I was reading the novel too and stopped at ch 900 something because the plotime got old it was always following the same pattern because when one enemy was defeated another one showed up. The Novel is good but it is stretching out for reads and gets boring after some time.
Now that you mention it, I also agree on you on that. That’s probably why I stopped too, or maybe one of the reasons. Haha! You’re still patient to read until 900. I think I read until 400+. I’d say the plot is really good, not the damsel in distress but a fighter female lead. But like you said, it’s like they are dragging the story so it kind of becomes predictable.
I’ve been wondering why the plot seems sooo familiar. I remembered now, I’ve read the novel too. But I can’t remember why I stopped reading the novel. But this is really good!!! Like hella good. A strong female lead and a very dependable husband who supports her behind the scenes.
