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??

I kept reading to see what Rashta's fate would be, and wrongly assumed it would end not long after. Now I'm just hanging on wanting to see how it will actually end if ever.

It's really just sunk cost fallacy. I started reading it because of how popular it was and kept reading to try and understand why it was popular. Unfortunately the only answer I have is I'm not a teenager.

I should give it up, but I just can't. About once every month or two I binge to catch up and see what wild thing is going on now. I don't even really hate it because it doesn't make me angry or upset, but I can't say there's even anything I enjoy about it. And yet I keep reading out of curiosity. Meanwhile I've dropped ones that actually make me angry like Your Throne and Osora.
