Tbh, you will for sure find the chasing arc boring af, cuz it's too long, but that's y I like it, rather then rush it they build mc's character development, and novel is also better detailed, and mc's reactions and reasons make more sense there too, he is a damn victim since childhood. But my favorite arc is mc's saviour, he was so perfect i wished he was the ml! U should read the novel if you want, but it'll feel boring for most ig.
Dude ive been reading the novel for the past 2 days from chapter 100 and ive gotta say im now at chapter 186 (( ̄∇ ̄") (ノ≧∇≦)ノ
Im loving it
Ive been really immersed, even tho sometimes there are fillers it was really good. The hardest parts to read where thw 5-6 chapters where Shin haesang ( nsa ) was plotting and there were a bit of inconsistencies with the main characters behaviours but honestly i really liked everything
There is no comparison with the manga, im happy i stopped where i did and switched
Exactly it was just right!
Usually misunderstandings work like this
->they dont talk and misunderstand -> they talk but misunderstand more -> keep misunderstanding more by talking
Here instead when they actually talked they resolved things neatly
Im so thankful for all the sidecharacters that helped the ML understand what he did wrong
Had they reunited any earlier there would have been no actual change to their dynamic

Brotha-tell me they didn't just skipped my favorite arc and character out!?!??! Noooooo my love!!! They needed to show his story too!!! He was my love!!!! Only bcuz of him is Mc free n still alive!!!
