it's definitely dragging on a little. but i think it might also be because it's kinda hard to convey detailed plots when source of the media was a novel, but the medium is drawn art. you can't condense anything (because details matter in these types of plots) and so you have to be able to thoroughly give hints and info to the readers. since the main point of novel adaptations is to give visual references and convey emotions more complex than the original source, it's inevitable that the plot progresses a bit slower with the panel-to-info ratio. it's a bit annoying but at least it's not nonsensical
I agree and it’s still good, i just wish there could be some progression soon.
Also I don’t know if it’s just me but I find it hard to process the clues we are given with the serialised format. I notice when certain details are emphasised but from chapter to chapter I forget about them completely and mainly focus on the relationship between the mcs.

Is the plot stalling or what? I feel like there has been a standstill for a while now, all the characters are just talking about each other and trying to figure out each other’s secrets but nothing is actually happening.
