seemed like they just had a vision for 2 characters, the story, full of holes, the switch pov and twists and turns, were very predictable, annoying as hell. Honestly, shredded the orriginal story and it felt like reading gibberish. Its one of those story's chopped liver weare here to eat the art situation.

ml: *secretly* "I want him, to want to, want me"
mc: i feel like the bad guy here
ml: *succeeds mission without realizing*
ngl if you think about it from mc's pov though. ml is just this cute and naiive guy he never rlly talked to in the group. Suddenly the dude who looks like hes never seen porn, masturbated to him, literally craved his dick and was down to be fucked by him 24/7 365. Now hes roped into some sort of a love affair and is in too deep.

ngl, i was extremely scared by kaya to read the ups again, and extremely glad, nasu said let me hear "you". But i still hated the mc getting taken advantage of, using that to escape reality. The parents not giving two fucks about those signs, and this back n forth of mc saying yes to both kaya n nasu.
the characters are written good, all off them hoshii, nasu, kaya, n mc. I just hate manipulation part. Also I gave this a chance even with step-sibs tag, but god i hate kaya forcing himself on to mc, and hitting her with the "you can stop me if you don't want this". very well and damn straight knowing mc can't explain herself, and communicate with others properly.
i absolutely love this version compared to lemme be the wallflower villainesses
