Same, I also felt there were parts that could’ve been explored more, like what happened with the gang leader or Doha's exact actions while he was away. But I personally think the author might’ve seen those moments as already implied or emotionally covered in previous chapters, like Doha’s inner struggles and decisions to leave the job.
As for Doha being “borderline sex pest,” I feel like the side stories gave some context, especially when he admitted to Yeonwoo how deeply lonely he’s been for years. It’s more like a reflection of someone who never really learned how to deal with that kind of emptiness in a healthy way. I think the story tried to show that his reliance on sex was part of a bigger emotional issue, and sadly healing from that isn't instant.
While not perfect, I still found the story emotionally grounded in a way that made it feel more realistic.
I stopped reading this early days but I decided to come back and finish it since we're on the side stories and the rating is pretty high. But it was kind of a disappointment. I'm not sure if the author was rushed but they opened up a lot of plot lines and then just vaguely wrapped them up or pretended like it never happened like we're supposed to forget?
We don't actually find out what he was up to while he was gone; we don't know what happens with the gang leader; and we don't actually see the ML develop any personal goals, which is something I feel like the character really needed. Everything felt quite shallow, like a cop out on what could have been a truly interesting story.
And ML is bordering on being a sex pest. How many times does someone have to say enough before your dick gets tired mate.
