Is this just my aromanticness speaking or is it otherwise ok to not like slow burn?

Well, i understand in principle why it's popular, but i just feel like i can't enjoy stories where not only the couple getting together is the main goal, but it also has to be drawn out for what exact reason?

And yes, i know the whole mantra of "different tastes" and "reader preference" but i'm honestly starting to feel like something with me isn't right, as if i have a warped perception of romance in writing and how to implement it into stories. Like, all i'm hearing at this point is how romance is all about the characters discovering love and this change in the relationship between them, and that change factor honestly makes me somewhat uncomfortable to be completely honest. It's feels like being told over and over again that friendship is nothing more than the middle step of the relationship ladder, which feels so reductive to me.

So i like the relationships in my stories to be rather clear cut. If characters realize they might be into each other in a romantic way, then that's because they always kinda felt that way but are only now ready to think about that, but most of the time it's more like "Jup, these two love each other. Just a fact of the universe". And it's not even the case that i don't enjoy this sort of pseudo-romance, where it's focused on established relationships. It's just that i like to focus more on things like trust and them helping each other through hard times,because the conflict is coming from the outside and they have a stand trough it together.

I really don't want to slip into thinking this way of writing is superior or something, especially because i know that it's actually quite the opposite in he way it doesn't hit the genre requirements, but it's really difficult not to feel this way if it clearly feels superior to me. Because i just can't enjoy typical romance.
