@liaerde I used to feel this way and idk if it'll help you but i just kinda strictly separated this fanfom in two halfs in my head: those who actually read the story and enjoy it and r quite chill and those who just wanna hate on every chapter and lack braincells and they're NOT my fandom
I've tried looking into threads/videos/etc about people's opinions on how kinioto's "lost the plot" or the "Mitsuki abuse" opinions & honestly & truly. I think people just can't rock with the pacing. Impatient on resolution, black & white thinking, can't read between the lines..
