@everyone in the comments
why do characters have to be likable for the story to be good?? have you only been reading simple children's shoujo comics up until now??? Also, rather than being unlikable, I feel like yall are needlessly hating on characters bc theres no clear villain for you to hate
the story is definitely on the slower side, but its space is used appropriately and efficiently, like theres no unnecessary fillers, and the nonlinear format might be making people think that it's not progressing fast enough
