It's not cheap, it is literally how the original myth goes? This is not an original story. Just Google Apollo and Daphne or Apollo and Laurel
I would read the original myth if that’s what I was interested in. I wanted a new rendition. Without looking up this specific story, I just knew it followed the original mythology. They all have this tragic tone. I wanted something new. I wanted to see a god fall for a being they would never fall for. I wanted to see a god experience a feeling they’ve never experience before more organically. Instead, they got shot through by an arrow and it made the entire thing cheap to me. There was nothing to like or enjoy about it. Most of all, I hate the notion of someone not having any control over themselves. If she hated him, it had to be because he’s toyed with her for so long, not because someone shot her with an arrow. As a webtoon I was enjoying, this conclusion is cheap.
I really hope the effects of that arrow doesn’t last long. I am absolutely not a fan of that cheap way of him falling for her because of two gods’ prank. Annoys me to no end. I’ll read the remaining chapters and see if I keep this or not. I was loving the story up until that point
