When you can't make head or tail, or have to build a fantasy, about what the characters think or why they act the way they do and about where the story is headed, it's not a question of taste, it's just bad writing. Only the characters save this in my eyes.
Even pro mangaka do bad writing sometimes. I'm not casting stones at Ssamba, as I can't write or draw for the life of me, but as a reader of thousands of stories, I can tell she lacks experience and would have needed an editor to help her straighten her storytelling. That's my honest opinion.
If she ever writes something else I hope she will improve.
When there aren't discussions about what the characters think or why they act the way they do and about where the story is heading, that's actually worst. It means there's isn't interest in the story. 'Building fantasies' or how I'd call it, sharing theories keeps a story and the group of people interested in it, alive. That the fun part.
FF has it's bad moments, definitely, but I wouldn't say the plot is badly written. And I do think this is a matter of opinion, you've been saying FF has bad writing for a while anyway.
Like you mentioned before, the characters are the best part of FF. To me, No-Rae and Seol-A are part of the best characters in a yuri story, manga or anime. That fact alone is enough for FF to not be badly written, imho. Unless ssamba suddenly kills one of them, or something.
FF could be better, yes, it has lost good opportunities, yes (I've complained about the story sometimes) but it's a good manhwa, a manhwa that makes people share long posts about what they like, about what they hate, rant, praise. There's a lot of interest in the story that doesn't even have a single kiss yet, haha that says a lot.
Of course I agree that if ssamba keeps running in circles for 10 or more chapters I'm going to change my mind, but for now, everything could be better, but is good enough for me.
