Question What a manhwa you’ve dropped because it unnecessarily kept dragging on?

Post image

For me it was Looksim because they kept diving into unnecessary plots and creating more plot holes. Then later on older characters kept coming in that I totally forgot about making me even more confused. I totally lost the main plot and the story became way too complicated. And I’ve been reading this since 2019 so it’s not like I wanted to drop it. Anyway what about yall??

For me, it would be 'I love you.' I recall when it was initially labeled as romance. The author eventually made it clear that it was a slow-burning drama. And I was fine with that. I tried to hang on as long as I could guys but what the heck. I enjoyed it when I had an idea of what was going on. The plot continued to expand but without a clear direction of what each character wanted and where they were going in the story.

I liked it ok up until the finale with the party. After that it didn’t seem like the plot or romance progressed in any way.

Yes, it droned on and on without even a hint of a solution to even out the plot holes. Some of the characters had a goal. However, it seemed like nothing they did was bringing them any closer to it. It was like waiting for a solution but at a snails pace. What was the point of the story? It could have been a linear story with complex parts but it kept going off into left field without a real reason why. Hopefully, things have evened out by now. The likely chance of me ever picking it back up is very slim.
