You're reading too much into this. There's been literally 0 "drama" so far, the series always had taken a comedic turn with practically all situations. Stop dooming lmao
How am I reading too much into this? The author has clearly shown that they do NOT want this manga to be finished, and needs to literally add a new character on Chapter 90 that is "suppose" to compete with FMC for MC's attention (as shown in this chapter). This is after we've already been baited MULTIPLE times in regards to MC or FMC confessing to one another (the big one being the huge build-up of like 15-20 chapters for the amusement park confession scene), and nothing has happened, other than 1 flash-forward future chapter where they do end up together (Chapter 86).
It's literally dogshit writing when the story started out so promising, but then the author refuses to actually progress the story, other than "welp, no romantic progression till she is no longer an idol".
People who defend writing like this is why so many romance manga get dragged out for dozens or hundreds of chapters.
