I am with you. Someone actually argued with me on tiktok saying that we have chapters of smut scenes and what more could I ask?
Like.. these people are such horndogs they fight and argue with people who wants real progression. I was once on Haesoo’s shoes, very broken, manipulated, used, and abandoned. My ex was exactly like Mincheol up until I believed that I am so ugly that no one else would love me. When I found a story that I could finally relate to, I was hecking excited but I am really, really disappointed to see how this story went. It’s so slow. I bet I’ll have my own family before this finishes.
I want to reply here without any hostility. It is rare for us to find an adult female lead that is not strong, not rich, uneducated, and not reincarnated into a fantasy novel. This is the real effects of cheating - it destroys you, you lose your self-worth, you lose yourself.
For the first time, it shows real effects of cheating on a woman who gave their everything. Everyone wants realistic novels, but complains when they are finally given one. I’ve had enough of “she’s an adult! She should know better!! She’s acting like a 30 year old kid!!”. It’s sooooo easy to say that we should move on from a 10 year relationship, but it is hard to do so when you’re actually in one.
Some may say “But I was cheated on too! I didn’t act like that?!?” Well congrats. I was like Haesoo in reality. I lost myself to the point I had to give up my education because of how manipulated I was so one could only imagine how excited I was to find a story I could relate to. A female character that doesn’t “use” a rich chaebol to get revenge on her ex husband

People were mad when I said this story was going slow af when it was at 60 chapters and now it’s going even slower at nearly 100 chapters lmao. The plot is barely progressing, characters have no depth and the story itself is becoming bland and repetitive. Maybe I’ll just wait for the story to finish to come back to it at this point because each week when I read a new chapter I just end up being disappointed.
