First review ever so im gonna be quick: the low score is because this is a slow burn, not super slow, but some people cant deal with progress being slow regardless of how steady it is, and yeah, the first half could have use a bit of trimming, once it does get to the second half it kicks into a speed that should be much more palatable to most and the ending is beautiful. If you want to see a romcom that isn't a bunch of cliches tapped to one another and that doesnt stagnate for hundreds of chapters, read this, you wont regret it
