It can have spoilers

I dont get all the hate on this manwha. I mean I know the storyline differs from the novel and thats why the majority is mad. However if you forget about the novel, I find this new direction of the story quite refreshing. Normally you wouldnt get to see the consequences after beating the villain, u would only see a happy ending with kids. And I like how the story focuses on the other characters as well. For example showing Cliffs obsession with the author (not lize) or also the dukes side and slowly resolving killians trauma. They feel more human now than when the story was focused on Edith (what makes sense bc they were controlled by the author before)
Of course it could have ended, when the author was beaten, but it would have been a generic isekai mawha I would forget about soon. So now its quite unique but thats just my opinion ╮(￣▽￣)╭
