Honestly, no matter how dragged out the angst was, they still shouldn't have deviated from the novel in an attempt to "shorten" it, they missed a ton of vital characters and plotlines that would've made this situation make a lot more sense. It feels rushed. Besides, it's still gonna have angst either way, so at least make the angst better. The novel may have been irritating, but it was true angst. This is just making that well-written angst plotline so watered down to the point it's almost unrecognizable. Besides, by cutting out those parts, they'll struggle even more later on in the side stories and ending.
I will always hate it when stories deviate from the author's original work, feels like a straight up insult to them. （￣へ￣）
