“Slowburn” as a tag added to themes

[VolphinaSerafina]

I believe MangaDex should consider adding a “Slowburn” tag to themes. Seeing as there is so much romance manga, manhwa, and manhua it is hard to differentiate whether or not it is the kind where characters take very long to get together(Slowburn). Chapter count isn’t always reliable because sometimes characters get together within 5 chapters, the rest being their relationship and, there isn’t even a chapter count sometimes.

So I thought a poll for this would be reasonable

Edit: Sorry, ignore the second option

_{one... two... three... uhh} what was it again?
oh yeah, +1
i want to see fast-acting romance so this tag should be helpful to filter this

 

[Halo]

+1​

 

[Richman]

Sorry, ignore the second option

Joke aside...
Isn't that like basically every romance series?
I guess I can see the point of using it, like some people just doesn't like the slowburn and only want to see the couple banging within 1 or 2 volume after they met. There's some series that fast pacing, so maybe it'll help them.

But.. again, isn't it basically every romance series?
Also, wouldn't it kinda spoil the series?

speedrun romance any% best record

@hazzack I would argue this one is current world record holder

@ABCsOfLife that one is for series category.

This is a concern of mine as well.

Also, I don't ever think I've heard the term 'slowburn' before. Could there be a better phrase for it?

This is why you dont cave to pressure and add a single tag. Everybody wants to add a new tag. "But xxx got added as a tag so why not mine??" YOU WANT TAGS? GOTO MANGAUPDATES!!!!

 

[BestBoy]

@bigtiddyoneesan It's a pretty common term when talking about storytelling styles. It indicates a story that is taking it's time to develop everything. It refers to slow burn wicks in candles.

@blackyawgdom Apparently if you get enough "+1"s in your post you can get any shitty tag created.

Isn't that like basically every romance series?

Hence, -1
But actually I can't see any practical use of it. Sorry.

 

[hazzack]

@bigtiddyoneesan don't worry about the term, we can just make a new meaning for it.

 

[bigtiddyoneesan]

@Bestboy

Thanks. I figured its meaning, I just thought that having an uncommon word (at least, uncommon to me) for such a trope might be an oversight.

@hazzack
I'm going to 'slowburn' the next duck I find in the park. Tasty ψ(｀∇´)ψ

 

[hazzack]

the word you are looking for is "roast" but i like your spirit.

wait...

 

[Laz45]

Nah, that's subjective.

I just want a tag that says "NOPE STILL NO GODDAMN PROGRESS AFTER DOZENS OF CHAPTERS THEY WON'T EVEN CALL EACH OTHER BY THEIR FIRST NAMES FOR FUCKS SAKE".
