I've seen some folks lately questioning whether to dive back into this webtoon or to try it out for the first time, hesitating due to the considerable amount of poor criticism and negativity in the comments. I feel the need to do justice to this webtoon by addressing some common critiques and sharing my personal experience and viewpoint.
On the Perception of this Webtoon Being Dragged Out:
A prevalent criticism revolves around the notion that the story is drawn out. While I understand this sentiment, I believe it's a bit off the mark. The weekly updates create a sense of elongation, making the narrative seem dragged out. However, having picked up this webtoon when it already had 240+ chapters, I binge-read it in just five days, and not once did I feel bored. The story flowed seamlessly, getting better with each chapter. Admittedly, this might differ for those who have been following the series from the start. It's worth considering a fresh start and binge-reading it if the weekly updates leave you feeling adrift. To fully enjoy this webtoon it must be binge-read, is the viewpoint I stand by.
The intermittent breaks the author takes due to health issues also contribute to the perception of elongation. While these hiatuses can span months, they are justifiable, given the importance of the author's well-being!
On the Absence of ML Choice and the Romance Tag:
Another frequent criticism pertains to the protagonist, Yoo, not having chosen a romantic interest. Despite the 'romance' tag, which confuses some readers, it's crucial to recognize that romance isn't the central plot. Instead, the narrative delves into intricate relationships, the human psyche, and profound themes such as fractured identity, feelings and doubts and selfish selflessness. Drama is the lifeblood of the story, and as the characters evolve, they become more nuanced, mature and captivating.
Acknowledging the Artistic Improvement:
I must highlight the tremendous improvement in the art style. From composition to anatomy and overall design, the latest chapters showcase a significant enhancement. The art complements the narrative in a truly fitting manner. (I’m so in love with it that I wanna eat it lol, I’m sure it tastes like cookies with milk)
In conclusion, I urge potential readers not to be deterred by the opinions of others. Binge-read the webtoon and form your own perspective before passing judgment. Sending lots of love! Bye-Bye! ( ̄∇ ̄")
the ending is what ruined it for me, all the build-up for nothing. i loved the story but it seemed like the auhor didn't know how to end it so they just did whatever. i understand that it's hard to round up the story smoothly and well, which is why so many stories have rushed endings and it's soo sad
reread, crying, again ╥﹏╥ this is so beautiful
