How do i say this...both the art AND writing feel like a teenager HEARD what manga/webtoons are like, tried to copy the style of someone popular and then just went at it with a lackluster written plot. The art is WAY over the top in many cases. The expressions are way too exaggerated in 'funny' panels, average art is too...'toothy' if you catch my drift (it feels like you look at monkeys baring their teeth, not humans smiling or talking) or they look like they are too extreme for the situation (often looking like something from a psycho horror situation, WTF? - the artist has clearly not much grasp when it comes to understanding how to portray human emotions) and you can tell that the artist has not much skill for some angles since they look wonky af and there is visibly little effort put into them even on the very first pages. If this was re-worked, I think it could be great (IF the damn translation isn't halfassed as it was done here right from the start... I cannot recommend it, for anything really. Not even the plot is unique enough to make it worth reading or just skipping pages. And the sex scenes themselves aren't worth skipping through for either, since the first one literally goes from 'NO don't do this :v' over 'but I'm gonna~' to 'OH FEELS SO GOOOOOD~'. There is literally NO coherency, sense, emotion or justification for such a sudden change. AT ALL. It's a good attempt for a first work I guess, but that's it: an attempt. The execution leaves much to be desired on all possible fronts. 1/10
