Tbh Wetsand is a good story, not a masterpiece, but a decent story and it's always brought down by the love triangle (if you even want call it that). Wetsand still follows the basic formula but what I like is that the MC shows the realistic struggles of being abused and condition for years. Afraid to move on because they themselves are self destructive hence the struggle to get out of the repetitive cycle which most of yall don't seem to understand. It's amazing how the author shows that and even uses color theories and subtle objects to tell their story. It a nice storytelling if you don't only play attention to the love triangle. But I will say the problem is indeed the author trying being unpredictable who endgame is when it's a bit obvious especially near the end of S2. She's trying bring yall in with the "2nd" lead to misguide readers and it's working look how the two recent chapters brought back many casual and non readers because they think something actually happen when its still the same regarding their relationship. To me the love triangle isn't badly written, it's perfectly cliche in the sense of a broken character. The point is to show how repetitive some things are and why it happens. Because if you notice only one relationship is repetitive while the other isn't. That's the whole point and it just goes over most people's head because it's not a surface level reading, context matters and most just read the chapter instead of readering the story ( if that makes sense). Edit: to make this clearer. Most read the chapter but forgot the rest of the previous chapters hence me saying most only read a chapter but not the story. Does that make more sense?
