absolutely frustrating pacing but gods. my favourite parts so far. I know that's just the way it is since it was written as a web novel and not an actual book so I can hardly keep that against it.
the character work is just amazing. I'm awe, I'm jealous, I am considering a proposal. I am going to go insane once some actual romantic things start to happen like, mutually

While the flashbacks will give necessary context to things happening in the present, it can be quite frustrating to read a non-linear timeline story.  It always seems like it's getting interrupted right when things are getting interesting.

I think this volume in particular suffers from it since the present is such a small portion of the book but there were definitely some memorable and important things going on in the flashbacks so I'm not particularly miffed about it.
