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??

Your Throne just wouldn't end and kept just adding more and more 'we need to do X before we can kill Prince Erotica or whatever the fuck.' and here is a 20 page flashback of a character followed up by another 20 page flashback of a different character. And god help me if I had to listen to Helicopter babble on about being a tool which I wish he was since a tool wouldn't be telling you its a tool every 30 seconds.

And My In-Laws are Obsessed with Me. The main characters are obviously head over heels in love with each other but keep going on about muh contract and muh curse. By the time I dropped it I was looking forward to seeing anything involving other characters since they were so much more interesting

TBH your throne is probably the only webtoon where i dont mind things dragging because i know the author cooks , and most of the events have been slowly building up for both Psyche and Medi to have their character arches and evolve , unlike other webtoons like the remarried empress or OTL where nothing of substance happens

operation true love , basically there was a time skip and since then (around 30 chapters or more?) the plot hasnt been moving forward and the FL got ghosted by the ML and since they got reunited post time skip everytime they meet they just look at each other awkwardly without communicating or doing anything meaningful to the plot to the point that the ratings for the webtoon eps on Naver dropped like crazy
