I am not sure about the story going nowhere, the plot is moving, this is just at the pace where things are slowly brewing for a bigger and more complex plot to come in, but I do see how the MC's personality has changed. It's no longer fierce and completely dependent on the ML. Considering one of his strong points is independence, according to the author, it does seem a bit sad how much he's changed because of the ML and how desperate he has become.
The fact that they always seem to "solve" problems by sexual intercourse, is frustrating, I have to say.
Also, when the ML slapped him in the face...I thought it was cute when he couldn't slap him in the earlier chapters, that he couldn't even follow through with the MC's bedroom ventures simply out of love...ig...but to slap him, esp in a state of anger and for the mc to already be injured and not even questioned as to how it came to be or to even take care of him...is sad and it says alot about their personalities and relationship, it's even more sad when we consider how the mc tries to deny ml being a part of a criminal organisation or how he worries over him being hurt.
The MC has mellowed out a lot, a looooooooot but I do at the same time see why he has become this way, too.They look different too, I've noticed.
The art is amazing but the plot has taken a nosedive, the story has gotten nowhere, the characters personalities have miraculously disappeared, and now it's just another one of those abusive ml manhwas. Save time and skip the read this is ridiculous.
