@icekatze the initial premise basically sets you up for suffering.
I even forgot what this story was about in the first place because of the time in between releases.
But God damn...
Like you said, it's hard rooting for them knowing what happens from the first chapter.
Idk how the author is gonna manage the Wanwan of the present but I hope it's at least more interesting than the Wanwan from the past.
Reading about their past while knowing it leads to nothing kinda seems pointless.
I hope the story shows some purpose soon, otherwise it's just "You're reading about a couple that doesn't end together, have fun suffering".
