Um. Taking time with smut isn't a rule. They clearly realised they loved each other since starting, and finally had a chance to confess about it abd they are busy people so they both took the chance to fuck. And yeah, according to the novel it is a lot abrupt and stuff. But works for me
Actually the smut was not even in the novel so yea it was out of character
It's not about taking time, it's about not writing incoherent messes or breaking the flow. Author can do whatever they want but for sure this was unexpected for and unfortunately not in a good way, at least for me.
That's true too.
The smut wasn't but I read in the comments that there was going to be slow and nice moments instead of smut. But in the manhwa they clearly ignored everything. But I do think in S2 they will still add fluff, emotional confessions and moments.
I mean 23 chapters to develop this "thing" they have and then *BAM* full on sex scene? Bruh this left me bitter.
