im at chapter 18 and im finding this a hard read, should i continue

Yesssssssss

Depend why it's hard for you. If you're looking for a story where they're cute and in love, I'd advise to turn around.

I stopped the first time and came back. I look forward to it now but the beginning was definitely rough

honestly its super long and tiring...even now im up to date and it still feels heavy so read it in parts
