Honestly the buildup of Noah slowly regaining his memories was the best part. There was the painful dissolution of Scott and Jade's relationship, and the mystery of what happened on the night Alex was murdered. I loved slowly dissecting Noah from Scott, and wondered what the hallucinations really represented. The parallels between Noah in ghost form vs Dylan in chains was also pretty good...and then S2 came around and the quality started to unravel.
I want to say that things became too straightforward, and the artstyle became more and more generic, with a hefty use of 3D models that stiffened all life this manwha previously had. I would much rather have Noah be a "I was born this way" not an "I was made this way" character, because its been done to death and would've been more interesting. It wouldve been harder to explain why he wanted to be loved by Dylan so much rather than it being the one thing his love-starved child yearned for.
And the hallucinations/apparitions from both parties are never explained. Is Dylan lowkey schizo? Is the ghost from Scott really there, or was it a manifestation of Noah's possible guilt? Whyd he just pop up and vanish? Why is Scott's body constantly getting hit by cars? Is that an indication of some greater power (such as fate and order) trying to return the dead to its rightful position? And Jade was just a throwaway character. I was so invested in the idea of possessing someone else and having to deal with their lover, but it ultimately didnt add much to the plot. Jade was literally used for sex and fanservice, not only by Noah, but by the author.
The ending was really straightforward, too. It's not bad, but dissapointing. "What goes around comes around" theme was already established in the beginning, when Noah had no control over anything and could only rely on Dylan's presence to motivate him. He was tortured before, so why do it again? It shouldve had a more tragic ending lmao, both of these idiots shouldve been dead/covered in blood

(I've reposted this countless times now but I'm going to keep doing it since it seems to be helping some people who forgot the plot or is confused by it.)
To anyone who has forgotten the plot or is confused by it, the texts below maybe can help you.
(Disclaimer: Everything written here may not be 100% accurate but I'm pretty sure it's at least has an accuracy of over 90%)
_______________________________________________________________________
This is basically the gist and what has happened so far:
- Demons can only enter our world through Doors which are humans.
- Joon becomes Cain's Door.
- Cain is a powerful demon who is at war with another powerful demon(?) named Satan.
- Cain can't defeat Satan because of the bullet in his heart which was shot either by Satan or Satan's subordinate. The bullet was from the fusion of weapons from heaven and hell.
- The bullet has significantly reduced Cain's power which is why he instructed his subordinate, the albino bitch Sid, to find the demon doctor that can fix this bullet injury.
- Cain gave Sid a special compass to help him find the demon doctor.
- Turns out that Sid is a traitorous bitch so now there are other demons messing and is after with the couple i.e. Cain and Joon.
- Sid became a traitorous bitch because he believes that Cain is not fit to be the lord of hell because he's too "soft". That and it's also because of that weird demon parasite(?) inside Sid that's is quite possibly influencing him too.
- JinYeong is Joon's bestie, who is secretly in love with him.
- Sid for some reason becomes infatuated with Jin Yeong so he tricks him into having sex with him, then he eventually kidnaps him and keeps forcing him to have sex with him.
- The Demon Doctor, named Aaron, has a clone that was killed by a demon (the demon was that weirdo demon that always smiles very widely). The demon was Sid's subordinate who Sid gave the compass to and instructed to find and kill the doctor.
- The demon did not know that it was only a clone. The real Aaron thought that the attack was probably caused by Satan so he went to his friend/ally, the Pink-haired demon named Gael to find Cain to seek allegiance and protection from Satan.
- Aaron and Gael arrive at Joon's house to apparently help Cain and in doing so gain his alliance and protection.
- Both Aaron and Gael are afraid of Satan and they are hiding from him in our world, well Gael is, Aaron probably have other reasons.
- Aaron is actually the demon doctor that Cain has been looking for but Cain doesn't know that.
- Both Gael and Aaron used to be on Satan's side. The reason for their current state is still unknown.
- Sid suddenly arrives unexpectedly at Cain and Joon's home and Aaron recognizes him as the employer of the killer of his clone.
- Aaron is thinking of a way to prove to Cain that he is the doctor that he's been looking for since Cain is skeptical due to him meeting many fake doctors in the past and his trusted subordinate, Sid, reported to him that the real doctor was killed (it was only his clone that was killed.)
New/Recent stuff:
- Aaron concluded that if he proves that the compass is not with Sid, then Cain will know that Sid actually did betray him, that's why Aaron basically said to Sid "Where's the valuable compass that Cain specifically gave to you bitch?".
- Sid got caught now.
That's basically it.
BONUS SPOILER
Jinyeong, MC'S best friend, highly resembles the dead previous lover of Aaron the Demon Doctor. Jinyeong is highly likely the reincarnation of Aaron's former lover. Aaron's previous lover was also his door and maybe that's also the reason why he is stuck in our world. So Jinyeong x Aaron is endgame, they were always meant to be since 500 years ago.

What is this comment section? The author finally has an idea of what she is doing. It's ogawa we are talking about. I know something unexpected is going to happen. It's not being repetitive , it only feels like it because we waited so long and now we expect the change to happen suddenly but it won't. Adding new characters helps our main characters to come to a realisation plus they can learn from them. Without the other pairs it would be kinda lonely. Caste heaven is a complex manga with characters with different mental issues . If you are expecting some kind of sudden fluff and real love between Azusa and Karino you won't get it. At least not for now. I love this manga very much and i especially love how the characters are developing step by step.
