Chapter 28 - The Waiting Game

Online novels these days often go for a more subtle approach.

Even if there are fighting scenes and conflicts, they are usually described in a refined way, or the protagonist spends forty chapters scheming to finally take down their opponent.

A show like <> which skips the niceties and jumps straight into the action, was perfect for someone like him, a college student with a somewhat offbeat mindset.

Ryang Geumhee searched every corner of BingeBox but couldn't find the next episode of <>.

Their rival platform show <> had released three episodes all at once, totaling 100 minutes.

<> with only ten minutes of content, seemed to be mocking his VIP membership.

Ryang Geumhee couldn't think of anything else.

He just wanted to see the next episode of <>.

Unfortunately, there were still three days until Wednesday.

Was he the only one left waiting so miserably?

Without hesitation, Ryang Geumhee logged into the online novel forum that he frequently visited.

[ Original Poster (OP): Return of the Warlord: Finds Daughter Living in a Doghouse… ]

[I've just discovered an amazing show and I have to recommend it to you all!! ]

[ Super super super exciting, I swear on my ten years of reading experience! ]

[ The show's pacing is fast, won't make you feel bored, and you can watch it in one go. I've been struggling to find a good novel lately, and once I started watching this show, I couldn't stop. ]

Ryang Geumhee was indeed a long time reader, and he held a high status in the online novel forum.

He loved recommending books on the forum, and the other forum members trusted his suggestions a lot.

[ I'm going to check it out. ]

[ Let me take a look. Is it on BingeBox? ]

[ Not really into shows, but the summary looks interesting. I'll go watch it now. ]

Ryang Geumhee glanced at his watch. It was 9:45 in the morning.

There are many night owls on the forum, so a few people might have already been tricked.

As the minute hand hit 9:55, Ryang Geumhee elegantly reopened the forum.

[ Ahhhhh, who understands the pain of having watched the first part with no second part? ]

[ OP, you're a bad person!!!! ]

[ So frustrating, wasted my precious 10 minutes. So when is the next episode? ]

[ What? do you mean I need to wait until next Wednesday!? ]

A lot of replies appeared below the post.

Every time Ryang Geumhee tricked someone, they would come back and accuse him.

The whole day, the post stayed at the top of the forum, with more and more replies.

Many users who weren't tricked by Ryang Geumhee were simply curious about <> and went to BingeBox to check it out.

[ it's so frustrating!! I shouldn't have been curious and clicked on it! ]

[ Suddenly reminded of a novel I followed a few years ago. It was really good, but the updates were always so slow. ]

[ I usually support original content and pay for a membership. I only realized after paying that BingeBox is a video site, not a novel platform... ]
