Sometimes the slowburn is slow burning so much that I don't feel a thing when they finally kiss
How much slow-burn is too much slow burn? Someone enlight me please. Because for me, there comes a point where you want to rip your hair out and throw the tablet but you can't cz you're in too deep. And the fic is more than 400k words so you know it's a big ass commitment and giving up isn't in my bloodline. Like how many moments were there where they almost kissed counts fingers wait sorry it can't be counted in fingers. How many times they almost confessed but next day woke up like "oh yeah it might have been dream."
And the fic itself... it's so much extended for no reason! I do read long fics but it's my first time picking up such a big fic but I thought for the love that I have for reading it's going to be nothing. Haha busted! The story already resolved a huge climax halfway through and now it feels like a phrase 2 of a movie franchise. And the ship itself, they are doing everything a couple would do but still not acknowledging feelings. I love sexual tension but I think I have read the same scene like 5 times now. Kill meh. I have not been this much edged by even my professors.
Like right now I'm only sticking around cz I care for the ship and I just wanna end this when I'm already like 800 pages in. The premise is really interesting, so are the character dynamics but I don't know if it's cz of binge reading but the show burn's burn is making my skin bruised. And last night with tired eyes as I was reading, when the first kissing scene came I just said "Ah they kissed, finally, congratulations. I think I need sleep now "
