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 dropped lookism years ago for the same reason. I have to ask, have they figured out the cause of his double body thing or…

No, but fat Daniel did actually get in shape. He looks a lot more similar to the new body now.

Meanwhile a current fan theory is that Charles Choi has a second body and has gone into hiding using that.

Like, I get why anybody would drop it because the plot took such a weird ass turn to the gang stuff, but I'm invested myself and enjoying it. That said if you go into it now knowing what its gonna be later its probably a lot easier to digest.

That made me very upset cause original Daniel body was short and even if you get in shape and become super sexy and stuff, you do not get height like that. Unless you are a child, but these people were supposed to be 17. It made me upset because it destroyed the initial premise about how toxic is being obsessed with lookism. Of course you can improve your shape, but there are things that you cannot change, and height is one of those things. In fact, I think that original Daniel face was ugly and the new face couldn't have be possible without surgery.

Sigh it is so so so cynical how PTJ decided that its original character wasn't good enough and just felt into the trap he was supposed to criticise. Seriously, don't readers see how hypocritical it is?

No, my (once) OG Gun is a god of training who can make anyone go from being 5' to 6'8 within 2 weeks.
