Ehhh...
Pacing is a word that the author does not understand. There's no arc, plot is all over the place. I pity the TL group, as they need to squeeze out the droplets of meaning from each dialogue line and make it make sense. This is by far the worst chinese manhwa I've seen in terms of story - and I read a lot of trashy wuxia.
Dropping it - it's not worth the agony.
