Finally someone who’s thinking the same thing I love it the most when there’s stories only focusing on one couple
It’s so rare when it comes to wholesome stories. It’s only the case for the toxic ones .
To me it's the opposite. I felt like it was a lot more for the main couple and lacked some more for the sides.
Fr, I really like the main couple but it seem like the author is focusing more in the second couple. And I'm more invested in the main couple but it's just keep switching sides like c'mon. They're the main right? They should've more scene than the second couple.
Obviously they're the side not the main
The main couple usually pulls people into the story so it feels weird when suddenly another couple is getting as much focus. The switching back and forth constantly was more irritating than if the author just gave the second couple a season.
I fell bad for disliking the comment accidentally when I supposed to like ittt ahhhhhhh
I can't even change it I hate this features
I don't mind the changing because I'm usually interested in both, but i only get crumbs because the author can't decide how much of the second couple to add in in between. I liked the way they added the second couple (at least for the dare kiss part), but the following events could have been done in a second season, it'd probably have been best
But tbh i believe this author did it very well the way it is. It must be hard to have a balance in a story specially when the fans opinions differ
Star x Fanboy and The Best Smell both focus on one couple. I need more with only one couple as the focus I HATE side couples bc the whole point of the story & plot that I was reading for was for the main couple in the first place! That being said, I liked the side couple in this story, which is EXTREMELY rare for me.
I like the second couple too or at least I like them a lot as characters since I skipped a lot of their romance. I just don’t like how they were incorporated. Felt like the reader were served 4 main characters instead of the 2 they came for. I have many stories where I love the second couple as much or even more than the main one like Rivalry and Love So Pure. I have some stories where I’m not interested in the second couple or where I really dislike their dynamics and I appreciate that the other either make them some small interlude or wait to give them a whole season or the side stories
Yes that’s what it felt like! 4 mcs rather than the main couple. I felt like they should’ve hinted at the side couples relationship cuz I didn’t mind their bickering and stuff but they just had way too much screen time to my liking. Author coulda just put them in the side story where the side couples usually goes. But I love it the most when there’s only 1 couple to focus on the story. I sometimes feel like maybe the author can’t put out a good story with just one couple
I mean usually the pattern is to give a love story to the second ML. It feels right because readers feel bad for the one not ending up with the MC and want to see them happy too. But at some point it feels like a secondary couple became the norm even without a love triangle. In those stories, I think some authors can keep the readers interest with just one couple but they use the second couple to make the story longer. I’ve noticed that it’s usually when something big happens with the first couple or we get real progress that authors suddenly introduce a second couple and focus on them for a few chapters. It feels like some delay tactics. Otherwise I’m thinking the author has the other couple they’d like to showcase but they can’t give them their own story so they insert them in another’s couple story. Sometimes the readers love the second couple but in many cases I see comments about waiting for the author to return to the main couple and skipping the chapters.
second couples don't usually work out well without a proper season
There’s over a 100 chapters but I didn’t get enough of the main couple. And focusing on two couples is too distracting. Well sometimes it’s okay when the author clearly separates the storylines in seasons but here…The pacing feels choppy. At some point you couldn’t even read an entire chapter focusing on one couple. It kept switching back and forth endlessly. Also it feels like almost 50% of the whole story is about Kyungbin and Mirye. I ended up skipping their parts to read about Yugun and Ian uninterrupted. One day I may reread the whole thing focusing on Kyungbin and Mirye because they are also interesting on their own it’s just distracting to keep starting with one couple and switching to the next when things get interesting. It would have been better to make them just older brother/sunbae watching over the younger guys with a funny dynamic and hint at something more to be explored on its own in later chapters. It’s just really strange to keep finding stories that can’t focus on the main couple on the cover and summary. Are there any lists for stories that just focus on one couple. I’m realizing it’s increasingly rare for webtoons. Is there a reason for it? Are the authors thinking their second couple won’t get any interest as a standalone story? Why don’t we get covers with 4 people to show what the webtoon is really about and that they are 4 main characters. The genre could be called double date or something.
