This comes from someone who is also waiting for Ian: please don't comment things over and over again like "I miss Ian". I know how you feel but there are still people here who want to discuss the plot. I got information from Twitter that season 2 will end in less than 10 chapters (from raw chapter count) and it's possible that Ian will appear in season 3. So if you can't stand season 2, please stop reading it for a while!
Yes, I really understand the feeling of being annoyed because the flashback is too long. But there's no harm in stopping reading for a while rather than complaining repeatedly (which the author doesn't even read). I'm one of those people who wants this flashback to end as soon as possible, but instead of complaining, I'd rather save my energy by drop it for a while, and read again when Ian's back. I'm just giving advice tho, so that we don't look annoying.
Just wanna say, it's really funny that the Reincarnation plot is what made me start reading this manhwa. And the biggest factor is because I was captivated by Brian's blue hair during season 1. How I used to look forward to Brian's backstory more than anything. But now look at me, being the Ian's biggest simp and just realizing how good this story is when he was the main character. Well, we appreciate things when we lose them. Okay then, I'll stop reading this manhwa until the flashback is finished
I believe most of the people here actually don't mind the "slowburn" and political problems in season 2, since if you pay attention, that already happened in season 1. The problem is that the flashbacks are too sudden. This is what many people are disappointed with, it's a shame that even though season 1 was very good, season 2 feels a bit odd. It would be better if the flashback was delivered by Ian himself (for example, he gets a memory of his past, then we enter the flashback arc). So it's not surprising that many readers complain about season 2, it's something that can't be helped. Even the author should have seen it coming.
I'm a big fan of Haejin-nim's work, after the end of season 1 I was really looking forward to season 2. But I was quite disappointed with the storytelling. It's a shame that Eternal Covenant, a work that I really like, lost a lot of readers because of this...like...it could have been better, you know?
My point is... people are free to have opinions, whether you like season 2 or not is up to you. But don't be salty with people who have different opinions from you. as long as the opinion does not hurt anyone. and hey! You know what, criticism of a work is allowed as long as it is delivered politely and doesn't hurt the author's feelings!
It's so cute but i wish the top would be more expressive about his feeling
