I feel like plot-wise, on Ian's part especially, a lot of things are yet to be discovered and fueled for the plot. Like the fact that Ian and Peter once knew each other. Or that Peter "gave" something to Ian to keep it for a few hours. Most likely something valuable that could prove to be a plot point. Also the health center is a very big problem in this world. Something that needs to get rid of once and for all. I would actually be disappointed if they don't try to stop this inhumanity. And again, Ian was in the health center for a few years which could be helpful in the future. As for Van, I'd say he's already quite a big part of the story. We see him probably as much as the main couple. It's not a character that appears rarely. He's here every 3 to 4 chapters. Anyway, I just wanted to show that the side couple might be as important as the main couple, especially when you know that in one way or another, everyone is somehow entangled in this whole mess
yeah, honestly they’ll probably get a whole storyline as secondary love interests typically do once the first couple’s backstory is established. I really like the side couple but I think people are being super impatient or acting like they’ve never read a manhwa before because the side couple is typically developed in the later half of the story and yet every comment is just bashing the author and the fact that they’re not getting enough of ian or van. Definitely not implying that you’re doing that and I totally agree with you in the fact that there’s certainly potential to incorporate them more into the plot and I’m sure that’ll happen now that the author is taking breaks lol.
why are people complaining about an added hiatus system when technically we shouldnt even have access to it in the first place because we’re reading it for free. For a bunch of people who have spent the entire time complaining about how bad the story and main couple is you all seem to be real upset that you’re can’t read the story you apparently dont even like. the side couple is cute and ian’s design is especially unique but they’re side characters because plot wise theres really not much happening there. (maybe with a break the author can actually add some) idk this is a pattern at this point, overcompensating for the thing thats less popular or more niche with a bunch of negativity to project that y’all are different. I’m sure you all actually like the side couple but the hate is so forced and performative like get an actual personality
