I still really love the story and will read until the end, BUT... I have to admit that you're right. It's been 53 chapters but there hasn't been much development on any front, be it Haesoo's (we're getting there but she still has to work on her confidence and happiness without becoming dependant on another man), Mincheol's karma (WHEN IS IT COMINGGG) or the romantic relationship (there are still too many secrets on Taeha's part to feel completely sincere, although it's obvious he does love her, or at least is obsessed with her). There's still SO much stuff that needs to be addressed so I'd say we're not even half way done with the story yet... I wish the plot was moving faster than it is now, especially since I'm buying each chapter in the raws every week hoping to see some actual development (apart from the smut) and am left a tiny bit disappointed everytime there isn't any
yall gonna hate me for this but this is... literally just ass now. haesoo should not be fucking around with that fuckass manipulative bitch but should be working on herself. author literally gave her two panels worth of character development where she bought new clothes for herself and called it a day. girlie literally got out of a long ass toxic rs and you're throwing her into another objectively unhealthy one how the fuck am i supposed to root for them when haesoo is genuinely boring as fuck and ik nothing about the male lead except that he's obsessed and rich and probably has a typical sob story backing him up. ik this is a smut i shouldn't be expecting much but even the smut is boring as fuck. ik yall gonna say oh the author just hasnt properly started delving into the story yet well its been more than 50 fucking chapters man. how is it that i know more about jay than the literal male lead. anyway I'll be holding out in case the author miraculously decides to add more depth to the characters & story but i dont have high hopes.
