Lmaoo ayo wtf is up with this long ass essay but I enjoyed your feedback
omg did you actually take some of your time to read this ??? AHAHAHAHAHAHHA I was just so emotional at the time I read this, that couldve influenced this, also maybe because i keep seeing these tropes even in 2020 and its just tiring, BIG OOMF VAYBZZ?????? but at least im glad to kno u at least enjoyed this chaos (⌒▽⌒)
Yeahh, I took my time lolol I understand what you’re trying to say and I agree. It do got those 2000s vibes where they portray the girl as weak and insecure while the guy thinks he’s hot shit. This one happens to sleep with many girls claiming, he likes this one. Bruh, my head is like..I can’t deal with this shit lmao LIKE HOW ARE YOU GOING TO LIKE THIS ONE PERSON BUT SLEEP WITH OTHERS! I know this is smut but damn. I literally didn’t even know she had a crush on him until like almost the half? Sorry..I think I’m also heated ;-;
AHAHSHAIAND THIS IS THE SPIRIT !! We can both be heated over this dumpster fire craziness (๑•ㅂ•)و✧
Dearest typesetter and translator-san, AMEN, MATHAFAKAS!!! (๑•ㅂ•)و✧

(DONT BOTHER READING THIS ITS TOO LONG LOL)
Honestly, as a modern woman, these tropes which I've seen in 2000s smuts are still so prevalent and its disconcerting in 2020, to say the least. [I'm not sure tho if this promo is a 2000s smut just translated now or whichever but the point still stands]
The premise is cliche but it ha(d) its charm. However, the progression made it a candidate for a dumster fire decluttering. Nonetheless, an observation I've been making is that back then, I used to think possessive, all word and no action MLs like this guy, who were HANDSOME, were endearing because when push came to shove, they'd show they're true feelings but looking at it now, honestly there is no hope. Japan has this weird 'fetishization' (dare I call it at that) of extremely good looking men unable to do the bare minimum portrayed as this philanthropic manwhore who ends up with a push-over girl who'll allow a breach of her boundaries and consent because she IS a pushover and we're supposed to root for em even when the ML is shit and the girl is left in a compromise that leaves her in a most disadvantageous state because the smut quality is good and its romantic yadayada. And let's not forget, she either has to be this motherly, carer figure who (in most cases) must be a virgin who'll easily sway in the man's grasp because come what may 'love wins all.'
Honestly, I forgot the point of what I was trying to lead to from the long-ass paragraph above so I'll just put this out there: as much as this is a work of fiction and readers must be responsible with how we perceive such things, at the end of the day, it still exhibits dangerous portrayals of relationships and to (impressionable) men and women out there, I hope you're not like either the ML, the FL or even that possible pushy and uncomfortable 2nd ML (officeworker guy). Never let yourself be swayed by a person who barely can function alone and thinks being pushy/aggressive (in a bad way) and [semi] violent is a good lewk, you deserve respect and a good sit down to talk your feelings out before any kinky shit can happen or whichever order you wanna start BUT the talking needs to happen, nonetheless. No pressure on the sex or no sex thing, it's your jam, you do you.
At the end of the day, I'm taking this story in too deep and I'm sorry to the eyes bleeding for tryna read this far (if ever) but ye, respect one another, learn to grow together and communicate always! Smut is da bonus owo (▰˘◡˘▰) Peace out!
