Damn, I don’t know if I am able to rread WS with all the chapters TJ did horrible things to Ian and knowing he never fucking apologized!
Like she put Ian at the lowest point, like where’s the self-respect and self-worth for Ian’s character that she thinks it’s unnecessary to have a redemption and reconciliation arc? It’s not even about the EG but the conclusions of the character’s arc for her MC. Tj and Jo have better character conclusions than Ian.
So Ian healed himself to embrace his past but still lacks self-worth as if he’s okay that Tj never apologized or can’t say I love you back to him. It feels like it’s him choosing this life with Tj because this is what he thinks he deserves.
And we all know he’s just too afraid to ruin Jo the love that he thinks he never deserves.
The once-in-a-lifetime opportunity that he chose to close forever and became eternal memories.
And with all the domesticity with TjIan, it’s still a trauma bond 2.0 with just different settings lol
Exactly. I'm never touching this story again nor am I going read her other stories. I'm so glad I only spent points on the official, but she really wasted my fucking time ☠
The worst part of this chapter is that we never get Ian’s inner monologue. After a 2-year timeskip, we still don’t have answers to the “why” and “how” we only see the “what” that happened in the end. It feels like she just leaves everything open and lets readers come up with their own conclusions lol.
Oh my beloved Jo <3 My beloved Orion. He only deserves the best. And I’m sorry and hurt for Ian fans who wanted the best for him as well.
The real intellectual readers all collectively agree, understand, and know that this ending is fucking bs. She sabotaged and insulted her own work, and failed to keep up with her own narrative. Or maybe, just like Tj glazers who don’t see that this ending is bs and unsatisfying for their TjIan endgame, she used the fact that Tj is Ian’s first love to conveniently and shallowly rush the ending for TjIan.
Doyak really thinks we’re too dumb to notice how the established logic, character motivations, and plot points she wrote herself contradict her ending of Wet Sand. How some of the shit that happened in the gang war had missing conclusions and aftermath. How Jo carried more meaningful emotional weight for Ian than Tj ever did. How Ian’s journey arc was a major part of his character development, yet was dismissed. How Tj never had a proper redemption arc, and that was also dismissed. How Tj and Ian's relationship didn't have development at all. We see it all. We notice it all. None of it adds up to this bs ending.
I never want to see a side story or sequel for Jo written by Doyak. Ever. I’m actually glad she doesn’t plan to make any. Let’s not make this series any worse than it already is. Oh wait, Wet Sand is already at its absolute fucking worst.
