This is my biggest hesitation. I just cannot read that many chapters and further, sceptical that the manwh will last long enough and have enough of a fan base for the story to wrap up. I love the story though and breaks my heart it most probably will never finish.
The webtoon only covered about 60 chapters of the novel! That's like 5% of the story!! It is very daunting to read that many chapters, but it's wonderfully written and translated. Once I got hooked reading, I wasn't thinking about how I would never reach the end. I was so immersed in the story that all I wanted was more!
The problem is whether the OG author and the artist of the manhua have the patience to see the end of it properly. The novel ending might be rushed while the manhua might not give detailed panning of everything. Having read the novel for a good amount of chapters I will say that the originality of the plot is fresh and nice with it's own hint of mystery but it is very repetitive and the situation keep going round and round just to keep the book going to the point I had to drop it.
Oh that I can totally get, but as the same time, I just enjoy the journey. It's not within my control so I don't worry about it that much. It's good to hear you tried reading the novel! There were definitely missions and arcs I skimmed through because it was slow and too detailed. The relationship between the leads is what interests me the most and keep me reading. I actually stopped reading like 6 months ago because the author was on hiatus nothing is stopping us from reading summaries from the spoiler forum
No matter how much I love this story you're not getting me to go read 700+ chapters of the novel while the OG novel is above the 1115 chapters and still ongoing
