"If the story had stayed centered on Brett’s emotional avoidance and Hayden’s insecurities"
I feel like Season 3 did do that? I get that you didn't like the season but if you ignore the friend's subplot that lasted for like 3 chapters then the entire season was Brett and Hayden
Maybe I didn’t express it properly. Even though 90% of the season was indeed about Brett and Hayden I still think their development could’ve been stronger if the story had taken more time, it felt like we missed out on a more gradual progression between them. If the author was only planning around 20 chapters, I would’ve preferred more focus on Brett and Hayden instead of side characters that didn’t add much to the story.
Oh and sorry if the main topic seemed lazy, I didn’t expect anyone to reply tbh
The season did seem a bit short to me as well tbh but I checked and it's around the same length as season 2 (and season 1 if you remove the first 6 chapters that was originally a short story before the author decided to make it longer) and while I don't really care about the side characters' subplot the work would be incomplete without a resolution to that lol
Anyway who knows, maybe there'll be side stories to look forward to
The truth is, I love Brett wayyyy too much, and I was really only invested in him and Hayden’s development as a couple. I honestly hate how rushed their love story felt, I used to love this manhwa so much TT
I’m glad I let season 3 marinate, because waiting week to week for chapters that are mostly dogshit probably would’ve made me drop it.
I just wish the author had focused more on Brett and Hayden. There are so many characters who seem important to the plot, but I’m still trying to figure out how they actually fit in, you know?
I do think the author is great at writing complex characters (only Brett and Hayden tho) but not as strong with plot. If the story had stayed centered on Brett’s emotional avoidance and Hayden’s insecurities (like in seasons 1 & 2), it would’ve been a 10/10.
Anyways, not even a shitty plot can make me hate a story that has Brett. I love him, he’s exactly who he thinks he is. I love you Brett, you are the best bottom EVER <33
