Ok yeah, don't read if you won't like the "stiffness" from the characters and/or you don't like debt/contract relationship. MC cries and ML is cold (not a turn off for me lmao; happens a lot from what I've read).

I don't think it's fair to judge based off of like facial expressions lol, but I understand if you have preferences. This story is not new, but the pacing + dialog keeps it interesting (except for a part in s3 where I thought it dragged a bit).
Story beats are textbook but the art definitely excels! I value nuanced portrayals of characters more than above all because I need to feel something after reading BL for however many years atp. I've read enough stories that bore me to death with subpar or outright inaccurate artwork, so this was a pleasant addition to the catalog.
The artwork improves a bit and seeing the later chapters inspires me to draw, if that's what you're looking for (๑•ㅂ•)و✧

It seems like mangaka started adding to it after a few chapters, hence the style change from manga > webcomic.
It's drawn out, repetitive, one dimensional and basic. I'm not gonna say it's boring though, it's clearly a product of it's era; heavy shojo art style, stale character tropes, blatant homophobia from (mainly) female characters INCLUDING heaps of fluff, age old plot twists and shojo sex scenes.
It's like watching Twilight or The Vampire Diaries in modern day, yk what ur signing up for haha. Clearly if this genre from this era is your thing, this'll be another book for the log. If not, just pretend you're observing a piece of history.
IMO it's a comforting read when you know exactly what the playbook is gonna look like...
Cheers to whoever reads this somehow, happy 2025
