Just wondering but was this story supposed to be slow burn? As in did the author intended or declared it to be slow burn
They don't need to declare it. It's implied that theyre trying to steer it in that direction by how much the Mc is in deep ass denial of his feelings 24/7. Slow burn is a lot of chapters of build up before a proper relationship, which is what happens in their manhwas but the way it's executed is tiring and listless.
I think you are over generalizing your opinion kinda, it doesn’t really make sense to criticize something which isn’t there. I don’t mean to sound rude btw haha;;
I get that you think that it’s being implied to be slowburn, but characters being in deep denial isn’t a core part of that genre as well or a trademark for it.
It’s them very slowly but gradually developing feelings - this MC here probably fell at first sight.
And I also don’t agree that there is a lot of build up. Both DCS and THOS are quiet fast paced, but this is just my opinion(!!). Since both pairings were immediately attracted to each other.
Saying that there are a lot of chapters building up and this being „badly executed slow burn“ is a little contrary towards each other … but again, this was never slow burn to begin with I think. Again, no meaning to sound rude, just sharing my thoughts over your comment!
he realised his feeling sooner than in other manhwas i read. also i don't see him being super annoying. he's actually trying to understand what his feeling are as he never felt this way about another man. if they had their hug on saturday when he realized his heart was going wild, then it means that he only had a few days of agonizing about it until monday night when he met him again and understood his feelings were neither respect nor admiration. honestly, i don't think see him being denying his own feelings.
i never liked a girl this way in my life, so i can understand that if i suddenly start having feelings abt a girl (at my age, being straight my whole life, as we can assume abt him) i would definitely try to make it make sense as he did.
i don't know if what i'm saying makes sense, but i definitely don't agree with you babe.
well said! i agree with you.
One thing I noticed in both this and The Dangerous Convenience Store; this author is terrible at slow burn. Slow burn is NOT when one character catches feelings less than 10 chapters in and then profusely denies those feelings for another unnecessary 30+ chapters before admitting to them in a very underwhelming way with a lot of unnecessary waffling and crying, which is what they did with TDCS and the direction I feel this is also heading in. The dialogue also seems to ignore the concept of less is more; they only met a few days ago but are baring their souls to each other. Manhwas like this are light reads that intended to and tried too hard to be heavyI'll stick it out for now
