Cute lil master x servant with species ism... thrown in for... flavor text??? I guess??? I wish the seme HAD actually gone abroad for a bit and THEN realized he really didnt want to be separate from the uke. Add a bit more spice to the story. But it was cute still 6/10

Really clunky writing. I get what they were going for (reencoubter I've loved you this whole time but external homophobia and a traumatic experience created internal phobia and now I'm a wreck but will you love me anyway) BUT I don't think the execution was very good. The story clumsily hints at the broader story because it wants to do a dramatic reveal, so it has to spend all its screen time with the confused seme. But the seme isn't all that interesting bc his entire character revolves around the uke, but we cant tell you anything about the uke because he has to be a mystery, so we cant tell you anything at all. ¯_(ツ)_/¯ 2/10, minus a point for annoying me

Dropped at ch 16. Seme is seriously nothing but red flags and this story is full of annoying contrivances. Feels like the author had a smutty premise in mind but no idea how to make it happen and just cobbled together things they've seen in other manhwa. 3/10

Honestly, pretty cute and I wish there was more 6/10

Honestly surprisingly consensual?? Like from the start? Their first time could be considered dubcon since the uke needs the money, but its delightfully consensual from there. Uke also really wants that D and clearly enjoys the sex. The seme is surprisingly sweet and gentlemanly 6/10

Mm. That left me with a pretty ill feeling. I want explain it well but the uke is constantly insecure about their relationship and it feels like the seme plays on that. He says he pampers him but it doesn't feel that way... Plus, the seme really doesn't want the uke to get to know him. He has a private life but they're dating?? He doesnt need to explain his trauma but at least talk about everyday stuff with him? Idk. Didn't really like the relationship that was built here. 3/10

I know I just finished this but I cannot remember much about it -/10

Playboy seme encounters a seemingly innocent uke who turns out to be more devilish in bed than he anticipated. He gets a lil pissed off and tries to get back at the uke only to fall in love and also find out they've met before in the past. Personally, I'm not big into "i actually loved you all along" plots. But that's personal preference. We stan an uke who knows what he wants and goes for it, and can also be a cute, shy bean. Relationship was a little spontaneous for me, but I did like the characters so 6 or 7/10

I'll be honest, I thought something more would happen given the story had like... curses and fish spirits and spirit mediums, but it was kinda... standard? Idk a little disappointed in the supernatural element because this felt like a unique yokai type story. Mm 4/10 for the disappointment

Wow that took them longer than I expected and also they were fwb for as long as I was expecting. Either way, cute and a lil angsty 5/10
