This is taking me so long. The plot is drowning in scenes that serve absolutely nothing besides it's fun to have. You can only go so long with quirky innocence to the point it's childish and annoying as shit. Then try to sell me this character can dark. I'm not rooting for these characters. Nothing is driving this romance. Why didn't you just focus on an epic romance. It's a flimsy goosechase with halfbaked romance.

As a writer I am getting really angry at these constant cliffhangers that aren't followed up on in the next chapter. As a reader I am feeling more and more lied to and manipulated every time you tell me a character is in trouble or something big is happening for then to immediately follow up with "oops it was a misunderstanding" or "it was actually not that dangerous, it's actually funny, aren't they cute?" NOOOO
