The story hasn't been dragging for too long, it just that the waiting for the next chapter what made ppl lose interest. Ntm the story is heavy with a lot of complicated names/organization/and relationship btwn characters so the time between one chapter and the next already make it hard for ppl to keep tuning in. They already forgot who's who. Imo the pace of the story is still great, i mean it's a slow pace since the beginning

I’m sure there are pretty of you that have been following this manga for years like I do. Putting it down for months or even a year and come back to check if there’s any progress. I also agreed with those who said they lost passion cause the story has been dragging too long but I just can’t give up on them. They are one of those characters that I’m willing to come back after months just to wait for a happy ending for them. At least that’s what I believed in the author
