How to Console.WriteLine() after a certain delay

Question

As the title says I want to print these lines with 0.1 seconds between them. What is the easiest way to do that?

            Console.WriteLine("0.2seconds");
            Console.WriteLine("0.3seconds");
            Console.WriteLine("0.4seconds");
            Console.WriteLine("0.5seconds");
            Console.WriteLine("0.6seconds");
            Console.WriteLine("0.7seconds");
            Console.WriteLine("0.8seconds");
            Console.WriteLine("0.9seconds");
            Console.WriteLine("1second");

You can StopWatch() and Thread.Sleep(100) to print at every 0.1 seconds.

private static void Main(string[] args)
{
    var stopwatch = new Stopwatch();
    stopwatch.Start();
    
    while (true)
    {
        Thread.Sleep(100); // 0.1 sec delay
        var elapsedSeconds = 
            Math.Round((double)stopwatch.Elapsed.TotalMilliseconds/1000, 1); // round to 1 decimal place
        Console.WriteLine($"{elapsedSeconds}seconds");
    }
}
