The heat energy that you keep adding goes to change the state of the water from liquid to vapor at the same temperature.

Temperature does change from room temperature water to boiling water. It does not change in boiling water liquids can only absorb a specific amount of heat before changing the state of the water. The pressure in the water does not allow the temperature to change.
