S1: you will feel frustrated at first, because honestly, everything they do feels stupid and so unnecessarily extra. trust me, i also was tearing my hair off at the main couple's shenanigans with the will they, won't they schtick. the good thing about this that their problems get addressed (sort of) during the later eps, and it reads more as immature people, awkward, and inexperienced getting together
I am hella concerned with how quickly they got together lol, i felt like if they let the awkwardness marinate a bit more, or actually sat down and talked about their feelings it could actually be a contender for a good romance story
kept me interested enough to want to read s2
S2: Story could've been stronger if more hints were dropped at S1, but I'm not sure if stuff just got lost during translation
Overall, a decent read, but nothing to write home about
this didn't hit it for me, our ml feels like bland toast, with the interesting bit of his personality only showing up in the final act, i just wanted him to be a more active participant in his own destiny and life ya know?
this used to be an avenue of fantasies and kinks, now it's just boring fuckfests every other chapter ugH
to think this is the reality for some people, like damn, share some of the blessing with some of us struggling out in the dating market lmao
such a cute story, i was so ready to be frustrated, but they all had more than 2 braincells working, so that was a treat
"his willy's glowing!" help i can't
please let me turn back into the person i was before i read this
Couldn't grit and bear to finish, all the characters felt like shadows of real people. Since it's just 20ish chapters, the drama was too heavy-handed for the pacing that it had. 2nd couple had an interesting dynamic that i could've been into if tristan was planning on straight-up raping our mc
their 2nd time spanning multiple chapters including the prep work was making ME blush the fuck, this is really sweet and a nice change of pace in terms of characterization for me
the writing is strong on this one
it feels like a slow simmer of things to come, but overall we were given all their circumstances and it'll be really interesting seeing that develop
it had such a good s2 that I wish s1 received the same treatment with translations
i feel like it had so much potential in the first half that I just skimmed through it to get to the good parts
asada really knows how to make compelling assholes ugH the whole dive into power dynamics in a genre where most of it is usually handwaved away is such a treat and scratches my brain so much
