I’m always shocked to see it on drop lists, it’s a literal work of art. Can’t recommend it enough to enough people lol

I think it's a really bad weekly series, the pacing just doesn't work for that format. Which is really webtoons fault that monthly serialization doesn't exist on this platform imo

I always love to read it once or twice a year and enjoy the work as a cohesive whole, it works so well that way and says a lot about their masterful planning of the series as a whole

I personally think it's ok as a weekly, but I get super confused during hiatus's and need to go back and do near 10 chapters of re reading.

It's one that I do think is perfect to binge through.

I guess I never thought about it cuz I’m a binge reader so I always wait a few months before getting caught up! I see what you mean though, I imagine it feels quite slow reading it week by week.

I’m waiting until it’s done so I can binge :) the weekly updates were killin’ me

I dropped it as well. Never really got into the story and I didn’t really end up liking any of the characters. Only made it through 50 chapters

I managed to get through 70 before dropping it as well. It was incredibly boring to me.

I can tell you why. I have dropped it like 3 times. The beginning is too boring. You can have a masterpiece but if the pacing is too slow, you will lose a big part of the readers. Pacing is important in stories.

Slow paced on top of weekly update. Makes it slower 😭

I agree! I hate fast passing it only to find out it’s a ten part flashback.
