This is a perfect example of coming for the smut and staying for the plot.
At first, I thought this series was going to be just another half-assed story for the excuse of smutty scenes. But the more I read the more I was surprised by the amount of depth and complexity given to each character and the fearlessness of the author to delve deep into the shameful and murky emotions that come with human relationships. I began to find myself sympathizing with each character, and was shocked at how much I saw myself in them. Specifically, the suffering, the shame, the guilt, the cowardness; all of these emotions are really hard to paint in a realistic and humanistic light, and with the background of porn, which is a natural theme of shame and guilt, the author was able to showcase these honest yet difficult feelings. This is not a lighthearted story, it is not a shallow story. There is care and meaning behind each action and plot point and I found myself getting immersed with each chapter.
I will say there were some moments that felt a little too cheesy and cringy for my liking and the story isn't perfect which is my reason for not giving it a full score.
Now, as a cherry-on-top, the smut scenes were also very hot and sexy, and I think they complimented the more angsty and serious atmosphere of the story.
