I don't mind slow-burn but am wary of getting involved in fic along those lines as I wonder if my expectations/tolerance is different to everyone else. If I see a fic that's in-progress with lots of chapters I confess to skimming the latest entry and if it's chapter "37/??" and it becomes evident the couple isn't even close to getting together the first time (I expect separation drama in fic at times...) then I realise "this is going to be one of those 100+ chapter fics and clearly isn't for me" and that's ok.

At the same time, authors tagging something slow burn who then have characters basically dry-humping by chapter four make me wonder if I'm misunderstanding the words "slow burn" too.

Tbh I generally won't even read a romance fic that's over 50 chapters unless there's clearly a lot more going on than romance (like if there's a big complicated overarching plot involving multiple characters and things going on where the romance is only one of those things). I've found that for most authors the longer the fic gets the worse the slow burn becomes and the more it becomes clear the author has no plan and is just dragging things out for reviews.
