Idk why but the way you handle interactions with female characters just throws me off. Your writing is good, really good even, but the romance your write drops the quality. Actually writing this it hit me, it’s the disparity between your quality when it comes to romance and other aspects story telling. I said before that the way you approach romance is weird. But now I can put my finger on it. It’s that flirting and romance are same for you regardless of setting, character, or scenario (with some minor variation). I have been following your work on and off for years now (I really like a new story and keep reading it till the romance annoys me enough to drop it). I think I have read most of your stories (to some extent before dropping) and the quality of your writing has definitely improved over the years, but the romance is still the same. Which makes it stand out more. I hope at one point your write a story with different romance than the usual, or no romance at all. I could be wrong, but I think it show if that is the issue or not. Though I would recommend practicing different styles of romance and flirting even if you have no personal experience with them. You can’t grow as an author if you never expand beyond what you know. I definitely had stuff I disliked in your early work that are not present in the newer stuff or the way they are done is more polished. You still have a tendency of inserting a bad guy that fits your MC (or over empowering and existing one for the role) instead of just having the MC deal with what’s there. But that is flowing a lot more seamlessly in this fic compared to others. Definitely improving in the way you do it, even if you still follow the same formula (to some extent). This chapter had me stop reading for a few weeks, with me come back to the story now.

Like it was a child told he needs to sneakily question someone then runs up the first old guy selling fish he sees and starts almost exidedly asking "how about that weather" kind of question.
