I can't believe I'll say this, since usually I'm a sucker for the genre... But I really dislike the fantasy element in this story They really didn't need the whole darkness thing at all Magnus and Illiana could've had this conversation halfway through the story The 2nd couple could've been introduced long ago (they're actually so cute) All those 60+ chapters of the weird "is it romance or just emotional manipulation" could've been cut short, bc they left a bad taste and at least to me, it didn't feel like they made significant progress at all in their relationship This part right now, at chapter 93, feels like it should've happened in the middle of the plot (around chapter 50) Then we'd get like more 50 chapters of them actually developing their relationship I genuinely did not give a single shit about who Illiana was previously, her mother background, the story of the village and anything related to magic and dreams Also it takes a lot away from a character development to slap a big excuse of "he was being manipulated by the big evil entity the whole time" I honestly would've liked more if Magnus was genuinely a fucked up traumatized person who didn't know how to deal with his mixed feelings for Illiana Idk what's next or if there's more story after this "arch", but if this is the ending... It will very meh

Magnus and Illiana could've had this conversation halfway through the story
The 2nd couple could've been introduced long ago (they're actually so cute)
All those 60+ chapters of the weird "is it romance or just emotional manipulation" could've been cut short, bc they left a bad taste and at least to me, it didn't feel like they made significant progress at all in their relationship
This part right now, at chapter 93, feels like it should've happened in the middle of the plot (around chapter 50)
Then we'd get like more 50 chapters of them actually developing their relationship
I genuinely did not give a single shit about who Illiana was previously, her mother background, the story of the village and anything related to magic and dreams
Also it takes a lot away from a character development to slap a big excuse of "he was being manipulated by the big evil entity the whole time"
I honestly would've liked more if Magnus was genuinely a fucked up traumatized person who didn't know how to deal with his mixed feelings for Illiana
Idk what's next or if there's more story after this "arch", but if this is the ending...
