I love a good slow burn but the flame definitely goes out if the writer(s) wait(s) too long or don't do enough to keep it going.

What a cool picture choice.

I love slow burn but there's definitely a point when it becomes too slow or even repeating the same beats and I get impatient too. Waiting for a build up of chapters can help you come back with fresh eyes and decide if it's actually making enough progress to follow chapter by chapter.

(Anonymous) 2021-08-24 11:26 pm (UTC)(link)
I feel you, OP. What I tend to do is read what I can, line up a few more fics, and check in on the fic in question in a month or two, then depending how much I remember, either pick up where I left off or just wait a bit longer and start it over. It works for me and helps tide over my impatience (esp since so many of my faves are WIPs or oneshots and I am a lover of potty character driven multi-chaptered slow burns T.T).

Shit there's one where the author updates like twice a year, and I reread the fic once or twice a year lmao. To be fair, I also rotate fandoms like underwear, so it'd also a question of my interest waning/waxing.

At this point I basically assume that fics aren't ever going anywhere and I just have to either make my peace with that or stop reading them. The number of authors who actually have somewhere to go with their fics is so small as to be statistically insignificant lol

The longer and more drawn out slowburns can be, the more the romances feel like a sitcom 'will they or won't they?' to me.

Lol

That bonus secret got me lol

How would you describe this game/have you played other dating sim games and which have you preferred?

I've heard some talk about this game, especially this guy and how disgusting he is, but I hadn't seen any pictures until now and this is... very different from how I was imagining him. I'd been picturing a "hot bad boy" design. I'm amused by how off I was, and the bonus secret makes it better.

I'm guessing you like the yandere routes in most dating sims.

Big fan of Jiang Cheng learning to copy her soup so he can give it to Jin Ling, absolutely.

Also always liked the notion that Wei Wuxian is actually a half-decent cook, but only spicy Yunmeng stuff, which is basically poison to anyone not raised in Yunmeng. Jiang Cheng can eat it just fine, and in fact misses his cooking.

(Anonymous) 2021-08-25 02:21 am (UTC)(link)
Huh? Wei Ying just goes ahead and cooks congee while they're in Coffin Town.

The Yunmeng sect are quite down to earth and practical. I figured they can all probably cook basics, but Yanli is the best so they all prefer her food.

I find it equal parts frustrating and hilarious that Jiang Yanli's personality is 90% soup.

Many people I talked to loved this episode, and found it the spookiest among the new season roster. Maybe mental illness is the biggest unsolved mystery of them all?
