I liked the story for what it is, despite being a bit messy, since I’m a sucker for childhood friends (?) to unrequited love to mutual love. Classic idiot who has no idea that his best friend who comforts him through heartbreaks, has feelings for him.
The pacing seems fine to me, unlike similar stories where they drag on the plot and have lots of smut… iykyk. But then again, the set up is a lot simpler in comparison of folklore, so snail power!
I didn’t like the way they glossed over Weon getting his memories back. Then again, it wasn’t a dramatic rescue scene, but I feel like it was overshadowed by the proposal. And the realization that Toran was always there for him felt very understated. We also don’t know how they ended up separating, but probably Toran decided he needed to leave in order to repay Weon and used mind fog / snail power.
The ending is very open tho, because we don’t know what happened after they got married (and were robbed of wedding pics! (╥﹏╥ ). So it looks like Toran did choose to become human, but had a child before that? Was it more of his “most promising snail” powers? Haha. Also, it seems like he’s able to serve humans now.
Is their son a halfling? He looks older than expected to be telling stories to, but also snails only take about a year to become an adult, soooo I blame the unreliable narrator that we don’t have side stories and the focus is on the main couple.
Still would’ve liked to see the magpie x boss’s development. And what happened to the other side characters? Sunbae who? What about Weon’s human friends? I would’ve liked to see them meeting Toran and eating at his restaurant. But then again, they would meet their son and I’m not sure how that would go.
Also, it’s a crime that their second greatest adversary went poof and we never get to see his child/liver storage (╯°Д °)╯╧╧
Lastly, I’m a bit sad that Weon never got around to getting a snail stamp. Since they took the time to talk about animal stamps, it would’ve been on the cherry on top for me, but it’s just a weird random detail that I expected too much out of haha
