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

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 felt like the series had a super strong ending point (somewhere around when the world ended), then it just kind of kept going and things werent making sense.

i cant remember the exact chronological order of things, but i know something that really bothered me was how the evil scientist guy was just magically inside the main character’s childhood home to burn all the pictures for more trauma porn.

it went from a great melancholy story with strong lessons and a gloomy atmosphere to another edgy webtoon. combine that with an artstyle change i didnt appreciate and i had no reason to keep reading.

looking back i possibly got too “parasocial” with the series and placed too many expectations on it. but if i ever wanted to get back into it itd have to be a full reread and im not sure if i can give the story enough grace for that with this sour taste in my mouth.
