I was hoping chapter 2 would give the girls perspective, but seeing the interaction in this chapter it feels unlikely.
Yeah honestly things feel really one sided without it. (Even if there are small “hints” every now and then)
Would love to see the girls perspective and the guy doing something cool back with a little back and forth between them as they slowly fall in love.
Plus if this is a slow burn it would be nice if the “oh shit we’re at that age now and things are different now” moments were spread out more because it dilutes the little moments effect to constantly have them sprinkled through without the reader experiencing more deeply how they impact the characters.
(Like for example, the food the MC likes could more naturally connected to the memories he shares with the food. The FMC could still talk about how she knows after all these years but the MC could either think to himself about why he actually liked the food to begin with or why its memorable to him and show the care he feels towards FMC)
(TLDR I want to experience the memories they have rather than being told X was always like this in the past)
Tbh though no major problems. Just want more of a dual protag dynamic and a heavier emphasize on their memory and how they’ve grown and changed as people so it can be 10/10 instead of an 8/10
