Tbh, the slowburn is amazing
Actually, it's more like a strategy to stretch out the story and churn out as many chapters as possible before readers finally drop the work out of sheer frustration, leading to the the publisher canceling the whole thing. Really, I have seen enough works like this meeting the exact same fate, and it's never a pretty sight.
Well, time will tell whether I'm right or not. I, for one, am getting thoroughly bored with this.
