I can't stand stories where the entire plot hinges on one character. And in this case, it’s her. Not surprising, considering the webtoon is literally named after her. But the way 'everything' has to tie back to the lead? It’s overkill.
The male leads, 2nd ml, villains, her friends, male lead’s friends, her family, male lead’s family, her secretary, male lead’s secretary no one can stop yapping about her. Every one of them is like a walking, talking Serena fan club. It’s like none of these people exist outside of their connection to her. They have no real inner world, no independent motivations, no depth beyond serving as mouthpieces for the author's admiration of their golden goose.
What’s sad is that she actually rocks, and the male lead does too. But all of this is spoiled by the fact that the writer-nim took "tell, not show" to an extreme level.
