it's true you can't just drop it now cos the story was showing signs of romance when hunter chae was first introduced but no one dropped it cos it was too awesome so dropping it now is kinda narrowminded
I actually do get dropping because a disliked subplot or genre is added, but I don't get dropping before witnessing anything significant. At least see through with it before saying you're gonna drop. Have a legit reason about the story to drop, not what you've experienced in the past with other stories.
Exactlyyy!
I dont get why people decide to drop this if there is romance. The story is still very good and I dont think the plot will change with romance in it. Have an open mind about this at least (=・ω・=)
