Apparently originally it was supposed to be 45 chapters so it got cut off which is why we have this slop. I enjoyed it too and seeing apparently there's a rape scene is out of character for the ML. Companies have creative restrictions on many authors.
I went and read the raws and authors note and the story basically got axed. 15 chapters got cut and they had to wind up their planned story in like 5, so we got this instead
Bruh that sucksss. Still they could've just end it by the characters talking it out and the ml leaving the gang no? Ruining the whole story instead of making it a sweet short one just seems stupid to me
thats devastating, did it say why it got axed?
No, just said "during production". Probably means it didn't get the sales to make it worth it.
The first 19 chapters were commendable—funny, cute, and well-paced. But after that, the story went completely rogue and turned into a total disaster. How do you go from a lighthearted start to randomly forcing in three antagonists and a sexual assault scene?
It feels like the author took an interesting premise and made it overwhelmingly mid just for the sake of drama. At this point, it’s not even about the plot anymore; it’s just being unnecessarily cruel to the characters and triggering the entire fanbase for no reason. This isn't "edgy" writing—it’s pure self-sabotage by the author-nim.
