I might drop this.

and before anyone comes at me for no reason, this hasn't been a random decision. I've just lost trust in the writer.

I've been reading this since it's early days, when at some point this story was dropped by the original translation team for like 4 to 6 months and all we got was melted pages and ai translations that would melt your brain. When most people disappeared.

I stuck through it cause the main story was fascinating.
A cursed kingdom and monarchy, an heiress who saw ghosts and couldn't reveal her magic bloodline or suffer execution or the downfall of her family.
her going under disguise to save the prince and break his curse but also get freedom for magical folk. Even the flashback arc where we followed the couple who started it all and doomed everyone for generations to come.
The nuance of it all was just so fascinating and the love story thrilling.
Characters that acted grown cause they were grown folk.

but now I feel like the main story is lost in the trial to build a new one to continue this all.
maybe unpopular opinion but I feel like this should have ended when she went to the seaside.
Her spending so much time there just to reveal it all amounted to nothing was like a slap in the face to the stories og lore imo.
Like maybe hint at a reuniting to satisfy the romance part of the story but leave it open ended because now the true story could continue in their world (ikr counter productive to what I've been saying) but that's just my thoughts.

idk,
maybe I'll come back to it one day when it's finished and be proven wrong,
but even after writing all this I realised just how we started and what's been long forgotten for the sense of "fresh plot" and It's just not for me.
