Imo it's not as messy as people are making it seem. Like, ok the conflict can be talked about or whatever but that's realism we're reading a MANWHA. Also, they're addressing all the little stuff the author has planted a dozen chapters ago. Just because it doesn't address the conflict in 5 chapters doesn't mean it sucks. They're both emotionally constipated characters so of course they're going to go around back and forth with each other a few times. It's not filler it's world building. Y'all could use a reread and better patience bc you'll have a stroke reading actual text based only literature if you keep that kind of mindset up.
