yeah, i'm okayyyyyy with slower pacing. i too love having the time to properly explore arcs and all.
it's not just the pace, it's just not very compelling so far. and mosssssst of that is probably because i can't stand either main character? she is boriiiiiiing and for the little bit of compelling elements for him..... as soon as someone tortures or kills animals, especially doggos and/or kits, i do not like them at ALL.
as i've gotten older, animal abuse hits me harder than when i was younger.
yet human torture/death/abuse bothers me less.
does that make me a bad person?
WOOT INTROSPECTION.
