Uuuuh... No not really. And a lot can happen in 3 days if it's written right (I mean if you're into D&D and/or watch Critical Role, they had 3 4 hour sessions that covered the events of about 2 days in game. Storytelling is like that sometimes.) And I feel like the author gets it? Just looking at the venn diagram that the creator made detailing their theory about romance, it seems to be the case.
And they are doing the thing I wish another series did which is give us the ml's perspective... It's good to know his side as well as the FL.
