Amd well also it's not a romance. It's just a fantasy with romance on the side but we didn't even start romance since way later in the story. We meet Isaac maybe 30 chapters in?(i don't remeber pulling numbers from memory) and only even after that some actual chemistry and a bit of romance started so in reality it's been waaayyy less the 90 chapters of romance. Especially when counting that most chapters don't focus or even have any romance in them. We get maybe oke romantic interaction every couple chapters and even rarely a chapter or half just on a romance. And bc of that it can't be even name close to being a slown burn
idk the relationship or maybe situationship is off, maybe because the story isn't focused so much on the romance the chemistry is not brewing nicely to me, this needed slow burn
