Ms. Manhwa - You're not just whiny but also pretty childish. You say your piece and block me from responding. In any case since I typed this up I'm going to put it here - Your arguments are weak and delusional. I've never read an author note where the author said they completed the story in exactly the number of chapters they planned. Every single one of them talk about how they ended up writing way more chapters than they originally planned and some even twice as many chapters. Increase in chapters doesn't indicate a change in direction. I don't know about the merch wars. Twitter wars are very common particularly for triangles. Again that doesn't prove anything about a change in direction. The best you can say is that you don't agree with the mangaka's ending and that's perfectly fine. If everyone liked the same thing we would only have 1 type of story ever. I read this manga when it was ongoing and from the beginning I thought all indications pointed to Taekyung being a means to character growth for all 3 mc and for bringing the Haesoo and Juwon together. There was no way this was going to end any other way when it was made clear over and over that Haesoo loves Juwon and keeps thinking about him even when he is with Taekyung. In life you would compromise because it is too hard to have a relationship your parents and society won't accept but you'd be hard pressed to find a fiction of any genre that ends that way. No writer will end a story as a happily ever after with a mc compromising and being with the person he doesn't love.
