Yeah honestly I totally agree with the third point. And sadly it was this point which kinda ruined the story for me. The fact that just 5 chapters before the ending, the mc is still able to fantasize about his first love WHILE he's doing it with the ml. I know it's he ml who brought it up but still....this shows he isn't into the ml that much yet....and then they totally gloss over that. And the fact that mc actually asked ml to date (all blushing...I know he wasn't that serious but it hinted that he was actually looking forward to it) and then few chapters forward he's shown being ok pretending iljo is doyoon while sex?Just feels out of sync with how he felt conflicted for many days when iljo sorta rejected him? Iljo is weird too for asking that. Well we can say he didn't realise his feelings but bruh that's way too abrupt after that. It was not toxic at all for sure but I cannot really feel or believe the "love" part. Extremely rushed and personally I didn't like it.
Also thanks for summarising the importance points which helped we jump chapters and not waste too much time (coz I get attached after reading lots of chapters n then end up feeling worse with these kinds of endings) (￣∇￣")
so, it's kind of obvious it was rushed right? author probably got told to wrap it up soon, sadly.
- the thing about iljo's past wasn't explored properly
- iljo's issues with his parents also wasn't explored
- when gunha was pretending iljo was doyun, he was obviously really REALLY feeling it. even iljo noticed he's feeling it more than usual. it's a sign that he still wasn't totally over doyun. and the process of getting over doyun completely wasn't portrayed at all
- gunha's resignation was bound to happen but it happened so suddenly, nothing of note led up to his final decision of finally resigning
- iljo and gunha were definitely already catching feelings for each other but it was so obvious how they were forced to realize they love each other so suddenly because the whole ending is rushed
i love the story, the premise, the build up, but unfortunately this was so obviously rushed towards the end and it's leaving me unsatisfied ╥﹏╥ this probably got axed because the author wasn't getting enough support for it... i feel sad now.
