I noticed in the comments that some readers are constantly complaining that there is no plot progression... and at first I was a bit confused but tried to understand since Haesoo and Taeha's relationship tends to be push and pull then stalls due to lack of communication. But even with that, the plot is still moving along and then I realized something... Folks who are complaining think that Mincheol is still a main character and that the confrontation between him and Haesoo IS THE PLOT? My goodness... People forget that Miss Na Haesoo told the Ginger Garbage Can to never appear before her again or she would call the cops then moved on. She hasn't even thought of him and he is a non-factor in her life now. She doesn't want him and the only ones obsessing over their past are delusional readers, Mincheol, and Taeha. Like... what are we doing??!! Haesoo just moved into a nice apartment after living in the moldy ass apartments in the SLUMS her whole life. Not to mention, she was able to defend herself while staying mentally stable after almost getting sex trafficked AND now full on confronted Taeha's brother without backing down. She is also a full on target for every Beom in Seoul and yall are worried about that raggedy, cheating, lying, stealing redhead. There are bigger fish to fry... Plus Taeha went from being a stalker to being stalked while trying to handle keeping Haesoo safe while on the other side of the world. And you say "No pLoT ProgREsSion..." Just say you have no reading comprehension and go.
I don't think this story has a pacing problem because it's a slow burn. I think it has a pacing problem because it's slow burn increasingly feels circular rather than cumulative. My biggest criticisms would be that character development doesn't always stick. the story spends a lot of time creating tension without resolving it. too many obstacles serve the same narrative function. Tae-ha's character can feel strangely stagnant despite being one of the more interesting characters. the payoff to build ratio is becoming problematic because issues never get resolved. the story sometimes mistakes emotional intensely for progression. The premise and characters are stronger than the current pacing allows them to be and I think that's what most readers have an issue with. But the story needs to start converting its build up into irreversible character changes So that true progression can take place. Ultimately I think everybody is just tired of the progress setback progress setback ongoing theme. Not necessarily that there's absolutely no progression at all.
Frr!! Why can't they just drop this story if they can't handle the progress of the story, they're just mad bcz the story won't follow the plot they wanted
This is a part of the lesson Remiel's father wanted him to learn. His blessings caused the children he loved so much pain because he didn't understand the gravity of his actions and the humans he is trying to save. I bet those slaps will make him reconsider being cavalier and cruel the next time.
