I think its less of any sort of continuation and more of a separate story set in the same universe. I personally didnt find it too fast, i think it matches ghe pace of the story being told.
Its not meant too have a lot of build up, just like Daily Witch. Is more an understanding of the tragedy between two soulmates. Its less about the backsgory and more about the present. The flashbacks are more based on showing you the care and love they had/have for each other. It sounds like youre comparing it to WDTFS but in this manhua they expectation is already there that you understand these two are soulmates with differences that will always tear them apart. Its just the artists' style
Nah I wasn't comparing it to anything in particular. But I guess you're right and it's just not my type of manga.
I really wish I could like this more but the story is pretty hard to follow, almost as if it was a sequel to some other work. I know people have been talking about Daily witch (which I haven't read) but I don't remember Elixir being a follow-up to that ? Or have I missed a disclaimer?
Even putting that aside, everything is happening too fast, the story is jumping from one event to another, we haven't seen the lovestory build up between the two mcs and even the flashbacks fail to explain how they got together and why their relationship left such an impact on both of them.
That's too bad because there are so few yuris out there that attempt to create a coherent plot but...meh.
