I needed about 15 more chapters of grovel, remorse, regret, pain, anguish, yearning

Shut tf up I didn't say it's bad. The trope is good, but the author has been wasting it by dragging the story for over 10 chapters now. The pacing is horrible, and it is clear that it's just a cash grab method.
I didn't even bother reading anymore at some point I just waited for chapters to pile up and then binged and skipped unnecessary BS, and ig I'll have to do that over and over until the end of the story. I might even stop reading it and wait for it to be completely done.
Now if you like shit being dragged on good for you. Still, it's dragged on,

damn, they really all suck ass. At this point I would have liked for the MC to die in front of all of them. Then I'd hope they'd regret all their actions and want to die themselves and then almuten just kills them in a horrible horrible way. Do they have no remorse? Kind of looked like the cat guy was feeling bad but he did just r*pe him so idk.
just finished reading all 133 chapters and omg.
SO happy they finally got their happy ending. They are living their best, peaceful lives
Where did you read the rest of the chapters?:0
