i dont know, i feel like this is not the way to write a slow burn story. i think the main point is the length of the chapters and i feel like nothing is happening. i dont think its a good way to build a story up if this is what the author is doing rn. yeah this is going to be the knot of the story if jk lose the match but with these short chapters ofc people gonna lose their interest, its expectable. in every chapter we only see dan being harrased, humiliated, then he cries, jk is same in every ch. yeah theres a plot i see but this is not the best way to write it i think. when the protagonist is not relatable and acts dumb in a obvious way, its not readable anymore.

omg just say that youd like fo move in with him
but its relateable for me cause im that overthinker lunatic person that reads every email for 5 times before sending and have inner monologues all day about how people perceive me and if i feel i got misunderstood even by a bit, im in depression from that minute to the next week
just came here to re-read this 6 years and i feel like this was 60chs long how there is only 35
I was literally thinking the exact same thing. Probably because we were reading while it was still serializing so it felt longer.
