Ermehgerd. They're kinda cuteee!

The characters are lovely. But the sex is so so.

None of the stories are great, they're just, interesting? 4.35

It's really just smut. But they're super cute together, so I'll give it 4.45

A botanist and an animal behaviour scientist find love!! It's smut, but they're pretty cute. 4.6 Ch 7

This is truly a lesson in not everything being black and white. While Muon is by far the better of the two, his massacre of the remaining Yul survivors is a horror I don't think I could have lived with. Having said that, all in all, this had excellent world-building and very good writing for just 40 chapters. Ideal length, tbh. 4.85

I feel like they've covered the entire plot in this 1 chapter?

I love it. It hits many right notes. Many! Of course, Junseo is trash; the trashiest trash to ever trash. But if that's all the story was about, it would be incredibly dull and one dimensional. The story has so much depth because it really touches so many key issues. It highlights the subtle and overt forms of sexism prevalent within families, workplaces and the society in general. It discusses a wide variety of situations that are based in misogyny, from stalkers, to sex offenders, to victim blaming, to succession rights, and even the not-like-other-girls syndrome and a whole lot more. It doesn't let off people like Sera's brother, or the actor in love with Nana, who were essentially nice guys, but did not seem to understand how disrespectful, diminishing and demeaning their actions could sometimes come across as. I love that Nana found her niche, that Sunyeong finally learned to strike the balance between being nice and having self-respect and that Sera made it to the top from her own efforts, just as she had always been primed to do. And I even love that none of them ended up with any of the potential love interests, at least, within the frame of this story. I wouldn't mind an epilogue with that, though. But I think all three women going on a trip to Cebu would be, hands-down, a much better epilogue. Ch 71

Saye was gifted to the Sultan's harem as a mere 10 year old by her cowardly parents and lived forgotten in the shadows for 10 years. But little did she know, her kind act of hiding an injured stranger from thugs would end up changing her world forever. Saye is pretty meek, but I definitely don't hate that about her. She's had a hard life and she's certainly incredibly strong and resourceful to survive as long as she did until Kainer came and found her. As for Kainer, there's no denying that he's an absolute brute, a tyrant through and through. But he's also sickly-sweet to her, to the point of coming across as a completely different person. He also appears to care for his nanny, who also loves him a lot in return. I guess he's only good to the people he loves, or something. I don't know, either way, I enjoyed this as a light read to pass time but it's certainly nothing to write home about. 4.4

Just smut and doesn't really do anything for me. I like them, though. Very human (lol) characters. Ch 14
