I'm gonna be real I think Tabin really contributed to the story degrading. He literally adds nothing to her family plot or makes any significant progress in his relationship with Sami. Every scene he's pushing his luck, pushing her boundaries, and is literally the same before and after her change.
Everyone else from her past at least respects her decision or gives her space, but he just barrels through like he deserves to win at the end. He SUCKS as a character and a love interest but the author keeps pushing him as someone we should care about or an actual "threat" to her and pyujin's relationship.
This was coupled with the fact that MC, despite being straight forward and steadfast in what she wants, was never straight with him and was just hoping he'd take a hint and just be her friend. So they both knew he's pushing her boundaries, but they're both ignoring it. And then he CONTINUES to push her boundaries after the rejection, so he's still sucks. We know every time we see this bitch on screen it's gonna be the same stalkerish, pushy, internal whinining "but I always loved you" ass scene and it's ANNOYING and adds NOTHING.
He's getting more screen time than the ACTUAL second love interest that ACTUALLY cares about her Chan. We literally have to sit through his shitty ass scenes while Chan continues to get ZERO RESOLVE. He's actually replacing Chan as a main character and THAT SUCKS FUCK THIS GUY.
Yep, the story was a mess before he showed up, but there was nice rhythm to it, now it's just a mess.
I was sure he will be used only to bring Sami and ml together and that's it, but now he is still in every chapter bringing nothing new to the table, like you said he is selfish af, and while he cares about her, he will still disregard her wishes, and will put what he wants in the first place.
I have no clue what the author is thinking tbh, and if by the end he will end up with Sami then I will probably never touch this story ever again, because since he first popped out I couldn't stand him.
I would rather see more of the original trio finding their place in this weird relationship.
Still I hope author will not change their relationship too much, I like Sami with pyojun too much, and I'm 95% sure he will be the endgame, but that's another reason why I think Tabin is basically useless to overall story right now.
Chan on the other hand was almost forgot by the author, and he is actually an interesting character in comparison to tabin.
he's literally that one guy nobody invited he just does the same shit every chapter
Same. Genuinely if she ends up with tabin, that would be the most nonsensical thing the author could do. Cause there's no meaningful and healthy build up of their relationship so it would make no sense. I'd avoid everything they ever wrote again.
icl I think she'll just stay with the ml but the manhwa already isn't that good they don't have almost any chemistry imo and the author is just dragging the love triangle (or square? idfk) for over 90 chapters
They weirdly overlapped those few chapters but I think I got it
Basically:
In the first timeline, there was an post expedition to the ruins a while after the ruins opening, Ethan's death, and her sister's death. This is where MC and ML first meet cause she joins while trying to hide her identity
ML finds out and during their travels to the ruins they fall in love. After entering the ruins, that's where the find Ethan's body and the entity creature. I guess with Ethan becoming part of the ruins, he's able to help envoke God's wish (?) for her to defy fate. Thus she was allowed to make the initial wish of going back in time.
