EDIT: Dropping this at ch 78. It got even more time skippish and everything is just rushed and focusing on random sudden things without finishing one aspect from before and it keeps adding thos OBNOXIOUS timeline skips even in the middle of conversations. This is just shitty writing now. It was alright till the first 'arc' final, which wasn't even an arc, it was just random tbh. I hope the novel is better because this comic is honestly very badly done. Wouldn't recommend other than looking at art and even that is lower mid-tier tbh. :/ I now reached chapter 75 and I really have to ask: Is the romance part in the original source ALSO this badly done as in the comic? Their relationship went from failed flirting attempts or just badly portrayed emotions to 'suddenly Imma confess and we both have bad reactions to it all'. This felt WAY out of order, too random and confusing to see unfold all of a sudden. If at least a few chapters beforehand she was constantly reminding us that she had deep emotions, then sure, but there was barely anything at all in those 75 chapters. I think you can count them on one hand even. And I mean where the emotions actually got portrayed well and visually and per context of the situation made a clear step forward in the romance aspect of things. Is the novel the same? Is there just as much of a lack of emotions being conveyed in their romance scenes? Because if not then I really have to wonder what the comic creators were doing. They put so much effort into literally every other little fart that's going on, but the basically second-place focus (the romance) isn't being done even mid-tier well. It's quite the disappointment considering the writing otherwise seems to be decent or great even. So this feels really strange to me. As if the author (novel OR comic, I dunno) just didn't give a shit about the romance part being portrayed well or at all even. The romance up to this point is SO badly done in the comic, it's as if it was shoehorned in so it's not only a slice of life/political drama story. Which I could totally see being a thing tbh, it has the plot for it anyway.

The writing of this is riddled with bullshit logic and overall stupidity, not just from the characters but the author themselves. NO character here is likable, the story not interesting enough to have me keep reading and the art simply cannot carry this over the mountain of dumbness there is. Classic case of a smut comic pretending it has a cohesive, well-written story but there is really just nothing of value here besides the fucking scenes. Dropped. Not worth my time. It's just overall really badly done. :/

I'm 3 chapters in and I had already lost interest to 101%. And I DID try and read further but, it's not getting better. So I'm out. The art is nice, character designs too, but it's wasted on a plot about an absolute doormat special alpha seme and the bitch-bitch omega uke who doesn't care about others in the slightest. (note to all creators: narcissists are not appealing unless you make them a cute-type tsundere) I'll give the creator credit for turning the roles around at least, but it's still an unappealing setup I have really zero interest in. So I'm sadly going to drop this. Nice art tho, so I suppose for some people that can carry the comic. Depends on taste I guess. ╮( ̄▽ ̄)╭
