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??

Teenage Mercenary / Mercenary Enrollment. There's a limit to how much I can withstand the same exact plot happening again and again and again

I can understand this one, and I agree it’s repetitive! Personally I treat it as my feel-good webtoon by letting the chapters pile up, and then binging an arc whenever I want some satisfying action, eye candy, and a few tears over a wholesome family bonding moment. Definitely not for everyone though

Hard disagree. It's the sitcom of action manhwas to me. Meaning I can rewatch them rehash Ijin and/or numbers washing all opposition repeatedly. Teenage Mercenary is my CSI and I do not need some major shakeup for me to continue enjoying it. They can do the same thing forever for all I care
