Slow burn vs Insta love or just medium pace

I lean more into the medium pace than slow or insta pace as I find it important for the story to build more and let us learn about the character!

I don't have a preference; fast pace suggests that the development or drama will occur in the relationship or during the confession, medium pace allows time to develop the point without being too slow or fast, and slow pace gives reasons to become attached, the development of the romance and the reason for the relationship, but if I had to choose, I would go for medium pace.🤔
 
medium for sure, slow burn is only nice and it feels natural and isn't stalled for the sake of being stalled
 
It depends on the length of the game.
If a game is long, then I want the romance to be stretched across and sprinkled in throughout the whole route.
But if the game is short, then the romance should progress at a faster rate.

I love a mix of slow burn and insta love! Like a "he fell first, she fell harder" kind of situation ❤️
 
Medium and slow-butn, depends on how the story develops with the li. Anything but insta love 😅
 
Medium pace is probably my sweet spot honestly, but a good slow burn works too as long as there's actual romantic tension along the way... those routes where nothing happens until like 80% in are just as frustrating to me as insta love. And insta love is rough because the whole route ends up feeling one-sided (be it for the LI or the MC) for so long
 
Medium pace!! I feel like a lot of otome nowadays have that Disney Princess thing where they fall in love in such a short amount of time and it doesn't make sense, or that there's barely ANY romance going on. This is how I felt with bustafellows.
 
I like slow, but since it's tricky to find a balance that doesn't just feel like they're spinning their wheels, I prefer medium.
 
Medium or slow burn. I need to see how the MC and the LI fall in love. Seeing the push and pull, internal struggles, and the realization that they are in love would be nice. The process matters more than the result for me. Instalove doesn't give enough room for the love to develop, so the love weighs less to me.

I prefer a medium pace! When a story moves too quickly, it frustrates me because I don't have enough time to actually feel the emotions; it often feels unnatural, and I want to watch the feelings develop. However, an overly long slow burn can get boring too:akazukin_sweat:

Definitely team medium pacebut with a huge soft spot for a well-e ecuted slow burn!
Insta-love usually makes me hit the brakes because if the LI is already head-over-heels by chapter 1, I'm just sitting there like... but why do u love me tho,where is the pining? where is the mutual suffering? it takes away all the stakes ~
That being said, slow burn is an art form. If it's done right, the payoff is amazing, but if it's just 15 hours of silly miscommunications keeping them apart, I lose my patience. Medium pace is the ultimate sweet spot—give me that natural chemistry and actual development, but please let them realize they like each other before the credits roll lol
