@Chiyo06 I agree and no you're not nitpicking. After reading tons of bl it kinda trains one to be a kind of expert at some basic things like pacing etc... For most readers anyway so you're not wrong to say it felt a little rushed cause it did. 

But at the same time like I said bwat reads can struggle to hold an audience so I'm guessing they decided to quit while they were ahead which I think was the better choice as opposed to dragging it on. 

Plus I find that 70 to 90 chapters is a very sweet spot to end a story. After that even picking it up as a new reader just feels discouraging like you'll never finish 🥴

And please pay no mind to me saying I'm feeling numb. When I correspond on this platform my thoughts just flow freely because in my mind this is a safe space so everything just comes out but I'm fine and I'm sure I'll find sth new in no time. 

Sometimes it's not even the works that are the problem it's me whose in a weird space so let's drop that here and pretend I didn't say it 😫🥲

I'm thinking either Payback or December rain for my next read. 

Let me know what you end up settling on :)

@Lonely Otaku You're right. It is sensible to end it while they're still ahead rather than dragging it on and risk losing readers' interest.

I just randomly picked two titles. Thirst and Lucky Paradise. 
 As usual I didn't read any synopsis whatsoever and just dove in blindly. I like Lucky Paradise more than Thrist given that I just finished reading Open Board. Think of it as a palate cleanser of sort haha.

Between Payback and December Rain, the former seems daunting than the latter. Hahaha Let me know what you think when you finish reading. 😊
