An occuring issue in manhwa these days is to make romance the main genre. This would be typically fine if the manhwa's plot is mainly focused on that aspect. However for a lot of isekai and time travel stories, this DOESN'T work.

With WMMAP and AIWTRO, the romance is a SUB genre, not the main. In the novel for AIWTRO, romance wasn't even a genre. The manhwa writers for some odd reason, seem to not understand the difference between MAIN and SUB. AIWTRO's main genre was basically revenge: the MAIN story was about Keira learning from her past mistakes to become a better person and dealing with Cosette.

I wouldn't have a problem if the manhwa author wanted to include romance as a subgenre since not only does that have a higher demand but it's what attracts most readers. My issue is that the manhwa artist has gone ahead, and basically rewrote the novel to become romance heavy when originally.. it had little to none of those elements. Keira's strong resolve, her relationships and improvements have all been stripped so she could become some shy school girl experiencing a silly love triangle while her HOMELAND is being threatened by a LITERAL devil. Everytime Cosette is brought up, one of the male leads to brought up afterwards and it's infuriating.

By far.. the most interesting factor of this storyline was Cosette. Her origins and goals have been the main plotline of this whole story.. yet she gets handled to the side like a pathetic side plot. Joseph's character has nothing built to him except for the fact that he's devoted to Keira.. no personality or goal. Erez.. most his character is mysterious which is intriguing but not for a male lead who is someone we should be able to trust, especially after 70+ chapters. Keira doesn't seem to even understand relationships, she only seems to like the IDEA of one due to all the stories she's been reading. Her novel counterpart was someone independent with pride yet that doesn't seem to exist here.

In all honesty, I'm not surprised that Jaeha committed suicide at the end of the original timeline. Not only was he part of the reason that his friends/teammates got trapped and killed in that tomb (even if it was unintentional), but any chance of at least one of them actually escaping was destroyed when he lost his temper and didn't repair their relics. It's sad but if I was put into that situation......I would've done the same thing
