Feeling harsh and dropping this

I got 34 chapters in and after goggling some spoilers because I know both this comic and the novel are pretty popular and I was finding it very underwhelming...Yeah, I'm not finishing this one. I honestly don't get what about this story draws such a crowd over other comics. And I'm saying this as a massive fan of the genre. It's really nothing remarkable compared to many of the other stories out there. The FL is nice and has a goal but with no real personality beyond that. The ML is possessive, unexciting, dime'a'dozen trash that we've all seen over and over again and the second ML is better personality wise but is honestly just possessive according to the spoilers. There's also low key a homophobic vibe at times that was just completely unnecessary??

I know that the Sweet and Beautiful FL x Strong and Cold ML is a super popular trope given that it's fucking everywhere, but it's rarely ever done well. I'd honestly kill for some variety here. I feel like I'm reading the same two characters over and over again in every damn story because god forbid anyone try to be creative rather than parrot the same shit we already all know the smell of. It's not like I hate every couple in this trope in every story, but why is this always the only the only option? Is this really the only sort of man and woman that the writers find interesting and romantic? Y'all may as well just be copying and pasting one another that this point.
