Doesn't help that (apparently according to novel readers) a lot of the battles and big plans for the majority of this later part of the story didn't directly involve our mc and so the manhwa just glossed over a lot or skipped it. Probably would have made tensions higher than a brief overview of how they succeeded like in the manhwa
Tbh, I kind of wish at least more parts of their plans had gone wrong. It just feels lacking and eaves more to be desired since from what I remember, I think only 1 or two plans have failed. There needs to be more conflict, more tension
