no, passion is!
Passion doesn’t make a good story.
i don't agree with that. if the characters AREN'T passionate, the story will be terrible. It is definitely a good thing that she has an interest in something that isn't just boys. At the end of the day I guess it depends on what kind of story you are looking for. A passion for tea isn't great for an action story or a horror story. It isn't particularly helpful for a pure romance, but this story is more of an isekai slice of life; the romance is there but it isn't the focus of this story.
Wow, that was a really well written response and I get where you’re coming from, however extremes of anything are bad. The “story” is extremely passion driven at this point and offers nothing to the readers. Obviously no one is asking for a horror or action but any type of progression or development will at least give us something to look forward to. If this was a slice of life, it should have been tagged as such, but it wasn’t. If the romance is lacking, the isekai has barely been touched on since the first chapter, and the story itself is on a stand still; I don’t see the point in releasing more chapters. It’s become repetitive and frustrating.
I have been reading this as a slice of life story even though it isn't tagged that way. I mean, it is also tagged fantasy, but I haven't seen any evidence of magic beyond the fact that she has awoken in the past. But, you do make a good point.
Based on what you are saying, I think the problem isn't the main character or her interest in tea, but rather the lack of external conflict. It would be interesting if there was some problem she ran into that wasn't immediately solved. Maybe a rival tea company pops up. Or international relations sour and trade routes become inaccessible. On the romance side, more character development for the ml, or more of his past coming out might be nice. Either way, the problem isn't the tea itself or her interest in it.
One again, amazing reply. You’re absolutely correct. That’s exactly it. I didn’t realize that was my problem with it until you said that
Tea isn’t a personality trait
