After reading 229 chapters of MTLs, I have to say, this story has some big issues.The biggest one among them is the sheer amount of filler and incredibly slow pacing. Constantly, random stuff pops up with no relation to the main plot. The worst part is that none of the random stuff is foreshadowed in any way, so it's like the story just suddenly changes directions for no reason and with no context.This results in, as I said before, incredibly slow pacing. We're talking Bleach levels of slow, with all the filler included. And none of it is relevant.Also, there has been zero progress with any of the female leads. He is not proactive in attempting to get with any of them and they have no real romantic thoughts about him aside from 'he's so cool', 'he's so nice' etc. Do not expect even something as basic as handholding for a long, long time. (I'm 229 chapters in and nothing like that has happened. I can think of exactly one instance where physical contact was initiated and it wasn't romantic in nature.) So yeah. This is incredibly, incredibly slow. If you plan to stick with it, expect to skim tens of thousands of useless wordcount padding nonsense to read a few relevant paragraphs. (I dropped this because of the reasons stated above and I actually wanted to give it 2 stars but misclicked. Ultimately, it wasn't an enjoyable experience for me.)
