I get what you’re saying but this is just a difference in taste. I feel like the story is definitely progressing, even though it’s at a slow pace. Personally i love how long it’s taking because i appreciate a good slowburn.
I really believe that this is a case of “don’t like don’t read”, simply because that is the style this is written in. Not every story has to cater to your taste and that’s okay, because even though you don’t like it, other people will.

I'd have to read the story more tbh, since I'm just considering reading this but there is a difference between "slow burn" and "slow plot" and from what i'm getting this is a case of a slow plot rather than just slow romance. If the author is staling the story for 20 chapters with the same story beats then that's just bad writing

and here's the breaking news of today, that's exactly how it's supposed to be and the point is to depict a pace that reflects reality! is it that incomprehensible?
don't worry, the world will spin just fine without your 'constructive' critisism, if repeating the same thing over and over again even though nobody asked can be considered that... that's just you projecting your dismay.
and hey, i know we want many things in life but we really can't have it all. nobody is obliged to cater to you specifically and me alike. this is not your story, not mine, it's the author's. big breath, and find a new story to distract yourself with, one that, yk, caters to you more. because this one won't.

I think it’s both slow-paced plot and romance, and personally i really like it. The story is clear and concise to me. I genuinely don’t know where y’all get the “stalling” from. The author frequently introduces new characters and subplots, it just takes a lot of time and spans over a few chapters which is exactly my taste. Same with the progression of their relationship, it’s just slowly coming along. I genuinely don’t understand when we all lost the ability to stop reading if we don’t like something. Not everything has to cater to everyone.
We are not complaining, we are sharing constructive opinions. We are saying what we don't like about the story and what we expect from it. No one can deny the story's not going anywhere since at least 20 chapters ago. It's always the same: Taeha doesn't tell anything about himself, Haesoo doubts him but won't say it cause she doesn't want to lose him, Taeha's family drama that doesn't even made any change in the story so far, Mincheol that's playing with his gf but still is nowhere close to finding out Haesoo has a new man, the gf trying to baby trap Mincheol. And now Taeha and Haesoo are gonna have sex, cause they're going to a motel. What's the point when all we see are their thoughts going on 360s? They both wanna talk but decide not to over and over again, it gets tiring. I want Mincheol to see Haesoo and Taeha together, I wanna see Taeha explaining his situation to Haesoo, I wanna see Haesoo stand up for herself at least once and put Taeha in his place. Tell him if he doesn't speak about himself then it's over, just to ensure this time she won't take shit from no one. I am not asking for much, truly the story is so stuck it feels the writer doesn't know how to keep going with it.
