As for the story being predictable I can say that for just about all the stories in the game, they all follow traditional tropes for fantasy novels and story elements are telegraphed pretty aggressively. Not everything needs an M. Night Shyamalan style twist, sometimes just having an upbeat fantasy story with a happy ending is nice. Writers have been using the same concepts to write stories for over 4000 years, the concepts don't change only the presentation.
As for why it takes the MC so long to figure it out it's because the story was created before the Lana chapter and could be finished before the MC finds out about the master gift so he has no idea his cum can break curses at that point in the story.
I’m not expecting some complex plot twist, but we all know that the MC could have easily broken Rose’s curse from the start with his power. Yet, it takes a long time for that to happen. Then, Rose loses her magic, and we’re left dealing with boring villagers who just annoy us with their endless complains. After that, the fight with the demon lord begins, which is the only truly exciting part of the update — but it's at the very end.
Personally, I’d prefer the version you just mentioned. The red-haired version of Rose is way more attractive than the half-demon one, and the plot about embracing your inner darkness would be much more engaging than dealing with the villagers.
