It feels like this has been dragging long for a bit and not because I am bored, I do find the world building very interesting, but while so many things are going on, it’s mostly been just no real progress—like they’re stuck in a way just looking for answers but just getting breadcrumbs, and things aren’t really making sense. As if we’re just being dragged around in circles with them.
The sudden attraction between Hana and Keishin did bother me a lot, and now the relationship between them just seems always stuck in longing for someone you can’t have.
I know with just 100 pages left, these are all bound to change very soon but for so many pages before this, this is how it felt like for me. It’s taking me longer to read it.
Edit: Also, none of the side characters also leave a lasting impact, nor are they interesting enough.
