The Perfect Male Lead
The writing is really weird. For some reason it feels like everything regarding the male childhood friend is given detail and effort, but everything else, even the goddamn main character is feeling shallow, random and effortless. Basic, all in all. And it's weird since the core story IS filled with potential. It just wasn't translated in any shape. Which disappoints me quite a bit since I love the story at it's core. :( The art is okay, but it cannot carry this. The MC is not written well enough and the strange jumping from one moment to another without emphasizing emotions or working out a single moment even really makes it hard to say that there isn't much to enjoy here if you're looking for detailed writing, coherent storytelling and overall feelings to hook you. And I do not think the translation can be at fault. It's decent and aligns with what the comic itself is portraying, so it's likely really the writing that's the issue. If this has a novel as base, then I'd suggest giving that a try. I think it could be a whole lot better, given that what makes a novel so detailed is usually cut out from the comic adaptations by those who make them (emphasizing emotions, monologue, descriptor-type sentences to give immersion, etc.). I really see nothing of interest in here for myself, so I'll be moving on. Maybe if I have time to check out source material I'll give that a try tho. We don't get many non-cliche childhood friend stories that have an interesting storyline after all. Not my thing, wouldn't recommend either but I am sure for people less interested in detailed writing and whatnot, or simply just newbies, this could still be a good read. People gotta figure that out themselves tho, so give it a try I guess if it might apply to you.

First things first: This is smut (it's tagged as ecchi for some reason). Smut is essentially only about fucking and portraying it as much as possible. And as per usual for this genre; there is only minimal story to this. XD Not your thing? Then better look for something else to read. The art is above average based on my standards. It cannot carry but it doesn't have to since the sex scenes are essentially doing that. There are very great panels tho, especially the poses are done very well and in a creative way instead of sticking to basics. There is a mild amount of story, but not much tbh. Works to make it a coherrent story instead of just a collection of porking moments. The story is interesting at it's core, but didn't get integrated enough to make this more than just smut. There IS comedy, but really not enough to warrant the tag tbh. Romance is certainly there but I think it wasn't done well as they jump from one moment to another suddenly being in love, whereas we have really only seen the seme develope feelings for a TINY moment (kinda like love at first sight, but it's only briefly mention). The MC literally goes from 'nah' to 'omg of course I love you!'. Without literally anything indicating the change, even it being in the same exact chapter while all that happened was irrelevant talking and fucking. X'D I think this is very good wank material since there is so much detailed smut and it's even done with a romantic storyline, but it doesn't work as a regular read for someone who might be interested in an actual story being there. Personally I am not a fan of the uke's really weird and ugly looking random drooling (it could have been drawn much better tbh), it even randomly vanishes or appears from one moment to another, which is really weird. But oh well. I think this would have been an exceptional story if the author had put equal effort into the storyline of romance and living, interacting with one another and working and so on instead of just focusing on smut. But it is great as a smut work, that's for sure! I'd recommend this to people looking for fap material but not for those looking for an actual story. Might be a bit much for newcomers so I'd say mid to experienced readers could like this if they are looking for something light and simple. :) It ultimately depends on each person's taste. So give it a try. ^^

I'd be interested in more stories like this. It's really nice to see an isekai'd person be needed by the big impressive ML instead of them just getting a contract marriage, forced marriage or possessive love, yada yada, etc.. XD
