Why did they even bother to make an adaptation of the novel if it’s practically a fanfiction of it? There was no love triangle or romance at all, so why did they have to add it like why can’t we ever have a strong female lead without a man or the story involving romance in it somehow they don’t do that with mc who are men so why did they have to do that to this story I love romance, but not every story has to have romance in it.
