The romantic development is being sloppily done. I know the story is supposed to be a slow burn but we’re 58 chapters in and the characters interact with each other in such a detached way even though they’ve kissed, jerked off together over the phone, mc realized he has feelings for ml, and ml is supposedly obsessed with mc. The past few chapters have been like a mundane slice of life show with a psycho element haphazardly thrown in.

I used to enjoy this sm lol, like it was "toxic" but like bearable and interesting
now they don't even seem interested in eaxhother, let alone us being interested in the plot
