Sorry, forgot to leave a spoiler tag. MAJOR SPOILERS HERE
and yes, I am aware that the ending is basically that Howoo will learn to live beside Yool. However, it's really not by his choice and feels more as if he will just passively like him. It doesn't feel very passionate if that makes sense?
The only way this could be saved is with at least another ten chapters, hopefully side stories will come out. It's not that the ending itself is bad, but the execution was pretty awful. First of all, it's very rushed. We legit went from Howoo hating on him -> Saving Yool -> Yool saying they'll never be in a mutually loving relationship. Feels like they just packed 20 novel chapters into one manhwa chapter. Which I haven't read the novel, but I wouldn't be shocked if that's what happened here.
Secondly, while the ending could be considered realistic, it feels very dissatisfactory. The author wanted to portray a toxic love to its core, but it sucks that there isn't really anything that makes me feel like we were geared towards this specific ending in mind. Like the ending feels very lifeless, and there wasn't anything I feel like that lead up to this.
It's one thing to see Yool unhappy, but it's another that we also see Howoo basically suffer for the rest of his life. Idk, just who is this ending made for?
