Agree
i don't honestly see the problem with that? on the contrary, i love it. development of other characters and subplots would give the story reason to last way longer and also add a certain richness to it. as long as the main storyline doesn't get overshadowed, there really isn't much of an issue tbh.
Like I said, I wouldn't see a problem with side couple too as long as the main story and characters had their development.
The main characteristic of this story is that the chapters are really, really short and there are already other side characters, a lot of them that are floating and would be part of the plot ... Inhun, the father, etc. While the hobo assassin purpose is so clearly 99% fan service only. We can detect that by the way he was introduced in the page where the whole chapter was Tarzan shirtless and there was absolutely nothing there but the 'they're going to fuck' filler. There is not exactly a richness when a story with such short chapters, and in what the main couple is such a slow burn, there are so many side characters and unless the author pauses the main couple development to give background and some logic to the ship except Tarzan is hot so add smut here, it doesn't make sense why they would be hooking up compared to a long ass path between NK and SG and suddenly a side couple eats up precious space.
Anyway, just a pet peeve of mine when chapters with short chapters, long ass development for main characters, then about 4 or 5 side characters that could be way more interesting to delve on besides the smut gets paused only for the sake of fanservice.. and I'm sorry, that is the only, only purpose of Tarzan here. Plus, the other problem of introducing another 'alpha' is exactly because the main lead is not a likable character so readers just latch on fanservice 'alternative' and the more they want the smut, the more the author will want to please and that's how so many stories end up with plots going side ways because the author miscalculates the limelight on some side character.
My point only. I really can't stand the Tarzan just because I see him as filler character that, exactly because he didn't have 60 chapters for development nor can have it, can only stand on the fanservice allure of it and the leftover that is readers who dislike the main bad guy and need something to cling on.
I try but I simply couldn't care less for the Jihwa x Tarzan. Just the thought that the story will detour to a couple who is clearly only for fanservice just deflates me.
Don't get me wrong, I don't mind side couples .... as long as the main couple and the plot moves first and then what is leftover of the short chapters can have more pointless fanservice (because no name has nothing as a character but being buff and in order to have it, the author would have to build it what means yet another detour)
Can Tarzan just kidnap Jihwa instead and they both fuck off to a shack somewhere?
Just fuck off! Bring in Inhun and the father plot because these have been built.
Now we will probably get tons of whiny Jihwa being fucked by Tarzan.
Heh.
