i dont know, i feel like this is not the way to write a slow burn story. i think the main point is the length of the chapters and i feel like nothing is happening. i dont think its a good way to build a story up if this is what the author is doing rn. yeah this is going to be the knot of the story if jk lose the match but with these short chapters ofc people gonna lose their interest, its expectable. in every chapter we only see dan being harrased, humiliated, then he cries, jk is same in every ch. yeah theres a plot i see but this is not the best way to write it i think. when the protagonist is not relatable and acts dumb in a obvious way, its not readable anymore.






and -the wild thing is- you’re fully aware of everything—you know that being different often means being alone, and you’ve experienced how awful that loneliness can be. So why are you trying to make others feel the same way? And then you say, ‘I can’t support you’—girl, who even asked you? like--- i know its not serious but isn’t it weird for someone who’s felt this way to insist on making others feel the same? nosy, empathy-lacking people seriously give me a headache. And honestly, age doesn’t matter here. Back in high school—even in middle school—most of my friends and I had at least this basic level of empathy. And those who didn’t have it back then are still lacking it as adults
