I'm not against open ended stories, in fact, I have a weird love towards those. However, this story opened a lot of doors just to leave them all... Well... Open. Not one door was closed. Xiao never seemed to get over his love trauma, Mr. Mo didnt seem to achieve even one sliver of happiness in this story, and the implied side couples never became together especially xiao's bestfriend with director Tao. It's like reading a discontinued story. This is how unsatisfying it is. So many potential just to throw it all in the garbage for an "ambiguous ending". Cutting off the story at the climax was the worst move. Tsk tsk.
