments. In today's media,the more bashers,the more incomes. Before,during,and after the chapter release,jinx dominates socmed ( like now, it's Dan's birthday and I've seen in my fb acc a single post with 20 thousand likes and hearts ). Since jinx is popular in socmed that's why people came here to socialize.

Yep, sunk cost fallacy
