exactly! taku’s development could’ve been handled in 2/3 of the chapters it actually took. meanwhile, we haven’t even seen haesoo and joowon have a full conversation
That's it. It could have been handled faster.
When it comes to Taku - slow motion
To Joowon - fast forward
Since I have heard that there will also be a time jump/time skip, I am a little disappointed that we as readers are reserved for important moments; we are missing something out. It actually bothers me that LoH is primarily about Taku, how he develops and finds a safe place or an answer; and what about the other two? I don't care about the shipwars. As much as I like LoH and think it's a shame that many readers lack maturity, it bothers me that the author has forgotten who her main character is.
It seems to me that for the author it was more important to turn Taku from a calculating gamer and robot into a person who has real feelings for the first time instead of devoting herself to the development of Haesoo and the elimination of the actual problems... That would be my only major criticism.
So far, LoH has been more about Taku and everything else has been more of a sideline. I'm glad that the relationship between Haesoo and him is finally coming to an end.
