Man... What happened?
The first four volumes were legitimately fantastic with great and rather complex characters, but since then it has just been steadily going downhill.
Volume five just felt aimless, six and seven gave me hope, but now that I'm almost at volume 13 it is just tedious to read any more of this.
This must be what it feels to pass the event horizon. You're drifting aimlessly in space, time slowing to a painful crawl as any light and any hope that accompanies it fades.
Why did we never expand on the past of the male lead? Why has the female lead never met his family while hers is getting all the spotlight? Why are there so many secondary characters whose entire being I can sum up in one or two sentences and couldn't care less about?
Is this all really by the same author? I really wouldn't be surprised if someone told me the author wanted to end this series after volume 4, died sometime after volume 7 and the publishing company has hired someone to impersonate them to keep their cash cow alive.
Volume 1 to 4 — 9/10
Volume 5 to 7 — 6/10
Volume 8+ — Just don't read it.
