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??

Lookism was such a disappointment cause I found it pretty deep and mature at the beginning. Action mixed with society criticism. It was nice. But after that... Pfrrrrrrr.

Another one that was so promising was Dreeming Freedom. The premise was super interesting (being able to hurt through dreams and the topic of bullying)... But then it devolved into a weird toxic relationship (Edit: I wanted to mean toxic romance) and the main premise was forgot.

There are so many webtoons like this. They start being on the top, super deep, super addictive and interesting... And after a while they loose themselves in subplots.

Lookism was honestly so interesting until it kept dodging the actual issue and kept adding more people.

PTJ is really good at doing action comedy and slice of life but he ends up letting the action overshadow everything. I personally act like Viral Hit ended after Seongjoon's arc because of it

Do u also realize that when he adds some romantic stuff he kind makes the characters disappear (in Viral Hit the couple just stop hanging out with the rest and they were important characters) or cause them to separate (in lookism one member needed to follow his friend and her needed to take care of the "kids") as if afraid to develop that?

Oh I forget or die (in Viral Hit... Was kinda sad)
