Turns out this is incredible. I was annoyed because they took forever to start dating but it was well worth the wait. The girl has a brain and for once tries to do something when in problematic situations. The male lead is also exceptionally lovable. Most importantly, they talk about the fact that our protagonist doesn't own her body. Although it's not the main focus, some of the comedy is great too. Let's not forget the gorgeous art (the guys are a real feast for my thirsty eyes).

To be honest, the scanlator drama and reveal of her fiance being gay were just as good as the actual plot. I like the protagonist not being useless. There isn't really enough relationship development for me to say much about the romance. In this case you either like the story or you give up, because there's nothing else that could carry the series. EDIT: most of this is moot by now, they're dating now and it's pretty cute. They've gone down the same path as most other stories and started bringing up prejudice against women. Call me sexist but I've seen this same thing play out so many times I just want to move on. I'm not here for a moral lesson on how bad x group had it in y time.

It's so good I bought the physical books.

If I'm being honest, the way they handled the romance could have been better. There's also the weird page layout and mc being reincarnated that was hardly even mentioned after the start. Overall the whole mind game/betrayal thing was the best part. The characters have a reverse of the problem that plagues shoujo, the FL is the one that gets all the personality while ML is just a surface level shy guy. The ending kinda sucked but I'd say it's down to personal preference if you like it or not.

Can't wait to see where they take this set up.

I'm glad someone finally picked this up again, it looks really promising! EDIT: Forgot to say I dropped it, don't remember why, probably boredom.

MC with a brain! And not just any brain, she's actually somewhat of a genius at scheming. The guy isn't some cold jerk (not that I don't like them but it's nice to have someone kind sometimes). Idk wtf is going to happen to the updates though. Trying to read the updates from the previous scanlators is basically impossible and the person who uploaded the last chapter said they're not doing it again. EDIT: So apparently I loved this? Lmfao can't remember a thing I'd have to reread it all to see. I thought this was borderline garbage and that's why I haven't touched it in so long.

Nothing is perfect, but this one comes pretty damn close. I skipped this one multiple times before finally giving it a chance and I was pleasantly surprised. EDIT: This is so fucking good I can't believe it's over, I'm not ready to cope with the loss yet!

the drama is really getting out of hand. It's a great series but like at least have them try to get out of the bad situation instead of living with it? It's not much of a BL if they don't spend any time together... EDIT: Fam this is trash. The couple only see each other for like 3 panels every 5 chapters and even then it's just to have another fight. The rest of the run time is them spending time around other men who are in to them, including going on dates. It's not even just 1 they got multiple suitors each that get introduced one after the other just to make sure that nothing gets resolved. I'm sorry author but I can tell you're stalling, you need to learn how to write a couple after they start dating. And the MC is dumb as a brick, with the LI flip flopping between actual logic that gets shot down and the most random out of nowhere decisions you could imagine. I can't tell if he's acting out of character or not because his character is whatever the story needs him to be at that moment.

Boy oh boy did I enjoy this one. Every time I thought there was a plothole, it got adressed later and in hindsight made perfect sense. Karsus appearing shirtless every 10 chapters or so was very welcome. They got together within a reasonable timeframe. The art is lovely. Not to say that I didn't have any problems with the series but overall it was a very positive experience and by the end I found myself grinning from ear to ear. EDIT: I didn't mention it before I believe to avoid spoilers but this is something that should be brought up so I'll be vague about it. Basically, somewhere really late in the series (like ch70??) Karsus randomly pulls a 180 and acts super concerning and then Sica's like "Jokes on you I'm in to that shit" and after that they go back to normal as if nothing happened. I had a real wtf bro moment when I first saw it and I'll never forget how it felt to have the wholesome fluffy atmosphere around them destroyed in an instant.
