Slow!!!! Imagine a slow burn and then take it down to 0.5 speed and you’re there. The thing about the worldbuilding in this story is that it’s SO well developed, that two high-ranking military leaders in a brand new experimental corp who are also researching ecological disaster are understandably too busy to have a fling. The author isn’t playing around in this story.
Think office romance, then put the office in the middle of a 6 lane highway where the leads have to direct traffic, and they’re both VERY horny and impressed by each others ability to not get hit by cars, but it’s not like there’s time to peel each others clothes off. Because cars.
I say that and still think this story is 100% worth it, if you think it’s good now then it only gets better, and the author threads the needle between tension and satisfaction so well that it feels like omegaverse Odyssey.
Yuder is a great character and super satisfying to watch, the ML is a great character and 100% more genuine than he comes across, and despite the novel being 750+ chapters and still going (urk), I never felt like it was a chore to read and the arcs are all super memorable and interesting.
That said, I have NO idea how they’re planning to adapt the whole thing, god bless and good luck to the art team.
