Ngl I FUCKING LOVE SLOW BURN (if done right) like if the story/plot is good and compelling but other than that it just feel like the author is torturing us for a fucking kiss . Like slow burn makes the sex scene WAAAAY HOTTER than a regular story, like by now you're invested in the characters and WANT them to "taste" each other lol
I'll go first. I LOVE but also HATE whenever one of the main characters in a positive fall for the other character because of something small (for example, lending them an umbrella when it's raining, a compliment, or other small items like pens, 'protecting' them from someone's or Something in a way that doesn't really work realistically). Sometimes I find it cute! Human interaction is beautiful! But sometimes... I feel so aggravated by it and makes me less immersed while reading because it's not that deep
Especially if one of the characters gets obsessed with the other character over said small thing... I can't stand it! Haven't seen it in a while!
Note: smiles aren't included in this conversation, I think the trope of getting a gloomy or stoic character too smile and falling for them afterwards is golden!
