I kinda get your perspective but we only have 7 chapters right now, let it marinate for a lil bit and for sure the author will throw in the spice and angst. Gotta have the couple develop some feelings before any hurt can happen after all lol. As for me though, I wouldn't really mind if it stays as it is cuz I love me some slice of life and stress-free story (づ￣ ³￣)づ
*9 chapters oops
Man I’m not actually a big fan of tropes but for this case, I think throwing in some generic ol’ tropes, maybe miscommunication, could be an easy fix to get some angst goin’. I do agree it’s earlier into the series so it likely won’t happen but I can certainly wish ^^
initially I was all taken in and in love with how wholesome it all is, but reading it now, I feel something is missing. Where is the drama? The angst? The toxicity? I mean sure, this is a healthy and cute young love story bur what is life without the spice of it? The adversity, the trials and tribulations that lead to untold triumph and repeating itself in perpetuity?
Basically, it’s nice that they are shy and reserved and contented (for now) with their superficial indulgences of courtship but I want substance that can only come from raw and unfiltered characterization. I think that the author is too focused on the gimmick of the story (“let’s make a relationship transactional”) at the moment, to spare pages dedicated to something that’s more than a fluff piece and I hope for it to come in due time because an mf is waiting y’all.
